FREE TRADE.
CONTINUED from third poOe.)

Mr.. WRtSOn-l am aGCacKlng III BS Sys-
tenn of collecting revenue, and II / can
show 1t to be- immoderatelY extravsgant,
then, IL there Is nothing to rest 1t upon or
70 justify it, 1t ought to go, and better
system be devised which would not en-
body the inequalities and the absurdlties
of the present one.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, come further to
discuss the principle Itself. What ls the
principle upon which tariff system is
based? shall be very brief about that
But there Is certainly some principle at
war here with some other principle. l
am arguing now, not against the system
az q tax system, but as if you had come
forward boldly and said that you devised
this system to build up your manufsctur-
ing industries In this country. Allow me
to say do not believe this great ques-
tlon could ever be settled by mere denun-
citation.
L do not believe system which. has
been advocated by statesmen In all coun-
tries of the world, from time to time, can
be denomlnated merely as a system Of
robbery.
/ do not believe that the statesmen
who have advocated this protective
principle were all plckpockets. Nor do
| believe that man who attacks this
system does 1t because of his knuckling
down to foreign influence, or because he
ig lacking in love for his own people or
for his own government. The system
which statesman like Sully inaugursted,
which statesman like Colbert improved
upon, a statesman like Calhoun at one
time advocated, and statesman like
Webster favored, must be founded on
some strong principle which can not
be destoysd by mere denunclation and
abuse.
Mr.. Hopklns,of Illlnols-Mr. Chairman,
will the gentleman allow just one word
further In the line of the questions put
by the gentleman from Maine Mr.. BOu-
tellelP
Mr.. Watson-Yes, cir.
Mr.. Hopkins, Of Illlnols-Now | want
the gentleman to state if 1t is fact that
these custom expenses that have been
noted by him would exist precisely the
same under the Democratic idea of a
tariff for revenue only, as under the Re-
publican doctrine OF protectlonF
Mr.. Watson-They most surely would.
You may scale the tariff schedules until
you get them down to merely nominal
point, but as long as you adhere TO the
principle Of tariff taxation, either for tax
or for protection, those evils are bound
to remain; and that is the reason why l
take issue with my Democratic friends
and say you ought to stand by your
logic and 60 where your logic carries
you. You ought not to ride your horse
In this magnificent steeplechase across
the country, using free trade whips at
every gallop you make, and the moment
you reach the wall, instead of lifting
your steed for the leap, turn him around
and walk him back to the stable door.
[Applause and laughter,
Mr.. Chairman, l say, as govern
mental principle, there must be two
sides to 1t, and great men, wise men and
honest men have sincerely fought upon
both sides. But contend that no Demo
crat can base himself on the protective
principle as a governmental principle

the place of the tariff taxation would
necessarily bring free trade.
Mr.. Chairman, we have an illustration
Of the working of these principles In
France. There Is where this modern
system first came into full play. The
church was under the protective prlnci-
pie; literature was under the protective
principle; trade was under the protective
principle; everywhere the crown inter
fered with the citizen. Everywhere
authority usurped that which should
have been left to the individual, and
they had In France just the very state Of
affairs which Is coming on very rapidly
In this country.
They had an impoverished agriculture;
they had depleted rural population;
they had men gathered together in the
towns; they had huge and greedy monop-
olies and concentration Of wealth and
political favor. Before the outbreak of
the Revolution, which shook the world,
the great statesmen, Necker and Turgot,
recommended to the king as remedies
for their Industrial trouble certain re-
forms. They went to the king and said:
abolish these monopolies; equalize this
taxation; give the people representation;
tell them how their money is spent, and
give them a chance to have that liberty
of action, political and commercial, which
alone can make a people great"
That moderate plea, Mr.. Chairman,
was thrust aside with scorn and con-
tempt, and, as we all know, a bloody
revolution settled questions which ought
to have been settled by peaceful re-
moval of the causes of the trouble.
l wish l had time to show how free
trade has acted in England; how it has
sent her bounding up the highway OF
progress. Her trade in 1916 was $780,
100000. Now it is $2,6lS,OOOOOO. No
matter how any man talks, 1t is neverthe-
less true. You may point to the labor
troubles in England, but we can trace
them to their land system and their
financial system.
wish to be understood to-day as say
ing this tariff system Is the very least Of
three great evils In this country. be-
lieve the transportation question Is big
ger; the financial question is bigger; but
this tariff question is big enough for the
most earnest discussion. would not
like, Mr.. Chairman, to take up much
time in talking about England, for when
q Georgia cracker from the country, like
myself, talks about free trade, he is al
once accused of knuckling down in some
mysterious way to the powor of Johr
Bull. In majority Of cases the accusa
tion comes with the greatest vehemence
from q man who dresses in English
goods, who parts his hair In the English
method and chops out his whiskers In
the middle as an English lord would do
Great laughter.
Mr.. johnson, of Ohio-Wlll the gentle
man yield to me for a question:
Mr.. Watson-Certainly.
Mr.. johnson, of Ohio-Dld the gentle

thought you did. Laughter.

where it has been long in vogue; how it
destroyed Spain, in spite of natural ad-
vantsges, an industrious population and
great seaports; how 1t was destroying
France until the revolution broke loose
the shackles which a protective system
had hound around her, and how In Great
Britain (the historians say had not the
corn laws been abolished, a revolution
would have occurred.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, will say hur-
riedly, that protectionists claim that
protection stimulates diversities of in
dustries. / admit that to be the fact.
The only question is, do you pay too
much for your stimulant? We say that
you do, and that you take other mems
money to pay for your beverage.
Their second plea is that it stimulates
competition within the wall until the
price Is lowered to the foreign level.
That Is surely true in many cases; but,
in the meantime the extra cost falls upon
the consumer; it is enormously heavy
and unjust; and you do not give him
any guarantee that, after the level is
reached, you will pull down the wall, or
that combine of the protected will not
be formed within the wall which will
control the price.
The third is, they say that it guaran-
tees good wages to the laborer, which
otherwise he would not get.
I have never seen that plea made good
anywhere, but, on the contrary, the high
est paid labor on this earth is the laborer
who works In those factories which are
perfectly free and compete with free
trade all around the world. l say here
today, that the lowest wages are paid in
the most highly protected industries;
the moderate wages are paid where a
moderate protection pertains, and the
highest wages are paid in the cotton
fields of the south, where we give 48 per
cent Of the product to the laborer who
produces it, and at the same time have to
compete with the 6 cent labor of the
Nile valley, and the 4 cent labor on the
Hindoo plains. They say 1t provides
home supply for home wants, and enriches
the nation as great family.
That Is true, but some one member of
the family absorbs too much from the
other and more numerous branches of
the family and makes it topheavy.
Laughter This very evil is most ap-
parent to-day. Now, Mr.. Chairman,
| hurry forward. l would like to show
that as q governmental principle, tariff
Is felt to be wrong because, as pointed out
by the gentleman from North Carolina
Mr.. Grady, they never have dared to
put protection as an avowed purpose In
the law, knowing that 1t could not run
the gauntlet Of the courts.
1t Is wrong because unconstitutional,
wrong because class legislation, wrong
because violatlve Of the natural liberty
and rights Of the citizen, wrong because
it takes private property for public pur-
poses (even admitting that it is taken for
public purposes) and gives the citizen no
direct compensation, which the conStitu-
tlon says he must have. Nowhere In
law, nowhere in ethics have you got a
right to take dollar directly out of my
pocket, appropriate 1t to public purposes
and say that must take my reward as a
mere incident to being citizen of that
community.
The advocate., 1892-06-22

Now, whyg We of the Jefferson
school gentlemen, while my party
affiliations are different flom yours to-day,
| say here what have said everywhere,
that there Is no better Democrat upon
this floor than am, but l am a Demo
crat who believes that the principles OF
Democracy ought to be re asserted; that
the principles Of the Jefferson school
are more valuable to us than any mere
name--I say no Democrat can defend the
principle of protection for this reason.
Il is the old protective idea which We
fought when it laid It's hand upon litera-
ture, when 1t laid its hand upon religion,
when It laid Its hand upon vocstiOns of
men.
We said to the state: "You have got
no right to decide what we shall write,
or how we shall be rewarded for it, and
you shall put no embargo upon our free
dom of speech"
We said to the nation: "You shall not
choose our business for US. You shall
not say that because | am soldier l
shall always be q soldier, or that my
children shall be soldiers; that because
l am q merchant and belong to that
guild, that I shall always belong to that
guild"
We said that such a doctrine would
lead us back to the old caste system of
the ancient countries, where those prin-
ciples have destroyed the greatest ma
tions of antiquity. The interference
with the free action of the citizen always
resulted In q centralized government, in
a monopoly Of riches, In the concentra-
tion of capital, Of privilege and Of power,
which destroyed those countries.
We say, Mr.. Chairman, that it has got
no place In religion; that the state has
got no right to prescribe the religion or
forms Of worship. That every citizen
shall be left without this interference of
the protective principle to worship God
as he chooses.
1t is the same as to .rade. We say it
is natural right to trade; without ma
terlal restriction, to interchange with a
neighbor or a stranger, with fellow
patriot or a foreigner; that 1t 10 the
natural right of the citizer to perfect the
exchanges Of his commodity for another
mans commodity without any unreason-
able favoritism given to one man over
another, and without unreasonable inter
ference with the natural right of inter
change; and thus we say, Mr.. Chairman,
that the principle Of protection, which
has destroyed so many nations, which
we founded this government to escape
when applied to trade, is no less full ol
the old dangers; no less leads to the old
dangers, and has already led to the old
dangers. Inc only way TO escape lte
peril is to retrsce our steps, unfstter the
hands Of men, unshaCkle the exchanges
Of producers and let every man exchange
his commodities with his fellow men
upon the terms which his own good iudg'
ment dictates.
