The policy Of the French Government was accurately
defined, zone three four years since, by the Presi
DEBT Of The Council and there is nothing in the En-
Jercrs letter ihst not in strict accordance with the
determination then expressed as follows;
The fsr e the pr.iDe e. se Ss
Al, destructive Of her nobet msnnfacture' No
biors and think ey he removed Profession, how,
ever 10 n''e''sr TO panusctrres Tt profession mn.t
mBs, be hiInls maintained"
We are told however, that treaty has been signed
in whrb there are great advances toward freedom OF
trade. fso il does but prove the perfect accuracy OF
H. Chevaler who Is said to have been the Freoch No
gocstor regarding protection Of the domestic CON-
the real and certain mode Of reaching free
dom Of Intercourse with foreign nations- In every
county," he has told his readers there arises
"Decep.ify for aeeimaiDg among s people the prin-
I" cipa branches Of industry agriculture alone be-
coming Insufficient. "Every community, considerable
in numbers, and occupying extensive territory,
is therefore, be thahs "we inspired when seeiog
TO the establishment among is members, Of Diversity
" in the mooes of employment From the moment
hat it approached maturity Il should GEEK TO Pre-.
{" pare iself therefor; and when it fails TO do so 1t
a. mai es grta. mistake" This "combina IN Of va
f" rieo effort" az be continues, SIS not only promotive
Of general property. bnt Il is the condition Of ma
" ,ional progress" Elsewhere he Gays that gov
eIDmtnts are, in effect the personifcaion Of Nations
. and It is required that they should exercise their in
fuence in the direction indicated by the general
interest," properly studied and carefully appreciated"
Therefore does be "regsrd excellent the desire OF
" come Of the most eminent men Of the principal ma
tcDs Of Europe IN estabsh around them the various
"brsrches Of manufactues."
snth being the latest Vows Of the present leading
free-trade writer of France We may, think, feel
eu,e assured that what he may have done, s only
wbat be has regarded as warranted by the advanced
position occupied by French manufacture that pos-
top having be.D attained by means of steady pursuit
Of the protective policy. 1t is the point at which we
have ourselves arrived in reference 10 every branch OF
manufacture TIA, has found self efficiently protected
in tie domestic market whether by the part'uar
crr us.ances Of the case by aid Of revenue lava
More steadily than 10 any other was protection given
10 the production Of coarre eottoDs, and hence II
ia that we now export them. The newspaper Is
protected by locality, and that protection Ii abso-
luie and con pltie and bence it ia that we have now
the cheapest journals in the world The piano MANN
acnre is protected by cmaie and therefore is that
il bss attained q development exceeding that OF any
other country. Had iron been well protected, our
annual product would count by millions Of tuns, and
we should be exporting in the forms Of iron, and
manufactures of iroD quantity Of food twice greater
than that we PEND to Europe, All our experience
shows that the perfect the security of the mad
uacurer in the domestic market, the greater is the
tendency that increase of competition needed for en-
abliDg us coon 10 the work OF supplying tho
exterior world.
In your notice Of the changes now proposed IN the
French commercial system you speak in terms OF high
approval of Mons Chevalier, "zealous adversary
Of commercial restrictions" but have You ever, my
dear Sir taught the doctrines of the teacher Of whom
you now 30 much approved Have you ever told your
readers
Toat "every community Is weD-inspired when seeing
"to the establishment among its members, Of diyersy
" in the odes Of employment
That combination Of varied effort is the condition Of
national pyoeressP
That "every nation therefore, owes It 10 itself to
seek the establishment of dversifcation m the pur
" cults of it's people, Germany and England have al
ready done in regard 10 co,ons and woolens and as
L" Franse has done in reference TO many and so
widely different kinds Of manufacturing industry"
That Governments are in effect the personidcatien
Of nations and should exercse their influence in the
direction of the general interest properly studied and
Z" fully sppreciaiedf' And, therefore,
That "it is only the accomplishment of positive
duty so 10 act at each epoch in the progress of
ton to favor the taking possession of all branches
:" Of industry who's acquisition ia authorized by the
"nature Of tbngsl'
Unhsppily such have not been the teachings Of TIE
Post. Had they been s1ch-bad your journal sus-
tanned the policy advocated b. Mons Chevalier, as
here established at the date of the fearful financial cr
sis Of 1912, should not, at this tine, have
been far advanced toward that position in which we
cond feel that protection would TO be required
Unfortunately il has taught the reverse Of lhis-the
Jesuts exhibiting themselves in constant succession
of financial crises and paralyses Of the most fearful
kiDd-in REPEATED bankruptcies of the Treasury, OF
banks, railroad companies, and merchalts-n an al
moot entire destruction of condence-in the subjuga
ton Of the poor boirow to the rich money LENDER TO
an extent unparalleled In any civilized country Of the
world-aDd in growth of paupersm, slavery and
rre that must be arrested If we wou)d not gee per-
lection OF anarchy established az being the condition Of
national existence.
Had you and others taught the doctrines Of H. Chev
aier, would such be now the s,a.e OF things in
try 20 richly endowed by nature as our own
Not having taught them, and such having been the
suits OF your pas teachings is II not your daty,
as man, rs lover of liberty, and as Christian, to
study anew the doctrines Of the economist you have
much commended, and satisfy yourself that you have
been steadily advocating the extension Of Slavery,
while desiring TO be the advocate of Freedom
hoping that you may conclude to furnish answers TO
these questions and reiterang the tina. they
shall have the largest circulation among the advocates
of Protection,
