"every year hundreds of young men, who have
been ndoctrinated In the creed of freedom OF
trade, go forth from our colleges into all parts
Of the country, carrying with them the deduc-
tons Of economical science in favor of leaving
the occupations of men unshackled by the re-
sIictions of law"
With the instruction thus disseminated
through the nation, the chief fault to be found is
Its incompleteness; little learning is a danger
Gus thing But the modes of reasoning inculcated
In the schools are available to upset the system
which pretends to make trade free, and to es-
tabllsh that which effects it in reality At any
rate, we hold ourselves bound to maintain the
philosophy of protection on the principles of
free-trade as expounded by ADAM SMITH.
With some of the later doctors of political
economy, who still claim to be his disciples
while they renounce his doctrines, we should
differ rather in reference to facts than to the
conclusions which would result from them, if
established. We have common object with
them and the Post, that of removing, or max
ing nugatory, the restrictions which shackle
the occupations Of men. The difference be-
tween us is, as to the speediest and most effec-
tual method of achieving freedom of trade, alb
solute and perfect.
The Post can be enlightened, as to what
may strike it as paradoxcal in these profess
sions, lift thinks it worth the while. We are
quite willing, even in the dog days, to try our
respective titles to the appellation of genuine
friends of free-trade, with any body who is dis
posed to make up an issue.
