Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Free Trade Policy Examined With Respect to Its Real Bearing Upon Native Industry, Our Colonial System, and the Institutions and Ultimate Destinies of the Nation: To Which Is Added an Appendix on Free Trade and the Tariff Question in the United States A strike amongst the manufacturing work-people against reduction of wages, following a measure which was to postpone the period of such reduction almost indefinitely, will be a very different affair to those strikes - fearful enough in their result which have taken place in past times. It will be a final struggle on the part of the laborer for his future position in the social fabric. We have no further delusive dreams of mitigation of hissufl'er ings, by the supply of cheaper means of supporting existence, to hold up before his eyes. He will say now I must have a security that I can live by my labor, or I must experiment as I please upon those institutions which practically place me in the position of a machine, and not of a. Human being with wants which eat into the life, and lacerate both the body and the soul. The charac ter of such experiments, from such a source, I need not dilate upon. Such results must follow from any measures which render us permanently dependent upon other countries for food, and displace that home industry by which our sup&ly of food has been accustomed to be produced. E cannot give our money to the foreigner and to the British farmer at the same time. If we enable the former to consume more extensively our products, we lessen proportionately the power of the home grower to consume. It 18 a trgnsfer, which we make, of customers who take the amount of their whole earnings from the Bri tish manufacturer for those who will only take a portion of the value which they supply.
