had 5ren argued that il lhs be true, discriminating
3tules furnished proect,on-that the manufacturer
could mol be benefited If the tendency Of such duties
was reduce prices Now, by stating single
pm illustration % the principle he advanced, he could
very plainly show the correctness u l. In the first
place the manufacturer encouraged from The idea
that has Government exercised patcrna care over

pie lie advanced tins He wou!d suppose that
there an article selling England for one dollar
on which there duty, which ten cents 10
import i io TINS country and on which the merchant
wished 20 make profit OF ten cents. The article,
Therefore, would sell N our oan market at one dol
ar and twenty cents An individual in this country
FINDING he manufacture The article at that price,
commences the manufacture, and to a certain eX-
5tent, works on, the torega manuacurer who reduc.
ing his price 10 ninety cents, IS brought down to
dollar m our market price at which the American
manufacturer cannot compete with him, though he
2can DO 50, when Inc price dollar. Now the sup
position Is, that IN the article paying no duty, the TO-
Ireian produce. having surplus hand would be
aslr', -aier than keep IT. to sell itai but under
Pie Of 4 tariff, tne article brought down Ia

3iacer cannot 20, and thus he American producer, III
inc, having the whole market is enabled TO reduce
the price. Inc Brush manufacturer, without tariff
