THE FREE TRADE LEAGUE.
Yesterday we published an article
taken from the New York Journal of
Commerce, urging the formation of a
free trade league throughout the coun
try. There is no doubt that this is the
most propitious time for such a move
ment, and we trust that the igitiative
astion taken by the recent convention of
free traders at Saratoga will not'be al
lowed to lose its impetus, but that the
national committee of the association
that called that meeting will strike
while the iron is hot, and do what they
can to give vitality to this great move
ment they have inaugurated.
There can be no doubt that the com
mercial experiences of the past few
years have worked a wonderful revolu
tion in the minds of men upon this
question, and that the conviction is rap
idly coming to them that protection and
its artificial stimulants cannot supply
the healthful and substantial prosperity
which the natural and untrameled ope
rations of trade, making and ruled by
its own laws, can afford. We' are now
learning, as England learned before us,
by bitter experience, the truths of prin
ciples that have been established for
more than a century by arguments and
statistics as solid as those on which the
truths of mathematics are based.
This question is coming up in the
next Congress and in the most formida
ble shape. Indeed, it seems that Amer
lea It protection mad, in spite of her free
and republican institutions, and to it
she runs as the panacea for every com
mercial or industrial disaster. For ex
ample, the recent labor riots and the
depression which produced them have
evolved but two ideas, both of which
are but protection, and in a more bane
ful shape than it has ever before as
sumed in this country.. On one side we
have the railroad magnates, the monop
olists and corporations, clamoring for
an army to protect their privileges and
monopolies against the assaults of
labor, that has been demoralized and
oppressed by a derangement of trade
and industry, resulting solely from gov
ernment interference with commoce
and manufactures. On the other hand,
we find the laboring classes demanding
that the government shall take in hand
the greatest industries of the country,
and exerclse over them a supervision
which is clearly and flagrantly outside
ofall governmental functions. Inter
ference by government upon either side
can in the end do nothing but harm,
and to prevent this is the immediate
task to which the free-traders may ap
ply themselves, by presenting the only
source of our troubles, protection, and
the sole remedy for them, free trade.
The disenthralment of our trade and
industry is a great and splendid aspira
tion second only to that of political and
personal freedom, but it is one which
can be worked out only by the people
themselves. Like the latter, its conces
slon must be forced from our rulers,
otherwise it will never be achieved. In
deed, of all the social theories that have
ever been broached there is none so un
tenable, so utterly absurd as that the
evils of society, of whatever character,
have ever been pliated by legislative
remedies afforded at the suggestion and
by the sagacity of government. "No
great reform, no great political im
provement, has ever been originated in
any country by its rulers. The suggest
ers of such steps have invariably been
bold and original thinkers, who discern
the abuse, denounce it, and point out
how it is to be reobdied. At length, if
circumstances are favorable, the press
ure from without becomes so strong that
government is obliged to give way."
These are the golden words of one of
the greatest and most resolute of mod
ern thinkers, and they plainly indicate
the source from which the reforms de
manded mus: oome. In this instance
we are called upon merely to recognize
truths and principles that have long
prevailed in the most enlightened coun
tries and which are established by a
chain of testimony that is irrefutable.
Sad experience has finally impressed
them apon us, and now the "outside
pressure" must be brought to bear to
compel their recognition from the gov
ernment, and to do this is the work of
the free traders and their league.
In illustration of what we have said
we refer to the abolition of the c :rn
laws, one of the most remarkable re
forms in the history of England. Those
who are but little versed in history will
asoribe their repeal to the wisdom of
Parliament. But those who look deeper
will see that their repeal was forced
from rI~ment by the activity o: the
Anti-Corn Law lea.gue, which, in turn,
were but the instruments of a publio
opinion far stronger than they, but
which they certainly deserve the credit
of having organized and given method
and practical direction. Public opinion,
the fruit of necessity, is now ripe-yes,
clamorous-for the reform of our tariff,
the destruction of monopolies, the with
drawal from corporations of vested and
exclusive privileges, and the entire dis
enthralir eat of trade from the restric
tions with which it has been hampered
and almost destroyed by government
interference. Let the League consoli
date and direlt this popular conviction,
strengthen and disseminate its views,
and it will soon be able to compel from
Congress what will never be given by
voluntary concession.
What we need in this instance is not
new laws and additional restraints, such
as are proposed in the bill for the in
crease of the army and the supervision
by government of railroads and the
establishment of labor bureaux. The
reform here will be achieved, as in every
modern instance, not by doing some
thing new, but by simply undoing all
that is old. The best legislation has al
ways been destructive of preceding leg
islation; the best laws those that re
pealed existing laws. This is all that is
needed.
In the instance just cited all that was
done was to repeal the corn laws.
Therein consisted the whole reform,
and the result was to leave trade to its
natural freedom and to place it on the
same footing as if legislation had never
interfered with it at al.
The whole scope and tendency of
modern legislation is to restore things
to that natural channel from which the
ignorance or corruption of preceding
legislation has driven them.
This is all we ask of our legislators,
and this will accomplish all that is de
sired; but if they go further they are
bound to overstep their proper func
tions, and in every instance incalcula
ble harm is almost certain to follow.
All that they can do is but negative and
is nothing more than to afford the op
portunity of progress; the progress it
self must depend on other matters.
It is to obtain the repeal of the many
restrictions upon our domestic as well
as foreign trade, and to restrain the
meddling spirit of our legislation that
will be the mission of this league, and
the people are now ripe for its labors,
the ultimate success of which can be
doubted by no enlightened and thought
ful mind. Let them push their work,
then, for a more propitious day for a
great and necessary reform was never
seen, for never before were the evils of
bad and meddling legislation so op
pressive or the causes of distress so ap
parent.
QUARANTINE.
The yellow fever is prevailing in Ha
vana, and nearly all the vessels in that
port are infected. Dr. Finney, the officer
at the Mississippi Quarantine Station,
reports to our Board of Health that
there are at his station two infected
barks in ballast, two brigs and one
bark loaded with coffee, and that the
steamer Margaret, with a miscellaneous
cargo, has just arrived from Havana
with yellow fever on board. There are
now at Dr. Finney's station five cases of
the fever under treatment, while two
deaths have occurred. At the Itigolets
there is a vessel quarantined with two
cases on board. Dr. Choppin, president
of the Board of Health, has given orders
to rigidly enforce the quarantine regu
lations, and there is little or no danger
of any infected vessels reaching this
port.
There has not been in many years so
favorable a season to test the efficacy of
quarantine in ekeluding yellow fever
from this city, and we are gratified to
know that the Board of Health are de
termined to thoroughly apply the test.
In 1873 the Valparaiso brought the
yellow fever into New ,Orleans, and
several hundred persons died of the
disease. From the Valparaiso the fever
was carried on board of steamers which
took it to Memphis and Shreveport, and
we all remember with what virulence
the pestilence established itself in these
two cities. Even now we shudder to
recall its desolations there. From 1873
until last summer the germ of the dis
ease has lingered here, producing each
summer a number of deaths. The severe
cold of last winter, however, seems ut
terly to have destroyed the poison. Not
a single case of yellow fever has oc
curred in New Orleans this summer;
not a case of disease in any respect re
sembling it has occurred. New Orleans
is now, and has been all the summer,
one of the healthiest cities in the United
States. It is the determination of the
Board of Health that this state of things
shall continue if there is efficiency in
quarantine and sanitary regulations,
and every good citizen, we assume, will
sustain the board in the enforce
ment of those laws and regulations
which they deem essential to the pre
servation of the health of the city.
No unnecessary restrictions will be
imposed upon commerce. But every
consideration must yield to those pre
cautions which scientific men deem
necessary to exclude the dread scourge
from our midst. Ship captains, and
many others, are too apt, in the prose
cution of their individual interests, to
lose sight of the public good ani
to look upon restrictions imposed upon
them in the general interest as arbi
trary and needless. We assume, how
ever, that no more terrible calamity
could befall this city than the introduc
tion into it this fall of yellow fever. Dr.
Choppin and other eminent physicians
who have spent years in the investiga
tion of this subject firmly believe that
yCellow fever can always be excluded
from New Orleans. They should, there
fore, be sustained in all the important
steps they are now takingto prove the
correctness of their views. The period
of danger has almost passed. So far
not a single case of the fever has oc
curred here, and the members of the
board feel confident that the enforce
ment for a brief period of the quaran
tine regulations will render the city
perfectly safe.
THE FARMERB' STRIKE.
A letter from a country merchant
in Brookhaven, Miss., to Messrs.
Payne, Kennedy & Co., of this city,
gives an account of a remarkable move
ment in Lincoln and adjacent counties I
called the "farmers' strike," in which
three-fourths of the population have en
gaged, against the merchants. The
farmers allege that the merchants
charge them fifty per cent profit on the
supplies they advance them on their
crops; that this is exorbitant and that
a pound of cotton ought to pay for a
pound of bacon; on this hypothesis
they demand in their settlements with
the merchants fifteen cents per pound
for their cotton, and refuse to settle
upon any other basis.
Upon the other hand the merchants
claim that they charge no higher per
centage than their customers at the be
ginning of the year agreed to pay for
supplies on twelve months' credit. The
merchants affirm that it costs them in
rents, insurance, clerk hire, etc., not
less than 25 per cent on their invest
ments to do business on a credit basis;
that their losses on cotton taken in set
tlement is fully 10 per cent, and that
consequently, conceding that they col
lecot all that is due them, they realize
only 15 per cent in their business. The
movement among the farmers of the
region of country r ferred to against the
merchants is rapidly spreading, we are
told, and the state of things is not at all
cheerful.
It seems to us that fifty per cent on
advances to the farmers is a very high
and oppressive rate, but we certainly
cannot see upon what ground the farm
ers hold that a pound of cotton ought to
be worth a pound of bacon. They might
just as well affirm that a pound of cot
ton ought to be worth a pound of gold,
and then refuse to settle their accounts
upon any other basis. The value of com
modittes is regulated by demand and
supply, and not by any such arbitrary
proceedings as those, we are told, the
farmers of Lincoln have instituted.
If the merchant charges the farmer
exorbitant prices, the farmer ought to
give his custom to some other merchant.
We opine, however, that the farmers
are pretty much in the power of the
local merchants; they cannot make
their cotton without advances of corn,
meat, etc., and at the end of the year it,
of course, takes all their cotton to pay
for supplies which they have bought on
credit at prices ranging from ten to
twenty-five per cent above cash prices.
And thus the farmers are never able to
emancipate themselves from the fifty
per cent tax of the merchants.
Let the farmers of the country referred
to step up to the office like little men,
pay up squarely for what they bought
at the prices they agreed to pay, and
then go home, put enough land in corn
to meet all their needs, raise their own
pork and provisions, put the residue of
their land in cotton, and at the end of
the year they will have corn and meat
in abundance, and their cotton crop,
whatever it may amount to, will be clear
money; they can then snap their fingers
at the merchants who charge them
fifty per cent on advances and use their
cash to buy from those who will sell
them cheapest.
1'The American Public Health Associa
tion meets in Chicago on the 25th inst.
Dr. Samuel Choppin, President of the
New Orleans Board of Health, has been
invited to attend the meeting and read
a paper on yellow fever and its preven
tion by quarantine and disinfecting
agents. Dr. Choppin had proposed to
attend the meeting of the association,
but the prevalence of the yellow fever
in Havana, and his earnest desire and
purpose to fully test the efficacy of
quarantine in protecting this city from
that pestilence, may induce him to
forego his trip and remain here on the
ground with the Board of Health to give
his personal and indefatigable attention
to the experiment.
Should Dr. Choppin not attend the
Association, we hope, nevertheless, that
his paper on the interesting and vital
subject he proposed to discuss before
the meeting will be published. The
efficiency of quarantine, disinfecting
agencies and sanitary measures in pre
venting the introduction and spread of
pestilence has often been discussed by
able scientists; but its consideration
from the present advanced standpoint
of science, by a physician so eminent as
Dr. Choppin, and who has had such a
wide field of observation, cannot but
throw new light upon it and prove of
incalculable service to society.
The last rumor is that Cameron and
Hartranft are about to strike a trade.
Hartranft does not want to go to the
Senate after all, but is immensely in
favor of Don's re-election, the consid
eration whereof is that the caucuses
will urge his nomination for the Presi
dency. This is what you might call
Sdealing in "futures" with a boundless
margin.
It is now authoritatively stated that
the Hons. Charles Foster and Garfield
have concluded that it will be just as
well to let the Democrats organize the
new House of Representatives. Modest
and fair-minded men, if they do come
from Ohio,
