think it very hard they cannot have the whole

ton from other places, and not a bale will she
buy from Us! Then, it appears to US, that our
policy is, 70 foster our own manufactures that,
i case she affects this object, VI can have a
home and a sure market for our ownproducts.
But, We have heard laboring men and me-
chanics complain that the Tariff is the means Of
reducing their wagesl Well, sirs, suppose the
Tariff is broken down-what thena You say
your WagesWill increase. But, by what means!
Why, perhaps, for a few years, our cotton grow.
ers would realize a few more dollars on the bale
for their cotton, and you a few more cents on the
day for your labor. But, then, what would YOU
have TO pay for your clothing and living? Do
you not know, that when raw cotton was from
ten to twelve cents per pound, cotton shifting
was sixteen cents per yard, and eef six to eight
cents perpound2 Now good ton shifting can
be had at ten cents, and beeflat three or four
cents per pound Corn, flour, iihiskey, and eve.

that may result from it. So we shall nohtire il
