Now, lct my one 70 through those articles.
and be will perceive that the per cent Of IN.
crease averages iess than the Increase In the
prices Of agricultural Products. Indeed, the
greatest advance IN bis list OF articles is found
tn sugar, syrup ans1 cotton, and the reason Is
that Inc rebellion interfercd with the Ameri-
cnn production Of those staples
The duty on sugar il to 31< cents per
pound. It was 21z before the war; the in
crease Is, therefore, but one cent per pound.
and the reason Of the great advance Is found
in the destruction Of the American sugar crop
mand for imported sugar, which caused
m advance IN the price Of the foreign
commodity. The same causes exactly
operated 10 put up the price Of syrups. The
duty on molasses from sugar cane IL but eight
cents per gallon, and, on due qualities Of syr-
up two and half cents Per pound. The old
advance in the price Of molasses is therefore
caused, not by the tariff, hut by the decrease
In the American production Of molasses. And
this fact proves what Protcctionists hnve nl-
ways maintained, viz: that when any great
branch Of American industry is destroyed or
parnlyzed, that The extra demand on the for
eisn aHIrle to supply the deficit, puts up. the
price of that article. Thus nothing is gained

The great deep Of the public mind Is Just
now being stirred to its foundation by the dis
cussion Of the question of free trade, once 50
prominent In our Dntional politics. Whole
columns are given up to it In the leading
papers, and It Won1d seem that the ground Of
prQtectfou to certain branches OF industry
must ere long be fought over In the political
arena For many years this question, although
one OF great Importance to the nation, has
been entirely lost sight of In the more import
ant contests which have occupied the public
mind 1pon the question Of alaVery. Now that
the latter has been met and put to rest, It
seems but uatura1 that other Issues should be
looked up for the basis Of future political on
We are glad 10 see tkis discussion take the
shape It docs, lor 1t omens well for good re.
sults- Democrats and Republicans appear
upon the sume side with each other. and
aga1nat men Of their own party, md the ar
gument goes on without reference to party
lines or atiinities. Men do not understand that
rily commits them 10 this or that side Of tie
question Of tariffs, ftee trade and protection.
No other state OF facts Is so favorable for the
deduction Of correct conclusions.
The question at Issue Is briefly this: Shall
We, BY the imposition Of heavy duties upon
articles Of foreign mauulactnre, endeavor to
encourage and stimulate the manufacture Of
Ike articles In our own country!
!, Our personal opinions are ofno consequence
to any one; but we freely say, In opposition
to our earlier political Impressions, We arc
now nnhesitatingly and enthusiastically on
the side Of the negntive Of this question.
The Affirmative calls upon ia to tax the
majority for the benefit Of few, without
corresponding advantages to those who bear
the burden Of taxation. It compels us to
buy where we would not otherwise chose to
make our purchases, and to sell TO those who
may or may not pay MS the highest prices for
our products. It denies to alf fair piay, IN tho
race Of life, and lays upon men unnatural bur
dcns.
Aswe would, when all things fayor 1t, see
every obstacle removed from the free thought |
and free action OF every human being, that,
with enlightened mind md conscience. he
may be at perfect liberty to think as he
p!eases, so would We sec ali men at liberty TO |
purchase where he can purchase cheapest, and
sell where they can fnd the best market. II |

These statements show that, as far as the
relative values Of coin and currency depend
on the paper circuI ation, there is no reason
to anticipate rise in the price of gold. With
the steady decline in volume of the ag-
gregate of the paper circulation, there ought,
by theory, to be an equally steady fall in the
price of gold But as the price of gold in
the market depends on a multiplicity of
causes, many of which cannot even be esti-
itself from the absolute control of paper, in
other words to advance, or to remain station

diminishing, is measure of the intensity of

were before the war-that is, in gold.

thinks it wonderful to see with what luxuri-
