M We have copied all that is material OF the
principal Editorial in yesterdays Ne,rs, that our
readers, aud especially the People OF CoHNEcTrcuT,
may see that Loco Focoism persists IN ITS deadly
hostiiitv to the Protectirc Policy This will be de-
MED or disguised in Connecticut, as 1t was boldly
lied down in Pennsylvania, and yet the tact is un-
deniably plain TO all who are well informed The
new Administration must and will assai the Tariff
as soon as it shall have secured the Annexation of
Texas The bulk Of its support Is anti-Ianti-its
instincts, its leading organs, point that way. What
ever policy il based on the assumption OF a common
interest between the Laborer and the Capitalist,
the Workman and the Employer, wars with the
fundamental principle and threatens 10 paralyze the
most potent engine of Loco-Focolsm
The News, it will be seen, now makes the broad
issue which it meanly skulked on the eve of the
late Presidential Election, dodsins behind 'l"Si-
dental bubbles and making the contest mainly on
Mr.. Clay's duels and the fate OF poor Ciliey' =
There is nothing special or incidental in It's arii-
Gle above quoted-it takes the broad ground OF war
to the kaife not against the provisions OF the pre-
sent Tariff, but against the policy and PRINCIPE of
Protection. We tried hard TO meet the News on
this ground last fall, but it fought shy. Now that
the Election is over the cloven foot Is boldly dis
played.
We cannot realize that an honest man could as
ser so many untruths as are contained IN the above
extracts Let us cite few OF them:
The Protective Policy has been pursued for tho last
quarter OF O century.
No such thing A partially Protective Tariff was
adopted in 1924, and increased in lS2S; but 1t was
Gu, down in 1882, and in 1888 commenced a grad
ual reduction 10 a naked Revenue standard, which
!, reached in lSil-2 In ~, new Protective
Tariff was enacted, which still exists, though It's
good is partially neurazed by the constant
fear thnt il will be abolished or seriously mod
fled Is not the assertion utterly. mlschlevously
false that the Protective Policy has been pursued
for the last twenty-five years
@ The dry goods purchased by the needle women were
taxed so per swell the dividends OF the corporation
Such assertions are easily made aud, II true,
easily proved Will the News. then, be good
enough TO favor US with list OF dry goods pur-
chased by our neede-women' which the present
Tariff has enhanced in price so per cent or any
thing like it Here is a most vital difference, and
one easily brought TO the arbitrament of naked fact
The News assumes that the dry goods IN question
cest 50 per cent more because OF the Tarift We
maintain that, in the average, these goods are as
cheap 20 day they IN the drsroge during any
t,po gears Of loic duties, We have submitted evil
dence directly TO this point time and again We are
ready with mountains OF II. But nobody, surely,
who bays dry goods can need any evidence.
Whoever will compare prices and qualities OF dry
goods in lS40, l, .. with those OF similar articles
now, must k,.o,r that there has been no such ad-
vance as the News pretends, and in truth no general
advance al all.
We need no, 80 on to retu:e in detail the minor
mlsstatements OF our Free Trade cotenporar
They all rest upon the basis winch we have here
directly impugned. AS il is certainly false that the
material of common shirt cost lsi cents more now
than under Revenue duty il canno, be true tha,
shirts are for this ouuse made cheaper now than
formerly No man should put forth such assertions
as those of the News without having facts 10 sus-
tain them and we now call on the News for evi-
dence in suppor, OF its bold assertion tha, . TIE

relied the manufacturers Of clothing 10 redsct the
,rugss Of labor" Name one man, neighbor, who has
thus been compelled 10 cut down BY the enhanced
price of his raw material. Then tell Us who is

Blu, the rule of selling all and buying nothing
will no, work Indeed, won',it? When did VIC
ever try it Since the present Tariawss imposed,
we have bought over Two Hundred Millions OF
Dollars worth OF Foreign Produc,s-more thanwe
could honestly pay for; since several of our States
suffer the interest due their Foreign creditors 10 so
unpaid for alleged lack Of means. II we were sell
ing all and buying nothing, We should very soon pay
our interes, promptly, or have no Foreign Deb, 10
pay interest upon.
TIE mino, peryerscns Of the News, involved in
the terms special privileges, &c. may as well be
noticed. The Tariff secures no special privileges
10 any body. II, by shutting out, TO some extent,
Foreign Cloths, it momentarily raises the pricc OF
the corresponding Domestic fabrics, 1t inevitably
temp,s more capital, skill and enterprise into the
cloth-making business, until the market is glntted
and prices brought down. THIS law is Just as IN
