The Wings would be glad to rid themselves Of por-
ton of the cha grin which they feel account Of the
recent influx specie, by pretending that the specie
flows into the country simply IN consequence OF the
Tariff act passed by the late Coon Congress. Their
theory upon the subject is, that Protective Tariff so
Effects our dealings with foreign nations as to turn the
balance of trade in favor, and that that balance
comes to us specie. Let Us test the correctness OF
this theory by reference to past experience
Our first Tariff law, upon this wing protective plan,
was passed in 1916. II failed TO satisfy the manuiactu.
rers and al their solicitation Congress, IN $780, pass
ed second law imposing higher protective duties In
1874 Henry Clay took the leading part in procuring
the passage of a third law raising the duties still high
er. The camor for more protection was again heard
in 1928 and quieed by the passage OF fourth law,
which the South He'd "lhe bill of denominations ln
1892 there was fifth trial of legislation upon the SUBJ
iect and portion of the Union began to feel the Tariff
bu,hen severely, that IT sought relief IN nullIfca
ton Then came the famous "Compromse act,
which vas introduced by Henry Clay, because he pre-
lerred that his high protective system should die I'm.
gerng death, rather than sudden one This act pro-
vded that through gradual process OF reduction for
the space of ten years the duties should by the year
1912 be brought down to d revenue instead OF pro-
tec,ve standard In 1912, Wing Congress, falsliy-
ing the pledges upon which was elected repudaled
the solemn compact Of the Compromise law, and pass
ed Tariff rvalling in the rate OF taxation It IN
poses the laboring mass, the bill oil 1873.
The reader will perceive, that If We take the series
of wears from 1921 10 1912 inclusive, and divide into
Two equal periods, the first of these periods will be enc
during which the of dnles constantly ascend
ing or increasing, and the second will be one during
which the rate of duties constantly descending
or decreasing Now If it the nature OF high pro
tectve Tariff TO cause an influx of specie into the
country the records of the Treasury Department
ght show that specie in fact constantly flow
ing IN during the ascending period, from 1921 10 1881
and that it ceased TO flow during The descending pc
Rod, from 1879 TO 1912.
On the 18th of June, 1S42, in compliance with
resolution of House of Representatives, there was
communicated TO Congress official statement from
the Treasury Department of the imports and exports
of gold and silver coin and bullion, from lo2l to lo4l
inclusive From this statement derive the facts in
the following table Of the Of imports exports
of bullion specie, for each year in the period OF an
asce ndlpp protec liye Tariff:

What can be more conclusive than the facts here
exhibited 1t is seen that during the first seven years
OF descending Tariff, here rapid influx Of spe-
Gle TO the amount of ifty-6ve mlllions-that, in the
last four years, when the Tariff was at its lowest
stages of descent only eight millions could be driven
out Of The country By rotten and mschievous credit
system, and that during the entire period of eleven
years the total excess of imports amounted 10 forty
millions Of dollars
The fact, that additional amount of twenty mil.
lions of dollars, in gold and silver has arrived within
the last six or eight months, is highly gratifying the
friends OF sound currency Let it not be attributed,
however, TO wrong IL the Coon Congress
had had the least suspicion that their Tariff act would
have brought so much hard mnney into the country,
they would never have passed it.
The story, which the Wings raise about it, is
pure humbug. The voice Of experience, now present
ed in this article, declares, that high Protective Tariff
has not the tendency which is claimed for it. The
real cause of the recent influx Of specie is best
planned by the remarks of General Jackson that upon
the suppression of Bank paper, specie would flow in
the tide Columbus Statesman
