The Tariff and the sNeophytc friends OF
Projections,
Whoever reads attentively the Loco Foco Jour-
mails, which 80 recently were unqualified in oppo.
sing Protection and are now protesting friendship
for more Protection, in order that they may assai
with more effect the present Tariff and the stead
fast advocates of the Protective policy, must see
that they mean Just the same by Protection now
that they formerly clamored for under the hon.
ester appellation Of Free Trade They say they
want all interests protected, and we heartily
cur, but ask them how they propose TO doit. "Oh,
'by cutting down the duties on Manufactures,
and SO letting our Farmers supply themselves
with goods at lower prices. Then they can OBJ
tain better prices for their products" - Why,
srs, you talk of buying goods ower-wil you
please to tell us when our Farmers ever supplied
themselves cheaper from abroad with the articles
they now take of American artisans Did their
Axes, Sythes, Hoes, Flows, Chains, Nails, &C.
ever come to them cheaper than now Then
their merchants cheat them; for sssuredly the
whole round Of implements needed by Farmers
was neuer 80 cheap under low Tariff as now.
just SO of Cloths Some kinds were cheaper in
1643, under the present Tariff, than they are
but take Cloths all round, and man can buy
coat or suit, valsc-full of under. clothes or a
chest of bedding, as cheap now as euer before the
present Tariff was adopted. There may be d
-, ;oIo but, al rhnln
circle of Farmer or Family wants, and they
neuer could be supplied cheaper before this Tariff
was laid than now. And yet we hear it daily
asserted as unquestioned truth that our Farmers
are paying twenty or thirty per cent more for
their goods than they were before this Tariff was
enacted Repeatedly have We exposed the knave
ny of parading the prices et last year asow Tariff
prices, but it is still persisted IN, and will be So
long as there is one who can be duped by it. De
ceptlon is the game of those who concoct Free
Trade statistics, and they will play 1t 10 the end
Now we are heartily in avor OF pursuing that
course which shall yield the most efficient and
beneficial Protection 70 the Farming and to all
other intercsts-wc always have been so. But
how is this to be done! We can see but one way.
IF VIC should put dollar pound duty on Wool,
and le, in Woolen fabrics at twenty per cent,
would that benefit the Farmers Would it mol
be worse than twenty per cent on Wool and Wool
ems alike? Here is county which produces
coarse Grain, Vegetables and Fruit in abundance: :
how shall we render it most available to the Farm
err Will duty Of five hundred per cent on
these products help him. Not one particle He is
not afraid that Foreign Potatoes, Apples, Corn,
will come there TO undersell him, and If he sends
his products to a distant city for market, they
net him very little. But adopt that policy which
builds up markets around and through his own
neighborhood-op an Iron mine on one side o
him and Coal bed on the other-run up Cot
ton mill on one fall of the nearest stream, and a
Wolen factory on the neXt-and now he can sell
his Vegetables, his Fruits, his Corn, at prices
which he can live by. They may be lower or
higher in Ncw-York or New Oreans-that affects
him little for the best price given on the seaboard
would hardly cover the cost and charges OF trans
portation and sale. But bring an adequate mar.
ket of consumption within days ride of his door,
and now he will be able to live and thrive by his
labor We know sections in which Farmers would
gladly contract to deliver Potatoes at twenty cents
per bushel and Apples at twelve cents, and would
make money at those rates. But nobody around
them wishes to buy and pay cash for such articles;
they are too abundant and the market too limit
ed 80 the Farmers let their Fruit 90 TO ruin, be.
yond their own consumption, and do not raise
Vegetables to sell, because nobody wishes 10 buy.
The Protection they want is that which will bring
near them market for such products as their
lands are best fitted for; none other can be of any
avail.
Now this old.fashioned doctrine of Protection
is indeed the opposite OF that proclaimed by the
nev Pro,cctionis,s, who have such love for the
Farmer and his interests that they insist on filling
the Country with Foreign fabrics for his special
benefit, turning our artisans into Farmers, and
leaving him to sell his produce where he can.
But, SAYS neophytc Proteciionist, the Farm
ere are so many, the Manufacturers and Ar
tisans comparatively so few; why legislate
for the advantage of the smaller class, rather
than tina, of the larger ?" Nay, friend; we de-
ny the right to legslatc for the special benefit of
either the large or The small class. Ii cur policy
is not calculated to benefit all classes or the mass
of cur People regardless of class then oppose it 10
the utmost. Hear an oId-tash;oned Protecuonis,,
