FIRST DISTRICT,

Oy The augusta Constitutt0naliSt asserts,
with reference to article on American Pms,
that the duty on Imported Pins under the New
Tariff is equal to 100 per cent So much the bet
ter fer eur argument if this be true We stated
the fact that in consequence OF this increase OF
duty, the price of Pins has been reduced in our
narket-and this fact stands uncontradicted. At
The same time we stated that the American Pins
arc far superior in quality to the Imported. The
American Pin is solid headed.-that IS, the body
and head are one piece, which is an advantage
which would have prevented many fatal accidents
it has sitter body and sharper point than It's
English rival. Now if we can have better pin
at less price made by our own wo1kmen than
we can get abroad, what american should object!
The point of our article was this An increase Of
the dutu on Pins has reduced Tie price to Tie
American consumer and if the increase of the
duty be greater than we stated, much the better
for oul argument.
