The Tariff bill is published in the London Court
of the 18th, with comments, of which the follow
ing are specimens:
awe do not Or ofess to know what is the real mo-
tive for enacting such tariff but it certainly APP
pears as if Congress were afraid that foreigners got
too much by the custom of their constituents, and
that they determined TO place prohibition on
the consumption Of foreign produce by their own
people, on the envious principle that 1T was bench
cia to others. What should we in this old-fash-
toned world of ours think of the disposition of a
man, who grudged himself the comforts off life, be-
cause he could not enjoy them without indirectly
benefttng his neighbour -
"Compare the aaimus of commercial legislature
like this with the fearless and liberal spirit of our
own policy, which offers to every country not only
an equitable exchange ofproduce but fair and lbc-
raj competition into market. Ii America fan
cies that she will promote her own prosperity, by
shutting hersetn surly seltlshness from the world,
he will be grievously disappointed. The system
of exclusion, laid down in this Tariff, will produce
TO her as little profit in commercial view, as hon
our in national one.'
Ii certainly indicates no little confidence in the
Editor of the London Courier, to talk, any ques
ton relating to America, of the 9 liberal spirit Of
English policy-seeng that by that policy, the
bread stuffs not only of America, but Of all the
world, are prohibited and that of the produce Of
America that is admitted into her ports some OF the
articles tobacco, for instance) are hardened with
duty vastly greater in proportion than any mpos-
ed by our tariff laws.
