MIsERlEs. or THE TARIEF.-The following
is from the Savannah Mercury. one of the
most valuable and best conducted papers in
the south
Previous to the passage Of the tariff of
1924, the southern negroes were clothed in
English or Welsh plains, which cost 81 l-2
cents to 81 per yard. Since that period. our
northern brethren have furnished an article
equally as good, for fifty cents per yard
In 1876, coarse cOttOns sold for twenty
five cents per yard. Then came the ''dabol-
zeal tariff" and the same kind Of goods were
lowered to 9 IA cents per yard
InlSl9, MuscovadO sugar sold as high as
IS cents per pound. Now. in 1923. under
the operation of the ''ruinous tariff" 1t sells
for cents!
In 1899, coffee sold at % cents per pound.
Now, under the unconstitutional tariff" We
are compelled to pay Is cents for the same
article.
In 1915. cut nails sold for Is cents per
pound. But such has been the effect Of the
unjust and oppressive tariff" that our mar
ket is we'll supplied at S cents.
Dcring the two or three years next prece-
dilg The tariff of 1924, cotton bagging re-
pealrdly rose above IS cents. In the fall of
1899. it was as high as so cents per yard {!
Then came "that monster. the tariff" and
cotton 6agging sels at tsOenty- three cents per
gard!
In this way has the "consumer been taxed
for the benefit of the manmIacturer!'' Thus
have the 'p+Oplr Of the south been oppressed;
heen ground DOWN to dust and ashes;" been
made the tributaries Of northern mOnopo-
lists. +" by the ''Grbifrary." the unconstitution-
ar acts, the '.intsrnnI mochinotiOns" Of ''tg.

The Litchfield County post., 1828-10-02

Now here is proof-good southern DR.. Coo
per or Mr.. M'Du6te proof!-that all the chief
of those mechanics are 'preying on the vitals
of the country" because that they export large
quantities of articles, worth three Or,f3ur mil
lions year,to other nations, " here thy meet
and compete with like manufactures of Great
Britain The UNCONDITIONAL RE-
PEAL" then. of all these duties, is the terms
on which southern politicians will cease to
wag their tongues and stop shedding ink, and
no other! Heaven bless, US And what will
the mechanics say, They will raise their ''na-
ked right araps;"at the ends of which are fists
as "big as a peck" and say Bob" The
wEAvERs alone, have, more physical force
than the whole of the people directly interest
ed in the cultivation Of cotton.
The time was, and within few years, that
a large part of all the products Of all those
trades was imported, but 'accursed tariffs
for the protection of American labor, has
rendered the export of their manufactures
greater than the whole amount of import, be-
sides supplying the home market. by which
too millions Of free persons are suhssted in the
United States. Are the means OF livelihood
Ofthese to be deranged. that southern rant
may be accepted for reason! We guess not I!
We guess not!
In the current year not less than 200. 200
bales If cotton will he spun in the United
States and made into cloth, Iiher 10 the fac
tories or as family manufactures.
100000 bales, 500 lbs. each. so millions lbs.

This will make. Of heavy and light goods,
including in the latter the calicOes now manu-
featuring in great quantities. 4 yards to the
pound,-but say only 200 millions of yards;
and when we reflect upon the work perform
ed by more than 100000 hand looms in the
U. S. employed in weaving cotton goods, lin
ems, cloths, &c. and that the goods made in
such looms have a much higher value than
those made in power looms. it will appear
reasonable to average the whole quantity at
Is cents per yard-or thirty millions of dol
lars for two hundred millions Of yards-de-
duct the cost of the cotton. and "a millions
are left for the manu- actHre. while the whole
value of the entire crop Of cotton CANNOT ex
coed 80 millions.
The amount of hand looms will surprise
! many persOns-but the returns Of the maFs
shals in 1910 gave the plumber at S95. sea-
North Carolina. only, having 4O, 1913 The use
of the power loom, with that of the "fy shut

But, Ghe home market SECURED to Ghis snaE-
ufacture. has increased the demand for i,and
the mill Is worked night and day, by two sets
Of hands,-the extra cost Of tear and wear Of
machinery, is probably balanced by what
would be the loss on fuel, in stopping and
starting the engine. Then, &c the UGlue of the
IbOr bestowed on the raw material be 10000
lOllars year, on the ordinary operations of
such an establishment, nearly so per cent. on
that amount would be required to pay inter-
est on capital and charge of superintendent
but 90 per cent. Oh 10000 dollars would
profit the proprietor 2,4OO beyond the
charge for interest and superintendence, and
yet enable him to sci! his canvass for ten per
cent. less. We think this may easily be un-
derstOOd. and the same principle applies to all
manu- featuring establishments Interest goes
on night and day. This shews what has so
much bothered Mr.. Richie and others-how
that the manufacturers, anticipating reduced
prices for their productions in consequence of
increased protection" should yet ask it. Es-
Establishments that have been idle half the
year. will be worked all the year, & great sa-
Wings must on every account be made because
OF steady employment and regular market.
This specially applies 10 manufactures of iron
at the present time.
Again-dOmestic cotton goods, because of
the ''horribe tariff are the best and s,rest ar
ticle that our merchants can export to Chill
and Portland copper, rudely rendered from
the ore, is the best and safest return that can
be obtained for them, being better than spe-
Gle, if it sells in the u. S. for the same that il
costs in Chill or Peru, because of the export
duty on dollars. Copper then reaches the
u. S. on such favorable terms, that we can
afford to refine il and make it even into plates
for sheathing vessels, though there is no dutv
on imported sheathing copper. Between and
100000 dollars are invested in the copper bu-
siness in Baltimore, only-which is not less
remarkable for chemical works, and manu-
features of iron, cotton, lead, sc. Now, as
without the tariff we should not have cotton
goods to export to profit, it follows that we
should not have had copper to manufacture
into sheets, and employ so large a capital and
feed many persons.
THE Revenwe.-The gross revenue that
accrued in this port last year, amounted to
S13,218,96S
The amount accrued in the two first quar-
tiers of this year is
First quarter, ending Slst March S4,189,1l7
Second do. ending S0th June, S,SsS,1O6
$S,O87,S1S
The last two quarters generally are less
productive than tn" first two; but it is prob
able that the gross revenue of this year at the
port of New York, will fully equal that of the
last year.-N. Y. Am

1894" Alum has declined from seven cents
to three or four cents per ID. because of the
same ''infernal tariff" And all can be supplied
in any quantity.
Gunpowder has tumbled down from As
cents to 20 or less, on account of the 'rascaI-
ly tariff" and Mr.. Dupont's works, alone,
employ more tonnage in the transportation of
saltpetre and sulphur, than was employed in
the whole transportation of gunpowder to the
U. S. before it was prohibited by the better
quality and reduced price of our own article.
Considering the length of the voyages, Ito
