The Doctrine of Protection.


One Of the most absurd fsllacies put forth
by the party press, to sustain the doctrine Of
protective duties, (the Bulletin. by the way,
argu' very emily on the question yester.
day, is that in which they contend that the
free trad OF England has been the ruin ol
Irish manufactures. Why Irish manufac-
lures were ruined long before any English
statesman ever whispered the policy of FREE
trade. They were ruined because British
Parliament imposed duties and restrictions
on the Irish manufacturer, instead OF con
ceedng TO him, in fact. the same measure OF
free trade which the English manufacturer
enjoyed. This is the whole story, in a nut
shell-simple enough, Heaven knows! And
yet, such philosophers as Horace Greeley,
write column alter column to prove that the
case Of Ireland, in connection with England
in this behalf. applies TO this country. When
England, and not Congress and President
of the peoples choosing, legislates for this
country, it will-not before. ..sr

fore the Railroad was built from Baltimore
to Washington, Mr.. Webster was compelled
to go to the Federal city from the former
place in private hack. The man who drove
The. wagon was such an ill-lcoking fellow,
