The argument in favor of high piotective tariff was, originally, that America should “protect its infant industries.” These “infants” have fattened and grown for 100 years, and all the insurance and interest on mortgages paid by tire people go to those who have accumulated capital in the east. — The tariff robbers can no longer claim “protection” openly for themselves, so they make the hypocritical demand for “protection to American labor.” Pennsylvania is the most protected state in the Union, and yet from the mines in that state come the most piteous cries of starving labor. Protection protects the few at the expense of the many. The tariff is the Old Man of the Sea thut sits astride the necks of the people. The tariff is the nursery of trusts and monopoly. The tariff is a robbery, unseen but felt in every householu in the land. — Will the American people be deluded into perpetuating the infamy?—Fort Worth (Texas) Gazette.
