G1ass-Enects of the Tariff.

The article of Cylinder Window Glass affords
fair specimen of the operation Of the Iarla OF
1912, and of the manner in which that Tariff IS
Taring the People for the benefit of the Manu-
facturers, as is stoutly asserted by Messrs. Nc
Duffie, Woodbury. & Co. endorsed by the Post
and Journal Of Commerce.
Previous to the passage of the Tariff several OF
the New-Jersey manufacturers "a State in which
the largest quantities are made.) had it IN serious
contemplation to close their establishments, as
others had done in the North and different parts
of the States and letters upon letters were written
to this City, asking information relative to the an
ticipated increase Of the importation Of Foreign
Glass, which was then increasing IN the eyes ol
the manufacturers, and without illusion too, TO d
fearful extent They then found that they had
no other alternative but to ask of their Represen-
tatvcs such Tariff as would in some measure
protect their interest or, at least, place them on
an equality with the European manufacturers,
taking into consideration the very great dlscrepan-
cy of the cost of Labor with which In their opinion
they had principally to contend. They were sue
cessful IN their application, and what has been
the result Not only in ameliorating their own
condition, but also that OF the community, in the
reduction Of prices much below the former rates,
as well as an improvement IN the article, having
already raised the standard OF quality quite
up to that of the best description of European
Cylinder Glass by the introduction of the Patent
Oven and other Improvements, which only the
stimulus Of the Tariff has brought about.
The following are the net prices per box OF
50 feet before and after the passage of the Tariff
at such periods as will show, convincingly, the
effect of the same, VIZ:

New.Xork Salt.

A mercantile firm of this City have just over
hauled and repacked for the English market 1000
tierces of Beef, all put down last fall with Onon
daga Salt. Every piece of the meat is found sweet
and clean. The exporters inform US that very
much of the Beef and Pork put down with i'm
ported Salt proves sour on repacking, and they
doubt whether any lot of 1900 tierces, put Gown
with Foreign Coarse Salt, can be found so per-
fectly sweet throughout as this. If there be any
man who seriously believes the statements which
have appeared in the Journal of Commerce and
Evening Post in depreciation of New-York Salt,
we ask him to inquire Of our honest meatpackers
on the subject, and he win find that Salt is Salt,
even though we do not send abroad for it.

Here, it will be seen, that instead of an increase
from this time, 1912, (when the Tariff was lowest
| in the manufacturers prices of Cotton Goods,
there is positive reduction, averaging l0 per
cent. although raw Cotton has risen In the same
time until Cotton is now 80 per cent. higher than
in 1912. (See yesterdays Cotton Circular OF
Rising g. Harris, Free Trade Cotton Brokers, 81
Wal.street, which states the average price OF fail
New.Oreans Cotton in 1912 at Tic. and its pre-
sent average price 81 cents.) II, however, Cot
ton were as high in Feb. 1912 as at present, there
would still be clear reduction Of 10 per cent on
the above Cotton Goods below the low-duty pri-
ces Of that year.
Need we, ought we, to waste more time in
reiuting The Pebeians wholesale assertions?
= Let us be clearly understood. That there
has been an advance since 1912 in Broadcloths
and some descriptions Of Wooden Goods, we be-
lieve, but not in proportion to the eduanee IN
Wool. That most goods are somewhat higher
now than last year this time, when several causes
conspred to reduce them below all precedent and
ruin many producers, we do not doubt. But last
Spring the Tariff was the same as now; the na-

rLying is so easy and natural with lhe rue
Jeian, that it should stick to that, which 1t under
stands, and not attempt argument, which 1t is IN
capable of. We have nerer admitted once much
less again and again, that the aggregate cost
Of Hardware to our consumers has been increas-
ed by the Tariff, for we know and have conclu-
sively demonstrated that the fact is otherwise
There may be local or transitory advance on a
few articles, caused by extraordinary demand or
some other temporary cause, but the generalten-
dency is to cheaper production and lower prices,
as the Price Currents will show. But we have
heretofore discussed Hardware most thoroughly,
and are well satisfied with the result.
And now to Cotton and Wooden fabrics. The
highest Protection accorded to any interest is en-
loved by the Cotton Manufacture. If the Tariff
really tends to increase prices any where, it is
here. Now the Plebcian says that the rise in
these goods has been not merely commensurate
with the rise of the raw material, but four times
as great! Is this the fact? We emphatlcally
deny it. The appeal lies to the Price Current
The Plebeian objects to our comparing the prices
