A Comparison.

Certain people, protectionists chiefly,
have taken particular pains to convey the
idea that the era of $4,000, when the
Walker tariff for revenue only was 10 force
was q period of great Distress period
fearful to contemplate. They do this
relying on the fact that three decades have
passed since then, and that perhaps ma
jority of the voters of today have no recv
objection of the then condition of things
/. was, however, In reality, the golden era
of our history, period of great activity In
all manner Of business, period OF devel'
opment and prosperity. A comparison
with the decades since shows that the de-
velopment of the country has never since
been more rapid or substantial. The fol-
lowing tabulated statement relating TO
manufactures during this decade of low
tariff as compared with subsequent de-
cades of high tariff will be interesting.
II shows the percentage OF increase in the
value of products, the capital invested,

The Closing Heat.

The postponed 2 IA trot, unfinished, was
decided In one heat, ut ne driving park,
on Saturday morning. The contestants,
Octavius, Brother Dan, Billy 5. and Belle s.
appeared In the best of condition, but the
driver Of Billy ). seemed to be under the
impression that II was necessary TO drive
ali the fire and enthusiasm out OF his horse,
In order that he might win % the race.
Brother Dan worked out with clean
stride, but Is was evident that Ben Walker
was unacquinted with his disposition.
The brown stallion, Octavius, sold for
SO and the field at "a, with plenty Of ia
kers on the favorite, and but scant dozen
buyers of the field. Judge Smith was ab,
sent, and Chss, Irion gave the word. The
horses started we'll punched. Brother Dan
crowding the stallion all the way around
the first half, but Walker was unable to
guage him to keep him on his feet, and
he broke badly when he passed the stand,
giving Octayius an undisputed place in the
heat. Octavius won; Dan second, Billy s,
third and Belle 8. fourth time 2:302.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-08-11

Here, agsin, it is to be observed that the
beggery aud ruin claimed by W. d. Kelly
and other protectionists Of the low tariff
period did not exist. The rate Of increase
In wealth was almost twice as great as un-
der the first protective period, and nearly
three times as great as under the second.
From 1850 to 1860, under low tariff, the
capital invested In manufactures increased
SO per cent, as against an increase Of 81 per
cent from 1860 10 1870, and GA per cent
from 1870 TO 1880.
Surely these figures, capable Of verifca
ton by an appeal TO the census returns OF
1850, tell story very different from that
usually rehesrsed by high tariff orators,
and they ought to give the advocates OF
reduced taxation the courage of their con-
victions. There was nothing In that era to
be ashamed of. The results were wholly
flattering to the wisdom Of the low tariff
men, a complete denial Of the claims Of the
high takers, q sweeping answer to all the
wild assertions Of the prOtectionists.
