FREE TRADE HIGH TARIFF.

The important issue in American pol
;tics to-day is between "lligh Protective
q Tariff" on the one hand, and II lighter
tariff for revenue purposes on y, OH the
other On this issue will turn the cleo
tisns next fall, and the result will be to
shape the policy of the Government on
this question, in accordance with the
wishes Of a majority of the people as
expressed at the ballot box.
q Careful consideration Of all the phases
of this Ques ion, views OF It's different
sides have brought US to the conviction
TINT tie present system of hish protec>
tive tariffs is in many respects lauity,
and gross justice in many instances re-
suit from it to the country generally, ana
to the Western and middle States in par
tlonar, Reliable statistics show US that the
arlfimposcd on many articles Is so high MS
to prevent their importation from abroad,
aud secure 10 manufacturers OF the ar
tcles in this country, complete monop>
olies, by which advantages said mann>
facturer, are enabled to demand what
ever prices they see proper, ana thus
compel the people to pay to them annu'
ally millions Of dollars more than what
would be fair remuneration for their la
Dor and legitimate interest on the caps
ital invested. The tariff on these articles
being 80 high as to ne practically pro-
hibltory, every one must see ut glance,
Yields no revenue to the Government,
which, OF itself, is an unanswerable argu
ment in favor OF reduction. a..
We have no intention to 90 into elabo-
rate discussion of this question at this
time, and have said thus much solely for
the purpose of announcing our position,
which may be briefly stated as follows
We believe it is bad policy for the Gov-
eminent, and unjust to the people to I'M
pose tariffs upon tho importation of ar,
ticcs so high as to make it impossible to
import them without financial loss, there.
bydeprying the Government of revenue,
preventing competition in trade, and al>
lowing manufacturers and capitalists to
demand and secur, moro than fair com
p,osation for their labor and money, at
expense of the people. The truc idea of
tariff is to secure revenue for the Cows
ernment, and to enable home manufas>
turers to compete with foreign. To this
extent we favor 1t, but when it reaches
beyond this it, as it does in many in
stances under the present tariff laws, it
becomes a fraud upon the country and
burden upon the people, and in this de-
gree we oppose it. .... ...r
