FREE TRADE—-NO. 2.
Editor Light:
In my last I promissed extracts
from the democratic platforms and
the sayings and writings of democra-
tic statesmen to show that the demo-
cratic party is the free trade party of
this nation; but to do this I must go
back a little.
Upon the assembling of the first
United States Congress under our
present constitution and on the 4th
day of July 1787 with almost a un-
animous vote the first tariff act was
passed and according to the custom
of that day the objects of the act were
stated in in its caption as follows:
“Whereas it is necessary for the
support of government for the dis-
charge of the debts of the United
States and the encouragement
and protection of manufactures
that duties be laid on goods wares
and merchandise imported.”
This act was passed under the
powers granted to congress by the
constitution article 1 section 8 as
follows:
“The congress shall have power
to lay and collect taxes duties im-
posts and excisses; to pay the debts
and provide for the common defense
and general welfare of the United
States.”
The above article of July 4th 1787
was approved by President Washing-
ton and all his compatriots of the
revolution of 1776; and laid the corner
stone and mudsill of protection as
advocated by its friends of today. It
is the doctrine of the fathers and let
the free trade weather rage.
From the said 4th day of July 1789
up to the trouble between Jackson
and Calhoun in 1831-2 the doctrine
that congress had the power audit
was its duty in levying a tariff of
charges on imported goods to protect
and encourage manufactures was not
seriously questioned by any one.
The doctrine was endorsed and car-
ried out by Washington and his en-
tire cabinet by John Adams and his
cabinet by Thomas Jefferson and his
cabinet by Janies Madison and his
cabinet by James Monroe and his
cabinet by John Quincy Adams and
his cabinet and by Andrew Jackson
and his cabinet and by almost solid
majorities in each congress from
1789 to 1831 or for a period
of forty years. Who dis-
putes the* above. General Jackson
said in his letter to Dr. Coleman of
date 1828:
“You asked me my opinion on the
tariff. So far as the tariff before us
embraces the design of fostering pro-
tecting and preserving within our-
selres the means of natural defense
and independence I would advocate
and support it (tariff of 1824). Heaven
smiles upon us that same Providence
has blessed us with the means of
national independence and national
defense. If we omit or refuse to use
the gift which He has extended to us
we deserve not the continuance of His
blessing. He has filled our moun-
tains and plains with minerals
with lead ore and copper and given
us a clima e and soil for growing
hemp and wool. These being the
grand materials of our national de-
fense they ought to have extended to
them adequate and fair protec-
tion. ********
It is time we should become a little
more Americanized and instead of
feeding the paupers and laborers of
Europe feed our own or else in a
short time we shall all he paupers
ourselves. In short sir we have been
too long a subject to the policy of
British merchants.
This is the platform upon which the
grand old hero of New Orleans was
elected in 1828 and re-elected in 1832.
Compare this letter of Jackson with
the free trade whinings of Mills Hurd
Carlisle and Cleveland who want to
favor those same British merchants of
which Jackson spoke by denying to
wool the adequate and fair protection
demanded by Jackson. But in 1832
there arose the greatest revolutionist
that this government has ever known
and whilst he did not live to see his
country baptized in fraternal blood
yet he in 1832 sowed the seeds of
the civil war of
This resolutionist declaiw in 1832
that the government of the United
States set up by Washington and his
compatriots is not a government but
a rope of sand—that it is not a sover-
ignty especially in the matter of
putting on tariffs but that in putting
on tariffs the government of the
United States can only put on tariff
for revenue and when she goes be-
yond the point which any state
deems necessary then that such
state can and must rise up
and nullify the laws.
In this revolutionary doctrine of
Calhoun lies the beginning or start-
ing point of the free traders of today.
Now let us trace this free trade party
from Jackson’s time down to Cleve-
land. In 1836 Van Buren was
elected president riding in on Jack-
son’s coat tail and claimed by Jack-
son’s friends to be a protectionist; but
in office he was a straddler between
Jackson’s doctrine and the doctrine
of the revolutionist. Calhoun and said
nothing but permitted the compro-
mise act of 1832 to lower the tariff of
1824 and 1828 until the government
was bankrupt with a deficit of $14-
000090 in her revenue.
But al* tiiis point length demands
that I*?all close this history of tlie
free-traders as they enter the cam-
paign of 1840 and trace them farther
in my next. Republican.

“We’ll hang Bryan Callaghan on a
sour apple tree” etc. was sung by
the ladies and gentlemen in the omni-
bus coming from the Mission Hose
company’s picnic to the target range
last night as Bryau drove by the
’bus.”
E litor Light:
Dear Sir: The above item appeared
iu your paper of yesterday and in my
judgment places the ladies and gen-
tlemen who composed that party in a
false light. The song was not sung as
Mayor Callaghan drove by the ’bus
but was sung while he was driving
along side of it which he did for at
least a quarter of an hour and helped
the ladies and gentlemen sing the
sour apple tree to the honor of all the
individuals who composed the party.
And when his name was mentioned
it was not out of any disrespect for
him. The members of the Mission
Hose company have no reason to be
disrespectful to Mayor Callaghan.
Please publish this and oblige.
Yours truly T. H. Abbott
One of the Singers.
The simple fact that the above song
was sung was stated. If the Mission
Hose company can find anything in
the item “that places them in a false
light” it is more than most anybody
else can or did.—Ed.
