ANOTHER ENEMY or THE F,rvrps

When, the other day, enumerated the burdens
iad upon the farmers b. the tariff which certain
po'''cans th'hk 81 moderate and wise, thought
That we had completed the catalogue Looking over
American idnhrdt.urer, aho, BY why
Government of Canada passes law shutting out the
American farmer from market in Canada. Read
the following passage from the Watertown Jefersc-
MAN
ga PROTECTIVE TARlrr-The farmers Of Jefferson
county are beginning TO feel the full benefits OF tie
protective .rlf imposed by the Canadian Government
for the exclusive benefit Of the Canadian farmers
This tariff high TO amount 10 prohibition, and
adopted avowed by some Of the members OF
the Provincial Parliament by way of retail alton upon
the Amrlcal people for the tariff OF 1872 so much ex
tolsd by the Wings.
Under the free trade system the farmers Of Jefer
son found ready cash market at Kingston for nearly
oil their surplus produce, which was sold nj hand
profit. BY the thrift, which goes into opera
ton in January, all this surplussage is virtually shut
out and less profitable mark found elsewhere, or to
remain on hand dead loss"
Thus are the ters oil the soil ground between the
upper and the neither mill-s,one-by our Government
side, and foreign Government on the other.
Our own Congress first cracks them into fragments,
and then the Canadian Parliament, emulous of the
example, and determined no, to be oui-done, brushes
them into powder. All the loss, in this warfare of COM
mercal mischief and CONNIE rcial revenge falls upon
them When the new Tariff was passed, we warned
its authors of TIE retaliation it woult provoke. But
what cared tney Tor the warning, knowing rs tney uiu,
that the injury would not fall upon them The manu-
scurer suffers no, by the law which excludes the pre-
duce Of the American cultivator from the Canadian
market; the contrary, be gamer. The low price
of al the fruits OF The EARTH caused by shutting out
the farmer from his usual market enables the manuac
turer 10 lower the wages of his workmen. The work
man can purchase the of life at less cost
he can subsst upon less money, and therefore, can
bear a reduction of his wages for the benefit OF his
| employer.
II is no wonder, therefore, that the trainers of the
black Tariff deaf to all objections founded upon
the certainty Of retaliation from foreign countries The
more OF this retaliation, the better for the manuac-
turers The more the producers are srai!ercd, the
more thew fpresaw the manufacturers would be en-
riched To them the danger Of rel iliaon was an ar
gumeL in its favor which led them TO press it with
| tie enrnestncss.
In low farce, person is often introduced for the
express purpose of being kicked and cuted for TIE
public amusement. He generally appears as person
in some mental ston, who takes showers OF resound
ing kicks and bullets, not only from his master, but
his masters rival and occasionally from the byestind
ere to the great entertainment of the galleries. How
long do the turner's Of tins country mean to submit.
