The leaders in it are mostly mon who

The Tariff Issue.

That the present Tariff needs some recilica-
ton in its details, both in decreae and increase
we agree; that the day may come when we
shall want free trade, may be; but in the mean
time Protection is the great necessity of our de-
Velopment and prosperity, and but the
friends of the principles and policy of Protec-
ton should be allowed to touch our Tariff
[Rchmond, Va, Wing.
That is the tariff question in a nut she'll and
it is also a correct presentation of the Republic
can policy regarding it. None should be de
ceived by the subterfuge of the free traders and
advocates of the Morrison bill in styling them
selves revenue reformers. The supporters of
this measure have endorsed the present tariff
in principle by bringing forward plan for hor-
izontal reduction, instead of such a revision as
is really needed The proposed twenty per
cent. reduction will in the opinion of experts
cause no reduction in the revenues. 1t will
simply stimulate imports, thus decreasing the
market for home productions and putting more
money into the pockets of foreign manufacture
ers and of their agents in this country. This
means less work and lower wages for Ameri-
can operatives. 1T may be well to remember"
said Senator Morrill, of Vermont in recent
mess of New York is carried on by foreigners.

further shows that these men IN Ike fortunes in

derNaluation of imported merchandise when

flIA Il a..

free-trade tracts. Whether by regular orders
or by system of consignments They etfpcLutlly
control the bulk of the trade, and native Amer
lean merchants find il impossible to compete

of New orlI with their revenue-reform clubs,
their dependent newspapers, and their great
wealth assume to reyolutionize the industrial
policy of the nation and make it >ubscrvcnt to
their exclusive ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. This may find
a responsive echo in Kentucky, but it will not
among the WorkingmGn of New York citv,
much less of the Empire State Nor will it
find responsive echo in Maine. or elsewhere
among American Workingmen. The tariff issue
to-day is between these alien importers On the
one mana ana the manufacturers, operatives
and farmers Of this country on the other hand.
The farmers are interested because their best
market the home market, is built up by The
growth and prosperity of manufacturing enter
pri>rs. Adam smith, in his Wealth of Nations,
declares that. "Whateyer besides tend, to dim
