can be made appear that nine are three-four,hs Of
the thirteen States then existing, that being tho
number required by the Constitution Of the Uni.

4 STRONG FACT FOR MECHANICS.

The American Wing, published at Baltimore,
states that Bootmaker in that city wrote to
France lately to ascertain at what prices fashion
able Boots could be procured a, Paris, and tina,
In answer he received the list Of prices Of an
tensive manufacturer Of that city, from which he
has asccr,ained that but for the duties imposed
by the Wing Tariff of 1912, Tor in other words if
they were admitted free,) he could import them
here, ready made, at price within a few cents
OF what he pays his journeymcn for making
them. The duty laid by the Wing Tariff is 81 ,s5
per pair, and was so laid with the express view
of sustaining our own mechanics against this ru-
nous foreign competition.
A like protection is also afforded TO our Hat
tiers, Talors, Cabinet Makers, Tanners, Saddlers,
and Blacksmths.
The evil which tho Wing Congress intended
to remedy by these duties had become most enor-
nous and intolerable to the mechanics engaged
In these branches Of manufacture, under the low
duties Of the Compromise Act. Besides the
heavy importations by merchants of hats, boots,
shoes, and ready-nade clothing, on general ac-
count, il. had even become the habi, of the fash
ionables in our cities to send out their private
orders Tor almost every thing they needed to Par

ePARTY CONSISTENCY

the present Tariff, and loudly demand res

aliege was lalthlessly violated by the Whig
congress OF 1912; yet they support James
n. Folk Tor the Presidency who did not scru-
pie to 60 for repeal of tina! same Compro-
mise act within ole year after lis passage.
in 1884, Mr.. Hall, of N. introduced q re-
solution TO direct The committee of WAYS and
means to remodel the whole Tariff. with q
view, as was ayowed, TO reduce The revenue
down to what he was then pleased to call tho
necessary wants of the Government and for
this resolution, Mr.. Polk, with sixty-iye 9TH
er members Of the House, voted, MIR DIAL
las, TOO, their candidate for the Vice President
cy, voted against the Compromise act al the
time OF lis passage! What then are we 70
think of their present professions in regard TO
that act?
AS to the charge of violation OF faith made
against the Wing Congress, every body knows
or ought TO know, it was not until n month
alter the Compromise act had fully run Ont
that the present Tariff was enacted, OWING to
the difficulties thrown in the way of Congress
by President Tyler; and a question was
