What part, ' indeed, did a protective
tariff play la the national uprising- af
1II1T How macb ww it oieouseeo w
the Ltnoola-Dou gla ss debs tee la IMI or
Uaoola'a Cooper Unlw speech to 1410,
5 tho Important speeches. Republican
Democratic of 1144 or 1II4T It WW
not mentioned. The Republican plat
form of 1414 wld act ow word in be
half of protection nof did tt mention
the tariff, although tw Walker tariff
a tariff for revenue, and not for protec
tion had been In operation 10 ywrs.
The Republican platform of 1140 did not
refer to protection or 0 protective tariff.
Ia one of tho later and subordinate
clauses of the platform tt did declare
that "white providing revenue ceo
by duties upon Imports, sound volley
requlrw such an sdjustment of thow
1 an posit Ion a w to encourage the devel
opment of tho Induetrlal . Interest of
tw whole eountry." But oven this
vaaw augwwtloa, ' which might mean
high or low protective duties, or ao pro
tective duties whatever, made no part
of the campaign. Lincoln did not refer
to It In hie letter of accepts nee or in bis
inaugural. In 1414 the Republlwa plat
form nande not a single reference to pro
tection or the tariff; nor did Uneola Is
his eooeptanee or Inaugural.
Something; from Abraham Lincoln m
be be If of a high protective tariff would
bo preeloM indeed, to tbe RcpubUoaM
of today. But they wn find nothing.
For evw thdr campaign book the beet
thev can do la to pick out a few aea-
tencw from speeches of Mr. Ilnooln1n
1141 and 1447. a doses and more ywrs
before he was president, and sven be

as abhorrent to Abraham Lincoln w It
is to Judge Parker.
Bven in 1144. when, the war, being
three ywrs ended, buslmw questions
began to be thought of, the Republican
wrty wld not a word hi behalf of a
