The principle of freedom of trade, rec commcd by the President, ha- \ i«• >< 1 - etl only temporarily to the mor<- im portant principle that etlVct- the Constitution. - When the state capitol burned :i few years ago the Philadelphia pap ers wanted the capitol changed to Philadelphia, and one of the strong arguments used was the comparative eflicien -y of the Philadelphia .fire department.
