FARMERS.

1. Keep it before the people, that the effect of the present tariff upon the farmer may be seen in its absolute failure to make any pro fits from his lands since ifs passage; in the steady and rapid fall in the prices of his pro dnce under its influence, and in the rise Of every article of consumption which he is com pelled to purchase. To prove these, letfacs he submitted to the candid reader. And first, we propose to show from the .tNew York prices current,7 tie prices of farm produce at two periods of low duties, as compared with the present time:
The Arkansas banner., 1844-09-11

8. Keep before the people, that the prices of wool under the present tariff have ranged from 10 to 30 cents pound lower than under the falling duties of the compromise act; and that when a Democratic Congress at it's last session endcavored to equalize the present system, by giving the farmer like protection with the manufactures, and to that end pro- posed to increase the duty on wool from 5 10 15 per cent. it was steadily opposed and utl- mately defeated by the unanimous vote of the Whig members.

been a general reduction of the prices of sta pie agricultural productions, under the pre- senttarifT, although the farmers were promised over and over again that their produce should certainly be increased in price.o
 We next refer the reader 10 a table Ore pared by merchants of the highest standing m New ! ork) of the prices Of manufactured goods under the present tariff, as compared with prices before its passage. According 10 this table, the prices of brown sheetings, man uiactured at the Massachusetts mills last spring, had risen within the year from 9 to 37 per cent; bleached sheeting from l2 10 30 per cent; ticllngs from l9 to 26 per cent, drillings from l7to 2 per cent; prints from 20 to 33 per cent, printing cloths from 10 to 57 per cent; satlinets 9 per cent; Aannels 25 per cent; &c., Sc. And such is the ef- feet upon almost every article on which the present tariff operates, and which the farmer is compelled to buy.
 MANUFACTURERS.
 5 Keep it before the people, that while the farmer is languishing under the present par tial and unjust system, the manufacturers are dividing 20 per cent. year, and proceeding to overgrown and princely fortunes. The Boston Post of June 10 says: the jackson Manufacturing Company has just declared d dividend of eight per cent; the Nashua eight per cent, and the Cabot ten per cent; all for SIX months.

that it is suporseding every other Stove in,

the celebrated Hathaway Stove and substitu-
ted Mr.. Roney's in its stead. This is striking
proof OF its merits. The most powerful argu-
ment how ever in its favor is to be found in the
fact that of the numerous applications for pa

Roney's seemed to possess sufficient merit 10 re-

The Roney Stove is now all the go. They

will soon cast every other invention of the
kind into the shades Milton ledger,

What is Odd Fellowship, Go ask the tear
That sometimes trembcS in the widows eye
That tells of grief for one--thc loved and dear
Whose cherished memory now awakcs the sigh,
And filings shadow DER the brows deep calm
Oh ask of her what bright angelic power
Poured in her wounded heart affections balm,
And chccred her path in sorrows darkest hour
Ask her, when fate its cruel shaft had sped,
And her young hopes had prrshcd in the bloom,
What smiling form could bless cen then, and shed
A halo of deep glory round the tomb!
What good Samaritan, like him of old,
Stood ready TO assuage her bitter cry,
When all the world besides, with feelings cold,
Bchcld her grief and passed regardless by.

u TnE PrrLIc DEEr.--It will be seen, by
referring to the proceedings olthe Comfy Meet
ing assembled at the Court House in tins place,
on Monday last, that strong resolution was
passed in favor of dcvising some means for the
payment of the interest on our State debt Our
Senators and Representatives are instructed to
vote for every measure necessary and proper to
accomplish this object The resolution was
passed without dissenting voice.
The Resolution in favor ola protective tariff
is equally strong. We Were pleased to see that
our democratic friends were almost unanimous
upon this truly democratic measure To us this
vote was truly gratifying, as il was triumphant
Vindicaton OF the course we have pursued during
the last four years, in relation 10 the tariff cspc.
cially as we stood single handed and alone, in the
ranks of democratic editors, in the ad, ocacy of
this measure.
