The laborers do not appear to be better off there. The tendency of free trade has been to accumulate capital in the hands of a few rich men. to make the rich richer andthe poor poorer. because it leaves the laborer no savings to .lay by to provide for his wants in the fiture. The farmers of Germany are not advised by the statesmen of that country to emigrate. as the English are. Whenever you bring this theory to the practical test of benefit to the masses of the people you cannot ask me to abandon the principle of protection. Let others sing the theoretical beauties and blessings of free trade.
