We only ask oil our opponents that they pant
themselves on one side or the other Of the Tariff
question. We Wings stand up before the whole
world as advocates Of TIE TARIFF AS lr Is. From

This unprincipled guerrilla warfare increases the
labor of the canvass and must Tax the patience OF
the People. To-day, VIC hunt up documents and
data to refutc some new Loco-Foco attack on
the Tariff, and tomorrow we arc required to look
up different set and prove that Loco FccOiSm is

The most pcrtinacious OF the Loco-Foco
attacks on the Tariff is based on the assertion
that ii has largely increased The price Of manu-

table does show that certain Agricultural Sta
pies are lower in this City than they in lS4G,
