Free Trade tn. Protection
FOR FREE TRADE,

[FTpn the Dtt2Wn Republican.
That the tariff Is high md oppressive just
now to the West, we agree. IN fact, as We
have often said and sometimes written, free
trade Is the only reasonable trade in the wide
world. One ought to have the right to ex.
change his article honestly earned, with any
one and every one Of his fellow beings under
the sun. To tax him for the exercise of this
natural right, is arbitrary, and we had almost
said unjust, Nor Is the matter helped, but
worsted, when we remember TINT persons are
paid at heavy cost to collect that
tax. In some instances more than half
tho tariff reysnue Is exhausted By
the various officers collecting 1t. It
reminds us Of the IrIshman at a little pike
gate In Kentucky. When asked the amount
Of his receipts per day. he said, on the aver
acc, few faIthings less than hts dues for
keeping the gate! He thought that his little
balance would hardly break the company
that owned the road! And yet they must
have been tempted to do as the nan who
some wears ago sent hla pork to New York.
After being sold, q bill OF one hundred dollars
came to him for freight and charges, above
the amount It brought. On examining the
question, he replied to the New York men,
that he could not be the man they we're after,
Us he wholly denied ever having any pork at
But the tariff Is mainly defended as Is war
on the ground Of sefEdefence. England
tariffs Us, and We IN return tariff them to keep
even.
