FIVE REASONS AGAINST THE
PRESENT TARIFF

Boston correspondent sends us the following
five conclusions on an important question:
First.-Ihe law Of 1912 was contrary To the
compact between the Nnrth and South. made at
The time the question was most earnestly debated
in 1888, aud known as Mr. Claws compromise
act.
This compromise expressly stipulated that, from
and after the 30th day of June, lS42. no du,v
should be levied 10 exceed twenty per cent. ON
hume valuation.
Second.-Ihe present tariff, by liza Differing
duties upon the varlous articles of merchandise is
unequal in lis effect, giving To some branches of
manufacture advantages over others, contrary 10
the Sput of our institutions, aud 10 the soundes
principles of political economy and national ad
vancemeni.
Thrd.-The unreasonable duties PAYABLE in
cash, without any right of warehuusng and the
retention by government of two and a half per
cent. of all dehentres. prevents The importation of
merchandise into our parts for the purpose of re
shipment TO South America and other fnrpiun
markets, thereby interfering with ship owners.
ship builders, and all interests dependent on for
egn trade and commerce.
Fourlh--That it is la the advantage of any
country Ia make whatever can be made cheaper
Than can be hunght. and 10 buy whatever can be
purchased al less price than manufactured That
unequal duties beyond The requirements of reye-
nue.. interfere with The fair and indisrutabIe right
at every citizen tn buy and sell without any un.
necessary interference of government
Fiiih.-Ihat unbiased reflection clearly shnws,
that exchanges between nations are equal, or
nearly so; that in proportion sell we have
the ability to buy; and according as we buy from
OTHERS, other nations have the ability 10 purchase
FROM MS That the laws that restrict importation
"i necessity interfere with the prices obtained for
exports.

exceedingly great. The southern States demand

thereto, and no decision could he obtained. Great
honor is due t".PruSsia for its frmness in The mat

sURRENDERING THE QUESTION.

The Free Press, an influential Wing paper
published at Selma. copies a, length the late letter
"f MIR. NlcDuffie the subject of the Tariff, and
among other comments upon 1t says: g The rea
son t"r protection having ceased for the Govern
ment, TO give il any longer to particular class of
labor would he fraud upon the country al large"
What the 6 Free Press" means By :. the rea
so" t"r protection having ceased fnr the GOVERN
'hehi' we do not exactly comprehend Amongst
me many reasons which have been urged upon
Congress by the manufacturers. for the adoption
"f the protective policy, was this, that American
manufactures were in their infancy. and could
only be sustained and bnilt up by the aid of the
Government The argument was never valid
one II was not one upon which the constitution
al action OF Congress could be- prpdicated And
even II the facts stated were then true-that these
infant manufacturers could only he sustained by
The protective aid Of Congress, it is no LONGER so.
ihronqh the influence of this protective system
they have grown in strength, wealth and in1n
ence. until il is doubtful whether they cannot
nav command the action of Congress and even
without that aid, cannot successfully compete
with the world Hence the :" Free Press -
though an able and influential Wing paper, has
the candor To admit. that if the protective system
he continued upnn the ground Of such a plea it
., co"ld be fraud upon the country al large :"
And ahnngh this is the opiniun of many Why
presses, of many of the Wing party. and Of vas,
majority of the American people, yet doubts are
dally expressed to whether the approaching
Congress will abandon the protective policy. We
shall express no doubt upon the subject; but we
wait with sumo curiosity 10 see whether the Rep.
resentaIives of The people will continue a system.
which candid Wings themselves admit would
be fraud upon the country - Constitution
