1t is in substance, to enact such regulations
for the government of our foreign trade, a., will
counreraci and prevent this everlasting ext ess
of imports over exports, and turn the tide Of for

is the permanent estab shnent Of a suitable pro-
tectire 'fdriG system. We say pro,ectire because
protection Is The thing neutrality-suspicious. Of
American Interests against the hostile machina-
