Free Trade as a Bond Of Peace.
Mr.. Secretary Davis, at the banquet Friday
night, took occasion to declare himself very warmly
in favor Of Free Trade, means OF preserving
peace among the nations Of the earth. The cordial
applause With which his remarks were received, in.
dcated very general concurrence IN the sentiments
expressed Indeed we believe the public generally
regard the question Of protection having been set
tied. and having taken its place among the obsc-
ete ideas which belong exclusively 10 the past. II IL
not likely again TO Constitute Of the dividing lines
of political parties. Whether the wing part, dead
not, it is likely again advocate the adoption
of such tariff shall protect American labor from
the fullest and the freest competition with the labor
Of the world. That issue has been made and decid-
ed over and over again:-and the popular verdict has
been against the principle of protection. II very
easy il is true, explain the adverse result IN each
case by buting il tn The fact that other issues in
tervened that the public mind was misled and
that the contest therefore, was neither fair nor final.
But this alter the fact for the popular
yicon had been distinctly in favor Of protection, oth-
er issues would not have been allowed to Interfere
with its expression. Right wrong, The people Of
this Country have decided almost directly. and we
suspect quite finally, in favor of unrestricted com'
merce, as have those Of England. And that party
will he wise, in either country, which shall cha-
engc the verdict, aad insist upon another trial Of the
! Issue.
Looking at the matter, therefore, from political
point Of vew Gen. Davis Committed no very heinous
offence against propriety, when he introduced the
subject Of free 7 ade into his speech a, the dinner
! o! FRIDAY night. And in every other respect the
reference clearly pertinent The very first topic
which an Exhibition If the Products Of the Industry
o! all Nations naturally suggests, that Of the fieest
possible intercourse the la gest possible interchange
Of Commodities among them. The great London Ex-
hibition " hch was the first ever had in which all
nations joined dine directly TO the adoption o.
the free trade policy secured By Sir Robert Peel. 1t
seemed grow naturally from ito be its direct
and inevitable result And the very general desire
which has been shown tc initiate that great demon
straon, and to hold similar exhibitions in different
countries, icaes growing tendency on The part OF
the people Of those countries, towards greater free-
dom Of commercial Intercourse Nations no longer
repel the products Of each others labor They rah-
or inv tie the interc change.
! And whatever NAV be thought Of Free Trade as 4
question of political economy and its relations 10 the
welfare Of particular countries, no one Can doubt that
is the potent of all possible agencies for pre-
serving peace among the nations which adopt IT.
! Gen. Davis and the French Minister were clearly
right in declaring that the best possible means Of
preventing war, is multipiy the Commercial rela-
tions Of the different countries Of the earth. The
direct tendency Of Free Trade is to break down tho
bai ries which separates nations ,o create for them
common interest, and thus 70 reader hostihties
