THE PATRIOT AND THE TARIFF.

FEJ2 The last Patriot gives column of groans
or growls about the Tariff, low prices of wool, beef
sc. &c. or course the Patriot should complain, and
argue that the largely increased duties Of the
Tariff have not improved prices-ergo, high duties
are no protection-down aoitk the Iari6y That is
the argument which the Patriot is holding out to the
South while it aims to disaffect the North on the
ground that the Tariff has not accomplished the good
which its friends designed. In this policy our neigh
Dor is somewhat Ingenious, but he can't succeed in
cheating the friends Of protection, They know that
the large increase protective duties, given by the
Wings in spite of locofocosm have not depressed
prices. That is absurdity too monstrous to be
crammed into the midst Of intelligent Vermonters.
Not is not the Tariff which has depressed prices,
but they have continued depressed in spite Of the
Tdrif,and by nothing much as by the fruits Of To-
cocoism first, in destroying sound national curren
cy-and second, in carrying majority ofthe
Congress. Manufacturers and merchants, at home
and abroad know that John Tyler and the ocofocos
will ruin the Tariff Our manufacturers therefore,
dare not stir an inch, except when they purchase
their material at the very lowest ra:es--for they
have no assurance, even ola single year, Of
getting remunernting prices. There are other
causes, too, ofwhich we may speak by and by
Udtchman.

From the Boston Mercantile Journal.

!E3SWe rejoice that the papers in different parts
dthe country ARE beginning to assume more cheer
faI tone, and speak encouraSingly of the business
prospects of the future. There can be little doubt
that we have got to the bottom of the Wheel and
whichever way it revolves, must look upacard. Mon

domestic is increasing in vnlue and confidence among
business seems about to be restored. The Buff
ao Commercial Advertiser, IAN ably conducted sheet,
recently improved in its external appearance and
larged, under date of May 3, contains the following
paragraph on this subject:
1.-THE prospect ahead. An Of general prosperi-
y has at length dawned upon the people of the Uni
ted States. The darkness of long and dismal
night is yielding its gloomy dominion to the first
rays Of rising sun. The indication of this auspic

with its cheering influence. Six per cent. Govern
ment stocks that went for months begging in the
streets, thirteen per cent above par. The
bonds of this and other States untainted with the
grand larceny Of reputation, have experienced
like advance. Our commerce with other nations is
on the increase, and instead of showing balance a
gainst us, it exhibits the gratifying fact that our ex-
ports exceed imports, and many millions of specie
are coming in from abroad, to remain and form the
substantial basis of circulating medium adequate TO
the growing wants of the country AS nation, long
and severely have we been chastsed for wicked

he whole amount ofthe receipts into the Treasury,
from every source, during the two years the Wings
yero in possession Of the legislative power With
,be resources OF the country thus morfgaged, the
lybps set themselves to work TO introduce economy
into the public affairs, and to reduce the public ex.
nerdiures to such sum as should be sufficient for
the lust wants of the country, and prudent and re-
pubican administration of the government In these
efforts so far from being aided by the Executive they
we're met by enlarged estimates from the Depart
ments, and increased demands for money, which the
continued irmness of the Wings with difficulty com
peled them to reduce within the bounds of decent
moderation. Against these obsta ces, and without
cooperation, the Wing Congress brought down the
appropriations for the year and half ending the first
of July 1874, certified by the Clerk of the House,
to S24 400 1855, which is at the rate Of sixteen mil
lions year, and seventeen millions per annum less
than the yearly average expenditure of Martin Van
Buren, What amount then, more than was neces-
say, has Loco Focosm cost the country in the ad-
miistraton Of the Government alone!-In The four
wears Of Van Buren, sixty eight millions Of dollars
and in the eight Of Jackson, more than hundred
and thlrysix millions; making two hundred and four
millions the least sum; an equal to the in
debtedness of all the States, and yet every Loco Fo

erests of the people, and with having accomplished
nothing for the good Of the country! This useless

were it appotoned according to the census of 1910,
would amount to one dollar head to every man,
woman and child, white and black, bon and free, in
the United States. To this extent has Loco focosm
taxed the people for twelve consecutive years, and
this extent have the people been relieved ofther bur
dens by Wing Congress. But this, neither Loco
Focosm nor Tylerism can appreciates; their doctrine
is that government is to be administered for the ben
eft of those in power, and that the public is goose
which it would be folly not to pluck. To the vctors
belong TO the spoils has long been the motto of Lo
cofocoism, and the greater their amount the more
powerful the incentive to obtain power An excssion
of officers and economy in the public affairs, is at
with this their fundamental principle of action.
By the multiplication of officers, and by the profuse
and proagate expenditure Of the public money, they
expect to rally the unprincpled and mercenary of all
parties to Their support and however much economy
may be found in their mouths, it is never exhibited
