PRE- TRADE vs.. TARIFF.


The Washington Chronicle discusses this
matter in the following able style:
The St. Louis Dispatch, Democratic Of
4 recent date, says: 1.-THE weakness Of the
Radical party in Pennsylvania is in no
small degree attributable TO the high tariff
and monopolies which that party has estab-
lished, and which i; maintains The coun-
try is beginning to see that the Radicals are
the enemies of free labor and free industry
The absurdity of this hypothesis is proved
BY the fact that in a distinct contest between
free trade, and even the present moderate
tariff, there would not be 100 900 votes Of
the nearly 100000 in Pennsy lvania cast for
free trane. The a'temp: of some of the
Republicans in the West to make free trade
an issue in the Republican ranks can end
in nothing but disaster, and the s"cner they
take lesson from the dismal teachings of
that theory in England and France the bet
ter for themselves. Great Britain Is to-day
a vast swarm of paupeIs-in her manufac-

the theme of all free traders, turns out on
trial TO be disastrous to both parties.
But we do not need the confessions of
foreigners as to the ruinous effects of free
trade The condition of our own country,
especially where manufactures are e>tab-
lished in agricultural districts, is sufficient.
Theories that please the fancy of New 1urk
