Some of the wings contend that agricul.
ture is as much benefited by protective laws
as manufactures, because those employed
in The latter, when prosperous, are better
able 10 bny the produce of the farmer.
This perhaps is very true, but ifthe ar
gument hold, our government should take q
balloon flight over the Atlantic and pro.
tect the French and English manufa co-
ries, for they are the principal customers
Of our cotton planters.
This position, then, unless so carried
out as 10 include all those who consume
what we produce, just proves the very
converse of what it used to prove. The
foreign markets are those upon which the
cotton grower depends. Now, if by pro.
tective laws we keep out of The country
tho fabrics of Europe, we necessarily
render those who make them, according
to this reasoning unable to purchase the
raw material Hence the producer must
suffer.
But taking the argument 10 be valid one,
it does not prove any thing either Tor Tie
justice or expectancy of the proposition.
Because, in the first place, it does not les
sen that objection TO protection which
consist in its being reward granted to
certain cllsses without including all of
them; and in the second place, because, if
those who are protected were 10 consume
about five times as much as they do, it
would not afford drain for the production
of the Others. Just for a moment look at
the comparative values ofthese cIasses.-
The amount OF capital employed in agri-
culture and commerce is $2,OSS, 6SO,452;
the number of persons 4,340,3S6. or
this number, hardly one in ten thousand
receives benefit from protection.
The amount Of capital employed in
manufactures is $234,642,l76; and the
number of persons 265,632. So, accord.
ing to this new wing argument, these
265 thousand protected people consume
all that The four millions of the unprotect.
ed people produce. To do this, it will be
admitted that they would have 10 eat

But as to The assertion that high tariffs
produce low prices in consequence of pro-
lection thence afforded 10 articles Of
American production, how comes il that
The imported articles which do|not come
INTO competition with onr own products,
such as wine, silks, coffee, tea, &C., have
also immensely diminished in p,ice since
the year 1916? We find with such arti.
cles as these, no room for dminution in
price TO be caused by home competition,
our superior skill. &c, to which our op-
ponents ascrlbe the reduction in such ar
ticles as are manufactured in this country.
The real facts are, that goods are now
cheaper than they were formerly, say in
1915, or at subsequent period, not on
account OF, but in spite Of the tariff, as
could readily be seen, were all foreign
trade entirely prohibited, and the entire
body Of the consumers left at The mercy of
the small number Of manufacturers. The
causes for the present reduction in prices
are manifest. Some of them can be as
cribed to the late wonderful discoveries
and Improvements making in science, as
applied to the arts, and in lahor-saving
machinery-to the lessening of costs and
charges in handling and transporting the
material in its raw state, and as manufac-
tured-to the reduction, and ofthe neces.
saries which the Iaborer requires for his
support--and, perhaps, most Of all, recent.
ly, TO the appreciation in our currency,
now generally at par over the whole coun.
try. The fairest way to settle this mat
ter is TO give list of dutabIe articles,
with their prices, at their places of export
in this country. This we shall give in
subsequent paper, with an accompany ing
of prices during the periods

The tendency of wing doctrine and the
inclination of wing statesmen may be seen
in the fact that The latter, while asserting
that they advocate ga strict revenue tariff,
which shall only incidentally protect
American industry" yet argue all the
while as directly in favor of protection
pr Sc, as did The monopolists of 1871
They then endeavorcd to show by ref.
erence to the tariff acts of 1928 and 1882,
In the same manner that their followers
now use the act of 1912, that, in the Ian.
guage of one of our cit" papers, "lhe i'm
position of particular duty never aug.
ments the price Of the article bearing the
duty 10 any thing approaching the extent
Of the duty imposed, if at ALL" The ar
gument then used was the same that is
now resorted to, "prices have fallen, while
duties have increased, and of consequence
the lessening in price must be ascrbed
to the co.existing advance in duties" II
this be indeed so, the advocates of free
trade have long warred against their own
interests, and should change places with
the advocates Of a protective tariff, the
American manufacturers, who appear
equally 10 have mistaken their own poll
cy. But We rather incline TO the belief
that the crowds of manufacturers who
yearly besiege the halls of congress with
their demands for protection, and their
representative within those halls, are the
best judges of their own inability 10 main
n in hAK,
other quarter. If they cannot abtan
support from their unaided labor, and
manage to live and prosper as they do uu-
der our existing laws, it is evident that
they derive from abroad that maintcn.
ance which they cannot procure at home.
and the only question is, who endures the
burden of their support?

Commercial Treaty.--The London
Herald, at the close of an article on the
subject Of a commercial treaty between
Great Britain and this country, makes the
following statement:
Mr.. Duff Green-the gentleman 10
whom we have already referred, who was
formerly connected with a Washington
journal, and who enjoys, we are told, the
Presidents contidence--being lately about
to proceed 10 Europe, was put BY Mr.. Ty.
Ter into complete possession of his views,
and strongly recommended by the Presi-
dent to the American resident at this
court. Mr.. Everett was indeed directed
by Mr.. Tyler to present Mr.. Green TO Sir
Robert Peel in reference 10 this subject.
Mr.. Green had not, however, any official
character or powers, and his mission was
simply TO impress on our government, Pre-
sident Tyler's oponion, and to express his
vii ingness to open negotiations at Wash.
ington. Mr.. Green has, we hear, been
placed ia communication with Sir Robert
Peel; but it has, we are informed, been
minated 10 him that as he is not possessed
of any diplomatic powers or character, no
expression Of opinion or reply to his state
mens can be given by the responsible
servants of the British Crown. These
statements have been heard with attention
and coustcsy, and there tho matter ends.

The following tribute TO the character
and public services of this gifted and emf.
nent statesman is extracted from an adj
dress delivered by Wi linn L. Walker,
Esq =, at recent celebration of the 4th Of
July, New Carthage, Madison PARISH
Louisiana:
"Among the names of those to whom
history will assign splendid place as
benefactors of their country, and orna-
mems of The age, is that of distinguished
citizens of the Stale Of South Carolina
who, for the period of the third of cen.
tury has stood as the landmark of his coun-
try's genius and has Illustrated the annals
of our national history by a career of the
most useful and brilliant public services.
Amidst all the trying scenes through
which it has been his fortune to pass, dur
ing an eventfuI public life, the conduct OF
Mr.. Calhoun has heen marked by lofty
bearing, an unsulIied integrity, high
sense OF national ustlce, and an cxrlu.
sIve and selfdevoting patriotism. Al
ways having one leading and pcrvadng
object in view, the true interest of the
whole Union; he has been emphaticaIly
the champion of constitutional freedom,
the enemy of sectional legislation, nd the
un'iring advocate ola perfect equalization
of public benefits and burdens among all
classes of the people, and all parts OF the
country. And he now stands in the full
ness of his power in support OF those great
principles of American liberty, equal
rights; q strict construction of The consti-
tuition; the Limitation of the powers of the
Federal Government within their prescrib-
ed and legitimate sphere; the rights Of the
States within their respective jurisdiction,
and Incorporating hostility to all inter-
ference with any of their domestic institu
tons; total and unqualified separation
OF the Government from its cotrupting
connection with banks and mercantile
speculatlon; a radical reform OF the bank
ing system ofthe country and rest)ra.
ton ofthe currency TO its true, recogniz.
ed, constitutional standard of value; no
of any portion ofthe national
revenues, either for the purpose of sus
tanning the credit, or indirectly as
Stunning the debts improvidenty contracted
by the States; no more taxes than are he
cessary for cheap and economical ad-
of the Government; no legis-
lative aid to any branch of business TO The
injury of any other; trade and industry lett
free 10 seek their own channels, and the
protection ofgovernment to every citizen
in his rights and lawful pursuits. These
are the living doctrines of our political
system, the cardinal virtues of American
and so long as they shall
be preserved in their purity, they wi / ad-
vance the prosperity of the country, pro-
mote the happiness of the people, and Sc
cure the blessings of liberty TO millions yet
Intorn. A grateful people will yet re-
ward with the highest office in their gift,

Riots and BIoodShed in Cdnddd.-The
most serious riots have occurred lately in
Canada among the Iaborers upon the
Beauharnais Canal. The civil force be-
ing unable to quell them, small body oil
troops were called in, and the following
were the results, as stated in the Montreal
Courier the 10Th inst:
The riot act was read by Mr.. Crawford,
and the men warned to disperse; it was
answered in a volley of stones, and few
shots were fired, by one Of which one Of
he Dragons, was badly wounded. The
18th then free with blank cartridge, and
the effect of this injudicious measure was
as usual; it only gave confidence to the
mob, and they advanced in a body upon
the small body of military, firing as they
came. The order was Immediately given
to the dragons 10 fire with balls and
charge, at the same time the 18th poured
in volley and advanced with The bayonet.
Eight men fell dead, and the wounded lay
in all directions. The rioters fled precip-
