At various times farmers have
tried to hold their wheat or corn,
thus making an artificial shortage.
But the middleman knew almost
to a bushel the visible supply of
the world in grain, and, though
prices might go up little under
the manipulation, wheat and corn
kept going down in the end. The
temptation, when prices rallied be-
cause farmers threatened to sell
their crops, proved too great for
some of them and they went into
the market and sold, and the CON-
pact was broken almost in the be-
ginning. The cotton planters may
expect the same experience. Some
of them will sell when prices 60
up, agreement or no agreement. -

The wild Cry for Free Trade.
IN. O. Picayune.l

IN. O. Picayune.I
The clamorers for free trade, who
are denouncing all who do not agree
with them and are seeking to make
their extreme doctrine the test of
Democracy should remember that
free trade was never in any period,
a fundamental principle of the DEM
ocratic party. 1t was held only by
a Southern school of extremists.
It has always been demanded by
the Democrats that whatever the
means adopted to raise a revenue
for the needs of the Government
it should impose as small burden
as possible upon the people, and no
method has been found SO conven-
lent or efficacious for paying the
expenses of the nation as by the
Ievying of a tax on imported goods.
It is not paid in lump sum like
taxes on land and property, but is
rendered to the Government little
by little in certain articles of con-
sumption as they are consumed.
In this way the people who pay it
do not feel the burden as they would
if the tax were laid directly upon
the products of labor, aud had to
be paid in bulk, as in the case OF
State and city taxes.
The fact remains that the people
of the United States are required
to pay to the Federal Government
an annual tax of nearly $500, 600, 600.
Laid upon imported goods, the PEG
pie who consume them hardly
know that they are paying such an
enormous tax, but when they come
to settle their State and city taxes,
! they know well enough when that

in the end, they are all loaded on
the working people, who finally
pay them. It therefore makes no
difference in the final result wheth-
or we have free trade ora tariff.
Taxes have got to be raised, and
the masses of the people have got
to pay them. If only some way
could be found to run the Govern
ment without 3 revenue then tax
escould be abolished and the dream
of the free-trader fully realized.
Whether it would bring about q
desirable state Of affairs is entirely
. different question, and is not
here discussed.
What was intended is to show
that SO far, in the history of this
country. no practical. acceptable
and desirable method has been
found of raising revenue for the
Government, and, at the same tina,
of establishing absolute free COM
merce with the nations of the earth.
and under present conditions tho
Democrats must continue to hold
their ancient and time-honored
doctrine of tariff for revenue ON
imported goods, giving such pro-
lection as may be found wise and
equitable to American labor and
industries. That is sound Democ-
racy, and always has been. 1t is
the only just and and wise course
between paternal centralism ON one
side and paternal socialism on the
other.

discharged at one blow.
The United States is yearly be-
coming more a manufacturing
country, competing with the other
industrial nations of the world, but
from it's earliest times it has never
been able to enjoy the dream Of
free trade, because a duty on for
eign products furnished the most
convenient and acceptable means
of raising a revenue. In order to
secure an absolutely free and un-
trammeled exchange of products
with all nations it would be neces-
sary to find some means of raising
a tax for public purposes that would
not touch imports from foreign
countries.
Such an expedient was progressed
in a report by committee of Con-
gress in 1853. The committe, OF
which Mr.. Boyce, of South Caro-
lima, was chairman, was charged
with the consideration of the best
means of abolishing all customs
dues. and of substituting therefor
some system of internal taxation.
The committee reported that the
most practicable method of accom-
plishing such result would be to
assess the Federal taxes upon the
States, requiring each State to pay
in proportion to its population. In
this way it was proposed to do
away with all custom houses, abol-
ish the entire system of collecting
a revenue, and place the burden
upon the States.
Since the avowed object of MAX
ing the proposed change was to
place the Federal taxes in q form
least objectionable to the people, il
is easy to see why the loading OF
all the taxes on the State Govern
ments was not acceptable. From
that time to this. to dream of free
traders was seen to be wholly i'm
practicable. and the system of tax
ing imports was retained in use.
No means of doing away with II
have been found available. The
National Government must have q
large amount of money every year,
and it must be got largely from
custom dues.
Very recently socialistic doctrines
have been largely adopted by the
American people. They demand
the collection of a vast amount Of
money, to be divided out broadcast
but since such distribution Of
money requires an increase of tax
alton, and taxes are always the
bane of every government notion
has grown up that only rich meI
should pay the expenses of Govern.

So far, the income tax has not been
