thinrs a. they actually are, we conceive to de-
serve the attention Of the country. Written for
the meridian Of Baltimore, iheyequally suit, as we
conceive, that of y. Carolina, Richmond, New

whole Union.
The struggle between American industry and
the pauper labor of Europe, is about this winter,

schemes Of selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, will persevere
In agitating what ought to be regarded as settled
principle. and will not consent that the country
shall have repose. To ditiuse light among ali
ranks of People, upon this subject, which in man
ner controls all the economical and fiscal opera
tions of the U. States, matter the highest i'm

declared at first Some OF the political oaees have chan
red their creed this point since the Tariff has
grown popular Certain Democratic orators and presses
have very loudly and with ,fontery enough, within
wear past denied that this Thrift is Wing measure aud
they claimed for their own parry They said-"Dd not
Wright and Buchanan vote for il IN the Senate and
could you have carried IL without ihem'" We answer
It il true they did fer because they were afraid
of offending very large and powerful body IN New York
and PENNSYLVANIA whn were determined TO 90 with the
Wings in support OF the Tariff But they endeavored TO
e.uain their votes, SO leave themselves ground To
retreat upon hereafter They aPologEed for tfese votes

fact that il they did there would have been no
Tariff and consequently revenue TO support the Govern
men, This the excuse. The next year Mr. Wright
made speech at WaIerown, for Incidental! Protection
danouncing the Tariff OF 1872 aud he also made another
