EVERY GOVERNMENT FOR IT'S OWN
Il

There is scriptural authority for the state
ment that eff any provide not for his own,
and specis y for those of his own house,
he hath denied the faith and is worse than
an infdel." If this is true as to individuals
1t Is equally so as to governments. 1t is
the duty Of every government to shape its
laws and policies with a view to promoting
the interests OF its own people. To para
phrase the scriptural quotation. if any gov
eminent provide not for those of its own
than an infdel. All European governments
frame their tariff laws with sole reference
to promoting the interests of their own
people at the expense, if need be, of all
others. France does not legislate for the
interests of England, nor England for those
of Germany. nor any Of them for the inter-
ests of the United States. Why, then,
should this country yield a single point in
its tariff legislation to any other? Why
should the American Congress legislate to
cripple American industries and build up
foreign ones? Why should we adopt free
trade because England, cur greatest COM
mercial rival. wants us to? On this point
the Journal heartily concurs with the fol-
lowing extract from a speech delivered by
Senator VOORHEES, at the opening of the in
dustrial fair at Atlanta, Ca, on Oct. 5. 1881.
Mr.. Voorhees, said:
Freedom of trade has a seductive sound,
but IL 1t be not reciprocal and Of equal
advantage among nations II is attractive
only In sound and nothing more. The pol
icy or wise government Is necessarily one
OF se~lf-interest, and 1t has a trust to per-
form in the care of it's own people before
carrying out benevolences to others.
The policy of free and unrestricted ex-
commercial countries has, for the last fifty
years especially, been the theme of eulogy
on the part Of British writers and states
policy was never advanced on the part OF
Great Britain, until by hundreds of years
legislation she had 50 fostered and built
up her home industries and at the same
time ch~eapened the wages of labor that
was no longer feared. The student of his
tory has but a short distance to go in the
past IN order to find English laws demand
ing the barbarous penalties of death and
mutilation against the importation and ex-
portation of certain agricultural productions.
Such absolute excluslveness in trade as the
comparatively recent history of England
presents can hardly be found in any other
country outside of China.
This recognizes the scriptural duty of ev-
cry government to look out for it's own.
The policy of a wise government" said
the Indiana Senator. "is necessarily one of
self-interest, and il has a trust to perform
in the care of it's own people before carry
ing out benevolences to Others" That was
h Senator Voorhees, thought thirteen
years ago, but now his mind is on other
trusts. The fact that he is now trying to
legislate in the interests of Great Britain
does not lessen the truth of the foregoing
statement. 1t is as much the duty of Con-
gress to legislate exclusively for American
interests now as 1t was in 1881, and it should.
never legislate any other way.
