the "states must give the right pf fran
chise to the blacks on the same terms
as to the -whites; in other words, they
cannot discriminate on account of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude.
: When Henry Clay enlisted in the
'movement to abolish slavery In his
state, it is not at all likely that he
was aware of the magnitude of the
undertaking. He was a young man
and had not been In Kentucky but a
few years, his birth place being Vlr
ginia. It is probable that the rebuff
he and his friends received, convinced
him of the power of slavery as an in
stitution. At any rate, he always
worked to restrict slavery if he could
not abolish it. He was the author of
the famous Missouri compromise of
1820, by which slavery was not to go
north of 36 degrees 30 minutes that
is, the southern boundary of Missouri
. extended. And Missouri was admitted
Into the Union,' as a slave state, with
.the understanding that all territory
north of 36:30 should be free. At
this time Clay heard southern men
make threats that if slavery could not
fce extended they would go out of
the Union. From this time on Clay
became the great "pacificator." "
As Clay grew older, he feared the
black man, and he feared, the white
man. He thought the two races could
not live together, unless one race was
subordinate to the other. In this he
was mistaken as he would have
learned if he could have lived to see
the civil war through and been alive
now. -.
Clay was a protective tariff man,
partly because he was opposed to slav
ery. If he had been in favor of slav
ery from his youth and had believed
in it as Calhoun did, he would have
given up his idea of protection. He
would have found It impossible to
stand with one foot upon slavery and
the other upon protection. But being
ardently in favor of protection, which
he called the American system, he
had to oppose the extension of slav
ery all his life.
- Whoever reads the history of the
United States, will find, that slavery
and free trade (or tariff for revenue
only) went hand in hand, while free
dom and protection went together. If
this is so, then it is hardly worth 1
while to attempt to found a new par
ty without accepting protection as the
foundation principle. Who will care
to connect themselves with a party
that means slavery, both white and
black? Who wilj connect himself with
a party , that almost destroyed the
south as well as the north? Who
wants to take the country back to the
year 1820 the year of the Missouri
compromise when the battle between
slavery and freedom commenced? We
cannot afford to go over that ground
again. Much less can we go back still
further and. inquire how the owners
of slaves in the south became more
and more in favor of slavery and free
trade, while the free laborers of the
north became more and moreopposed
to slavery and free trade. This would
make it necessary to inquire why the
south, which at the beginning was in
favor of protection much more so
than the north afterwards became in
favor of free trade (or tariff for rev
enue only); while the north, which
was at first inclined to slavery and
free trade, afterwards became in favor
of protection and freedom. It would
also be necessary to inquire why the
south became in favor of "state
rights" which meant nullification and
secession, while the north became
more and more opposed to state rights,
nullification and secession. Whoever
goes through or over the history of
the -country will find that slavery, free
trade and state rights had to go to
gether, while freedom, protection and
nationality had to go together. This
being so, any new party that pro
nounces in favor of tariff for revenue
only or free trade will sooner or later
pronounce for everything that slavery
requires, namely, a gold standard,
banks to issue the paper money, and,
generally, that the monoitolislic cor
porations and trusts shall rule the
country, with slavery for all whites
as well as blacks.
Internal Improvements were a prom
inent issue aa soon a the constitu
tion was adopted In 1788; and tariff
soon Ixvame connected with this 1s
aue. At flint these Improvements
meant the building of roads and ca
nals In connection with the Improve
ment of riven for purposes of navi
gation. Afterward internal improve
ment meant the construction of rail
road by the federal government. He-

cently internal improvements have
tanen the form of ownersaip of rail
roads or regulation of tnern by the
federal government. AH through this
long argument it will be found that
those wno tavored " internal improve
ments also favored protection. The
fathers of the republic, and many who
came after them, thought that the tar
iff duties ought to be so high that the
government could not only be sup
ported, but that there would be a sur
plus to carry on the internal improve
ments. This was protection, not only
of home industries, but of great na
tional public highways, so that the
states could be bound together and a
great nation might be formed. Those
who opposed internal improvements
opposed protection. They wanted the
tariff duties just high enough to sup
port the government, "economically
administered." These people were in
favor of "tariff for revenue only," by
which they meant that there should
be no duties levied for purposes of
protection or internal improvements.
This was the origin of the famous
phrase, "tariff for revenue only." If
it had not been for the great issue
of internal improvements, there nev
er would have been any such phrase.
But it does not now have such refer
ence. On the contrary, it means that If
the democrats get into power (espe
cially under the leadership of Grover
Cleveland and his friends) they will
arrange the tariff in such a way that
the duties will be very high on such
foreign goods as we cannot produce
and very low on such goods as wo can
produce. They will not make the du
ties any lower on an average; on the
contrary, they can make them higher,
without violating their great funda
mental principle of tariff for revenue
only. All that the democrats pledge
themselves to do Is to levy no duties
that will encourage or protect Ameri
can industries as against foreign in
dustries. They propose to keep their
eyes open to the one single matter of
getting revenue enough for the fed
eral government, and to leave all of
our industries to take care of them
selves as against the industries of all
other nations.-'
In reply to this, it is only necessary
to say, that if we adopt protection,
we will keep our eyes open not only
to getting revenue for the govern
ment, but we will so arrange the tar
iff duties that every American indus
try will be duly protected as against
every similar foreign competing in
dustry, and that our own country as
a nation will be duly protected as
against the aggressions of all loreign
nations; and that we will do this by
putting no tariff duties at all on such
goods as we do. not wish to produce
and we will have duties on all foreign
goods (the like of which we wish to
produce) high enough to protect
American labor and American capital
as against foreign labor and foreign
capital.
This can be done without any diffi
culty, if we keep In mind that when
revenue is wanted for the government
it is to be obtained by a tax on in
comes, inheritances, or any other form
of wealth.
The issue, now, is not whether a few
rivers shall be improved for naviga
tion, not the building of canals mere
ly, not the building of railroads mere
ly, not the making of turnpikes by the
national government, but whether all
these public highways shall be owned
or controlled by the government, so
that every citizen can use them on
equal terms.
The American people are getting
tired of "free passes" for a few priv
ileged persons. If a few they say are
to have these things, why not every
body have a free ride? Are we not all
citizens? Are we not all entitled to
use the public highways on equal
terms?
With the public highways owned
or under the control of the people!
and the volume of money likewise
rontrolled by the people instead of
the banks (or other private corpora
tions) there will be a chance for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The moat difficult monopoly to light
Is the money jower. It is so thor
oughly entrenched. ' It is protected
by laws, it cannot be defeated with
out removing these laws.
It is much more easy to defeat the
other monopolies because there la no
law to protect them. They are doing
their work without the authority of
law. The Sherman law, If enforced,
would kill every monopoly except the
money monopoly. Thli cannot be de
stroyed until we can get a Uw on tho
statute IhoKh repealing the law al
