This is a practical illustration OF the
operation Of a high protective tariff
While the sgricUlturalistS are obliged
under It to pay enormously high prices
for the manufactured articles which they
consume, the market is curta;lod by the
restrictions imposed upon trade, and the
prices Of their surplus produce are great
" reduced in value. Ncr does the in.
justice Of the system stop here. The
labsrers aud mechanics of the country
are taxed The same as the farmers by the
tariE-snd their interest is so intimately
connected with the prosperity Of the far
mers. thul whatsv 81 Affects ibiuriously
the latter, is hardship upon the former
Agriculture, trades and commerce are
thus taxed and depressed for the benefit
Of few stockholders in large manufacl
turing establishments.
