Theory of “free trade” raised by
the protectionists every lime any
thing is said about a modification
of the tariff, is intended as a feint
to divert public attention, while
they are concocting their schemes
to rob and plunder the people.
Condition of Farmers.
The Atlanta Constitution, and
■liter journals interested in the
perpetuation of the present out
rageous tariff, never weary of as
serting that our agriculture is in
a highly prosperous condition.
They make this assertion because
Liny consider it essential to the
successful inainlainance of the
principles of protection. To ad
mit that the farmers arc drifting
into a state oT “dependence ami
“servitude,” would damage the
cause they are striving so bard to
defend and uphold: especially
when the farmers themselves are
ascribing to the inequalities of
the tariff’a large portion of their
misfortunes. It is well known
that the tariff’ was never intended
to benefit the farmer, and any ar
gument attempting to show that
it does must tail, because there
are no facts to sustain it. Its
only object is io benefit the man
ufacturer, by destroying or crip
pling foreign competition, thereby
enabling him to gel a higher
price for his goods. But that is
not its only effect; for litis higher
to ship his goods over three thmis
and miles across the ocean, and
compete with the American man
ufacturer? It is reasonable to
presume that competition is as
sharp in England as it is in this
country, and therefore if a mer
chant gets fifteen dollars for a
suit of clothes in London, how can
he afford to pay the cost of trans
purlalion, and the heavy «1 uty at
I the custom house, and sell that
suit forojlhe same price in New
York or Atlanta? A man would
he crazy to think of such a thing.
If goods arc as cheap here as they
arc there, then it is evident that!
the American dealer is in no dan ;
ger of foreign competition even :
without the tariff. IflheConsti j

such a theory. But the leading

adopted the instrumentality ol

it is known that #8,000,000 have
been thus invested in our State,
and as a rule of these capitalists
is, that the farmer shall have only
