 From tae Be,o Yoht Plebeaan. HIGH DUTIES MAKE LOW PRICES-LOW
 DUTIES MAKE EHIGHPRICES THE MORE

 MEAL THE FARMER GETS-THE LESS TOLL TIE LESS MEAL HE GETS.
 Senator Evans of Maine, made capital speech at the commencement of the present Congress, which is we understand extensively circulated among the farmers, with most happy effect. Mr. Evans shows conelusively that the higher the duty the cheaper the mer- chant can afford 10 sell his calieoes and cloths, and thc l0ucr the duty the more he is com peled to ask for them. We see from an ar tcle in the Illinois Register, that the miIlers have adopted the plan of Mr Evans, and have concluded 10 support the tariff, We publish from the Register the following, which Is the most forcible argument in favor of the present whig tariff that we rccollect to have seen any where.
 TIE MILLER AND HIS WHIG CUsroM- rRs.-Some weeks since Mir. Mcconnell was in Mr. Douglass Congressional district slak- ing democratic speeches, where Ee met a staunch democratic friend ofhis, who accosted him very familiarity, and said friend Mack, l hear you are going 10 make a democratic speech here to-day about tic tariff.
 Well, says Mr M, I'll think of 1t have you any objections, friend Bob
 Well have, says lis friend, l am afraid yoaaae going 10 interfere with my interest WitIfy Your conlounded discussion about the .aria, and about high and low prices.
 Ifthat is so, Bob, am very sorry, says 4lr. N., pray how can that happen3
 We'll now, Mack, will tell y0H in a pri- Yate way like, but 1 don't want you to be bla5bing t all around the country, and make a blowing horn of yourself about 1t, and get mo into deal of a sefaPe, perhaps into the newspapers besides.
 Oh of course, says Mir. M., Twill not letiS- Por t to any one; but how is it.
 Well, says Bob, now you know l am a miller and keep grist mill and grind for toll.
 les, know, and a first rate mill t is too, and all your neighbors say that you are an anomaly in natures q first rate accommodating honest miller, tjafneYer takes loo muchto
 Oh yes, understand you, ] understand g0uf grisi of soft corn, but that Is neither here nor there, let met me fell vou how t was.
 Some weeks ago one of my Whig custom CTS came to mil and brought with him copy of Alr. Evans speech upon the tariff, and while his grst was grinding he set down and read 1t over 10 me, and commented learnedly and long upon that part of inc speech that proves thata high protective tarif'makes goods lower, and the higher the duties the lower the price to the consumer.
 listened aaentiveiy and never disputed a word he sail, and when he was about to start home, asked him 10 lend me the speech, for was greatly taken with il, and wanted 10 read ii to the people as they came 10 the mill.
 My Whig friend readily complied, thinking that he had made such valuable convert to the high Whg tariff cause.
 As soon as he left went to work and made me q new toll dish, and made 1t about two inches higher than the old one, and im- mediately commenced taking toll with my new dish
 The report was soon circulated in the neigiborhood, too, that had turned whg, and my whig neighbors focked in by dozens to see me, and among the rest my old friend that loaned me the speech, with several oth- CTS, came together to get grinding, and all shook me cordially by the hand, and well comed me 10 the household of whiggery.
 As soon as their greetings were over, took my new toll dish and in their presence heaped t rounding full out of each of their grists.
 lIalloo, Bob, says one of them, you have got new toll dish, han't you.
 Oh yes, says l, the old one got a little shackelng like, and little wore of at the top, and rather too small for the interest of my customers, and l thought 1t was best to have new one,
 ! es, by gracious, says another of them, do you see that, Williams, if it aint about a #third bigger than the old one, 1 will he shot; sure enough, says the other Why, Bob, what the mischief does that mean, how is that for the interest of your customers, as you say /?
 Oh, says I, very plain, don't you under stand it; the higher the toll the lower the price of grinding, and the more meal you get
 Pshaw, now Bob, says one of them, how can you make that out? Now, none of your humbugging Us with your big toll dish in these hard Tyler times.
 Well now, says l, it is all as plain as day come set down here and let me explain it to you; and straight way took out Evans speech and read to them and explained how the high tariff worked, and although it appeared to I increase the cost of the goods to the importer and retailin0 merchant vet the highpr he
