The Tarifitcs intend to make us indepen-
dent OF all foreign nations. The tariff of
1912, was designed for this end, but
the manner in which we are affected
10y the slightest news and surmises with re-
gard 10 foreign crops, shows how impotent
it is for that end. Aud yet Notwithstanding
the foreign market is maniestly an ob;ec,
ofthc fist importance, we seek as much as
possible TO restrict and cripple it. by inter-
dieting foreign msnufactures. If by lib
cral policy VIC should receive the English
goo]s, it is plain that their disposition and a.
bility TO purchase our grains would be in
creased, We cut off their goods, and the
consequence is, tina, it is only in extreme
cases, in fact, upon compulsjon, that they
receive our products. Nor by any means
docs the tariff make up this difference, bv
AN increased home market or home price, as
is sufficiently manifest by the daily business
Of the country.

nothing of importance except with regard TO
crops. BY our Buffalo aud other papers we
perceive that rise in grain was the imme-

effect here of,course. We have an idea
that the European crop is not short, in any
degree, as appears TO be anticipated. We

and rush was made on the receipt of foreign
news; the next arrival put difieren, face
on the matter, and a corresponding depress-
ion followed. The rise now is on as slight
grounds rs then, and quite as likely TO be
met withcontradictory news.

of,he Texas Constitution, exempting a GER

been expressed by scores of other promi-
nent men ofthe party. Why, even An
