"due regard was had 10 the wants Of the

sent Such has been the beneficial opera
iiun Of the tariff system commenced by
Mr. Calhoun in 1916, that manufactures
OF various kinds have been reared up in
this country, and the machinery has been
brought to such perfection by the insenui-
iy Of our coun,rymen, that almost every
article is furnished a, greatly reduced pri-
ses-ihe inevitable effect OF successful
competition with foreign manufactures.
While depending upon them, the prices
would be high; bu, now that we can help
ourselves. the foreign manufacturer is obi.
ged to sell cheap.
Bu' the Standard is as ready 10 cem-
plain OF tow duties as he is of high. "Ber.
ries, nuts and vegetables used principally
IN dyeing o. composing dyes, and all dye
woods in sticks" are duty free, and he
'tlamphan,ly asks how many poor men

use dye.siuiTs," The editor IS not so
much a stranger in Orange as no, 10
""ow that principal portion OF The cili-
zens Of This county are clothed in fabrics
made and dyed at their own homes. The
editor Is also well aware That the policy
Of admitting dye-stuffs duty free w's adj
'ocaed for the purpose of enabling the
manufacturer TO sell his goods n, a less
price, aud was full as much for the bcne-
nj ol the consumer as the maker Of them.
