will exceed those of Great Britain or France.
The war gave us high tariff, and as by i
magic, manufactures spraug Into existence in {
all parts Of the North. What is It that gives !
the Government the power ot drawing five !
hundred millions OF taxes per year from the !
people! Our manufacturing prosperity pro- t
tectcd by high tariff-that's the true an j
swer. Strike down those mills, forges, shops, !
and the revenue will dsy up the public pros
perIty will also dry up, and the law most
needed will be a bankrupt law. ::
Notwithstanding we have emerged but &; ;
few months from tremendous war, that
strained every fibre Of society, yet ROW, we
are enjoying in the North, unprecedented !
commercial prosperity, and the South Is re-
covering from her fall with marvellous quick
nces. It Is true that goods and groceries aro
very high in price, but 80 Is labor. You can't
reduce the former without reducing the lat
lcr; cheap goods and dear labor are contradic-
tIons In terms.
Il Is better to have dear goods, high wages
aud plenty Of work, than cheap goods and NO
work. Our country Is now prosperous, and
rapidly growing rich In the face OF immense
taxation. Is It not the part Of wisdom 10 let
well enongh alonet Tho farmers are COM
planning Of railroad extortion, but this is d To-
cal matter that can be regulated By State leg
islation. Let the Government lend helping
band to improve the great natural channe1A of
transportation 50 as to cheapcu the transit OF
food and goods but at the same time foster
cur growing mechanical Industry, aud M
tional wealth will soon reach proportions not
dreamed Of in the free traders philosophy.

ish free trade authority of John Bright Now
allow me to present on equally high American
authority In behalf Of Protectton-Henry C.
Carey, the political economist. In lecture
delivered few days ago before the New
York Historical and Statistical Society, "On
the Resources Of this Country" be elaborate
lY discussed this very question Of free trade
rs. protection. ask space fos the following
abstract Of his arguments. as 1t Is only fair
and right that the protection side, as present
ed By Carey, should 60 to your readers with
The free trade opinions Of Bright. Mr Carey
