I propose to take the same historical incidents and draw an inference founded upon the history of the country. and to inquire whether that inference does not support the Republican theory on this question of a protective tariff. When our fathers rebelled because of the oppression of the mother country the mere fact of organizing armies and placing them in the field operated. how ? It not only stopped. but finally repealed this oppressive legislation of the English Government and made our colonies free. and enabled our people to establish for themselves manufhctories in their midst. which relieved them from the necessity of depending upon the importation of the cheap products of pauper labor in Europe. What was the result? Why.
