Es,-The truth is that in the many years Of the
eoun,ry's prosperity under the high tariff laws,
the farming aud laboring classes have lost sight
Of the fact that the prosperity Of both Is almost
solely due TO the protection givea By the tariff
laws. Less than two years Of free trade or n
Tariff for Revenue Only would speedily con.
vince both these classes Of the folly Of free trade
and make them better pro,eetionis,s than are the
manufacturer. II it ever comes to free trade,
which i; speedily will with n Democratic Prc,i-
den, and Congress, the western farmers and
manufacturing laborCrs will speedily vote the
Democratic party out of power. Itmay need such a
lesson to make tho American people return to
their solid protective principles.
