'1'o "o' ''s way so successfully into public G..-
as the Tariff Law, that, with so much df6cr,. '''
in the face Of so many obstacles, was ,,iDn.r QUO
carried through by the last Congress Notv;,L,'
ing few Faults that may easily be remeded j.,
cess and its beneficial influence have Leen 'uc
BILE. or this every day is bringing us new eva.''
and additional testimonials. No more strikO, y
Of that need be asked, than the manner in wb;,1 y,
fierce opponents Of the late tariff law are Dow .,
their own words. See the Journal of Co,,n.,
now compelled to admit that its prophetic w,,..
of its bad effect in enhancing the prices of MAMMA,
lures, have all been fasiied and that BY tia .u
Of tariff ensuring safety to our mapu(acO,.,
we are now able to compete most succ,,sr,
ly with foreigners in their own markets.! This ~.
Of the most marked and speedy instances Of h.,.s
ever known in public measure And so savca,;,,
is its influence upon the opponents Of protection b,
they know not how to attempt TO explain away 90
clear refntation Of their false prophecies Tb.v
grope and stumble about like man in The dark M
knowing what new fact they may strike their head
against next.
So, too, with the New York Evening POSITIVE
hear but little now in that quarter, of its oNrepca,
ed cry Of repeal. For the present. at least, ,ha, wa,
cry is hushed. In its place we find passing indications
Of returning sanity In the N. Y. Evening Post Of
March 7th, may be found the following
Let us now see how this Tariff operates on ,oms
Of the manufactures Of iron: "Wood Screu, arc
charged with duty Of eighty per cent. ad ralOrsm
making the retail price not much less than double, il
imported under the present Tariff, oyer free impo
tation. But this article is prohibited and the dome
tic article will be sold instead causing the consumer
TO pay no tax, indeed, to the United States but lar
to the Eastern MANUFACTURER Of Ons.third the price,
for The privilege of using his inferior article Tho
domestic article is handsome 10 the eye, being made
by machinery; but accOun, Of the high price OLA
Dor, has to be made out Of wire, instead OF SOSgsd
blanks; and so will cause many carpenter TO sSSa
orer heads t,uisted off. Besides, the worm is %o
good for a carpenters use as the foreign article
These inconvenience are to be borne, FOR The PN'
Iege of contributing to the gotten gqins henaa-
ufacturers Of the East Sc. s.. &c.
How much the views of that paper havebeen since
changed, may be inferred from the following extract
from the same journal for May 18th, only about two
months after.

The same paper of Tuesday has the following ~.
