AGAIN WE AMv : "AUB YOU CANDID f
Again we appeal to fair-minded republi
cans who have been led to believe that
President Cleveland favors free trade to
compare the vital text of his message with
the views of many leading rcpublicans,aid
then candidly say whether the message
means "free trade." The following is t'. e
vital text of the message :
"It is not proposed to entirely relieve the
country of this taxation. It must be ex
tensively continued as the source of the
Government's income ; and in a readjust
ment of our tariff the interests of Amei i
can labor engaged in manufacture should
be carefully considered, as well as the pres
ervation of our manufacturers."
Now, then, read the following from Mr.
Cleveland's letter of acceptance : "The
cost of government must continue to be
met by a tariff duty collected at our custom
houses upon imported goods and by an in
ternal revenue tax assessed upon spirituous
and malt liquors, tobacco and oleomargar
ine. We propose, therefore, to stimulate
ur domestic industrial enterprises by free
ing from duty imported raw materials
which by the employment of labor are
used in eur home manufactures, thus ex
tending the markets for their sale and per
mitting an Increased and steady production
with allowance of abundant profits. True
to the undeviaiing course of the democratic
party we will not neglect the interests of
our laborers and our workmginen. In all
our efforts to remedy existing evils we will
furnish no excuse for the loss of employ
ment or the reduction of the wages of hon
est toil. On the contrary, we propose, in
any adjustment of our revenue laws,to con
cede such encouragement and adyantage
to the employes of domestic labor as will
easily compensate for any difference that
may exi6t between the standard of wages
which should be paid to our laboring men
and the rate allowed in other countries.We
propose, too, by extending the markets for
our manufacturers, to promote steady em
ployment of labor, white, by cheapening
the cost of the necessaries of life, we increase
the purchasing power of the workingman's
wages and add to thecomfortsof his home."
Compare the above views of President
Cleveland with the views of leading repub
licans as shown below :
General John A Logan, April iSth.iSyo:
"Now when the gentleman, who seems to
be the protector in an especial manner of
the great labor interests of this country,
speaks ot this protection Delng tne protec
tion of the labor of this country,! ask him
Does not every farmer and mechanic in
this broad land make use of iren in all
kinds of labor ? The 4,000,000 men that
have been freed recently are laborers, are
producers, not manufacturers. They are
not men of skilled labor ; they evidently
are not men who are protected. And then
there are the men in the Northwest who
produce corn, wheat, oats, pork and beans,
etc. j they are producers and consumers,
and are not protested ; and it is they who
pay this large amount of money into the
pockets of the manufacturers of this article.
And when a gentleman stands upon this
Moor and tells me that this hlgn, tins ex
traordinarily high tariff, is for the protection
of the laboring men, I tell him that I do
not understand how he can possibly sub
stantiate sucn a theory."
My republican friend, read that again
and then say which is the free trader, Cltve
land or Logan.
James A. Garfield.Aprll ISM870 : "Du
ties should be so high that our manufac
turers can fairly compete with the foreign
product, but not so high as to enable them
to drive out the foreign article.enioy a mo
nopoly of the trade, and regulate the prices
as they please. This is my doctrine of pro
tection. If Congress pursues this line of
policy steadily we shall, year by year, ap
proach more nearly to the basis of free
trade, because we shall be more nearly able
to compete with other nations on equal
terms. I am for a protection which leads
to ultimate free trade."
Garfield has always been regarded as the
oracle of his party. Which is more nearly
a free trader, he or Cleveland ?
President Arthur,Annual Message,i8Sj:
"A total abolition of excise taxes wernld
almost inevitably prove a serious, if not an
insurmountable obstacle to a thorough re
vision of the tariff and to any considerable
reduction in Import duties. The present
tariff system U, in many respects, unjust.
It makes unequal distributions, both of Its
burdens and its benefits. I recommend an
enlargement of the free list so as to Include
within it the numerous articles which yield
inconsiderable revenue, a simplification of
the complex and inconsistent schedule of
duties upon certain manufactures, particu
larly those of cotton, Iron and steel, and a
substantial reduction of the duties upon
those articles, and upon sugar, molasses, silk,
wool and woolen goods."
Now we ask our republican readers to
carefully read and compare these openly
expressed views ol the great leaders of
their party with the views of President
Cleveland as expressed above, ind then
candidly and honestly answer the question
whether they consider the views of Mr.
Cleveland that of a freetrader. They can
not candidly say they do. President Cleve
land has not taken nearly so radical a posi
tion on tariff reform as nearly all the re
publican leaders In the last decade. We
might give extracts from speeches and
writings of scores of others who made the
republican party great,such as Allison,Fol
ger, Grant, McCulloch, Sherman, Hale,
Ingalls, Lodgc.Long.McKlnlcy and scores
of others taking stronger ground in favor
of tariff reduction, did space permit. No
candid man who reads Cleveland's niesscge
or the Mills bill would think of saying
they mean free trade.
Chauncey M. Dcpew has knocked the
last prop from under the "British Gold and
Cobden Club" scarecrow of his high tariff
friends.- He quoted one of Ihc most intelli
gent of English noblemen as expressing a
hope that Harrison would be elected, giving
as a reason that tariff reduction, as sro
posed by the Democrats, would injure Eng
lwh manufacturers. His opinion was that
with free raw materials American manu
facturers would become formidable com
petitors in the world's market. And he
was right.
We have entered upon no crusade of free
trade. The reform we seek to inaugurte is
predicated upon the utmost care for estab
lished industries, a jealous regard for the
interests of American labor and a sincere
desire to relieve the country from the in
justice and damager of a condition which
threatens evil to all the people of the land.
President Cleveland's Letter of Acceptance.
It seems perfectly clear that when the
Government, this instrumentality created
and maintained by the people to do their
bidding, turns upon and, through an utter
perversion of its powers, extorts from their
labor and capital tribute largely in excess of
public necessities, the creature has rebelled
against the creator and the masters are
robbed by their servants. President Cleve
land's Letter of Acceptance.
