The new duties, ACCORDING 10 free Irade
statements of the British cost, will still be more
than 50 per cent. on ordinary qualities. On what
principle are these duties levied? Are not the
Committee perfectly aware that half so much du-
ty on this particular article would, by stopping
Our own Iron works. produce more Revenue p
How then can they condemn a Protective Tariff
yet support their own bill
The fact is, that this duty is arranged to prevent
a general rebellion in Pennsylvania and save the
State to Van Buren,. But it is effort and princi-
pie thrown away. The party in that State have
evinced, bv their tame servity through twelve
years of deadly hostility to Pennsylvania interests
by Van Buren, and his Free Trade allies, their
utter reckessness of their State interests, while
the People have about concluded to cut the whole
concern. They may as well, then. serve the Iron
interest the same as all others, for they cannot
coax Pennsylvania into voting again for Van Blu
rem. She has re ected him twice out of three
times that he has asked her vote, and she will do
it a third time IN 1914
The Comier.-It puzzles plain people to know
what is the cause of the new breaking out IN the
mouth of the Courier on the subject of Fourier
ism. That paper is not wont to waste Its pow
der on distractions or transcendental nohons-lt
looks with dignfed indifference on all mat
tiers which do not affect its own material
interests Yet those who have noted the late
passes between The Courier and The Tribune,
and will look into our press room on Thursday
and see the stock Of paper we PRINT on our Week
ly, will smell the rat 1t is Just the case OF the
boy who, attacking schoolmate and catching
a bad Aogging, exclaimed" Well, if can'tlick
you, I'll make mouths at your sister," The
Courier, having got enough of fogging The
Tribune, is now taking its revenge by making
mouths at Fourierism Well, let it 60 ahead.
We cannot spare room to expose all its misrep-
reservations and garbled quotations, nor need we,
when it persists in calling such men as Charles
Lane and John 4. Collins Fourierists, in the face
of community of whom hundreds have heard
these men publicly and repeatedly denounce
Fourier and his system as unsparingly as the
Courier can do it, and where no man in the world
ever heard them pretend any thing else.-After
this, the garbling of Mr.. Brisbane's idea Of nduc-
ing children to desire and seek knowledge instead
Of driving them to school and whipping them for
not learning, and his theory that the revolving
venomous animals have become so through hu-
man perversion, and may be reclaimed when
Man becomes what he should be- need not sur
prise any one.
