PREFACE.

One hundred years of discussion, and a like period of experience, places the United States in the advance in teaching and legislating on fiscal and economic questions.

Since the adoption of the Federal Constitution, in 1789, Congress has been in session 112 times and occupied 13,627 days. During this period 125 bills for raising revenue upon imposts have become laws. The best thought expressed in all this debate forms the basis of the present discussion on the Mills bill. Four thousand one hundred and seventysix large quarto pages of the Congressional Record contain this debate in about 200 set speeches, running through sixty-six days. In editing PROTECTION ECHOES FROM THE CAPITOL, we made 1,254 clippings from this great volume of tariff history, and have in this handy volume the gems of that controversy, giving prominence to Labor and Wages, Farming, Manufacturing, and Home Industry. We send it on its mission to sixty millions of thoughtful people, hoping it may somewhere meet, in this political canvass, "FREE TRADE ECHOES," and favorably represent the cause of American homes, PROTECTION.

T. H. MCKEE.
