THE WORKINGS OF THE TARIFF.
In our columns to-day, will be found in
teresling statements relating to cotton. BY
the foreign news it will be seen that an ad.
vance has taken place, and from other &C.
counts we learn that the demand for cotton on
this side of the Atlantic, 0iH be much greater
than IL erer has been, OF the most sanguine,
engaged in manufactures, expected it to be.
This is o,oing mainly to the competition started
by our Northern manufacturers with those
of England. Our readers have been already
apprised, that, by way of experiment, some
months since, a certain species of cotton
cloth was manufactured at the North, and
forwarded to Barring g. Brothers, England, to
dispose of-and that other experiments OF q
similar kind, have been since going on
The result has exceeded even the eXpecta.
tions of those engaged in the adventure, and
astonished the English themselves for the
cloth exported, was superior in quality, and
lower in price, than goods of a like descrip-
ton manufactured in England. The conse-
quence was, that British merchants at once
gave large orders TO the Northen Manufac.

for a great and unexpected improvement in
the home market. This improvement is
rightly attributed by the Milledgeville Jour-
unl 'to the competition which has lately
been started by our manufacturers of
the North! What but this has set in mo.
ti,n the looms and spindles of New England
and New York and rekindled the forge fires
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey! What
but this has brought back the hum of bust
ness aad the hue of prosperity throughout
our broad land!
There never was measure of public pol.
icy which so effcctually indicated itself
from the assaults of its opponents, or SO fully
justified the most sangliine anticipations Of
its friends, as the Wing Tariff has done
within the brief period Of Is or l6 months
which has elapsed since its adoption. When
it first went into operation every interest Of
the country was Frustrated. Commerce was
languishing, Agriculture without encourage.

gical change which in little more than a
twelvcmonth the Wing Tariff has effected
Confidence has suddenly revived Enter.
prize marches boldly forth in her old tracks,
or alleady seeks new ventures; Manufac.
lures are thriving abundantly; Agriculture
rcjoices in an improved Home Market and
the sails Of Commerce are distended by
fresh and favoring gales. That this is no
mere fancy sketch, there are facts at hand
to prove. The public Securities OF our
State and National Governments have ad-
some even 100 per cent. within the last
year. The export of Cotton goods from
January LIST, 1913, to September LIST, 1912,
was 12,l76 packages. From January LIST
to September lst, 1543, it amounted 10 &c.
578 packages This large export, says
Hunts Merchants Magazine for October,
has exhausted stocks, and stimulated
great activity among the manufacturers,
many of ,rhom aOork double time. The extract
at the head of this article, from Georgia
paper, shows how this increased activity
among the manufacturers at the North, and
ne consequent improvement of the Home
Market, is beneftng the Southern planters.
And as TO commerce, the revenue accrued at
the port of New York, for the third quarter
of the present year, is S4,494,000, against
81, 1872, 1877, received in the third quarter of
the previous year! ~"
Are not these facts conclusive as to the be-
neficial workings of the Protective Tariff
upon every interest OF the country! Gan
moro complete demonstration be offered Of
the excellence of this browning measure of
Wing policy! And will not the Wings Of
our land show by their votes that they ap.
preciate the importance of this great meas.
ure, and that they will confide in those only
who proclaim themselves its staunch, in.
