TIE SPEECH.
For his own part, he (Mr
Webster) had supposed thai
restrictions on trade and com
merce, in order TO benefit par
ticular classes Of msnulac
lures, were now very gener
ally understood to be mischie
yous and inconsistent with
just notions Of political econ
omy,
We see the most enlight
ened nations which have
adopted this artificial system
are tired Of II. We see tn,

parties, condemning II. Tn,

whether the disease lie not 50
inveterate as to yield to no re
medy which would not pro
dnce great evils. The only
difference is, whether II be al
evil, grevious, hut to be borne
or a grevious evil, not to b,
borne. He alluded 10 Eng

minister in Great Britain Civ,
his opinion emphatically tina
England has become what sh,
Is, not by means of this sys

then, are we SO eager TO adop
a system which others, who
have tried II, would be glad t.
repudiate7 Can any thing, h,
would ask, in this gener
al view Of the subject, b.
more unwise than that thi,
country should adopt such 9
course OF policy A policy
OF which he would say, tina
no nation had entered upon
and pursued II, without hav
ing found II to be a policy
which could not he followed
without great national injury
nor abandoned without exten
sive individual ruin. To leave
men to their own discretion
to conduct their own concern,
by their own skill and pru
dence. and to employ Their
capital and their labor in such
occupations as they them
selves found most expedient
has been found the wisest, o,
II is the simplest. course o.
political legislation. As there
is an order in the natura'
world, which holds all things
in place--as the air we breathe
is wisely combined and com
pounded for our use by the
course Of nature-so there i,
a principle Of regulation, 8
sort Of ris medicdtrir nature
in the social world. Excess,
corrects itself. II there be too
much commerce, II will be
diminished; II there be too few
manufactures, they will be in
creased with but ordinary
care and protection. For his
part, he believed that, how
ever derided, the principle o.
leaving such things very
much to their own course, In
a country like ours, was the
only true policy; and that We
could no more improve the
order and habit and compost
ton Of society by an artificial
balancing Of trades and occu'
pations, than we could i'm
prove the natural atmosphere
by means OF the condenser
and rarifiers Of the chemists.

THE SPEECH.

and the next thing | have to
say Is, that in my judgment
the principles OF the act OF
1872 are the true principles,
specific duties, and not ad "a.
loren assessment. Just dis.
elimination, and in that just
discrimination great care not
to tax the raw material so
high as 10 be a bounty to the
foreign manufacturer, and be
'loppesed to our own. Dis
termination and specific du-
tiles, and such duties rs are
full and adequate TO the pur-
poses Of protection. These
are the principles OF the act OF
lisa. And whenever there Is
presented to me any propose.
ltion from any quarter, which
contains adequate protection.
founded on these indispensa.
bile principles, as contained
lin the act OF 1912, I shall take

'ltion to the domestic industry

,Iciples.

to say that I will take no part

the next place, ] desire to say
that the great responsibility

as | am concerned, they shall

vast machinery--she has a
dense population-a cheaply,

therefore in free trade. We
cannot, unless willing to be-
come badly fed and badly
