WOOL.-As 10 Wool, we would checrfully
stake The result Of the Presidential Election on
the judgment of the Wool-growers as TO which
of the two tariffs is preferabe-the present, or
the substitute proposed by Mr. Mckay and
supported by the mass of Locolocos last winter.
We see no use of repeating what we have
stated, we do not wish 10 add anything TO
it. Briefly, we stand on these impregnabe
grounds:
1. That the present Tariff does. afford eff
cient Protection 10 all kinds of American Wool,
selling for 80 80 cents pound, which il
would not command if foreign Wool costing
less than nine cents here, duty paid, were
equal to or in any manner competed with il;
Q. That the proposition of the Free Traders
TO raise the duty on this coarse Foreign Wool
to / or 90 per cent. Chat is, seven mills to
one cent pound) is deceptive and fraudulent,
because at the same time they proposed 10 re-
dlce the duty on coarse Wooden Blankets
from fifteen TO ten per CT. thus ensuring the
introduction of coarse Woolens instead of
Wool, and depriving the Farmer not merely of
any market for such Wool, but for the pro-
visions, Fuel, Sc. Sc. he now sells to the
manufacturers Of these fabrics, from whatever
Wool.
That the intent of the present Tariff is to
shut out such Foreign Wool, (unless import
ed at high duty) comes in competition
with any American Wool; and we believe this
is the effect of it. But il it shall appear at
any time that this result is not attained, then
we are in lavor of so altering the specifications
of the Tariff as To ensure that result. We are
for adequate efficient Protection to eueru
branch of Home Industry, now and evermore,

eminent laws. the best lands produce nothing
more than the minimum price of $l,25 per

imum.-Balt. Amer.

GJ' WIsTARs BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY.--This
article, as its indicates, is a chemical extract
of Wild Cherry. II is simple and harmless in its
efiect-yet il is more eicacious in obstinate Cough
Asthmas, Group, Consumption and LAYER Com
plant than any other medicine known to man. II
has effected many marvellous cures-having more
the appearance of miracles than the effect of
natural remedy. The active ingredient Of this bal
sam, "the Extract is not, and cannot be known
made by any but the inventor. Hence it is in vain
to try remedies that fail in their object often
they are used.
William Seayer, Esq, Postmaster at Batavia, n
r., writes that he gave an afflicted person
bottle, the effect of which wonderful that il
created an immediate and extensive demand for IT,
It needs but to be known to be universally used by
physicians as well patients.
