THE PEOPLE IN FAVOR or PROTECTION
Well We cheated out Of the result afterward.
Never by direction We have never lost battle on this
Question When the people rose again and ruled they
put back the Tariff Of 1872 BY frauds which deceive,

THE ORIGIN PROTECTION
III. Another fact that wish you tolcOnsider In this
connection is this Our successive Protective Tariffs have
grown Of the felt necessities Of the people. Mr.
sWebster in his later and wiser days declared what
have doubt from other evidence the truththat the
Constitution carried by the necessity felt by the
people for the Protection of their Industry We had
scr We had tariff existing from 1852 to 1851 And
Sperysdng distress as old men remember and as young
Snen have read-your Shayss rebellion IN this State,
ahe Legislature besieged and almost coerced into
ordering an issue OF paper money And all over the
into existence the Constitution There was no taxing

Fress determined to levy duties for the purpose OF
state in the Union, refused to consent, and they
were not levied and the SO@mercai e s;4Cns

PROTECTION DEMANDED AGRICULTURE.
" The fourth fact which call your attention is this
That who planted and established in this coun-
cry policy Protection not the champions OF an
existing interest In far Manufactures were con-
cerned for we had them not You recolect Gen. Jack
sons letter of 1874 TO Coleman Of the commonest
documents, whereof the argument runs thus: We

our products; we must make market. Howl TAKE
