The evident design here is 10 insinuate. Dc.
cause the Tariff of 40 imposed higher duties
on such imported articles ms come in cornpc
tition with the products of our labor and low
er on such as do not, that therefore the Whig
Tariff desiguedy discrimuatcs to make dear
the articles consumed by the Poor and to
cheaper those consumed by the Rich. We
despise the mean souled villains who could
make that insinua;ion too intensely to repg
to their caunny. Every man ofthem know,
better-knows that no such thought eve
entered the heads of those who framed IT,
Tariff of 40 There may be some who haa
ignoranily repeat The SANDER, but its author,
in all their lives. To attempt a formal refuu.
tioh of their deceit would be dignifying it aud
them unwsely and unjustly. a judge on the
bench might us well argue with IA convicted
on the inuliiIy and impropriety
ofcounterfGiiing us a vocation
But the direct, unmstakable falsehoods
embodied in the table now going the rounds
of the journals, including some which cannot
be conscious parties TO the fraud demand ey-

These, be it remembered, are from q table
IT articles picked out by an opponent TO show
he injustice Of the tariff of 40 and the supe-
ioIl'y VI tildt OI 40. It's assertions that the
uty of 1912 on Madeira Wines is but fire pr.
ent. that on Wilton Carpets but %, that on
ilk handkerchief but 16, &cSc. are frauds
f the grossest character. Ask our makers
fine Carpets whether the new 30 per cent
n Wilton will be higher than the unmistak-
bic % cents per square yard of the Wing
'ariff Who eun be made to believe that
he 90 cents per yard on Wilton Carpets is
ut % per cent. and that the 30 cents per vd.
n Treble Ingram amounts to 70 per cent?
not here manifest misstatement?
Ofcourse, the soul of Loco Focoism is in
avail at the spectacle ofhigh specific duties
n Imported Wood-Screws, Glass, Mousselin
= Lains, Cables and Cordage, sc. which
1me in direct competition with the products
American Labor, as imported Wines do.
d. The impression sought to be given is.
lat our People have been obliged to nav
ger prices since 1S42 for the articles lust
amed because of the duties thereon. But
rs impression is the very reverse ofthe truth.
lass Tumblers, Pins and Mousselin de
aines were never afforded cheaper to A.
erican consumers than they now are--ney
so cheap before 1912 as since that time.
