A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO GEN. BAYLY FROM
A POLITICAL OPPONENT
The Norfolk Herald, in an article published
before the late election in This Stale, says:
1--WE have encouraging accounts from Wise's
District and we do NOT entertain a doubt OF the
election OF the able and accomplished Southall,
The Wing candidate, over his perseveriDg and
skiliul opponent Gen. Bayly. The calculation
of Southalrs vote on The Western Shore far out
balances that of the Generals ON his own Shore.
Soutbal carries with him a popularity and re-
.pect beyond perhaps what could be command
ed by anv other man of the Western counties

last canvass"

won, according 10 Wing calculation. (and they

man and man. The honor is estimated by The

that OF his opponent was OF The first grade, his
talents OF The first order, and his popularity was
breaking into The sronghods OF Democracy, for
Bayly to have turned the tide Of fortune against
Southall, will place another feather in his cap.

TIL E TARIFF-No. III.

Having proved, by recorded facts and figures, tina
low duties whilst the residue of the world levies
high duues) are disastrous to our commerce anc
trade generally, our next purpose is to demonstrate
that the existing tariff does not, upon the whole
raise the prices Of goods, foreign or domestic.
Every one conversant with commercial and mer-
camille affairs knows that there exists a supreme law
of trade, viz that supply and demand regulate prices
that is to say, if the supply be greater than the de-
mand, prices must be low; but, If the demand be
greater than the supply, prices must be high. This
axiom being admitted, let us, by way OF illustra-
ton, take glance at two articles.
The tariff of 1912 imposed Il use this word in
compliment to some of my brother Southeners,
who use it to give force their opposition to the
protective policy additional duty cotton bag
ging but so far from this article, either foreign or
domestic advancing in price, both declined mate
rally. ! know that large quantity of foreign
bagging (gunny cloth from Calcutta) purchased on
speculation while the tariff of 1912 was under dis
cusson in Congress, was sold several months after
that bill became the law Of the land at loss of 80
per cent. Even now the prices of baggng and
bale rope are fully one-hrd less than those prior
1912 This is readily accounted for. In conse-
quence OF increased duties, the growers of hemp
IN the West extended their business, and now they,
or those who manufacture it, not only supply the
cottoH-Hdnlcrs Will Dagglng anu Daie rope dl much
reduced prices, but hemp has become an article of
expectation.
The other article alluded to is sugar. upon which
the tariff Of 1912 imposed additional duty. But
sugar did not advance il declined and during the
year lS43 it was lower than ever known. Why
did this great article great because used by every
one) of consumption decline Simply because the
additional protective duty stimulated the production
in Louisiana whose. crop has ever since been in
creasing, until it reached the enormous quantity of
about 100000 hogsheads.
Having briefly stated facts relative to the two ar
tcles uppermostnmy mind whenI sat down TO write,
will now say something in regard to the prices of
cotton fabrics, the capital invested in this business
being upwards of fifty millions of dollars and
have no doubt ii will ere long reach one hundred
millions. On this subject-most important frank
ly confess was not fully posted | therefore re-
quested an honorable and real man of business of
Boston to give me the facts with reference to prices
of fabrics before and after the passage Of the tariff
bill of 1912 His reply is before me, and appears
that, in order TO give me the most authentic intor
nation, he troubled himself to examine the sales
books Original record) of the most extensive CON-
mission-house in Boston, and he informs me that
the wholesale prices of the principal articles manu-
featured at Lowell, &c. were on the lst day of Nav
Tor eleven years past, as follow:

excellent pictures by .angehea Kaufman, which,
from their position aloft in the dome of the centre,
can hardly have been saved: hear nothing OF

entire Statue Gallery has been utterly destroyed.
The Directors have, however, Instantly gone to
work to make a catalogue of what has been res

what Art among us has to mourn, out of this, much
its richest repository in our country.
My notes will enable me, when the extent Of the
destruction shall thus have been verified, to proceed
with mnuter account, both of what is left and of
what has persisted. may then go on TO speak of
such other productions Of the brush or the chisel
as have had the time to examine here. There is
one private collection, in particular, that greatly
merits description, not only from the fineness Of
some Of the pieces, but the munifcen taste of the
possessor, whose liberaliy and judgment place him
in the very foremost rank Of those to whom genius
may, in this country, look for that discriminating
patronage which can alone enable it to vanquish
early difliculties-obscurity and poverty. j.

il should be accorded to them and, in that case all
hands will ego ahead, provided duties are so re-
gulated as TO prevent imports from exceeding ex-
ports. The anti-tariff men may pirate morning,
noon, and night about oppression, plumber, &c. but
if our exports keep pace with our imports-and by
consequence prevent commercial and financial re-
vulsions--the manufacturers of the North well
as the South will increase the spindles, and make
them fly so fast that prices of fabrics will become
almost as cheap as dirt. Competition begets low
prices, and if my brother Southerners want cloth
ing for themselves and dependents at still further
reduced rates. they should build factories from
Washington city to New Orleans, and their purpose
will most PROFESSIONALLY be fulfilled. The North

contradict,) why don't you, my friends spin more

the raw material at your doors, manufacture large
quantities las they do at Lowe of sheetings, shirt

making them pay high prices II you possess their
skill and ingenuity, you certainly have the advan-
tage of them for you would not be taxed with COM

do wish you would engage in this game, because
it would cheaper prices of all descriptions OF do
nestle fabrics, and then we Southerners would bel
of the North say nothing of the vast
importance of tranquzing the country by the per-
of the tariff. But | must not spin too
long yarn tonight. The subject of prices will be
resumed. MADISON.
