ErFETs OF THE TARlFF.-The Journa
of Commerce, in its attempt 10 prove that
the tariff operated oppressively upon the
people, laid down the following among 9th
er "postulates.
When the duty prevents the article from
being imported, which but Cor the duty
would be imported, then the duty enhances
the price"
In the reply TO this we instanced the arr
ticle Of "nals'' on which the duty is nearly
or quite prohibitory and vet the article in
stead Of being "enhanced," has actually
fallen since the tariff went into operation.
We might cite too, the article Of spins" 90
which the duty is entirely prohibi'ory. And
yet the price ofpins, instead Of beng en-
HANGED by the duty is less now than IT was
before the tariff became law. Indeed The
adoption Of the tariff was the signal for ma
nv Of the American manufactures TO lower
their prices.-The reason is obvious. Un
der tho protective influence OF the'arlff
these manufactures have nothing TO fear
from foreign competition, but can depend
upon steady and rapidly increasing home
market. So far then as these wares were
concerned, the effect Of the tariff was, not
to enhance the price, as the Journal OF
Commerce contends, but to transfer the
manufacture Of the article from Europe to|
our own country. The consequence 10,
that much better article Of American
manufacture is furnished to the consumer
at less price than the inferior foreign
article cost before the tariff was adopted!
Could ere be . more signal illustration Of
the beneficial working Of the Wing tariff
And yet Martin Van Buren,, in his eager
desire to concilliaie Southern favor, de-
nounces and disclaims this GROWING meas
