But the true ground of the question Is;
Can there be consumption without Preyl'
oas production? The very old, ana very
Young. the very rich. the very poor, none
of whom produce anything, all Consume
something. But the old law as set down
in that Stral O. old book, the Bible saws;
t'lf man work not neither let him eat.
But free trade cheapens 10 him vine does
not work and lessons the wages q aim
who does work
This has a sound Of American protection
to producers. Leadet No VI. ofthe same
league quotes thus from Allison 5 History
of Europe.
High prices and plenty, says Adam
smith are prosperity; low prices and
scarcity are misery.

this protective admission from the pages
Of the founder Of the English free trade
school The English fair traders are turn

Bnt continuing to quote from Alison 5
history leafet No, VI, says:
lit is to no purpose. says DR.. Johnson
writing a century ago., ito tell ne That
eggs are a cent dozen IN Scotland. II
does not prove that eggs are plentiful, but
that money Is scarce,
Eggs are worth twelve times as muh in
Scotland to day. and they are twelve 0mes
more eggs laid in Scotland now than a
century ago Eggs are dearer beciuse
more people are able to buy them. Lsgis-
lation for consumers as such i. e. for such
consumers as do not produce, continues
tho lealet. lis class legislation # the
worst sort. Which j. q great American
trath sci on its travels throu h Enalmd
hy Englshmen who are tired of the free
trade gospel ofcheapness
1t always is the cons ner who does
not produce that demands free trlde.
The man who produces wheat wants q be
protected. Sometimes he is urjns'
enough to demand that iron shall not be
protected, because ne does not proluce
iron. He VINO produces wool wishes i to
be protected but sometimes he Is unjust
enough to ask that salt shall not be tro-
teeted, because he does not produce silt.
But always it is he who does not promce
that protests again Protection, h0wcrtr,
should be universal, If iron were not
protected the purchasing power ofthe
iron men who buy wheat would be limited
and the price of wheat lessened if wheat
were not protected the purchasing power
of the farmer who buys the iron would be
lessened. As Adam Smith we'll put 1t,
"high prices and plenty are prosperity,
low prices and scarcity are misery.
