swered from our side; look at the Price
Currents; trace the price of this article
through the years when there ,Uas a much
lower duty or none at all, and you will see
that it was little or no cheaper than now
often much dearer, if the duty has indeed
been a Protective one, and has aided TO
build up domestic production of the ar

but zoe do, and it IS not material whether

but we show you that there has been like

responding reduction of price. Why won't
you face the Price Current
And now TO few additional facts:
Linseed Oil is specified by the Post and
Journal of Commerce as an article which
we might get great deal cheaper if there
were no Protective duty on it, The duty
is 25 cents gallon, just as il was fixed by
the Tariff of 1924. confirmed by that Of

and by that Of 1882. Under the Compro-
mise Act of 1888, this duty sunk gradually
down to an average of 10 cents per gallon
in the year ending with August 1912.
During that year, the average price Of The

between the close of that year
and the present time. the average price has

If were TO 60 off the line of my jour.
ney, do no, know where might not be
carried, by the kind invitations of my
friends, or the impulses Of my own feelings.
There would be no limit TO my travels;
and | should be embarrassed To decide
where to commence. and where TO termi-
nate them. could not visit every place;
and il would be invidious TO discriminate
between various points, having equal claims
10 my attention, respect and gratitude.
The rule, which l have adopted, limiting
myself to the routes by which shall pro-
coed on my journey, is simple, and hope,
may be satisfactory.
|
tlemen, TO learn that the people Of Char.
lot,e and its neighborhood, renouncing pre-
conceived prejudices and antipathies, are
candidly reviewing their former opinions
adverse to a protective tariff; and that
many of them are disposed now to believe
that reasonable and moderate protection,
short of prohibition, is beneficial to the
consumer by augmenting the supply. The
non.existence of Manufactures in the Uni
ted States would leave to foreign countries
a monopoly, in the supply Of American
consumption. The prohibition Of the fab
RIGS Of foreign countries would transfer
that monopoly 10 the home manufacturer
in the United States; but the monopoly
would be modified and moderated, pro-
gressively, by competition arising at home.
| The true interests of the consumer are
best promoted by competition between
the Foreign and The National supply. The
inevitable tendency Of that competition is
to reduce prices, as all experience has de-
monstrated. A duty never augments the
price, TO the full extent of its amount, but
in the case of an inadequate supply of the
article, on which it is imposed. TO the de-
mand for that article.
But the reduction OF prices is not the
only, nor the greatest, advantage of The
establishment Of Manufactures in our
country. They create an ability to pur-
chase those cheaper articles, by the Home
market, which arises for the product of
Agriculture and of labor. ID
All these truths are susceptible, | think,
of the clearest illustration; but this is moi
suitable occasion for more than briefly
adverting 10 them.
l tender. gentlemen, my respectful &C
acknowledgements for your friendly invita-
ton, and assurances of the high respect
and esteem of
Your friend and obi servant,

ADVERTISING.

A friend remarked the other day to u.
tina, business that is mot worth advertis.
ing is not worth doing" There is much
truth in the remark, but truth that does no,
seem to be appreciated by most of oul
business men. Many men think to cease
advertising is economy: that it reduces eI'
penses; that if they have but little business
TO do, il is not worth advertising; if they
do great deal, there is no use of adyer-
Using. Is advertising less useful than in.
surfing! Is il less useful than sign! Is it
less essential than good business siandl
We think not. A man does not buy his
goods TO keep them on hand. If he did, it
might be well to insure without advertising.
Again, advertising is like travelling sign.
No business man will hesitate TO pay
twenty dollars for a sign, where he would
never think Of paying half the sum for adj
ver,ising. The one is sign seen only by
those who pass the store, and can see the
goods that are for sale as well as the sign.
The advertisement is a comprehensive
sign that comes under the eye of hundreds
who will not see the sign over the door, yet
some pretend to argue that because some
men have done a good business without
advertising, advertising is unnecessary.
They might as we'll argue that because
some men have made money without in.
dusiry, industry is unnecessary.

The CHARGE OF BARGAIN AND SALE
A Tennessee paper states, that at late

that State, Col. A Aiken, heretofore Dem.
ocrat, came boldly forward and declared
himself for Henry Clay. In the course OF
his speech he said he was ga member of the
legislature of Tennessee at the time the res

Clay with bargain, intrigue and corruption,
and that he voted for them. He had lived
TO see that he was in error-had done that
great and good man injustice--and as an
honest man he took back that vote. If he
were now in the Legislature, he would
vote 10 repeal that vote Of the Legislature"
