PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE.

What fierce fellow the Life Long Ad-

To know 1t but IL is hard TO convince a
fellow that Free Trade is not good
thing IL you use such arguments as the
Advocate is guilty OF.
Now suppose Lincoln was a protection
ist. that does not prove anything. Lin
coin was one OF natures noblemen, but
so was Golden and Golden was a free
trader
Jefferson was not a protectionst. He
"retaliated" against England because
she protected England against our mer-
chandise, and he meant IL as a retalia-
ton. He said III England refuses our
good permission to enter that country on
an equality with the most favored ma
tions, We will punish her until she does
by refusing her goods permission TO enter
our ports. or at least imposing a heavy
duty. He protested against English pro-
lection. When Jefferson put his ideas in
to practice the country was in misery.
and the people loudly proclaimed against
his act, and William Cullen Bryant. a
youth Of thirteen, at the time gave him
a terrible calling down In verse. On the
other hand when Golden succeeded after
life time OF effort. and spending his
large fortune. the wages OF the English
people went up. and bread became
cheaper. Jeffersons protection reduced
wages, and Cobden's free trade Increased
wages.
Your advocate speaks as though we
were just emerging from an era of free
trade We have never had free trade. on
the contrary we have always had pro-
lection If he would only answer n ques-
ion. instead of ignoring II as he did when
/ asked II labor unions did not have some
effect in raising wages. l would ask him
another. when was there time in this
country that foreign goods were allow
ed To come into this country free?
Suppose jefferson and Lincoln were
alive today what would they say about
putting coal on the free list. Is II likely
that honest Abe would advocate still
higher tariff on that necessary article.
What does the Advocate say? I suppose
he will follow his usual course and say
nothing. j. NJ.
