FALLACY OF THE PRETENCE
THAT THE NEW TARIFF
PROTECTS FARMERS.

"Ths charge" says high tariff man "lha, the
tariff affords no protection TO farmers is all pre-
tence. Here is Tariff on beef and pork, on butter
and cheese, on lard, wheat. oats, wheat flour and
potatoes, all the great staples of New England,
which must have been designed for the exclusive
benefit Of the farmers" Now all this is very spe-
cious, and may pass on slight inspection, for ev
idence, We admit that The new tariff imposes ve-
ry considerable duties on all these articles.
1t is not quite so clear, that these duties any
benefit at all 10 our farmers.
Below we give table, showing the whole
quantity of these articles, Impaired during the year

together with their ;" foreign cost and charges"

have already shown most manies,y. They mus,

largely to the demand for every thing the New En-
gland States produce.
When bale of cotton finds sale abroad let il
be remembered that the beef and pork, and breud
and all the other domestic supplies consumed by
those who produced it, find a market ut tho same
time. When we sell our southern cotton, we sell
indirectly our own northern agricultural supplies,

of all such goods as ale not dyed and colored, Is
