There i no reason why every person
who owns a patch Of land, should not
pint tree. How much would il add
10 The beauty, comfort and health Of our
villages, if the inhabitants would but
obey this simple rule. Ii is true that
trees are slow Of growth--lhai they are
liable 10 many accidents, aud that the
planter my die before enjoying The plea
sure Of sitting in their shs1e; but such
reasoning after all, furnishes no valid OBJ
lection 10 the enterprise. and no one who
loves his country, orregarts the happiness
C his pos.eriiy will be influenced by such
low and inercenary views. Sir Walter
Scott, who had passion fer planting,
says, in reference to this subject:
You can have no idea ofihe exquisite
delight Of a planter; he is like q painter
laying on his culors-at every momen,
he sees his effects coming on. There is
no art or occupation comparable to this; II

IN DEFENCE OF THE TARIFF AND
DISTRIBUTION,
Delivered in the House oil Representatives on
the l3ta vi March, 1874
THE DUTIES ADDED TO THE PRICES, NOT
TRUE.
The grea. and leading objection 10 the
protective policy is, that the duties are
added to the price, and paid by the con-
sumers. This objection lies a, the foun-
da,ion of the opposition to this policy;
and, If unfounded, this opposition ought
10 cease. The duty is added to the price;
this is the theory. Now, sir, how is the
perience fact; what says experience! All
lexpeproses that this objection has no
existence, save in the imagina,ions of
those who make j..
Now, sir, | lay it down as 6 neral pro-
position, tina, there never was ahigh protec-
tive duty imposed upon any article, from
the foundation of this Government to the
present day, The price of which has not
been in the end reduced-grea,ly reduced
in many instance TO one-hali, one-third,
and one-four,h of what it had been be-
fore these protective duties were impos-
ell. This, sir, may seem to gentlemen
on the other side 10 be strong declara-
ton; but, sir, make it deliberately, with
a full cons lotion of its truth, and chal-
lenge gentlemen to disprove i'll defy
them to point out single instance TO the
contrary. Letthem examine, and they will
find invariably that, wherever the duties
have been highest, the prices have ultl-
mately come down the lowest. and for We
ry obvious reason-high duties promote
competition, and competition never fails
to bring down prices. This effect is inva'
! riable and universal; but unfortunately the
duties always run up as the price runs
