AMERICAN TARIFF.
PEEL has recently said. IN ms place in The IIorrsE
OF CoTuoNs, that the American Tariff is one Of tie
causes Of the present distress of this country Il is
therefore, worth whic TO inquire little what has
been the real cause of the American Tariff: There
rin be no doubt that Il has, III degree, contrI-
bnted towards the prcseat distress of the manufact
:crs, seeing That has prevented immense quantities
ut hardware, OF cultcns and of woolcns from being
exported from this country to America Il IS hard

or even assisted, 10 break mp many tradcsnen In
London iud country towns, how IL should ma We

TdOc state. The truth IS, II has very little to do in
producing any oil these effects, and would not have
been felt national evil if it had not been for the
operations Of the Small Bill. But since the
