How It Works.

We hardly expected to find in such a
rabid tariff expositor as the New York
Tribune, the following startling picture
Of "the way the tariff works" in the
protected iron district in Pennsylvania.
A letter from Pittsburgh, says:
''It does not require much foresight. to
see that there is storm ahead. We
can see the clouds Of commercial adver>
sity in the distance-the only question is
as to the time, when we shall be over
whelmed in the ruin consequent upon
our predictions.
There are now in progress Of erection
in this region, twenty six new furnaces
All of these will be completed during
the course Of this summer. Comment
upon this is useless. The result will be
the prostration of this business-the ruin
of capitalits and laborers.
The cotton business is being overdone
too, so is the glass business, so indeed is
every branch upon which working men
depend for support. What is to become
of the thousands who now live from hand
to mouth, God only knows. There may
be no deaths from starvation but crime
Of every kind will increase to fearful
extent"
This has been over and over again re-
anticipated by the opponents Of hot
bed system of manufactures or Of any
other business. Nor are the evidences
oftheir foresight confined to Pittsburgh.
We have lately heard Of extensive fail
ures hereabout in branch Of domestic
manufactures, the apparent prostration
Of which has been for long time hailed
as blessed fruit of our most excellent
tariff. Itgot protection from our foreign
paupers, and now wants protection from
itself, domestic protection. Competi.
tion has swamped those who were lured
into the business by the flattering bait ol
government bounties. A few men in
such cases, (those who get the law pass
ed) generally manage to feather theil
nest, but "what is to become of the
thousands" as the Pittsburgh writer
says, "God only knows" How many
such lessons are to be taught US before
we can learn that nothing can be gainee
by tinkering the laws of nature. 81 wal

for it to rush headlong into every specie
