bill protective measure and not free trade
measure aud 1 Democratic votes caused the de-
feat ol ih.s excellent protective measure, the Dem
ocratIc party has been committed by the action of
t>r,urc,cutatyes IN the House to the policy of
free trade. lie UorH, 10y a roundabout course of

fully concur: namely, that the Democratic party
is opposed 90 protection and in favor of free
trade. Now. nobody denies that the Republican
party is in favor of protection and opposed TO
free trade. Here, then. is a fundamental issue on
which the great political organizations are no"
dividing We shall b. glad to discuss that que,-
tuu. and agree I'm advance to publish The OOridS
first argument IN favor of free trade.
