FREE TRADE vs.. PROTECTION.

: We end in. the Chicago Tribune Of the
18th an article from Fred b. Ward, a
young farmer, of Henry county, upon the
subject of our tariff legislation, which will
be read with interest, and which is peeul-
iarly appropriate at this time, as we are
soon to select candidates for Congress who
must pass upon this question, and whose
opinions should be known before they are
elected.
Mr.. Ward takes the solid and unanswer-
able old Democratic ground that a tariff
levied with view to favor any interest in
in the country at the expense Of other In
terests is unconstitutional that a tariff
can not be constitutionally enacted for any
purpose but revenue; that in fixing the
sum Of duties to be collected it must be
fixed solely with reference to the amount
Of revenue it will raise-at a figure at
which the greatest amount Of revenue will
be produced, and with reference to that
alone. That is what is called Free Trade,
leaving trade as free and untrammeled
as possible and raise the necessary reve-
nue.. That is all Free Traders mean by
Free Trade-and that is the only sound
doctrine on the subject of tariff Let the
farmers Of this District look to that mat
ter when they elect their candidates for
Congress 10 this District. And also to Sc
curing a candidate who is not In favor Of
of repudiating the pledged honor of the
country, and impairing the obligation Of
contracts by watering the currency and
paving the way for general Reputation.
