S 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 Uy, n,,blnhinglv.WcaLtatuJ au . . - i .

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 .
