A RIT OF A DISCUSSION.

The other day we exposed the tallacy
of Protection by answering Emery, OF
the Pennington Medic tied Press, who
compared the Protective policy to the
tolls on the West St. Paul bridge. The
result was, Emery grows spiteful, and
tries hard to get out of the logical di-
lemma in which he finds himself.
He says:
The reader will observe that at the very
outset Donnelly is up tC his old tricks and
has misrepresented our position ne amrl1s 1s
that our policy would Compel farmers to
<'pay two prices tor their goods IN Dakota
county.
Now, Emery, what was the toll on
the West St. Paul bridge but bonus
in favor of the Dakota county mer-
chants The farmer could trade with
St. Paul or Pennington, but if ne
traded withEt. Paul he had to pay the
toll. and this had to be deducted from
the value Of everything he
sold in St. Paul. or to be
added to the price of everything
.he bought there. In the same way
the High Tariff. The farmer
could deal with old England or with
New England, but if he dealt with the
former he was obliged to pay the
tariff bonus; aud this is what consti
tutes the "Pretection' of New Eng
land Your argument was that IL
principle the toll bridge and the High
Tariff were inentical. Hence, if lit
tie toll was good, big toll would bt
better and hence We we're justified II
saying that your theory meant paying
two prices for goods in Pennington in
stead of one price in St. Paul.
Then Emery says:
Yes, the comparison is a good one. Fo
as it is clear that free trade helps ST. Paul
and St. Paul only, so 'sree bridge to hu
rope helps Europe and impoverishes ou
home business, leaving our money IN Tor
eign country, and destroying the home mar
ket.
Now Why does free trade help St
Paul! Because she sells cheaply
Who gets the benefit Of this fact I! Th
farmers .cf Dakota county. Wha
then do you propose To not let then
have cheap goods, to stop the growt
of St. Paul, and impoverish the farm
ers? And this is Protection. An
why To,build up Fasnington-ths
is,--New England.
This, then, is your argument to til
farmer
/. You car buy sl0owsrth of gooe
in ST. Paul for 500.
.. You mus not deal with St. Pau
but with us. We will sell you SIC
worth Of goodssor $50.
5. This will leave you $50 poor
and US S50richer.
4. And when we get very rlah. by
series of such trades, in some -mysr'
rious and inexplieable way, you "
get all that money back again, and '
will continue rs rich as ever.
But says our Medica.ed friend:
For every dollar SO al leo 10 the AlE -

And now Darius H. Pingrey tells US
that the enactment of the Reciprocity
Treaty would reduce the price Of oats
II cents; barley and rye 16 II, &C.,
&c. Where will it make this reduction! !
In Chicago. St. Paul, st. Louis, New
York, New Orleans, or Afghanistan!
And if the Canadians don't have to
paw duties on their exports won't they
simply put the difference into their own
pockets, and won't they be thereby
better prepared to buy our manufact-
ures in return for their farm produce;
and If our manufactures are thereby
enriched wont they be better prepared
to buy from us what zoe have to sell !
In short, which is best, isolation or
commercial intercoursei China repre-
sents the first England the last.
Which is the most prosperous country
In other words, which is best. free trade
or hampered trade, or no trade !!
Which is most profitable,-liberty or
slaveryl We have tried commercial
slavery for fifteen years. What are the
results! Factories stopped, blast fur
naces blown out, the operatives starv-
ing, the miners organized into bands OF
murderous molly Maguires, emf
grafton turned back from our shores,
and everything going to rack. ruin and
destruction. And now Pingrey says,
take q hair Of the dog that bit you-
Keep out commerce. Build Chinese
wall along our Canadian line.

MORE NONSENSE.

One Mr.. Darius 81. Pingrey writes q
letter to the Farmers Union against
the Reciprocity Treaty, and in it he
says:
By removing these duties the American
farmer wonld have to lower the price OF his
II cents; barley and rye, 16K cents Indian
corn, II cents; peas and beans, IL cents !;
potatoes 27H cents; on flour 20 per cent :,
and on corn meal, 10 per cent.
Think of the absurdity of this! Our
wheat sells in Minnesota for the price
it is worth in Liverpool, less transpor-
tation thither and commissions, and
vet we are told that If we let in Cana
dian wheat free we will have to sell cur
wheat for % cents per bushel less than
the market price.
Here are the present figures:
Price of a bushel of No. wheat in Liv
erpOOl .... $500 .oe
Ocean freight, commissions, &c. ....... q
Price OF No. wheat in New York 49,. liz
Freight from Chicago to New York q Q.
Commissions, &c. .... ~
Balance O
Price il Chicago -. o oSh cts
Now if we admit Canadian wheat
free, what is to still prevent our wheat
going to Liverpool; and what is t.
prevent US from getting the Liverpoo
price, less transportation, commissions
&C., And if so, how can the price Q
our wheat be reduced % cts. pc
bushel !!
The other articles named by Nh
Pingrey are all governed by the de
mand in the local markets, and the.
will not bear transportation for an
great distance. The idea that tn
price of potatoes in the St. Louis maj
ket will be Influenced by the imports

preposterous. In our own market ou

Senator Thurman on the Situat ton.

A reporter of the New York Tribune
sends that paper the following state
ment of the political views of Senator
Thurman, expressed at Washington on
the goth ult.:
Abiding to the coming political con-
test in Ohio, Judge Thurman had but
one opinion, and that was that the
State would be carried by the Demo-
Gratis by handsome majority. In re-
ference to the next Congress, it was
hard to arrive at definite conclusion.
This much was certain: The Radicals
were moving every power and making
the strongest fight possible to secure
the Lower House of the National Leg
islature, well knowing, as they do,
that the independent candidates and
political movements springing up all
over the country may possibly result in
throwing the question of the next Pres
idency 10 the House of Representatives,
for that body to decide. In reference
to the prospects of a third party move
ment, there were no sure conclusions
to be arrived at, as it was impossible
to tell what the great issues in the
West, the Granger movements, etc.,
may result in.
In reference to the subject of Pres
ideutial third term for General Grant,
Judge Thurman believed that General
Grant was a candidate for another
term. He was. working for the nomi-
nation at the hands of the Republican
party. The Senator remarked that he
had been told within a few days, and
it had been told to others beside him,
by an intimate friend of President
Grant, that the latter had said that he
had no idea of again running for the
Presidency. The Senator thought diff
ferently, however, and in a speech Of
his at Columbus some time ago, no had
asserted that it was Grants intention
to be candidate for third term, and
he reiterated it since, and had never
seen anything to convince him, that the
prediction was incorrect. On the con-
trary, the friends of General Grant
were working strenuously to secure
the nomination for him again; and he
had never interposed any objection to
their efforts in that direction. The ST.
lence of General Grant in this matter,
foreshadowed beyond doubt his will.
lingness to stand before the people
again for the third time as candida to.
If he did not desire the nomination
again why did he not come out and de-
clare bis unwillingness to serve third
term, put q stop to the efforts of his
Radical friends and silence the agita
ton of this third term movement +
Mr.. Thurman's reply to the question
as to his opinion of Vice-President
Wilson's statement, that Gen. Grant
was not candidate for third term,
was that it looked as if Wilson feared
very much he might be candidate fol
a third term.
