Questions for Free Traders.

If the Free Trade Tariff of 1916
was the best Tariff our country
has had, why was it necessary,
during the period that this meas.
ure was in force, to open soup
houses for the relief of the poor in
every ward in New York City?
If the object OF Free. Trade is
to increase importations, and so
says Senator Mills, how are the
workingmen in American fact.
cries going to be benefited by it?
fit is a proper course for a
city like Birmingham, Alabama,
to raise a fund of 100000 in order
to induce a cotton mill to estab.
lish itself at that place, is it not
inconsistent for the same city to
oppose Protection, which alone
makes the establishment of such
mills possible?
Was Abraham Lincoln a thief
when he signed the Morrill, Tariff
bill?
1t is not strange that England,
a country that never yet has lost
an opportunity to slight our citi.
zens or attempted to bully our
government. should desire us to
adopt Free Trade merely because
we are not prospecting as fast as
our British cousins would like
to see us prosper, although we
have already beaten them in all
their most cherished fields of in.

Can the Free Traders pose as
patriots when their ticket is com.
posed of two men, both of whom
hired substitutes, and one of
whom stumped his State to show
that Lincoln was a fraud and the
war a failure?
If the Mills bills was a farmers
measure, why did it abolish or
greatly reduce the duties on
nearly all the farmers products,
in the face of protests and peti.
ii Ons from agricultural societies
all over the Union?
If reciprocity is a step Gin the
direction of Free. Trade, how can
it also be a "scheme to untax for.
