Vermont Says mo Free TradA, y

While the free trade conyentbn
was in session at st. Louis. qs&pn
was polling the largest vote e|tl
known in the history of theStaie,
and the result was an emphaic ma
jority for protection. And new Yer
mont falls into line. This vas the
issue, as set forth in a circula OF the
State committee:
"National honor and independence
are at stake. Shall America b. Amer
lean or English is the pestion.
Shall the Republic be dependent or
independent? Shall there le home
or foreign rule? Shall the PRODUCTS
of labor, whether from the farm or
the factory, have market that will
pay the labOrer according to the
American standard under projection,
or the foreign standard under free
trade? Shall we listen to the hum
of industry or the moan of want /?
Shall we produce our own wool, cut
our own lumber, manufacture our
own iron and the products of iron.
quarry our own marble, granite and
slate, or shall we buy of the foreigner ?
In a word, shall we utilize our mex
haustible resources and be independ-
ent American freemen, or shall we
let the foreigner crush our industries
and then eXtort the prices which
cupidity dictates when the home
supply is destroyed? These are the
questions involved in the issue which
deluded President has forced upon
the American people. Upon such an
issue, so vital to national independ-
ence and individual prosperity, it is
not strange that Democrats. as well
as Republicans, should say, as in
1861, 1t is not party, but country it
is not politics, but patriotism
Upon this issue Vermont piles up
an unusually large majority and
shows that she. too, as we'll as Ore
gon, wishes the voters of the country
to know that she sees the si1ss-ss-es
ing danger of free trade and desires
to put herself on record at the start
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-09-15
Another Argument Against Free
Wool.

The following talk by Mr., Robert
Middleton, president of the Globe
Wooden Mills, Utica, N. Y, brings
out an important fact, and one gen.
orally overlooked in the discussion of
free wool:
1.-The practical operation of the
Mills bill at once places about one
fourth of the business of the Globe
mills upon an absolute free-trade
basis, Notwithstanding the assertion
that the Mills bill does not favor free
trade, 1t would stop our woOl.sort-
ing, washing, securing, picking, dve-
Ing, carding and combing for the
