Why is this so? Simply because for nearly twenty years before 1880 the manufactories had been stimulated to exertion by a protective tariff. and there was a demand for workmen in the factories. and they worked in fictories in place of on firms. Had not this been the case the natural increase and emigration would have given us 3.000.000 more farmers than we did have in 1880. increasing the farmers product that much. Benjamin Franklin wrote to ChiefJustice Marshall saying every manufacture encouraged in our country makes part of a market for provisions within ourselves. and saves so much money to the country. But we are still told a tariff does the farmer no good.
