During the last campaign the republican orator loved to
lwcll upon the strikes of this country and to trace the moral
that the president's free trade policy was surely hurrying our
nation to perdition. Now the democratic and mugwump
papers grow pathetically sad and mournfully eloquent when,
having recounted the grievances of the workingman, they
show us that the high tariff policy of the president is rapidly
carrying our nation to financial ruin. If a protective tariff is
the great remedy for all the woes of the laborer will some en
thusiastic high protectionist explain why last summer in
the state oi Illinois some of the coal miners were depend
cnt upon charity for existence? If on the other hand free
trade is a remedy for every social evil, will some inspired
democrat tell us-why in free trade England a man must work.
twelve hours a day for a mere existence. The fact is that
both free trade England and protected America are suffering
from social injustice, and as long as one man can compel
another to support him just so long will there be strikes and
lockouts and social misery. In the great cities of England
at the present time there arc thousands of men with no in
terest in the country; men who arc the off-scourings of society
and who do not know when or how they may obtain the next
meal; men who but await the coming of a competent dema
gogue to lead them forth to pillage and slaughter. It is not
by free trade that social disorders can be remedied. Every
nation that possesses a large number of people that would
suffer no loss cither by robbery or anarchy is in contant dan
ger. When every citizen has an interest in upholding a state
which guarantees to him full rights and privileges then and
not till then can the nation be safe.
