Ny fellow citizens. the value OF our own Home
Market for agricultural produce may be judged
of by on from one siogle fact which am now
about TO state from the public documents. and
which be seech YOU TO investigate for yourselves
1he annual value Of all the agricultural produce
of the United States, not including cotton nee
and tobacco, has been estimated by competent
Judges at SS4l000 900, IN round numbers Du-
ring the last twenty years, the greatest amount
of all these agricultural productions purchased
from US by all the foreign countries IN the to0rld,
was not, in any one year, equal to the value Of
S20,00O,0 ,000 In other WORDS, foreign countries
would not purchase of us, even when we offered
them free trade, as We substantially did in the
year before the passage of the Whig Tariff of
le42, one tOrtieth part of our ordinary agricul-
tura productions. This then, is what We arc to
get from Free Trade, when we shall have been
persuaded by British capitalists TO destroy our
own Home Market which consumed annually
S200000 600 of the surplus products Of the Far
ner, or more than ten times the amount pur.
chased of us by all foreigners.
1t has been shewn that New. England alone con.
sumes in -four 7,O00,0 600 bushels Of wheat annu-
ally beyond her own production ohich is 100000
bushels more than the Average annual export Of
~ ball II,
ity," says Mr. Ellsworth, Commissioner OF Pa.
Manufacturers of New. England, in l642, used
more than 100000 barrels of -four in making
starch and sizing their GOODS being larger
quantity than was exported to England in The
same period" England never did, and never
will, buy our Indian corn. In the only condition
in which it will bear expectation kiln dried it is
deemed by Englishmen unfit for bread, after il
has undergone transportation and English oats
are preferred to it for horse food. Tie whole
amount of Indian corn exported to foreign coun-
tries in every shape, IS asceTtalned 10 be not
equal to one half the corn crop Of little Delaware
itself,
Farmers! the interests of yourselves and your
country arc now in your hands. f0u will de-
eide lis destiny and your own, by your votes in
November If rou are not satisfied witt the
prices furnished by your own Home Market, you
NAV try Free Trade and if that does not leave
your surplus bread stuffs TO rot on your hands,
there is notruth in political arithmetic. The only
alternative know of for you, is to give up your
occupation, and let your fields grow up in filthy
weeds and then our good Democrats will have
poke-bushes enough to hang upon every hickory
pole in the country.
There are two falsehoods current with the ene-
mics of the Tariff, which, though often refuted,
it is necessary again to expose. The first OF these
is, that the Wings are in favor OF prohibitory du-
ties. Mr. Clay has over and over again, IN all
his public speeches, repudiated prohlbltory Id
riff. If there be Wing in the nation VINO Is IN
favor Of duties amounting to prohibition on for.
eipn articles, do not know him. The second
Misrepresentation is, that James X. Polk is in Ia
vor of our Protective Policy. This Is now known
by all who circulate II to be a idsehOod, and
shame will soon overlake all who have gwen that
iasehood utterance. | now hold no to your view.
and invite your attention to. newspaper called
the {" Pennsylvania Statesman" published at
Carlisle OH the 18th of this month. You see, 1t
is Democratic paper, and has the names Of
Polk, Dallas, and Skunk, in staring capitals, at
the head OF its columns. 1t contains the Pro-
ceedings of the Democratic Tariff Meeting in
Dickinson township, Cumberland County, on the
3lst of August last. Theso proceedings set forth
copy OF letter addressed on the 22d of July
by Committee appointed at previous meeting,
tn James X. Polk, nquiring of him whether he
was in favor of the Tariff, and whether, If elect
ed, ne would snpportit? Then follows the Re-
port of the Committee, stating that no reply TO
their letter had been receiped from Mr.. Polk, ot-
ter the lapse Of fue ,reeks. They then proceed
by resolu,ons, 10 denounce Mr.. Polk as unwor-
Thy of support. After this follows an Address to
the Democrats Of Cumberland, conolusively show
ing tina, MIR. Polk is opposed 10 the Protective
Principle and the true principles Of the Tariff
Democrats of Pennsylvania To all of this in
vic the attention of the Tariff Democrats OF Del
aware Would to God that men OF all parties
might prove themselves as honest, as manly, as
intelligent, independent and as fearless as these
Tariff Democrats of Cumberland County.
They have shown that
"Al the ends they aimed at were their counry's;"
and it would give me ndescribable qualification
to know them and take them by the hand But
should | ever see them, | will tell them that,
proud as their position now is, and justly as
Pennsylvania may boast of such citizens, there
are some among the Blue Hens Chickens with
hearts as firm and true. Without aliudlng to
the MANY in Delaware who have followed their
example, rejoice with exceeding Joy in pointing
your attention TO two of my friends and neigh
bors here present, members of the Delaware bar,
and both of them gentlemen OF the most dlstin-
guished private worth, who have avowed the
same opinions expressed by the Tariff Democrats
of Cumberland County, and, although heretofore
among the champions of Democracy here IN
Delaware, now determine
with all their might
To stand by the right
OF our gallant Clay OF Kentucky =!
But the matter to which / desire specially to
direct the attention OF all present, and particular
" of all modern Democrats, is the leading ed.
itorial of this Polk and Dallas Pennsylvania
