GOV. Earry-Repudia,ior-rhe Tariff.

Gov. Barry-Repudiatior-Th Tariff.
We have ceased to expect honesty, trnth or
any thing but fllppancy, from the Morning Meas
That paper represents The Tribune calling
Gov. Barry rogue and repudiator' because
he differs from us on the Tariff question. Nothing
could be farther from Inc truth. We used these
terms with direct and papeble reference To The
ope, Repudiation of some Three Millions OF her
Public Debt by the Loco. Focos of Michigan,
under the lead OF this same Gov. Barry; wnle
scarcely show is made ot disposition 10 pay the
in,e.es; on the S4,00O,000 which she acknowL
edges, and which Gov. Barry says she holds GOOD
assets TO balance. If this refusal to pay half hc
debt and wful, persistent neglect to pay the 10.
terest on the other half, which she palpsby might
pay, does not constitute RepudlatioD, we kno.
not what term to apply to 1t. VIII the News
coin US one which will not offend its nice sense
Of decorum2
As to the Tariff, the News eyinces either in.
competence to understand plain proposition or
gross knavery. Gov Barry (see our extract
from his Message) lays down the broad propo.
si,ion that
with duty when imported increased price 6v amount
sgaai 10 that duty
OF course, if this is true, every Hat, Coat, pan
of Boots or Shoes, made in this Country, costs
the wearer the full amount of the duty on such
article beyond what it wuuld cost If there were
no Tariff! Can any decen,ly intelligent man
pretend to believe this We try to have a fair
share of charity for all opinions, however absurd
bat we do not believe any man really entertains
such an opinion as this. We do not think any
man can honestly believe that plain Cotton fab
rics are made six cents and Prints or Calicoes
nine cents yard dearer to our consumers, in
the face of the facts that you can buy very fair
Cotton Cloths in this City any day FOR less than
nix cents yard for plain and nine cents for
printed. We cannot believe it while We know
that these same Cotton goods which we make
here, and JUS. such AS we ell buy and consume,
are sold daily in Canton. Buenos Ayrcs, &c. &c
in competition with the very cheapest goods
made elsewhere, and to as great an extent now
ss when our Tariff was far lower. How, then,
can any honest man pretend that the duty on
Foreign fabrics enhances the price OF Domestlcs
according 10 the rule laid down by Gov. Barry
And since the facts have been 50 often, so fully,
a 30 lorcibly set forth, how can any man honestly
~ pretend to believe as Gov. Barry asserts!
The News INDUCES in such assertions as this
The Tribune that ARTICLE which no tax bq,
eohsu@pon pay. the GSvernmen, tax Aud this fair
einen of It's TariE fncts.
What is the use in such misstatements as this?
Tho Tribune argues exactly the opposite OF this
that whereas Wines Brandies and other arti.
cles wholly imported are enhanced in price by the
Tariff by nearly the full amount OF the duty (so
long as that duty does not induce their productios
at home,) yet no such effect is produced by the
duties on those articles which. under the protec-
tion of the Tariff, are mainly supplied by our own
people. In short, our position is precisely that
which the Price Current suggests and iortifes,
and to that wo appeal for support. ltllttle or nc
Cloth were now made in this country, then oul
people would pay nearly as much more for thei'
Cloth by reason of the Tariff. as the duties there
on would amount TO. But when our Cloth Is
made mainly at home, It's price is not measured
or regulatedb by the duty. If the duty on Cotton
Goods were one thousand per cent. We do not be.
now. If the daty on Pepper or Coffee were enc
thousand per cent. we know that these article:
would be great deal higher than now.-But We
waste words on the glaring ianitieS OF Gov. Bar.
