hundred Democrats in the Senate
and House ot Kepresenmtives, ana
considerable over halt ot this num-
ber have either spoken or voted tor
some kind ot protection, parucuiar-
ly as it effects the products of their
own State, while tor the hrst time,
perhaps, in our history . there has
been no Democrat to voice the. old
Free Trade sentiment that custom
houses should be entirely abolished
Uand our market throvvn open to the
II foreign producers.
Going back to the advent ot the
iepublican party we find that al-
most the first law which it placed
on the Statute books was tne so-call-
ed Morrill tariff, passed m 18b 1,
' .
and which became a law even before
the inauguration
of Abraham .Lin-
coin.
Siuce that time the Itepubli-

protectionist party, and such it islo-

it is not only important for comfort

important as a preventative ' of dis-

With a farm-house isolated from
