important to educate the working

protection simply protects the re-

FREE TRADE LEAGUE OF
MANUFACTURERS.
From American Industries.

great number of American manu-.
facturers who were opposed to
..protection" who wanted no
special favors, who felt competent
to give fair quid pro cno and
carry on successful business with
out extorting through the power of
law bonus from no special tavors,
who felt competent to their fellow
citizens. These men have not made
themselves conspicuous invoking
assistance from paternal govern
ment. They have been attending
to their proper business and earn
ing their profits. They have been,
indeed, too little in evidence dur.
ing the construction of tariffs at
Washington, appearing only occa-
sionally to protest against the i'm
position Of unjusts and vexatlous
burdens upon their supplies of
necessary materials.
Some months ago American In
dustries made some inquiries as to
the free-trade sentiment among
American manufacturers. The re-
suit, while not altogether surpris-
ing to us was very gratifying, for
it shows that a very considerable
number of our manufacturers, large
and small, IN all lines of industry,
have seen their business injured
by the tariff taxes and ready and
anxious to sweep away the whole
fabric of ''protection; and meet the
the competition of the world in a
fair field with no favors. They are
free traders in the belief, born CT
their experience, that freedom of
trade will cheaper the supply Of
our materials, extend our markets
and advance our manufacturing
supremacy. We have space here
to quote only few of the replies
received to our inquiries.
Early in the course of our in
quiries, Mr.. H. F. Fellows, presi-
dent Of the Springfield Wagon Co.,
Of Springfield, Mo-, wrote us as
follows:
Il consider a tariff an abridge-
ment of the inalienable rights of an
American citizen, that prevents
him from exchanging his labor or
the products Of his labor for that of
another without subjecting himself
to penalty.
In my line of manufacturing
