debts, protective tariffs and high taxes,
Whilst no lover of order, no advocate
of the true principles of democracy, can
look back upon the insulting mockery aud
miserable devices, their "hard cider" tricks
liza 1910 to obtain votes, without shame and
sorrow, aye, loathing aud disgust, we find
them preparing another BALL. 20 gull and
delude the people again. Gentlemen
wings YOU have once ensnared us, your
Iinlinerants with Ogle's speech in their
pockets, and camor for currency decoyed
some of US, to your clog cablne,' your
Ihasls, your riots and reyeIs--you can mis-
lead US no more, is now the watchword OF
the people. Prepare aud roll your tariff
ball! We understand its eiiects.-We
well know, under this system,that northern
monopoies will spring into he upon the
labor of the West and South. Let Us
revenue, but let it be derived equally.
What must be the effect Of a high tariff
such, as is desired by those, 10 advocacy
of The measured 1t cuts OF revenue,
brings doSn the wages of labor, dImInlshe:
consumption, and enrches the f0w at The
expense or the many We have borrow
ed some arguments:
"Here is a farmer who has sold G,teer
bushels of wheat at a dollar bushel
making fifteen dollars; with which he
goes to buy cotton, wooien, or linen cloth
for the comfort of his family. OF broad
cloth, he could get fifteen yards for fifteen
dollars, but the tariff which increases the
price 81 80 per yard; ia consequence 0!
which, he can only buy ten yards with his
fifteen dollars; the price Of fifteen bushels
of wheat. Thus he is deprived of one
third OF his earnings, aud Of one-lhird OF
The comforts he could otherwise purchase
tor ms family, and the manufactured is
deprived Of one.ihird of his market: that
is, The manufacturer can now sell but ten
Yards of cloth to a customer who would
buy fifteen but for the tariff. So it is in
reference to cottons, linens, and every
other product and manufacture sui Jet to
a tariff, whether for reyeuue or protection
If all the cotton, woollen, and linen
goods, consumed in the United United
States were manufactured at home, nc
revenue would accrue from their impor,a.
lion, whatever might be our tariff rates.
If all the iron and glass used IN the
United States, were made in our owl
boundaries and gass-houses, no reyenu,
would be derived from the importation 0
these articles.
II the duty on wines and foreign liquors
were so high, as tostop their consumption
no revenue would accrue from that source
II the impost on silks were so high, a
10 prevent s,mporlation, no revenue wouI
be realized upon those articles.
OF course then there must be a gram
deficit in the Revenue, and consequent,
the Government must resort other mean
of support, What is thnt resort? WHY
direct taxes. Under a tariff we prohibl
all foreign importation; surely then, W,
cannot expect the commerce of other ma
tons. We tax them out Of our markets
The wants of Government must be SUD
piled; to effect which, every thing tina
we eat, drink, or wear, the very air w,
breathe must be taxed, TO enrich few for
elgn capitalist lsuch NAV, will he the oct
who shall invest their wealth ia nor,her,
factories. They will buy our woolens
hemp, and cotton at such prices, as the,
may choose to pay, and return it to us II
Iabncs, at any exorbItant price they may
deem fit to ailix.
The produce OF the United States, onl,
