Correspondence ofthe Herald
SKANEATELEs, Dec. s, 1S4i.
The Skaneateies Community.

Mr.. BENNETT
In your Herald OF Sd instant, you express an
opinion founded upon information that "the com.
munity on the beautiful Lake of Skaneateles, is
upon the verge of annihilation." As your paper
hasso powerful circulation, especially among the
friends Of Association, it is important that any
wrong impression respecting this Community
should be speedily corrected am happy to be
able to inform you that this Community, so far
from being on the verge OF anHihiation, is in
very prosperous condition. 1t has passed through
many stormy trials, and now bids fair to 60 on,
unimpeded by persons who are so completely un
fitted for community, as many OF our selfdeceiv-
ed residents have proved to be. Knowing that
(what may have been said against you to the con-
trary Notwithstanding you will assist any scheme
when time has shown it's utility, take the liberty
to forward you this correction. Whatever diffe.
renee Of opinion may exist between us and the
communitists, it cannot be denied that the great.
erportion Of them are men and women who exhi-
Bit the true spirit OF reform in their unexampled
seIt-denia and patience through the necessary pri
vatons OF transition from society as il is, to So
ciety as they think 1t should be.

suggest to the reader TO turn TO the
table marked &C" in the appendix to
the report Of the Committee Of Ways
and Means, where they would see the
precise extent to which every branch
Of industry would be affected by this
measure. This report itself would
thus furnish the best and most conclu-
sive evidence Of the destructive effect
of the proposed measure upon Ameri-
can labor, and its beneficial effects up
on foreign, and especially British indus

between foreign and American mechan-

American market, and the question is.
which side shall we take? The tariff
of 1912 shuts out the foreigner and
gives the American the market; this
bill proposes TO repeal The talif Of AZ,
and give i. 10 the foreigner; to open our
ports and again Hood our country with
foreign goods, and expor. money by
ship loads to pay for them; and why?
