Ertract from a Letter from IN Intelligent
gengeman in PAiiadelphie, {Ock ~

In regird 10 the Tariff question it appears
clear TO my mind that if the Wings desire TO
get control Of the Government and country,
they should fold their arms, and, without the
slightest resistance, permit the par y in pow
ef to cut down the duties on imports TO an
average of twenty per cent; because such a
tariff bill would strike a fatal blow at all the
great interests of the people, no matter what
may be their occupation; and in that event
as in 1910 there would be a great revolution
in public sentiment, the result Of which
would be in favor q Wing measures-meas-
ures which we all know revived within the
last 3 years all branches of business. But
if the Wings desire TO see the country pros
porous and happy, without reference TO the
succession, they should stand by the Tariff
ofIS42 as long as their is a shot in the locker.
In my humble opinion, the Mexican-Texas
question, the Oregon question, and all other
questions, whether foreign or domestic, sink
into utter insignifcance when compared TO
the tariff question, or whether the country
shall continue prosperous or become almost
bankrupt, as it was in the Administration
which preceded the election of Gen. HAIR
RIsoN. Living as do by commerce, /, in
common with nearly all the merchants that |
associate with, stand up for The Tariff as II
is; because it does not Cypress any class, the
average prices of all articles, foreign or do
mestic, being cheaper than ever known
befo re. The truth is, the attack upon the
tariff by Messrs. WALKER & Co. is purely
political, and if they succeed in ii they will
regret the consequences 10 the last day of
their lives, live they to the age of Methuss-

Hoes IN ~INpIANA.--Hear what the Brook
vile American of Oct. I'd, says about The
prospect in regard TO Pork the approaching
Sc ason--
''Early in the spring the prospect for pork
was good, Every farmer made his calculations
largely for corn and hogs. Every thing has
been prosperous. Better corn crops have
never blessed the farmers of the entire hog
raising world. More corn fields, larger or
better ones, have never covered the face of
the West. But says some, there is not stock
hogs enough 10 feed. This we consider a
mistaken idea. 1t is true there are but few
stock hogs to be bought, for the reason that
every man has such IN abundance of corn to
feed them, and the prospect for pork IS so
good that they will not sell them. And we
predict now, and we do it upon some knowl-
edge of the facts, that the pork this year will
far exceed in quality and quantity any former
year, and nearly double that Of last year.
The hogs, too, will be larger and fatter. Last
winter was very easy on stock hogs, and the
pastures for hogs have been good most ofthe
season. And the corn, which the farmers
saved last fall, and expected TO get a high
price for, has this summer been fed out to
hogs. In these matters We speak from actu-
al knowledge ia many Instances"
