THE FREE.TRADE CRUSADE
What Is Likely to Happen in This Coun-
try in Case Ii Proves Successful.
A Revenue Tariffs Effects on Manufacturing
and Agricultural Interests-Cleveland's
Effort to Change the Line of Battle.

The present free-trsde crusade against all
the great industries of this country is ar
resting attention IN every quarter. Ii 10
the first time in our history that a great
political party, in its platform, has declared
that a protective tariff is ..unconstitu-
tional." Until now all parties had regarded
the work of Hamilton. and Washington.
and Madison, and Jefferson. and jackson
in behalf of protection constitutional, and
all had believed that the members of Con-
gress of 1859, who were fresh from the con-
vention which had framed the national
Constitution, and who enacted the first
protective tariff act. knew what they were
doing. To have this policy challenged
after three-quarters Of q century of prece-
dents may well arrest public attention.
With the press of Europe applsuding
this challenge, it is not TO be wondered at
that thinking people in this country are
amazed at the boldness of this remarkable
free-trade crusade. 1t IL now telegraphed
from New York that Mr.. Cleveland has
become alarmed at the effect of this raid
on our industries. and gives out word that
he will make himself q new platform o N
the tariff question. Since it 10 true that
he started this crusade himself, in his
famous message ~denounclng protection. it
will avail him nothing. Ii Will add to the
suspicion now prevailing. that IL Is bat an
attempt to gain power by deception. The
hero OF the crusade can scarcely become
the beneficiary of a movement OF deception.
His party mas spoken, no executives has
ever proven himself greater than his
party, and this feint at q change of front
In the battle will pro 20 no exception to the
disasters accompanying such move Dents.
The people desiring protection will prefer
to entrust power TO it's friends rather than
one who, by his party platform and by his
own acts ND to within fifty days before the
election. has denounced it.
The disaster that would overtake the
great industries of the country should the
crusade on them succeed is illustrated by
the following condensed summary:
ANNUAL AND CoNsUMP.
