Mr. Daniel denounced protective IA.
tiff as Federal measure, inexpedieni.
unconstitutional, and oppressive.
Is il a Federal measure! Let us see
who have been IFS advocates.
Gen. Washington, is true, has been
called Federalisi, and he advocated pro-
lection. In his first annual message to
Congress, on the sih of July, 1890, he
said: ~# ee-se t-.
The safety and iR'esests Of the peo-
pie require that tkey shall promote such
manufactures as tend to render them in
dependent of others for essentials"
And the first act of Congress on the
subject. approved by him, in its Pream-
BILE declares, ...s
Whereas, it is necessary for the sup
port Of government. Cor the discharge Of
the debts of the United States, and the
encouragement and protection Of manu-
features. that duties be laid on goods,
wares, and merchandise imported, there

Itappears also, that that greatnian, the
9isinierested patriot and 'benefactor O
mankind, continued through his whole
administration to advocate The encourage
men. Of the domestic industry OF hi.
country. The same policy was FOLLOWED
by his successor, Mr.. Adams, also a,Fe
deralist.
But MI. Jefferson has been styled TN
apostle Of the old Republican party. ou

jefferson, in the principle Of protection
went much farther than either Gen
Washington or Mr.. Adams. In his an
nnal message in December 1902, he Ian
down as among the imperative duties

ITO cultivate peace and maintain
commerce aud navigation in all their law
