The truth is, tariff is no longer
measure TO be advocated or opposed
by either of the great parties as a
whole. 1t has for many years been
local question, as Hancock said when
lie was candidate.
A few years more and the South,
which has heretofore, by its united
influence, caused the Democratic
party ia hoist the Free Trade banner

its demand for protection. The South.
ern people have begun to look to manu-.

even now, in many sections where
manufactures have been established,
The inhabitants find that it Is 10 their
interestto have their work protected,
and conseq uently have arrived at the
conclusion that protection is what the
whole Nation wants.
The agricultural communities will
be in favor of free trade so long as
producers outnumber manufacturers
but no longer, and the entire subject
Is reduced to the quesion,as to whether

interests Of the United States are the
