" We canno. possibly lind time or room to
refute all the fasehoods told against the present
Tariff, but this one we Will nail. The duty on
Iron by the present Tariffs as follows:
Bars or Bolts, per ton, 81 Pig do. per ton, So
Do. rolled .... % Old or Scrap do. 10.
Gust Iron Butts or Hinges, D cents per pond,
or $40 pr ton.
But more: The Tariff As 1t Is provides that
in no case shall the duty on a manufactured ar
ticle Of Iron or Steel be less than fifteen per cent

Sec how plain a tale puts down this Loco
Foco assault on the Tariff
But not merely is the assertion OF the Post
entirely false with respect to the present Wing
Tariff, but it is strictly true with regard to the
Loco. Foco substitute reported by General Nc
Kay, and voted for by three lourths Of the L9co
Focos in the House, including every enc ofihose
from Polk's own State That Tariff bill lcvics
r U.-. md M
Rolled Iron Except for Raii Roads, when II
would pay but Sl00 while Oh Cast Vr Butt Tin
res and all other manufactures of Iron (Steel eX-
copted) it lcves duty of thirty per cent al ia
loren for one year, after which.it IS to be redu-
ced 10 t,ccniy fee per cent. Thus by this Poik
bill the duties on muny if not most iron iidnu-
factures would be ioicer tham tic duties on tie
raw material, and the Tariff afford direct boun'
ty to British us against American Industry In
other words, the British manufacturer would get
his wares through our Custom Houses for less
duties than his American rival must pay on the
raw material whereof 10 make Just such wares .
Reader when you see amy Locotoco char

Wages OF Labor.
A number the Loco. Focos OF Newark haVs
united in n certificate charging that MIR. Van
Wagner represented Senator Buchanan as cx-
pressing sentiments unlavorablc TO the interests
of the Laboring Class, &c. &c. OntAls con;ro-
versy we have already commented. Wcpresume
=. al. L.. Mr.
Buchanans views, stated them as he understood
them and not in Mr.. Buchanan's language
This is d common fault of Political Speakers,
even when meaning to be fair. It's dangerous
course. Never charge an opponent with advo-
eating certain doctrines without stating them IN
his own words. or at least giving his own lam
guage, and then drawing your iniercnces as IN
ferences. We have known cruel injustice done
undesgnedly by neglect OF these precautions;
and still more by those who wilfully disrc-
garded it.
But, whatever errors of language may have
been made by Mr.. Van Wagner, we have not a
doubt that in essence his charge was true. We
have not shadow of doubt that the effect OF the
Loco.Foco policy, as contrastcd with the Whg'
is TO reduce the Wages Of Ldbor-boh the aver
age and the aggregate earnings OF the Working
Classes-the amount of their earnings, whether
computed in money or IN the necessaries OF lie
The advocates of this policy may not know or be-
lieye that this will be the effect as estimated in
the necessaries of life, but they DO know that the
money price Of Labor must be reduced ii their
policy prevails. This is what Mr.. Buchanan be.
trayed in his Speech on the Sub Treasury, and
this admission the Loco. Focos Of Newark shall
not shuttle out OF sight by getting up dust ahou,
the precise language OF Mr. Van Wagner.
Let us now state precisely the oEigin of this
business:
In ls40, Senator BUCHANAN OF Pennsyivania
made speech IN support OF the Sub'rrcasury,
designed to commend It TO the favor of the Busi-
ness and Industry of the Country. That Speech
was at once replied 10 by Senator DAVIS OF Mas
sachusetts, and its ialIacies exposed in mastery
manner, while the effect the Sub-Trcasury, as
represented by Mr.. Buchanan. TO oiimnlsh the
wages and depress The condition OF the laborins
Glass; was absolutely demonstrated Mr.. Bu
chanan and MS party WINGED under it, and in
s,autly set up the cry that Mr.. b had been n,iSie
presented by Mr.. Davis Mr- Buchanan now
wrote out and published his Speech,-so much OF
1t, and in such shape as he chose now TO present,
in view of Mr.. Davis's whitening reply and his
own charge of Misrepresentation. But no mat
ter: the printed speech (Which differs essentially
from MIR. Davis's understanding OF it as deliver
ed) can be understood by those whc do not mere
ly read but comprehend. Here is an extracts from
Mr. Buchanan's own report OF his Speech:
oLet me now rocur 10 the proposition with which
I commenced; and repeat tha, do Eot pretend TO
mathematical accuracy in tbs illustration which
shall present. The United States carry trade
