The above figures show that from 1850
to 1860. under the Democratic tariff of
'46 healthy and wholesoms Increase
and progress occurred In mannfaetur..
ing. The capital was more than doubled,
the wages nearly doubled and the pro-
duction nearly doubled. But examine
the figures and note the slight advance
since 1870 under Republican "prOtee-
ton" 'H'i s'7j-'''- 7r'r1o 7aI u.'
Did this writer ever hear that, under
the tariff Of '46 American shipping touk
the lead of all nations? That our COM
! merclal marine was equal to, OF exceed
I ed that of Great Britain? b. Did he ever
hear that then our ships were built at
homer That over fOur-f1fths Of our ex-
ports and imports were carried In Amer
lean ships? Has he consulted the late
report Of the United States Treasury de-.
partment wherein 1t shows that 81 per
cent. of our exports and imports last
year, were carried In foreign ships and
only IS per cent, In American shlDs2 49,
We submit the foregoing as a. Bit Of
contrast between just Democratic rule
and unjust Republican projection" !"
These republican twaddlers should real
ly learn a little of the history Of their
own country before they attempt to
write vOIuminOusly thereon. .....
His stuff about 1874 and the tariff Of
1942 Is an old tale, bat equally unfOund-
ed. Such writer's as he of this Tribune
never forget anything and never learn
anything. Facts they do not care to
deal with. The Tribune writer says
"The reduction of the tariff on wool was
drought about by mistake, etc, ,''-.%and
mo pains taken to correct It till too
"late," "a mistake"I ARep9blicaa Con
gress make "a mistake, and reduce, the
tariff on woOn And no opains taken to
correct 1t till too Iate"I Why, this wri-
ter Is bigger noodle even than the Re
positOry tariff serIbblers.ai 4n5~iist8 b
They made no mistake astO raising
the tariff on wOolen goods. They took
good care on this point And f'the. re-
dnctiOn of the tariff on wool" give the
wooden manufacturers cheaper wool.
No mistake" in this, either. These Re-
publlcans never make "a mistake"
against monopoly, however they "nIs-
take" and rob the people. ,....s.. ,t..,,,.i
The Tribune says, "Fhe tariff as 1t
stands is protection all the way through;
intended as such; supported as such by.
the Republicans generally, and opposed
generally by the Democrats because it
Is protection. Nothing is more. sure
than that the Democratic, partyis nOtia
protection party on wool OF anything
else" as.i t,ist ..stlq.f ts if..s.f s5.i i
The Democratic party is for justice
and equal taxation. "The tariff as 1t
stands is prOtection;" that is, the gov
ernment taxes the people to beneft pri-
vate parties, and not for revenue.
The Democratic party wants the wool
grower to have equal .fay0fs with the
woOllen manufactures. Is not the wool
grower as much entitled to ,"prOtee-
tiOn2" Why should wOOIlen goods be
protected to the extent OF gOper cent. and
wool only get SO2 will some Republi-
can farmer explain2 ~ b. aa4.--,.s r ,a 3.
The trouble is, the Republican, policy
aims TO establish monopoly to favor
certain industries at the eexpenselof 9TH
