The Third District Harrison and Reid
Club listened to an instructive and fOrcible
address by its President VIM. j. Jones
Esqr., in Maxwell's Hall on Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Jones showed how the prin.
cple of protection had been recognized by
the founders of our Government as the
sential basis of our industrial! prosperity,
and their first legislative act the laying of
imposts upon foreign merchandise. He
showed forcibIy By faimi,i,lar illustrations,
why the tariff is not an additional tax upon
the consumer as persistently claimed
By free traders, and from carefully prepared
data proved, how the long list of domes.
tic commodities had been cheapened in
price by reason of the tariff. He showed
futher, why a (low) tariff for revenue only
was really tax upon the consumer,
because it did not sufficiently protect the
American manufacturer as to .beget compe
tition and therefore lower prices. He closed
his speech by a review of the period of wi Id
cat State Banks, and denounced the rob.
berry practiced under that system upon the
laboring man by INSCRIPTIONS employers,
who bought up uncurrent Stats Bank Notes
at a big discount, and paid them to their
employees at par Mr.. Jones was listened
to with the closest attention by his audience
