Q.e..i... for Free Tr.aer..

The Dubuque Times asks the following
pertinent questions of free trade cotem-
porsry:
II Canada considers our tariff ION the
articles she sells as tax on our people
instead Of on hers. why is she SO anxious
to have it removed?
II England considers free trade such 9
blessing and tariff such . curse. why
does she keep up her own tariff. -aod why
is she go desirous to have Us abolish oufs!
Is she so willing 10 take all the curses
aud give Us alpths ssings?
Do not sll nations. in advocating ths
advantages Of free trade while keeping up
a tariff. show that they do not believe
hat they say. and are therefore selfish
hypocrites. desiring to lead others to ruin
for their own benefit? .-- r,sJ- .
II 10 tariff affords no prot 'ction. as the
free traders insist. how do they account
for its securing the monopoly they pratt
about? Z - = H---' : 4 r.

profits. why do not free traders 60 into

possibly be overthrown. or under that o
a foreign monopoly which We osnno

ssries Of life. or be independent and self.

Of one half, and be dependent on some.

Iftariff duties do not interfere with tn,

The importers in New York City
