A duty which shall make him pay more for his coffee. or one which shall protect him in the receipt of good wages for his work? These questions go directly to the issue between the two parties upon the tariff. The Republican party believes in levying duties so as to protect our industries and maintain a good remuneration for labor. The Democratic party believes in raising revenue for revenue alone. letting our industries and our workingmen take care of themselves in unrestricted competition with the pauper labor of the world. But the freetrade Democracy will tell you that protection raises prices. that the consumer must have cheap goods. Upon this they harp continually.
