ees beg to refer Mr. Walker to the reports from
the customs, and ask the favor Of him to present
them to the President, and he will there find the
only article on which the poor man is taxed to any
extent, is sugar, and that cannot be deemed very
onerous when he obtains his tea and coffee free of
duty, and with favorable prospect, if the present
duty be maintained, of very soon being supplied
from our own soil with sugar, at price much be-
low that paid. 1t is error of the President and
Secretary to put forth statement that the tariff of
lS42 Expresses the poor man-when the principal
part OF the revenue is derived rather from the luxu-
ries, than the necessaries of life.
When we hear from high sources Of transferring
our workshops to Manchester Birmingham and
Leeds, should be glad to know if it be proposed
to transfer our intelligent working men with them,
and whether farmer in Ohio can be made to be-
ieve that these men will eat more OF his beef and
pork in Old than in New England. This is
strange doctrine, and il seems 10 me quite anti
American, and Just such sentiments as were ut.
tered by the old Tories previous TO the Revolution
AIRY War.
There is one other point to which shall allude
in the Report Of the Hon. Secretary. He says that
the wages of labor lower now, than previous to
the tariff OF lS42. II he means the wages Of labor
in the manufacturing portion Of the country, will
state fact, which, think, completely illustrates
the incorrectness OF his assertion.
