Legislation seemed 70 be required. Con-
ssqusnily in bis message 70 Congress. in
1878, Mr.. Madison said:

prompt and constant guardianship Of

Mr.. Monroe, wise and patriotic Re-
publican, in his inaugural address, in
1877, said:
Orr manufactures will likewise require
the systematic aud fostering care Of go
vernmeni; possessing. as we do, all the
raw materials, the fruit Of our own soil and
industry, we ought MOTTO depend in the
degree we have done on The supplies from
other countries; while we are thus depen-
dent, the sudden event OF war unsoughl
and unexpected, cannorfail 10 plunge US in
the most serious difficulties. tits impor-
tant. too, that the capital which nourishes
our manufactures should be domestic, and
lis influence in that case instead Of exhaus-
ting. as il may do in foreign hands, would
be felt adyanisgeously on agriculture and
every other branch Of industry; equally
important is il 10 prorids home market
for our raw materials, as by extending The
competition il will enhance the price and
protect the culiivator against the casual
lies incident 70 foreign markets"
Mr.. ]. Q. Adams, his successor, held
the same doctrines. -
,Gea. Jackson is an authority which
few Democrats, We think, will be dispos-
ed to question. In letter to DR.. Cole
man of our state, in 1924, he wrote as
follows: v.a@
- Heaven smiled upon and gave us
liberty and independence. That same
Providence has blessed US with the means
of national Independence and national
defence. nc We omit, or refuse, 10 use
the gifts which he has extended TO us. we
deserve not the continuation Of his bless
ing. He has filled our mountains with
minerais-wiih lead, iron and copper,
and given us climate and soil for The
growing Of hemp and tcool. These be-
ing the great materials of ournational de-
fence, they ought 10 have extended 10
them adequate and lair PROTECTION;
that our manufacturers and taborers may
be placed in fair competition ,cifh those
of Europe, and that we may have within
our country a supply Of those leading and
|. important articles so essential in war;"
! In letter 10 Gov. Ray in 1928, he re-
peated The same sentiments; and in hi:
message 70 Congress IN December 1890
he says:
