Excerpt from The Economic Fact-Book and Free-Traders' Guide

Such debates and such organization will do much to cure the present timidity of political parties, and not least of Congressmen, on this ques tion. The replies of Congressmen to queries on the tariff question, given in this issue, show a much greater boldness on the part of protectionists than on the part of revenue reformers. The reason is obvious; the remedy is plain. It is for the people, for public opinion, to compel parties and men to stand up to principles and never to dodge. If leadership is lacking in Congress, leaders will be found among the people and sent to Congress. The immediate work of free traders should indeed be largely that of preparation for the Congressional elections of 1886, when we want men who are not afraid to speak out. The labor vote, which is so feared by politicians, will be on the free-trade side when the facts of the situation are fully brought home to workingmen.
