Last wear the road was not open west Of Springfield.
If allow ofthar portion ofthe road
the ofthe previous year viz so cent? will
give sac 900 as the eps from the freight from Albany
for September This sufficient to show that the
prise of the Bostonans taken the wind of the sails
cf New York in relation TO the Western trade.
Not satisfied with this however, her leading men, Alb
bott Lawrence and Others have with untrng persever
ance procured the passage of tariff which in the pre-
Of trade strikes fatal blow the import trade
New York. After having. by legitimate enterprise de.
prved York of the commission trade of eastern ma
nufactures they have procured the nterposon OF the
law turn the foreign trade from ships and whars
to British bottoms and the St. Lawrence river While
these vast events big with the ruin Of New York and the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of New England have been going on,
the people Of New have been luled sleep by the
false representations of the press which they support
Like the tabled vampire, which, by its waving wings
luis Ms victim in fatal sleep, while silently sucks his
hearts blood, corrupt partisan press have been singing
the praises of high tariff while the and trade
OF the city have been drawn other quarters With cool
decision the English merchants instead of checking their
operation only alter the destination of their from
the Hudson to the St. Lawrence and smile at the folly of
our Government, while their vessels do the trade
morning paper makes the following remark =
The objections the tariff it will he seen are very
different in the two countries Where complained Of
here. is as is said because it will nure the country
and per CONTRA where IL is complained Of in the
reason given that will nure the English and benefit
the American trade"
When two nations trade together it is fair to suppose
that sthey mutually derive benefit from that trade If
the government of one by law, nterposes barrier to
stop the trade for the purpose of benefng other
class ots citizens both Countries los, all the advan
tages that they mutually derived from their previous in
tercourse In the present case the British manufacturers
suppose that they will be injured the exclusion
goo s The English traders however, will find their usual
vent through the Intervention of smugglers and the
only parties seriously injured will be New York which
will lose the trade, and the American shipping interests
which will lose the carrying.
With the two large for the business which il
has heretofore DONE thus off, the trade of the city of
New York must per force, be stationary or declining
although the aggregate the whole Union
in the Of business is just beginning be percep
tible That New York Is immensely the loser by u.s. in
ameasure her own fault Her large capitalists been
led by designing politicians, whose whole aim was the
plumber to be got out bubble companies and which had
prevented them from taking proper steps secure their
hold on the internal trade, while they have scarcely
without opposition allowed themselves to be deprived of
their commerce by the enactment of oppressive tariff
By these New York has been deprived ola business
worth at least $40 600 900 per This not tenn
porary stagnaton of trade but growing out permanent
y operating causes against which efforts ftheirs can
contend The chief trade of the city is destroyed by
prohbitive tariff that tariff is evaded it must be by
smuggling in other quarters. If it continues long enough
in operation to establish regular channels Of trade in those
quarters the remedy which immediate modifc alton
OF the tariff, will lose its effect.
