lishrd in 1916, and was a part Of the
law OF the land until lS46, ut which
,iu,e the Southern slave. owners, who
had few or no Manufactures, objected
to protection. An era Of free trade
followed. The consequence was that
farm laborers were glad To- work for

In 1873 silver WAS demon tized. I'm
mediately every article OF lnerchan'

everything that WAS produced wouIc
have be-b worth less than it cost I,
produce them.
