DON'T QUOTE LOGAN.

The Elko Independent IN Its at
tempts TO bolster up the free trade
theory has the audacity to quote
the late John A. Logan as a Tree
trader.
Now this is manifestly an unfair
argument and to show Just the sort
of contempt entertained by General
Logan for free trade We quote from
his work.
"The Great Conspiracy" chapter
second il deve.ed wholly to protec-
ton and free trade and he argues at
great length to show that the first
attempt Of the South to SOW the
seeds of disunicn was in Jackson
Administration when they raised the
Qualification" cry and attempted
10 nullify the tariff acts, using this
.;mplv as a method OF exciting the
south to disunion and masking their
real purpose.
Gen. Jackson pointed out the
error of their ways and his message
urged them toretreatfrom their posi-
ton. On page 80 OF his WORK
Logan says Jackson knew that they

only seized upon the tariff laws as .
nretext with which to foster dis
union.

South in 1861 in mad attempt to
destroy the Union"
How the editor Of the Indepen-
dent can manage to get Logan down
asa Free-Trader in the face OF
such positive language as that is
past our comprehension.
In the same chapter. Logan gives
a history of the efforts on the
part of England to obtain loot
