AMERICAN TARIFF.

We invite the attention Of our readers particular
~ those who are opposed to the present " ruinous
Tariff" to perusa of the following article. which
we find extracted from the Liverpool Chronicle
". Il Eue. Gag.
The following letter appeared some time ago IN
the London Morning Chronicle, and it has since
then. been copied into several papers, and has been
made the subject of considerable comment. Ii CON
tains fair statenant of the between this coun
try and the United States and it is calculated to re-
move preiudices, and to give true direction to the
opinions of those among US who feel any interest
(and who does not?) in the preservation OF peacea
BILE relations with the United States. However
strong our national predictions may be, we cannot
disguise from ourselves that III this case we are ne
agsressors. The Corn Laws. that terrible t'IoH'e
paid by the people to the landed arlstocracy' are
the cause mt only of much direct misery. but ate
also the fruitful source whence many great e'hs
proceed, and among them we may now reckon the re-
taliation of our exclusive system by America, a!d
the danger. 1--WE hope remote one.) OF nerrupting
that peaceful intercourse which is necessary to Inc
happiness and true interests OF both nations. we
have heard, both within and without the walls of
Parliament, persons speak in lis ht terms of the Anne
rcan Tariff, and attribute exclusively to America a
short sir hted policy, and an unwise deviation from
the sound principles Of commerce. We would de-
sire those whose thoughts accord with these senti-
ments, attcntveiy to peruse the statements in the
following letter, which we can assure our readers is
the production of an English merchant. resident
OF this town, who has had ample opportunities re-
garding the United States. the letter should fail
to work any change in the views of those who re-
gard only our own policy we would venture to urge
that there are otherreasons why Great Britain should
pause before she erects herself into the injured par
ty; one OF which is forcibly suggested to minds
by document now lying before U.S. We ailude to
the statement Of cotton shipped at New Orleans, du-
ring the season ending the 4th July, 1928.
From this return it appears that there have been
shipped to Great Britain 32, 594 bales, and to sew
eral parts of France 1857 bales. With manufac.

The diffusion Of property and equality Of ci,,
rights, which the Americans SO amply enjoy, leave
nothing to be acquired, but every thing to be los, by
change ;-those who expect to see that grave and
enlightened people exchange their present state ii
union, strength and happiness, for division and self
destruction, know nothing Of their character and
little of human nature.
These observations are made in spirit Of fair MA,
to the Americans, and with the hope of exciting ~.

judgment Of America which led to the late ,v,s
that might possibly have never taken place had thsr,

New Orleans 65,357 bales OF cotton or nall the

we would ask to tamper with our American trade,

To the Editor Of The Morning Chronicle. ;,
Sir-It manles,s much ignorance in the people OF
this country to censure America for Tariff. the Cd
iect, which is clearly to create, by means OF ioca,
manufactures, that market at home Tor agricultural
produce which England denies to her abroad.
| II is reasonable that America should wish to con-
dense part Of population which increases annually
at the rate Of 400 600 souls instead OF continuing
TO dffuse it over boundless space, adding the redun
dance and annihiatps the yalue instead OF provd-
ing for the consumption of her agricultural produce
| Ii we're easy to expose the gross pretentons set
IN nv Mr. Huskinson and others an the part OF Eng
land, to the character OF mercantile lberality out
let us see how the account stands with America
England sends in manufactures, to the U. States O
much greater value than her almost prohlD''ory du-
ties allow her to receive produce In exchange;
in consequence, the balances 10 favour of the States
in their trade with the rest Of the world are absorb
ed in paying England
The only article of any value which England takes
from America is cotton. If America grew only
minor instead of the major quantity OF cotton con
sumed by Europe. then, indeed. England would
punish through this article, it will be shown she
does through all other American articles; any wan
of subserviency to her interest, but upon American
cotton our own principal manufacturers depend
we cannot forego its use, dare we tax it tor ou

growing cotton in the Fast Indies, is scarcely wor

filthy cotton Of Bengal and Bombay into the Amer

long since have taken place but, was it otherwise
the experiment of the means by which such conve

The other articles of produce which England take
