That is TO be the effect of it,
1t is not worth while to stand upon nice def
hitlons as 10 free trade. Some think it enough
to say that they are 10. free traders because
they are not in favor OF abolishing all customs
duties. Let me remind such that the free-trade
countries of Europe, recognized to be such, have
not abolished all customs duties. 4 better dis
tinction is this: Thu free-trader believes in
leyyiug customs duties without any regard the
erect OF those duties tupon the wages OF our
working people CT upon the production Of our
own shops. This then, is the issue. Take il to

assail our protective system whether they 60

whett g. this cheapenin2 of prices. which they
seem to regard as the highest attainment OF

whether it will not involve if we are to have

certain that wages must be egualize1 in chose
