There is an extremely narrow view en-
tertained by some people in regard to the
tariff as political tenet. Some of our
free trade friends profess to entertain the
opinion that people favor a tariff simply
because by virtue Of it they are enabled
to extort from consumers for their own
benefit the whole or portion of the gov
ernment duty. While it is reasonable to
believe that there is selfishness among
manufacturer as well as other people, we
believe as class they are a. anxious for
the good of the people and the country
at large as any other class of citizens of
our goodly country and do as much for
their well being. But, those believing in
the protective principle are by no means
confined TO any one class. The great
body Of the people belonging to the Re-
publican party, believe in protection be-
cause they are convinced by the remark
able growth of our industries and bus
mess during the past twenty five years,
that it Is the true theory for Americans
and they desire to see it continued. Not
that they are not in favor of tariff reform
but they do not want it reformed by set
of men who believe In the theory of free
trade and who give every evidence of en-
Wy and hatred to the great industries of
the northern states, particularly.
