JuNIUS ON THE TARIFF.

This is the ;hird of a series of Tracts
by the author OF g The Crisis of The Coun

had to 40 with the Tippecanoe coufict in
1910. We quote the summing up III

small thing. The propositions she'll out

WHAT WE HAVE PROVED.
1t will probably be admitted that the
following iaings, among others, have been
established.
/. That the great bulk of the trade Of
this country is domestic.
>. That buying too much in our foreign
trade has been the cause of all our com
mercial and currency difficulties.
3. That ii is impossible that such diff
cuI,es should arise from the action Of do
nestle trade.
4. That this buying too much draws the
specie out Of the country, and undermlnes
the currency.
5. That the only way TO prevent this

tain restrictive and protective policy.
G. That the only parties benefited by
this immense injury TO the country, are
foreign Governments, foreign manutac'
turers, and few importing merchant;
among ourselves.
7. That we can never have foreign
trade profitable to the country, OF other
wise than injurious, till this practice o
buying too much of foreign nations be sup
pressed.
s. That the Importance Of foreign trade
is commonly overra,ed, and that American
self independence is more safe reliance
0. That the products of manufacture
are cheapened, and the wages of labor en-
HANGED by protective duties.
10. That both American labor an
American capital arc victims of Europea
capital and labor, on the platform OF IRE
trade.
IL. That American freedom and indt
, pendence are put in Jeopardy by our L
reign trade, as heretofore conducted.

81 II has been repeatedly charged,
by The Raleigh Register and other Wing
prints, that we are a deserter from the
Wing ranks. Ifthcy mean by this charge
that we have abandoned any of the great
principles Of our political creed, we meet
them at once aud boldly with flat and
positive denial"
The above is copied from the Standard
of the 18th inst. We may have been a.
mcng those who have charged the Editor
with being deseiter from The Wing ranks,
but whether or not, let that rest. The
Editor attempts TO exonera.e himself from
the charge by saying "fhat if they meen

that he fayors the measures advocated by

stance, decided Clay man is said 10 have

know what Mr.. Calhoun asserts TO be his

Mr.. Clay advocates a Bank, q Tariff CIV
ing incidental protection, Distribution, &c.
Well, how in the name Of common sense
can an advocate of Mr.. Clay change over

say he has not changed some of the "great

versa with a Calhoun man. If the Editor
Of the Standard would explain the modas

come better speed in satisfying bis read

"a Question for 7arriGies.-If high duties
make low goods, what scale Of duties would ena-
bic the manufacturers to give away their goods,
aud make profit ?"
The following question is copied from
the Joint Stock Concern of this place.
The sapient Editor thought when he was
penning the query he was putting quite
poser. But it will be hard for him TO
make Tarlllites believe that such a query
applies 10 their theory. What Tarlliiies
contend for, is this, when foreign articles
arc excluded the competition at home will
keep down the price-this is what expert
cnce has taught. That high duties makes
low good is figmen, that hes been hatch
ed in the brain Of some designing dema-
gogue for effect.

system Of well adjusted protective duties
which has produced these happy results IS
also operating to fill the Treasury with an
abundant revenue.
Practical results often overthrow the
most ingenious theories. The opponents
of protection have been in the habi, OF con-
tending that the moment protection begins
in a tariff of impost duties, revenue must
cease to q corresponding extent. Hence,
according to this theory, protection and
revenue are in conflict and cannot be re-

satisfies the friends of protection and at

THE Joint Stock Concern in
speaking of the Literary Fund makes a
statement which is absolutely false. In
speaking Of the different changes that the
law relative to this fund had undergone,
it says,
L" Rut the Wing Legislature of 1910 aud IL
went still farther, and made the distribution &C
cording 10 federal gopalati0n This cheats the
Western counties out of nearly one. fourth of
their share of the Literary Fund. The main
body of the negro population OF the State is in
the eastern counties and every negro there draws
a share Of the Literary Fund, as we'll rs tic free
white voter and white child of the west"
Now, what makes federal population
The Constitution makes that plain--t is
three-fhhs Of the slaves and free negroes
added 10 the white population. For in
stance, if county contained 1000 white
persons and 500 slaves that country would
only be entitled to draw for 1900 which is
its federal population. The Editor made
this statement either through ignorance
or desire to pervert lacts--he may take
either horn of the dilemma he choses.-
We cannot lay our hands on statement
of what each county receives or we believe
we could satisfy the people of the West
that they are the gamers, by the change
a, any rate they are not very great loosers.

Licentious Books.

b. writes us to say that there are portions
(which he instances) of Shakspeares writings as
lewd as Ninon L'Enclos.' If this were true,lf
would not Justify the dissemination OF the latter.
But it is not true in the sense required bv the argu-
ment There is much Of grossness and lawless pas
sion in Shakespeare and we have long since e1pres-
sed our dissent from the general opinion that MS
writings are morally ceptionable, but none VIII
pretend thatit is the great object OF Shakespeare to
scoff at Chastity as monkish superstition, decry
Marriage as calling bondage, and commend un-
bounded Licentiousness as the dictate of enllght'
ened wisdom and of generous freedom. Such IS
the purpose of The Story of Ninon L'Enclos,
diversified only by the deadliest hatred of Religion
We have looked into no book SO utterly abomina-
ble It is not coarse nor obscene, but is Just such
book as hardened libcrtine would choose to
put in the hands of one whom he wished to ruin.
We have no doubt that this work has been used
extensively to corrupt the morals Of Youth of both
sexes, and that thousands are now wasting away
in keenest anguish on beds of want and wretch
edness, overwhelmed with selfloathing and re-
morse, and looking forward to grave Of shame
and despair, to which this vile harlot's sophistry
and falsehood have conducted them. And hereis
a fresh issue of many thousand copies, cheap as
the Father of Evil could wish. to lure another
generation Of the young and simple into the way
which takes hold on Death. Ought not the pub
fishers especially he of the moral Sum to make
reparation to the public for the grievous wrong
they have inflicted
IS: We perceive that The Plebeian advertises
this depraved and corruptng book as for sale at its
counter! This is what might be expected from
the character and general tone of that paper.
We see advertisements Of volume after volume
which, we infer from their titles, are of similar
character to this in The Sun and kindred papers
Can nothing be done to stop this flood of llcen-
tiousness
