lIV ' GOOdS.
"P'ront Grrrty's Pump/act "11 7 . 1 0 I ant a 119 a "
1 am tolerably acquainted with all that
has been urged on behalf oldie policy known
as Free 'nude ; but it has never shaken my
conviction that a ulna' of duties, wisely ad
jusied so as to afford both Revenue and Pro
tection, is essential to the national growth
and well-being. \V hat do we mean by Pro
tection ? Simply the restriction of importa
tions of foreign manufacturers to such an
extent that their younger and less hardy
American rivals may take root and flourish.
I low far do we propos.• to prosecute this pol
icy ? ;mil our country's legintate wants
are supplied by her own labor, so far at Na
ture may have interposed no impediment.—
We never proposed nor intended to natu
ralize here any branch of industry for which
Nature had indicated a different soil or cli
mate than our own, such as the growing
of coffee, or apices, or tropical fruits ; but
wherever Nature is as propitious to the pro
ductions on our own soil as any other, we
maintain that self interest, and the interest
of Labor universally, demand the encourge
ment and fostering of Home Protection, up
to that point where suth production shall be
found to equal the Home Consumpdon. In
other, words, we hold it the interest of La
bor universally, that producer and consumer
should everywhere 1.1.1 placed in as simple
and direct relations as possible, so us to re
lieve them from the necessity of paying trans
portation and three or four profits upon the
interchange of their mutual products in dif
ferent hemispheres, wtien those products
might with 118 little labor have been produced
in the saute neighborhood. We contend
that in this great work of bringing consumer
and producer nearer each other, and thus
diminishing the cost of a factious commerce
Government has an important and benefi
cent function assigned it which it cannot ad
jure without gross dereliction and Serious
detriment to the public weal.
Now that Protection, wisely directed, has
greatly bonefitted and enriched our own and
other countries, I can no more doubt than I
can my own existence. 1 defy any of its
adversaries, to point out an instance where
in a branch of' industry, require for the sup
ply of our own legitimate wants, has been
naturalized among us by means of Protection
where such transfer has not decidedly con
duce(' to the general welfare of our people.
The reason of this is too piain to escape the
diseertnnent of any who %. , ith unpiejadiced
Hp's will attempt to see. That our Cotton,
Corn, Wheat, Beef, Pork, &c., conic cheap
er to their consumers in this country than
they would if we imported them, is not more
self evident than that tae Cloths, Silks
IVares, Crockery. &c., which we now im
port, would Cost its less, if made on our own
soil than they do while imported from Eu
rope. For to make them, whether in Europe
or America, requires subtantially the satire
amount of labor, which, in either case, must
be paid for by our farmers, &c., with the
fruits of their labor; but, so long as they are
made in and imported from rbirope another
large am omit of labor will be rt quired froth
one class or both classes, of prodllt:..N, to pay
the heavy cost of transportation from produ
cer to consumer, and to carry back our heavy
staples in which the payment must mainly
be made. It may easily be, that the nom i rot I
or money price (door wares and fabrics shall
be lower, while they are mainly produced
abroad, and yet their real cost he fur higher.
Wel say, the fanner pays so many dollars
for his Cloths, his Warts, his 'Pea and Cof--
tee ; but practically he does not pay money
but grain or meat,. even though he sell the
littler for cash, and hands that: over Ihr his
goods. The vital question with him
der which policy can I . buy what 1- need,
not for the least money, but for the least ag
gregate of my own likkor as applied to tint
Improving and tilling of my land'? and this
question the money test does not ceuclusive
lv answer. Suppose en Illinois or Wiscon
son hirmer could supply his annual needs of
Cloths, Wares, and Groceries for eighty dol
-1 !ars while we buy them mainly abroad, while
it would cost him one hundred to buy them
Jr produced (under stringent Protection) at
Home—what then ? 'Then ho saves twenty
dollars by sticking to Free Trade,' says an
advocate of that policy. Ah no, sir! You

then he begins to ft..el the stiniulous of near

manufactory of toy kind be established

11:my things are now turned-off (rein at good
prices, which ball no money value while as .
ocean roiled hot weee him and his market;
he heroines thrifty. and buys inure, far more;
than formerly, because he is able to buy far
more. Instead of one or two hundred dol
lars' worth of Wheat or Pork to sell at one
particular season, he is turning off a hundred
dollars' worth of Al ilk, Fruit, Timber, Veg-
mettles &c., each month keeping out of debt
at the store and elewhere, 'and laying up'
money. Ile improves his buildings and thus'
gives a job to his neighbor, the carpenter;
he fills up his house, with furniture, to the
satisfaction of his neighbor, the cabinet a.'
ker he sends his children to a seminary, and
thus increases the income of the teaclier.—:
On every side, the farmer's prosperity over-
flews and conduces to the prosperty of hiS
townsman. And the basis of all this is the'
fact that, by a benignant policy, adequato
markets have been brought nearer his doors'
whereby he receives eighty or ninety instead
of forty or fifty per cent. of what the consum-
or of his products pays 'for them, and is en
'abled ad vantangeously to grow many articleS
which with our workshops in Europe, must•
have rotted on his hands, had he groan them.%
Every dollar thus saved in the expense of
needless transportation, by drawing the man
ufacturies nearer and nearer to tho side of the'
farmer. is a new stimulus to protection , and
the hundred acres which g ave scanty em
ployment as herd man and wheaqrrowers;
to two or three hands, afford ample employ.'
ment for a dozen to twenty, when by reason'
of the neighborhood of manufactories, wheat•
and grass have been in great part supplanted
by gardens, fruit, and vegetables. There is'
