No state thinks to strengthen its own in- fant industries by barring out the products of others. Unquestionably each new community has to struggle andexert itselt to compete with older and more skilled and advanced rivals. But it is held that the surest, if not the only, way to excellence is to stand on merit alone, and such ad- vantages as the cost of transportation affords. The unparalled growth ot the wide range of industries ot the United States fully justifies the faith which has been reposed in entirely free competition. There is no tact about which there is more cordial agreement among intelligent and re- flecting men than this one of tree commerce between the states. No doubt this settled judgement 1s con- tributed to by the knowledge that free trade between the states is chance of disturbances by the fundamental law. As the English statue forbiding mar- nage with the wite’s sister puts out of the question the temptation to look with more than fraternal love upon the charms of that near rela- constitutional vision of covetous provision pro- tive, so a closes the tectionists to the apparentadvantages of levying a tax on all goods fabricat- ed beyond the state should have the specious but false line.

But the Texan isasked to take the products of Massachusetts without tax or limit, because the common interest of the two states is thereby helped. In a matter of sheer business and commer- cial intercourse what interest has the T'exan in the citizen of Mas- sachusetts than the American has in the Englishman? It the Texan is really moved by self interest to have Massachusetts Lo- foreign commerce and England because excluding more free intercourse with —if he buys cotton goods from well which could easily and readily arti- tanff— be made at home if the Lowell cle were barred out by a what reason can be offered why an «American should not buy inthe Eng- lish market, when, restrictions being removed, he could buy cheaper than athome? The restrictive system is based on the idea that both parties cannot be benefited by the exchange ot products, which, if itis true, our federal system 1s 2 gigantic error that should at once be reformed.
