Here we have admitted, first, that the
efforts of the free traders are to bring
labor here to the European level That
means the reduction of our wages rate
TO one-half what is now paid. That
wages are higher here is admitted in the
fourth item.
Second, that the free trade leaders are
determined to exterminate our indus
tries-to make US mere producers of raw
material, and allow Europe to do our
manufacturing.
Third, that protection cheapens goods,
in the fifth item; and that clothing and
household goods are as cheap here as
abroad, in the sixth. Both these have
been denied constantly by the more
reckless free trade agitators.
Fourth, that the home market is the
one really valuable to the farmers-a
thing that has been bitterly denied in the
past by the free traders, and which is now
denied by unscrupulous demagogues all
over the west.
The Press deserves the thanks of the in
telligent portion of the American people
for its collation. of their free trade admis-
sions. They destroy the entire fabric of
free trade pretensions by overthrowing its
foundations Toledo, O., Blade.
