THE ANTI-TARiFF CONVENTION.

THE ANTI-TARiFF CONVENTION.
fePpsnrs that the predictions Of the N. Y. Ameri-
can Advocate are not fulfilled. They adopted an I'D
dress to the People did the Free Trade Convention
But, though they had world of facts before them as
INC advocate stated, they did not draft any Memorial
to Congress-no more than the Free Trade did-bu re-
ferred its composition, not Select Committee as the
others did, but to the Chairman aione.-And what
mighty superiority can they claim, in their Debates
and in the order OF their proceedings? The Phadel
pha Convention waived the discussion of the one only
debateabe point which they did agree, viz the
consttutionaly OF the Tariff-The N. York Convention
had also one great debateable question before them;
viz the species and reduction of the duties to meet the
waived They shufied of the Resolution OF Mr. Lock-
wood OF N. York, that ga Committee Of be ap-
pointed TO consider what articles and what extent
the present rate oil duties may be reduced without in
Jaring our commerce, manufactures and agriculture
and its effects the u. Staes In support this mo-
ton, the gentleman said that he thought such Com
mtee was appointed, IL would prevent much OF the
embarrassment under which the Convention iaboured
He did not think that the public wish could be satisfied
unless the Convention would record their opsion rela
tive to the reduction OF the Tariff. He of opinion
that would be the duty Of the Convention express
their opinion. He thought that the people of the u
States would not be satisfied, unless such resolution as
proposed by him carried into effect 1-They would
aot meet, however, the discussion among themselves
And all learn is that The close of the Address TO
The People Internationally admits the proprety Of
Siying the Tariff law Of 1925 but nprcsses doubt as
10 the proper period that this modification should be
made. There is disposition TO trust this vita, and i'm
portrait point TO Congress-" And TO the order and
dccorum OF their Debates the Free Trade Convention
not inferior TO their competitors There was at
no signs OF vituperation, OF umult, Kissing among
them.
To show, however, what the New York Convention
have done, we copy the following coup dccii from an
