FIFTY YEARS AGO-f MU.
WIL,
, SON'S AHGUMUNT.
Fifty years ago, when Henry.
Clay advocated n tariff it was not
to give protection lor protection
sake and for all time, but to give
it to "mfaiit tndustrie8,,and tem
porarily only. Now the demand
is lor protection to (fail-grown
giant .monopolies and for all time
Wbojoi Mr, Clay advocjated 20 per
cent Now Colonel Dqckery bold
ly. claims 47 per cent and more.
What be: advocated w4s as differ
ent, not only in its amount, bat
in its purpose, as the circamstan
ces dfthe age in T nhicli ihlired
are different from tliosn of the one
in which we live;; In kpita. of all

protection's safcp, and ftvr1 the
ben efit of g ia n t mo n o pjrl ie5, a rgu
ments that he applied buly to in
fant industries, j His pi a in argn
ment was, briefly, "Thjit J he pro
tective system would jmild up a
home demand for the products of
the farm and thus maintain or ad
vanco the price of those pro
ducts." . . j
But all the force there may have
been in the "home market " ar
gument when Mr. Clay used it is
entirely dissipated to-day.
Mr. day "spoke to Ja country
without railroads, without tele
graphs of steamships, jand when
the value of a bushel of wheat
was exhausted by a haul of S00
miles, and that ot cornjby a haul
of 100 mites It was ajday when
Mr. Webster di scribed American
manufactures as "a litjtle capital
mixed with manual labor." At
that time the neighborjug village
or town consumed the farmer's
products and wore tho clothing
made from his wool and cotton.
The world has bein create
anew since Mr. Clay made that
speech. To-day we have a rail
road system of 150,0001 miles ex
tending into every corner of this
country where population or pro
duct invites it. J To-day wo have
instantaneous. comiuunication
with every "section of thefconntry,
with every portion of Uie r ivorld.
You can order a cargo bf tea from
rJhina and it will be loaded ou
the ship before night. An order
tor wheat from Liverpool. to San
Fraucisco will outstrip the lagging
sun and get there hours i be to re
him. Tou can transfer millions
of dollars in the twinkling of an
eye frorn the nioney market of
Calcutta to that of Uoudou or
New York. Tue whole world
with the construction o) railroads,
with the building of steamshipn,
witn the laying ot cables, hes been
df awu into one familyv . The price
of the fa rmer8 product! is up Iou-
gir decided in the market ot the
neighboring village; out - in ine
great market of the wcjrld. f

the argumetit is daily addressed
to the farmer, "Tax yourself still
longer to diversify industry and
build up home purchasers for
your - products " Our surplus
wheat crop last year. would feed
thirty millions ot people. Is there
any device of taxation by which
the farmer could build up a home
demand tor that? - You say to the
Minnesota farmer, complaining
that he gets but 60 cents a bushel
for his - wheat, ''Continue to
uphold tho tariff; it will start up
other industries in your State to
buy your wheat" But the former,
if he is intelligent, knows that
theie is a cry of over production
irqm ,our ;r manufacturers., today;
that we already have more than
we cau find a market for) and as
Iongtas there is free trade among
the. States of this country there'is
no taxation to which he can sub

But suppose you give him. a
rolling -mill capable of supplying:
all the steel rails needed for . the
railroads of his State, a sugar-re,
fiiiery capable of supplying all the
sugar consumed in bisStatev and
a boot and fcboe factory ; sufficient
tor the demands of the entire pop

not be humaii labor -enough in
