Centralia Chronicle (Newspaper) - February 13, 1890, Centralia, WashingtonVol. 1. Cbntra1ia, Lewis county Washington thursday Lehi Luarty 13, no. British free Trado is. Not broken though in some respects in the fullness of time British Energy had carried the wealth Tim the skill of the kingdom to the Point where no Competition could be feared. During the last thirty years of her protective system and especially during the last Twenty years from 1820 to 18-k to great Britain increased her material wealth beyond All precedent in the history of the world. Her development of steam Power gave to every British Workman the Power of Jiri Areus and the inventive Power of her mechanician increased tie amount the variety and the value of her fabrics beyond All anticipation. Every year of that period witnessed the addition of millions upon millions of Sterling to the Reserve capital of the kingdom every year witnessed a great addition to the effective machinery whose aggregate Power was already the wonder of the world. The Onward March of her manufacturing steady and rapid development of her merch Nutile Marine absorbed the matchless Enterprise and Energy of the kingdom. Finally with a vast capita accumulated with a Low rate of interest established and with a manufacturing Power unequalled the British merchants were ready to under bid All rivals in seeking for the Trade of the world. At that moment great Britain had reason to feel supremely Content. She found under her own lag on the shores of every Ocean a Host of consumer whom no Man might number. She had Canada. Australia and India with open ports and free markets for All her fabrics and More than nil these combined she found the United states suddenly and seriously lowering her Tariff and effectively abolishing Protection at lie very moment King and was declaring for free Trado. The Traelic of asked with apprehension and anxiety will this free Trado Tariff now develop and ii Giuin the but inks of the country As firmly and securely us it Len been developed and sustained by Protection the answer was made in the ensuing year by a widespread financial panic which involved the ruin of thousands including proportionately As Many in the Ponth is in the North leaving the country disordered and distressed in All the avenues of Trade. The disastrous results of this Tariff. Upon the permanent industries of the Conn Are described in president Buchanan s Well remembered message communicated to Congress after the panic with unsurpassed plenty in All the elements of National wealth our manufacturers have suspended our Public Enterprise retarded our private enterprises of different kinds Are abandoned and thou Sands of useful labourers Are thrown out of employment and reduced to this testimony us to tie result of a Freo Trade Tariff is All the More forcible from the fact that or. Buchanan As a of president Polk s Cabinet had consented to the abandonment of Protection which in his earlier career lie had earnestly supported. If these disasters of 1857, flowing from the free Trade Tariff could have been regarded As exceptional they might not have had in deadly a significance. But the american people had twice before passed through a similar experience. On the eve of the War of Congress guarded tie National strength by enacting a highly protective Tariff. By its own terms this Tariff must Ond with the War. When the new Tariff wifi to be formed a popular Erv arose Gaii if to War though the country Hud prospered under them despite the exhausting effect of the struggle with Ireat Britain. But the prayer the impending difficulties Woro two. One was the portentous movement which involved the possibility of dissolving the Union. The other was a demand for a free Trade Tariff be the Only measure that could appease the Southern Nullifier. Disunion and free Trade from that time became associated in the Public a Anrce of apprehension in the North a source of political Power in Tho South. Calhoun web the master spirit who had Given the original impulse both to disunion and free Trade. Each in turn strengthened the other the South and both perished together in the War of the rebellion. For a time satisfaction was Felt with the Tariff adjustment of 1833, because it was always regarded As at least a temporary reconciliation Between two sections of the Union. Before the sliding scale was ruinous by advanced there was i great stimulus to manufacturing and to Trade which finally assumed the form of speculation. The years 1834, 1835 and 1836 were distinguished for All Nanner of business Hazard and before the fourth year opened tie 30-percent, reduction f three years of 10 per cent each on the scale of duties was beginning to influence Trade unfavourably. The apprehension of evil soon became general Public Confidence was shaken the panic of is it ensued Ami business reversals were rapid general and devastating. The trouble increased through 1838, 183d and 1840, and the party in Power held responsible. For the financial disasters fell Pudei popular condemnation. Or. Vanburen was Defeated and tie elder general Harrison wag elevated to the presidency by an exceptionally Large majority of the electoral votes. There was no Relief to the people until the protective of 1s42 was enacted and then Iho Beneficent goods House. We Greswit tills week extracts from the argument of or.

No intelligent protectionist in the United slates pretends that every country would realize advantage from the adoption of the. Protective system. Human government is not a machine and even machines cannot be to perfectly adjusted As to work at All times Ami under All conditions with equal . Great Britain and the United states certainly resemble one another in More ways than either can be raid to resemble any other nation in the world. Yet when we compare the two on the question at Issue the i Florencea arc to marked that we almost lose sight of the resemblance. One is an insular monarchy with Clapp government the other a Continental Republic with popular government. One has n Large population to the i pure mile the other a email population to the Square mile. One was old in a Rich and Complex civilization before the establishment of the other was even foreseen. One Iliad become Tho wealthiest nation in the world while the Oiler was yet in the toils and doubts of a Frontier life and n primitive civilization. One had extensive manufacture.1- fur almost every Field of human need with the civilized world for it Market while the population of the other Way still forced to Divide its civic grief Between the hard calling of the pea and still harder calling of a rude and Eyanthy remunerative agncultun1. The physical differences Between the two countries arc far More striking than the political and social these Are indeed almost incalculable it real Britain is an Inland than ninety thousand Square Miles in extent. It lies in the far North. Its southernmost Poi tit in nearly thirty degrees of latitude above the tropic.--. Its northernmost Point or bul nine degrees below the Arctic Circle.

Practically it would have had no limit. Could she have retained her control of the markets of the United slates As she held it for four years proceeding the outbreak of the civil War the american people would have grown commercially dependent upon her in a greater degree than is Canada or Australia to Day.

Polk to the presidency followed by a perverse violation of Public pledge on the part of men in important places of administration led to the repeal of the protective act and the substitution of the Tariff of 184n, to which i have already adverted Ami whose effects upon the country i have briefly outlined. Measuring therefore from 1812, when a protective Tariff was enacted to give strength and stability to the government in the approaching War with great Britain to 1s01.
