Gle FOR EVERY BODY TO READ.
The new tariff Bill 10 England, which, il is said,
stands very great certainty ofpassng, has thrown the
home eaguers high tariff and high taxation party ofths
country into great confusion They seem to look up
on the revival obusness and the prosperity OF The coun
nv. with as great horror as though all their cunning
schemes of monopoly and oppression were at an end
forever. Atpresent, we admit the prospect ofa total
end lasting overthrow of their schemes very fair
indeed.

,'CASApA- WHARF.-The Canadians are aiming
now to monopolize the wheat and -four trade Of the
West. They have placed gold and silver at various
points and are establishing agencies for buying, all over
the Western States. They take this wheat and -four
TO England in English vessels, and selit for Canada
wheat whilst our own people are notpermitted to and
one hushe ofitin England, without giving another Tor
the privilege. Our loco friends would fam tell at This
was Il great favor and they are putting and blowing ev
ery day about the abundance OF specie that is furnished
by these agencies as evidence of the prosperity of the
timesl But what is the price wepay for this godl
Just what has always been paid for British gold. Lib
erly and independence. The poor privilege ofbranding
barrel oihour is forbidden; and we are impeled TO
call our produce Canadian or in other wordswe must
acknowledge ourselves within the Jurisdiction OF the
Colonial Government of England before we can finger
cent ofthis desired specie, which told isto fur
nish us a currency This is to be the Unconstitutional
c,vrency that has been so long promised us-or which
we are to change the proud Independence of AmerlA
cas, and become virtually Colonsts of Great Britain
Here fellow citizens Of Ohio, isa pretty fair sample
ofwhig politics. This man IS Secretary we believe,or
has besn Of one ofthe Home League Societies. We
have at least seen his among their proceedings
The question here put at issue, whether we shall des
troy our Canadian rade continue to enjoy lis advan-
tages which are opening with such fine prospects, both
to the farming interests Of Ohio and the starving Char
lists of England, who are far better democrats we
should Judge, than the home eaguers Of The U s. The
great eye sore to whig bethern, seems to be that
the Canadians paying for their wheat in gold and
stoer for last year. when they sold their drafts to such
swiudns shops as the German Bank of Wooster, the
Bank of Canton, Lebanon Urbana, &C., we heard not
word from these pariohc papers about loss of 'llb-
erty and independence and our "beComing virtually
colonlsts' again. No, not word then escaped their
vgiant lips, But when they deposIte gold and silver
to pay the farmer for his wheat then our liberties are
gone! We presume the intelligent farmers Of Ohio will
comprehend this, and rebuke the authors as they de-
serve. y@
Under the new British tariff, however, which so as
larms these home leaguers, wheat and flour will not be
the only articles of tradeneiIher is it true that there is
to pe no reduction in our direct trade American yes,
