Import ant Letter from lIr. Madison-No,y
first published.
The Richmond Wing contains the following
letter from Mr.. Madison TO Mr. Rvcs OF Virgin
ia, written in 1929, and now first made public.
It will be seen that both Mr.. Jefferson and Mr..
Madison recognize the principle Of Protection to
Home Industry as a constitutional power Of
Congress.
The Misrepresentation Of Mr.. Jeferson's opinions
by the FREE TRADERS exposed and refuted
By Mr.. Madison.
Notwithstanding the repeated and earnest re-
commentator Of protective duties by MIR. Jeffer
son, both when he was Secretary of State under
General Washington's Administration and subse
Guenty when he was President of the United
States violent efforts have been made from time
to time, by the disciples Of the modern Free Trade
school, to appropriate his name an authority,
even against the consttutionaty of protective
duties Mr.. McDuffie, in his last speech on the
Tariff during the late session OF Congress, sought
to explain away all these solemn, elaborate and
official testimonies of Mr. Jetferson's opinions OF
this subject BY single sentence in private and
unstuded letter of his to Mr.. Giles in 1925, there
by placing him, in the last year of his hle, virtu
ally in contradiction TO the whole tenor of his
public and responsible action, and of his repeat
edly declared opinions from 1871 down 10 that
period Mr.. McDufhe thus exultingly introdu
ces his reference 10 MIR. Jetierson's letter to Mr..
Giles
But in 1925, in letter to MIR. Giles, he did speak
unequivocally that point, and shall quote sin
| gle sentence, which is conclusive answer TO the
argument Of the Senator from Virginia -(Mr.
Rves.)
Under the power 10 regulate commerce. they assume in
definitely that also agriculture and manufacturers and
regulation TO take the Of Of these bnnches
into the pockets of the other, the most ourhIDg Of ALL
he same use having been attempted 10 be
made of this letter of Mr.. Jefferson in the heated
discussions of lS2S-'29, it was then rebuked
and triumphantly repeed, in noble vindication
OF the consistency of his deceased friend, MIR.
Madison, in letter addressed by him TO Mr..
| Rives, which we have recently had the pleasure
OF reading, and of which we are now enabled to
lay literal and exact copy before our readers
Copy of . letter from Mr.. Madison to Mr. Rivesl
MONTPELIER, Jan. q 1879.
DEAR SIR: ! have received under your cover,
the newspaper containing the explanatory remarks
on the two letters relating 10 the power oi Congress
| to encourage Domestic Manufactures. The wri er
OF the letters is laid unde great obligations by the
oportune aud opposite lnerposiion IN their behalf.
The strange m!scoDsTuciions which continue TO be
put on the occasion and object OF them, would pro-
duce surprise II such efir's oi party other feel
ings were less familiarised 10
i am truly sorry 10 observe the persevering and
exufing appeals 10 the letter OF MIR. Jefferson 10 Mir.
TILES. The inconsistency Is monstrou-, between
he proessed vaneration for his name, and the
anxiety 10 make him avow opinions IN The most
pointed opposilon 10 those maintained by him IN
mis- more deliberate correspondence with Others and
| acted on through his whole official liie.
| cannot particularly refer 10 mis- letters 10 Aus
tin and others but have consulted his elaborate re-
port in 1893, when Secretary OF SAT-, aud ell his
Messages, when President; and find IN them the
most explicit and reiterated sanctions given TO the
power 10 regulate trade or commerce, in favor of
manufacturers by recommending ihe expediency OF
exercising the power or that purpose, we'll for
ohsrs, distinct derogaing from the object Of re-
venue.
Having noted the pages in the State papers pub
lished by Wait, as | examined lhem with an eve TO
Mr.. Jeferson's opinions, refer them in the mar
gin abridging research, II your curiosity should
al any time prompt one.
To set up against such evidence Of Mr.. Jeffar-
sons direct and settled opinion, the unstudcd and
unguarded language incident 10 hasty and conf.
Denial correspondence, IL surely as unreasonable,
il must be disrespectiul a,d unfrendly, 10 make
basis OF charge that he had through so many
wears, and on so many occasions, maintained and
acted the power in question, without discovering
hatit was not warranted by the great charter which
he had bound himself by oath NOT 10 violate Every
rule OF fair construction, we'll every motive OF
friendly respect ought 10 flvor much as possible
meaning in the lie Ter that would reconcile it with
the over" helming evidence OF opinions elsewhere
vowed instead OF displaying self-contradcton by
turning the letter against nose opinions"
