work for twenty cents a div in England -
They must work here say the locos, for
twenty-five cents. or s,arvc, thus securing y
venue tariff Of 30 per cent, and s per cen,
for tn cost Of importation
Although the tariff is no, vet repealed
nor Polk in the Presidential char, such is
the expectation in this matter tina, the mar.

fallen and is still gong down The phila.
deli ha Gazette relates the following
A Loo Foco mannfa. ture of shoe:
called on a wholesale Wing dealer in that
article in our city few DAYS since, and
after ieering him about the rcsul, Of the g
lection and the d. feet Of Of Mr.. Clay, ia
formed him that he had brough, him thre,
hundred pairs more Of shoes decline Ia
king them, replied the dealer But Why
inquired the manufacturer with some sur
prise; you have taken all my shoes 70
years. Yes, replied the dealer, bnt ov
WI are going 10 have a reduction of the TIA
rid, and intend to import nv shocs. s.
the manufacturer departed and called on al
his Loco Foco dealers through the city
1ut none Of them wonld take his shoes. II
then came back again to his old VIII.
customer. and offered them at reduces
price, but he declined taking them.
There arc nineteen million pair OF feet I
be shod in the United States If Frcnc
md German cord wainers will make shoe
an boots required to cover all these hnma
le't, aud work a, one franc a day. and tn
boots and shoes so made can be imported a
three cents n pair, as they can be. wha
will the trade ofthis class Of mec hanics b
worth in this country, under system G
Free Trade
Shall we he told that the American cord
waners can afford 10 work at one franc an
n quaIter dav, when the labor ofal othe
mechanics and oftillers oflhc earth is r.
dnced in the same ratio ? Very well. ih
is the important experiment TO be tried.
is what we regard as the "Day Of Trial

who have voted for Polk and FRE
