POLITICAL.
EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECH OF
MIR. PHELPS OF VERMONT,


las the substance of this able speech has already
been given 10 most if not all Of our readers, we do
not deem it necessary to publish ALL as furnish
ed, though we should have been glad in the first
instance TO have done so. We quote portion
which is particularly interesting to the farmers of
this State. l-ED.
The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Wood
bury has also alluded to the article of WOOL as ex-
hibitng the partial operation of the Tariff of 1872
This argument is addressed particularly to the peo
pie of New Hampshire and Vemont-his constit-
uents and mine. He has alluded to certain resolu-
tons Of the Legislature Of Vermont which had
the honor to present, demanding equal protection to
all branches of industry. He approves this princi-
pie but he labors to show that the interest of the
wool grower has been sacrificed to that of the man
ufacturer
He states that the wool grower of Vermont is
protected by duty Of per cent, but for his own
produce, in manufactured state he pays from 25
TO GO. The Senator has mistaken the duty. On
all wool which comes in competition with the growth
of this country the duty is 30 per cent. ad vaoreni
with the addition Of specific duty Of three cents
| per pound. If we assume that the average price
Of wool is thirty cents which is high as the mar
ket has been for some years past the duty is 40 per
cent; and this is precisely the duty on woollen
cloth. The raw material has always been deemed
equal in value to one-half the fabric in other
words, the labor of the manufacturer is equal to the
value Of the material. 1t is common practice to
manufacture the wool of the farmer for half the
cloth. As, then, the wool grower and manufactu-
rer contribute equally to the fabric and equally
interested, they receive equal protection II fur
Their illustration be necessary, let us suppose the
duty 10 be added to the price which each receives.
The farmer receives from the manufacturer 40 per
cent for the duty, and the latter, upon his cloth,
when sold receives the same. Forty per cent. on
the cloth is equal to so on the wool. The manu-
facturer therefore receives 50 per cent? which he
divides equally with the farmer, retaining 40 for
his labor
Coarse wool costing less than seven cents per
pounds subject to duty of per cent only. This
species of wool is not produced in this country
The only complaint on this head is, that by admix-
ture. of coarse and fine, and by importing it in a
filthy state, and other devices, portion Of wool
of the quality grown in the country is introduced
under this low duty. If this is done it is an eva
sion of the law and not the fault Of the law ITSELF
If that be defective in guarding against the eva
sion | trust the Senator will unite with us, and
remedy the defect But this defect if it BIO one,
has been vastly overrated. That the act of lS42
has given efficient protection to the ogrower is

rivaing Great Britain in other markets of the world
in the supply of the cotton fabric, to secure the
planter against competition from other countries in
the supply of the raw material, and to protect him
against the seadfast policy of England, should the
article be produced by her own dependencies in

it renders other countries tributary to our manuac-

Did ever you hear of the farmer,
Called " Harry of the West"
OF all the men for President,
The wisest and the best,
To put him in the Capitol,
We've found capital way,
oh We'll sing good Wing song tonight,
And vote for Henry Clay,

Z" Protection" he will grant TO all,
You'll not be turned away,
oh we'll sing good Wing song tonight,
And vote for Henry Clay,
Oh! we'll sing, &c.
Come all the folks of every age,
The old as well as young,
There's not in all Columbia,
A name more Justly sung;
When dire misrule had crush'd otir hopes,
In freedoms darkest day,
Still battling hravely for the right,
Stood dauntless, Henry Clay,
Still battling, &c.
When gathered into Council,
Among the wise and great,
He never thought to serve himself,
But always served the State
The people now with grateful hearts,
Their wisdom will display;
And turn tho traitor, Tyler, out,
And put in Henry Clay,
And turn, &c.
There's news about election,
Borne on in every gale,
A shout from every pace is heard,
Our cause will never fail
And freemen's voices gladly join,
To catch tho sounds So gay
oh We'll sing good Wing song tonight,
And shout for Henry Clay,
oh We'll sing, &c.
Then raise our peerless banner,
Upon the outward walls,
The word is rolling trumpet tongued,
The Loco RIVAL FAILS;
The cry of victory rends the air,
II swells the joyous lay;
Oh we'll sing good Wing song tonight,
And vote for Henry Clay,
Oh we'l sing, &c.
