What is free tradel In one sense it
is the raising of revenue to support the
General Government by direct taxa
ton. In anather sense, it is support-
ing the General Government partly by
tariff duties on tea, coffee, and others
articles not produced in this country,
repudiating all protection and encour-
agement of home productive industry
and labor. But this would not certain
ly be free troie, while foreign countries
levy tariff on our exports received by
them. Free trade cannot exist without
reciprocity between our country and The
foreign countries with which We trade
Our free trade politicians, in the inter
ests of foreign importers and producers
would have all tariff duties takei
off all foreign manufactured goods
while our goods taken abroad to tn
same countries were taxed by heav,
duties there. There cannot be fre
trade without reciprocity; SO that al
The defamation about free trade as &
our tariff system is mere bosh.

The new law forbidding the landing
OF Chinese laborers in this country has
had the effect of giving a new turn to
the smuggling business. The North

interesting traffic. It is said that some
