Now, sir. from all tho wide range o
discussion into which have been dri-
ven by tho general attacks upOn the
whole policy of Protective duties,
think the following practical conclu-
sionS mny be deduced:
H. That no nation has ever become
prosperous, powerful, rich. or really in
dependent. but by the protection offs
own manufactures aud productions.
g That such has been tho policy Of
England, OF all the great States Of the
world, and such Tho established practice
Of the Colberls, and the SuIiy', The Wal
stngbnms. the Pitts, tho 4iamiItous,
the JsGer'ons, g. the other great states
mrn.
8 That such has heen inc policy Of
tthe United States from their origin Us a
nation tn 1888
4. That the msnufac'Ures 0f the coun
FRY have been created and developed by
the Tar'f, aud that they are now Nbun
dsul sources OF national wealth
8 That in The progress Of our m7nu
facInrcS, the corn grower Of the West,
the cotton growerof the South, and eIl
tho agricultural Interests. have been
greatly 'benefupd BY the opening Of
domestic market.

strated in the condition orihp manulac

Z Tbats relaxed !nriG leads to tx

That the Protective policy a po-
Icy Of self defence, and necessary to
national Independence, as eVlnccd 10 the
formation OF tho Prua'ian l.ealne.

Tariff is n taxation OF the consumes. for
the benefit OF The manufacturer, is a
(a|lacy, us cvinced in the rapid growth
and constant cheapening Of the manu-,
