THE REDUCTION
An effort is making throw dust into the eyes of the
good people OF ). Carolina-n two ways.
FIRST, 1t is boldly asserted, that the proposed Tariff i.
worse (worse age tcOrSe) than the Tariff of 2S the
duties not0 imposed the protected articles are much
greater al Udi0Tem, than they in 1S2s-that the
whole reduction on the unprotected articles is only about
4mlionsfrom which, five deduct the dssumedincrea
QncreaseD on the protected articles about 900 600
we have the amount Of actual reduction under this bill
three millions, and no more These statements deu-
ve, we entertain not the smallest doubtWe have taken
some palms, however, 10 ascertain the facts the most at-
thenic form within our power-and whatever be The re-
suit, we pledge ourselves TO lay them fairly and fully be-
Tore our readers Meantime lay before them the fol-
lowing extract OF letter from gentleman, who has made
commerce and finance his study for long of years
who is too able to be deceived, and honest 10
ceve others
Extract of letter from Member Of Congress lceH ac
dated July %.
In former letter said that the reduction of the du-
ties under the Tariff as it has passed. including the
tons made in 1880, and predcaed the revenue of that
year, would cause total reduction of eleven Millions and
| believe OF twelve millions. Tie Nat L. said that this
was larger amount than any yet estimated. predicated
my estimate on the following data:
" /. The Secretary OF the Treasury report
ed, that his bill would, with the reductions
made in $780, reduce the revenue from the
act OF 1928 in the sum of SIl,5l2 $50
"2. The House bill Iessened the amount so
as that the reductions would have amounted
to- little more than 100000
SO. The reduction OF the duties made by
the Senate on wines, silks, linens, sail duck,
SC &c. and making free of duty nearly 100
articles, will by my estimate least 700 600
Total of reduction, $4,000, OoO'
In the I'd place, effort is making by the Charleston
Mercury and other multiplying papers, impress upon the
minds oil the People that the present bill to be the set
