Errifs OF the Tarifr-nIanufaetures of the
West.
We are daily meeting with facts illustrating
the benign influences of our present Tariff and
the rapid march of Improvement in our Country
under its auspices. The following facts we
learned from Western gentleman day or two
since.
AT or near the village of Hamilton, the capital
of Butler County, Ohio the Miami River has lust
been thoroughly damned 50 as to turn all its
waters when low into a raceway, on which fall
is obtained OF twcnty-cight feet, with water enough
to carry one hundred and fifty run of stones. The
whole cost of the watcr.works is about $3.50 900;
and, although the enterprise is of very recent COM
mencement, already two cotton factories, a WOODEN
factory, and five or six heavy grist-mills going
up on this water privilege, while thcrcls abundant
power for many times the number. The loca-
ton is directly on the Miami Canal, requiring
but short cut to load and unload Wheat, Flour,
Cotton, &C. directly from the Canal into the fac
tories and mills the distance is but twenty-five
miles from Cincinnati, a city Of seventy thousand
inhabitants, or as large as Boston was in $780,
and Coal, Iron, &c. can be delivered here from
the Ohio as cheaply as above high-water mark in
Cincinnati. Cotton from below can be delivered
at the factories cheaply in New Orleans.
All this is in the midst of rich, wel-settled
thrifty Farming Country, where Provisions cost

while Cotton and nearly every other material is
much cheaper. Every thing, therefore, conspires
to Justify the confident belief that here the ounda-
ton has been laid of City destined to rival the
great Eastern metropolis Of Manufacturing.
The advantage of such enterprise to the
whole surrounding region cannot be overcast
mated 1t will increase the value of all fixed
property and nearly double that of Labor and its
products 1t will tend to counteract the dispro-
portion of the sexcs-the excess of Males in the
West, of Females in the East, which is now
great, and greatly to be regretted 1t will reduce
the price generally of whatever the ncighborng
people have to buy and increase that of the arti-
cles they now produce in excess, tending TO pro-
duce wholesome equilibrium in all things.
This is one instance among a hundred of SINH
lar benign enterprises now approaching their con-
summation under the genial shelter of our New
Tariff. The hundreds would be thousands, if the
hope that the present Tariff will be permanent
were ripened to a certainty. TENNESSEE has
secured us for this winter, and our National In
dustry will for season expand and prosper.
But let Loco ocoism win victory in 1874, and
we shall again commence the downward career
of arrangement, obstruction, distress and ruin.
