The TARIFF AND OUR MEcHANIcs.-One of the
deceptive articles resorted to by the advocates of
high tariff policy, is, TO speak Of the protection to
home manufactures as protection to our mechanics.
Indeed, it is common with many wing orators to
treat manufacturers and mechanics as being one and
the class of persons. The single mechanic
who carries on his shop in one of our villages or
towns is persuaded that the tariff law is intended to
protect his labor and his trade against foreign pauper
labor This is delUson under which thousands of
honest mechanics have labored, but which may be
dssipated by the application of moderate share
of common sense operating upon well established
facts.
| The western mechanics generally engaged in
the manufacture of single article for trade, such
as shoes or hats-and they are generally men of
limited capital. If the tariff law has tendency to
protect his shoes his hats against foreign compe
tition and thereby enables him to get better prices
for his labor at the time it raises the prices of
the salt, sugar, iron and clothing which he necessa
ry uses, and thereby he loses more in the enhanced
price paid for necessaries than he gains in the
HANGED prices received for his hats and shoes. His
object in making hats and shoes is to sell them in
order to buy other necessaries of lfe-if, by the
tariff he pays more for the necessaries he consumes
instead of gaining. then, he is loseri
But whence comes the competition which proves
so destructive 10 the small mechanics Our stores
are full of manufactured articles brought from the
eastern cities which come in competition with our
home mechanics Under the operation of the tariff
law large amounts of capital concentrated in the
eastern manufacturing establishments, and hence the
small mechanic of the west, has to compete with
the large capitalist at the North and East. The
sequence is, that the rich manufacturers afford
TO make the goods and underse the small mechanics
at their doors. The tariff first secures the east
ern capitalists against foreign competition and there
by enables them to embark heavy capitals in manu-
facturing-having such advantage over the small
mechanics and being protected against foreign CON-
petition they able to command the home market
a and limit the trade of the home mechanics.
No ,inly rottn thaea ,vbt n
satisfy every mechanic, that in enactlng high pro-
teciive tariff laws the object is to benefit the owners
oflarge capitals and not the daily laboring mechanics
The law operates upon them in the same way that il
does upon the agricuturaist. 1t raises the price oil
his necessares of life, and then subjects his labor to
# the competition of the rich capitalists.

In Oregon, the blessings of federal tariff do not
reach: lsborers get sl,75 day Carpenters So
aud goods are cheaper than in our tax-rdden coun-
try! To raise a tariff on the goods they get, uc-
cording to coon policy, would be to make them
cheaper, and give the mechanic more pdges! If all
classes are benefited without a tariff in Oregon,
why would not moderate Tariff benefit those who
live under the noses of Nabob Manufacturers ?-!S.

with an exception of Auckland, the capital of New

European coonists, and obtained possession of the
island. They were making preparations to attack
Auckland. The island comprises extent of 500
miles, and included about fourteen European settle

government, contained, previously to the attack of
the natives, population of about 5000, mostly Eng
