IMPUDENT HuMBUG.

IN the preamble TO the resolutions adopted by the
Federalsts in their magnificent meeting at the 'as'
court the following set down as one oil the Sco"
principles of that party, VIZ -,
..5tb Tariff for revenue, discriminating with n
view to protect commerce. agriculture, manufactures
and the other great interests OF the country aSas'
foreign labor aud capital aud especially IN favor OF ar
tices of necessity, used by the poor
"a Tariff for revenue, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, ana

of this splendid producton or whether the anihot
Solomon or Wanda bn, certain We are, he eithrr
deserves patent for his impudence or diploma Tor
his pnorance Will this learned and erude writer on
political economy inform US what he means by "d's-
eliminating in favor of articles of necessity, used oy
the poor - The Tariff adopted By the Federaists
during the late Congress, imposes duty or tax, up
on blankets, SALT, IRON, SUGAR, course ,coolfenS,
shoes &c and yet this bare-faced attempt rs made
to gull and humbug the people into the belief, that
the Federal party in favor Of discriminating
"n facor of articles of necessity, used by the poor
The truth 10, The discrimination is all against the
poor and in favor of The rich The very end and OBJ
ject of this discriminating Tariff is To enable the
wealthy manufacturer obtain higher prices for hs
goods than he could other do There are thousands
in the world willing and anxious 10 sell "the poor ar
tices much lower than the Northern manufacturer
compeis them to pay But no: thu Northern manu-
facturer can't afford TO sell cheap, and hence this
Wing Tariff, the object of which Is to exclude all To-
reign competition from the market, and thus lay us al
the feet Of Northern masters But this rs not the
worst effect Of this charitable discrimination in favor
of the poor'- cuts up the foreign trade of the L )
BY the roots and thus destroys the foreign markets ia"
our agricultural products We refuse 10 buy Eng
lish goods; and England in return, refuses obuy our
wheat ,ur, and tobacco. Consequently We must look
10 the home market for the sale Of products But
the home consumption equal to ono fourth o the
products The result that the price OF oil our staple
commodities is reduced TO mere song and IN tins way,
while the Northern manufacturer IS enabled to sell US
his goods for uha,e he pleases charge he ena
bled buy agricultural products for one.hai their
real value.
Such are some of the beauties Of this Federal plan
for discriminating in taror of articles consumed by
the poor -

braces the whole action Of the 'back tariff of ISIS -
Mark the coincidence The export fell off at every

The average for the years was ten per cent less
than the preceding years. This was the 6eneht
to the tobacco planters of the high retaliave tar'i
In 1884 the compromise tariff took effect year after
year. as foreign goods came freely here, to purchase
tobacco only did the quantity OF exports increase,
but the price also increased matter OF course, under
the demand, notwithstanding that cotton and other ar
tlcles fell.
Here is pretty conclusive proof that exclusion OF
foreign goods from our markets destroys our export
trade than any foreign mpostions upon American
produce Let all agrculturiss ponder upon this fact.
The table also indicates that the quantity sent 10
to each of these heavily taxed countries has steadily
increased THIS has mol been brough, abouthy reducing
the prices because the prices have advanced The ave
rage price, the first ten years was cts per 10
and in the last years, 40 100 cents per pound; an
advance OF ten per cent
This advance of price proves incon,es'Ibly that the
supply has not kept pnce with the demand. Va what
pretence IT, then, that politicians set up this hue
and cry about foreign taxes, and appeal 10 them
why yet uniaxed people should be robbed,
