FREE TRADE.
VIII you please define free trade. as the term is

NEW HARMONY, Ind. Feb. %.
''Free trade" in its literal sense means just
what the words imply viz free commerce be-
tween nations without any export or import
duties or other RESTRICT ons upon traffic. This
would imply the repeal of all tariff laws and the
abolition of custom houses. throwing the markets
of every country wide open to every other. This
would be absolute free trade. The phrase as
used in our politics is not supposed to 60 this
length 1t means an approach TO absolute tree
trade in contradistinction to the policy of pro-
tecting American industries by levyin import
duties on foreign manufactures.

'"Tne Boss Girl" It has been printed in the
Journal several times. 2. This is a matter of
individual opinion of judges who have heard
both singers; but, as a rule, those who heard
Jenny Lind refuse to admit that later singers
are worthy to be called her rivals. AS matter of
fact. it is probable that Jenny Linds voice had
greater natural power and compass, and that
PATHS is more highly cultivated, and in that
respect more ''artlstic."
