make them again and meanwhile we would be OF
the mercy Of the foreign manufacturer.
But. says the Free Trader, as long as England can
produce rails cheaper than we can. let her people
produce them ard let our men who work at that
business do something else. Very well, what else
would YOU have them do? What industry is there
to-day that is lacking workmcn in this country
There is no lack Of farmers in the United States.
Indeed the market for the products Of the farm
has been actually glutted for the past few years
MORE INDUSTRIES NOT FEWER.
What we need in tie United States is not fewer
industries, but more industries. The calamity
walters constantly asserting that there are from
one TO five million people out of employment now
in this country. OF course the statement Is not
true yet there are large number Of people VINO
do not find constant employment. DO you not see
that every industry shut out of this country would
of necessity increase the number Of unemployed
people,
1 defy any one to show where the establish
ment of a new industry has taken from any other
industry enough men to cripple that industry.
The influx 10 this country OF foreign labor Is so
enormous that when one comes to add 10 IL
the constant growth of our own population ue
result is that laborers always abundant IN
the United States The great problem 10 be
solved is to find profitable employment for all
our people. To do this we should manufacture
all the goods we possibly can, grow all the prod
ucts of the farm we possibly can. produce all
the ores from our mines we possibly can, ana
furnish labor for Dur own people at the best
wages that possibly be paid
Do not forget this. Wages paid to our own
people remain here in our own country. An
article produced 10y our own citizens costs the
nation AS a nation, very little The same article
bought from any other country takes from our
nation the entire amount sent abroad for such an
article II then il be true that the system OF pro-
lection is the very best system for our entire
people, / submit TO Mr.. Campbell that he must
give his allegiance to any system which upol the
whole is best for all rather than consult what
NAV seem best for himself in some single instance
II may seem to him that he is compelled to pay
an extra price for some given article, but II IN
doing that his wages are kept at ~ high price
that he can afford TO pay that little difference
and still have large balance left for other uses
then it is surely much better for him. even look
ING NJ II from his own selfish point of view, 10 pay
the higher price and insure his own higher Wages
In closing this article ! desire to repeat again
that the Protective Tariff is always levied Tor the
benefit of the many, and not for the purpose Vi
aiding the few. A man, or q company OF Mcu
