n~,s,y-oas years. there was balance u tade
assins, This country and in favor Of Europe. OF
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY SEVEN MILL
IONS or DOLLARS,
Thirdly We have demonstrated that this large
balance Of Foreign Trade must be paid in Speeie
for the reason tina, We have paper currency
which will be received in Europe. And we have
also shown that this specie must be taken from the
pocteis Of fhs people because the merchants who
sell them goods, will sell them jusi much higher
as sreee il worth more Than the paper which the
people pay them for goods aud they will do this,
ut the reason that the merchants are compelled 10
make their payments 10 such funds, (Which is spe-
cie.) as will pass in Europe
Fourth. withou, such a system Of Tariff as will
prevent the wares of Europe from sale here fee Of
duty without such Tarf as will tar those wares
dbundaniiy, that the resutmust be 10 beggar the
poor Laborcrs and Mechanics OF our own country.
Because in Europe much OF the labor is mere pau
per labor, and the be had from four to cerc
pence per day and this starving labor is employed
in the manufacture of hats. boots, cloths, shoes,
trunks saddles, paper, &c. &c. which are also man
ufactued here, and which give 10 thousands OF poor
men and women the meas OF life. Take as an in
stance the forty iAe4saad females engaged in man
ufactories in the sf2E State of Massachusetts; or
the sersnfeen Moussnd porkmen engaged in the sin
gle business of the Iron Works in the State of Penn
sylvania and The oghty-four thousand persons de.
pendent upos them Jor support II there be ne law
prevent the free sale of European goods here, the
pauper labor of thai country, employed in the man
ufac,ure Of such gods must thus compete with, and
bcggar our own labor and industry engaged in the
same departments o: manufacture and mechanism.
On the other hind we have shown that proper
Tariff will, by the duties imposed upon foreign
goods, create Revenue without taxing the people.
Fifth. That Tariff which shall force Europe to
open her ports to American wheat, corn, pork, lum-
Der, tobacco in snort, to American staples, will thus
create exchange Of such staples for foreign goods;
and by this mean prevent foreign balance ofrade,
and foreign demand for specie; while it will raise
the value of the farmers products TO degree which
will enable his ppducts to pay for his foreign goods,
besides commanding for them valuable market.
SirM. Tha, Tariff, Gf the policy of Europe
shall persevere a it now ISL which, by highly pro.
tective duties, upon European manufactured arti-
cles shall so discourage the sale Of those articles
as to force this country TO manufacture them for her
self, will open and vast field for the energies
of our people. We have shown, that by ehcourag-
ing home manufactures in this way, vast home
market will be c'eated for the sale of the produce Of
the farmers; because those engaged in such manu-
features must bs fed. In confirmation Of this we
have before instsnced the single State OF Massachu
sets, whose manufacturers, in single year, pur-
chase and consume products, Of the soil to the
amount Of FORTYTWO MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS, to say Iolhing of the vast consumption of
mechanic wares. And while these results flow to
the farmer. an avenue is thus opened for the thou.
sand laborers ofboth sexes which press our land.
Seventh. We have shown arrayed in favor of
measure so beneicont, the names of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison. and even Of Jackson and OF
Cas-; while we 6svrshown opposed TO it, Van Ba-
rem, Calhoun, buchanan.
Now with whom Will the FARMERS go1 With
tina, party which desires to lower the price Of th"r
products To afford them an European market for
their staples or a home market for them! or will
they go with the Free Trade party vino, while Eu-
rope closes all avenues to the sale Of wheat and
corn, &c. will yet insist upon permitting that
try 10 sell here free Of duty, thus to foreign
debt, and thus to dram American specie with which
to pay it,
With whom will the MECHANICS got With
the patty which, by the imposition Of tax, desires
10 protect such wares as THEY manufacture from
the competition OF the pauper labor of the old world
or will they 60 with the party which proposes to
suffer foreign people to flood our shores with man
ufactured articles a, so low rate prevent the
American mechanic from fair sales, and thus to beg
gar him and close his shop in bankruptcy
With whom will the LABORER gol With that
party whose object is to secure to labor fair equiv
aleni' or will they go with those who desire, by
placing the American Lab,rer in competition with
European paupers, 10 bring him dOun to a fer pen
mes day for has ,osges
For who will men Of all classes got For the
party whose ayowed purpose it is to raise the reve-
nue. for the support of the federal government by
tax upon British goods! Or will they go with that
party Dho seek 10 ,cring The reUenue in hard dollars
BY THE TAX GATIIERER, by the levy for that
purpose, OF DIRECT TAX upon the pockets
Of The people

Democratic Wings are with you and with your in
ieresis; you would contribute TO your interests,
