The Editor of the Columbus (Geo.) Inquirer
who has been heretofore Free Trade 'Theo-
rist, thus canddly abandons his false position and
exposes its folly:


For ourselves we are not ashamed to confess
that we have fairly come over to Mr. Ciay's doc
trines exposed in his very clear and eloquent
speeches in the Senate of the United States
We used to be tolerably ho-headed uuiilfier IN
our bOylsh days, when our heads were turned in,
side out by the glitering bauble of an impracti.
cable free trade system, which we were fool e.
nough to think within the range Of possibilities


It is of the things that ought TO be, but can
not-until all nations see eve to eye-and re-
taIiatory tariff, atfording incidental protection


home manufactures, is the only thing that can
save us from being eaten up yoracIously by for
eign States"
