TO call such a system the "American

America prior to 1861 knew no such
System" Then our ships covered
every sea; the white sails of our
commerce gladdened every ocean;
the wings of trade were unfettered,
infusing life and energy everywhere.
Wealth was more evenly distributed;
the poor mans necessities were
cheaper. The voices of 10000
American seamen, spread the glad
tidings of this western land of liber
ty,inevery port throughout the earth.
Proud Albion herself had to look
well to her laurels on the ocean, in
order to hold her supremacy against
the young giant of the Western
world. To-day our shipping is de.
troyed; the American seaman has
passed into history; the stars and
stripes have disappeared from the
ocean; our navy is composed of few
rotten hulks, Notwithstanding the
millions expended on it. A hundred
and twenty millions is wrung from
our agricultural industries annually
to enrich the foreign carriers. No,
none of our prosperity comes from
high tariff, it exists in spite Of it,
Our country is large, land is cheap
and productive and yields nine
tenths of our commerce and yet pays
a tribute to the pauper industries,
which acknowledge that they could
not exist without protection; without
being carried by agriculture. But
the claim that revenue tariff would
destroy our manufacturing industry
Is falacious. Why was it not de-

then bore greater ratio to agricul-

compared with those of England,
were higher than they are now
Pennsylvania then, as now, was the
great iron producing State; the
looms of Massachusetts, were noted |
then as now; but there were less
men in America who counted the |
wealth wrung from labor by the
millions, whose families spent their
time travelling and revealing in the |
corrupt capitals of Europe; there
was less dissipation; no Credit-Mo-

Whisky Rings; more morality; clos
