Free Trade and Tariff Talk.

Editors 7ri5me.-Thc question of
'free trade and tariff" now coming
up, as fit subjects of political discus
sion is not strange, since upon mat
tiers of political economy so little is
understood, there will be held er-
roneous views detrimental to the
truth of an argument. But thinking
men must bestir themselves, and en-
deavor to set the people Alright on
these subjects.
Free trade, and tariff, are separate
and distinct propositions. Absolute
free trade implies the extinction of
teriff and the freedom of intercourse
with foreign nations for the ex-
change of products, involving the
support of government by resort to
direct taxation; such as our present
internal revenue taxes on spirits, to-
bacco, cotton, matches, and other
home products of our fields and fac
tories. Because this state of things
exist at present, and has become so
burdensome to the industrial classes,
to our manufacturing and enterpr1s-
ing people, politicians of certain
stripe, endeavor to persuade us, that
it is possible to contriye a tariff,
which will produce the country all
the revenue it needs to pay the IN
terest on the National debt, and
meet the current expenses of the
Fedral Government, without It's cost
ing the people of this country much,
if anything; and without interfear-
ing in any way with free trade, "
They would take the tariff off Of ar
ticles which we can produce, so as
to let foreign goods of the same sort
come into the country on the same
footing as our own; while they would
raise all the revenue, by laying a
tariff on such articles as we cannot
produce, tea, coffee, and the like.
This would be tariff of the worst
kind, and the very opposite of "free
trade" for it is plain, it would add
to the expenses of living, while at
the same time, reduce the wages of
the working and manufacturing
classes; reducing their ability to pur-
chase the products of the farm, as
has been the case in Ireland since
England established free trade by
act of Pertinent to the utter ruina-
ton of Irelands domestic industries
by the continual inundation of Eng
lands competition in her markets.
Excessive foreign competition has
produced in Ireland the total wreck
of all her once prosperous industries.
First, an enforced reduction of all
wages. Next, the almost total alb
sence of employment for labor.
Home development died out. Home
rivalry ceased, till she is now crying
out from the depths of her degrade
ton to be permitted to till the soil
for precarious existence. Hence
the Democratic hybrid of Free trade,
and Tariff for revenue is monster
of the worst elements, begotten to
destroy our industries, and crush all
national enterprise among our people
Let the American politician pause
upon the consideration, whether the
American people can afford them
selves to be ruined by admitting all
foreign manufactures into then
country cheaper than their own, free
of duty.
But l know, that no Irish.
American can consistently stand on
a Free trade platform, well knowing
it to be a pernicious doctrine, and a
deadly political "upas" on Ireland's
industry. &c.
