Workings of the Black
Tariff on coarse wool.

We are not among those who were very
much dissatisfied with the present tariff on
coarse wool as it came from the hands Of its
makers. II was the best thai could be wres-
ted from the opposition. Ii was far prefer
able 10 any thar had previously existed. If
properly executed none but coarse can be
imported without paying the highest rate of
duty, and much higher than hitherto impos>
ed. Since it wen, into operation the impor
tation, OF foreign coarse woods have been
reduced from IA millions TO about two mil.
lions. The prices of all grades of the home
clips have risen Course woods do not come
much in competition with any wool which
our farmers wish TO produce, and so far
as Their importation is necessary to keep the
manufactures of coarse s;ufs in operations
is an actual ard highly important benefit

" again entering the a.

Recently it is true it has become less par

state in the union. So strong has been the
current of popular feeling in its favor that
whenever resolution has been moved in
the Legislature, by a wing in favor of pro.
lection (for who ever heard of loco doing
any such thing.) no loco has dared 10 wag
his tongue, or cast his vote against it. But
the old eaven infused into the party BY
Gen. Jackson when for political purposes
he yielded tie country up TO the scourge Of
southern dictation, and suffered the compro.
mise bill to be forced upon US, has never
ceased TO operate upon tie well disciplined
leaders and the loco presses of the state down
to The prescn, moment. Even within re-
