A cotton Planter carries 10 New Or
leans a thousand dollars worth of cotton,
FIR which he desires coarse cotton goods,
ION which there is a duty of 100 per cent.
ad ralorem, as is the case under the pres
ent tariff) to the amount of a thousand
dollars. The importing merchant will tell
him. Il want your cotton, and can let
YOU have the quantity of goods you desire,
Zone thousand dollars WORTHY the duty IS
not paid on them, however; therefore, if
you will pay the duty on them, which is
thou,a dollars, will give you an order
for them" The Cotton Planter would an
swer, "this is all the cotton possess, can
therefore purchase only five hundred dol
lars worth of your cotton goods" In this
instance is il obvious that the price or val
ne Of cotton is exactly reduced one half to
its producer? That is, his cotton is worth
nly FIVE hundred dollars under the free
trade system. But the duties on all goods
tonnt amount TO 100 per cent. Hit were
so per cent. he would only lose two hun.
dred and fifty dollars; at % per cent. enc
hundred and twenty five. These caIcula.
tons we give as our reasons why pro-
tectiye tariff dimnishes the price Of cot
ton. We regard $1,000 worth Of goods,
the same thing in value as $lO00 in cash.
The average duty of the present tariff rs es-
,imated at about 40 per cent. and therefore
a duty of 500 would he levied upon the
farmer or the merchant, who imported
$1,000 worth of goods.
The same is truen regard to any article
of barter: take for instance a thousand
bushels Of wheat. 1t is sent to market in
exchange for goods, which by the tariff
are subject to one hundred per cent. duty,
and the result will be the same asif he had
sent but five hundred, provided there were
no duty on the articles received in ex-
change Nor does it alter the case if
cash he received for the wheat and ex-
changed for the protected articles. The
result is the same, hundred per ceIt. comes
out of the Purchasers in succession, and
he last purchaser and consumer pays the
ex .hanres. No wonder that in all the re-

One OF the most extraordinary instan.
ces Of the power of his eloquence was his
speech at Harrodsburg, in defence of Muir
dough and others. Ga that occasion, Rel l.
ding, the fomentor of The atfray, appeared
as prosecutor Against lin as the real
murderer, the orator directed his most tn
vcnomed shafts The first effect produc-
ed on his victim was an expression Of in
solent defance--the next, of resentment
hut as the storm Of sarcasm AMI denun'
citation thickened in violence and incrcas
ed in fury, hurting like hail around his de-

er led him to the brink Of eternity and
pointed out the torments prepared for his

with emotion, and finally, un bic 10 control
his agony of shame and humiliation, bu-
ried his face in his hands and Hurst into
