You navea horror OF systems and to principles you
declare that there in social economy we will
therefore say your practice, your practice without the
DRY and without principle Weare suffering from the
intoierable competition Of a foreign rival, who is
placed, as 1t seems TO us, in condition infinitely
superior to US for the production Of light, that he
mandates our national market marvelously reduced
price, for lie shows himself our sale ceases
all consumers apply TO him, and branch Of French
industry, of which the notifications are nnumerable
Is immediately thrown into state of complete stag
nation. This rival, who is no other than the Sun
wages such furious warfare against US that we sus-
Pect he is melted by perfdous Albion (good diplomacy
as times go,) lna5much as he shows towards that
naughty island a consideration which he withholds
from US. We pray that you will be pleased to make
law ordering that ali windows, skylghts inside and
outside shutters, curtains, fan-lghs, bus-eyes car
rage blinds IN short, that all openings holes chinks
and crevces, should be closed by which the light of
the penetrate into houses to the injury of the
hourishing trades with which have endowed our
country, which cannot now, without ingratitude
abandon us to so unequal contest Be pleased gen.
temen, not to mistake our demand for satire, and at
least not refuse 1t without listening TO the arguments
which we bring forward to support il; In the first
place, If you shut out much possible all access
to natural light, what French industry exists which
will not in some measure be encouraged, if more
tallow Is consumed, more oxen and sheep must be
raised, and in consequence, more meadows will be
cultivated there will be more meat, more WOOL more
hides, and above all, manure which is the found
alton of all agricultural riches. If more oil is
seed will be extended. The rich and exhausting
plants will profit by the fertility which the raising of
cattle will have communicated to the soil.
"Our lands will be covered with resinous trees.
lnnumerable swarms of bees will gather from our
mountains the perfnmed treasures which exhale,
without utility, like the flowers from which they er1a-
nate. There is not branch of agriculture which
will not be greatly extended The results will
follow to our navigation thousands of vessels will
be engaged in the whale fishing. and in short time,
we shall have marine capable of UNFOLDING the
honor of France and of satisfying the patriotic sus-
ceptbility of the undersigned petitioners candle
Makers &c. And farther, in articles of Partisan
manufacture, consider how many gilt, bronze and glass
chandeliers lamps, lustres and candebras burn,
IN the spacious houses which will take the place
of present shops There will be 10 one, from the
poor collector of turpentine the summit of his
mountain, to the unfortunate miner at the bottom
of his coal-pit, whose wages will not be increased,
and whose condition will not be improved. Consider
the matter, gentlemen, and you must be convinced
that there will not be Frenchman from the most
opulent STAKEHOLDER Of Amin 10 the most humble
matchseler in the kingdom, whose condition will not
be amelioraed through the success Of our petition.
EFFECTS OF THE New TARIFF.-We record, says
the Pennsylvanian the progress of ruin" since the
new Tariff has passed Congress, with profound sor-
row.
A very distinguished manufacturer who contem-
plated driving carriage and six horses, proof
of the prosperity of the people under the Tariff OF
1912, has been forced to abandon the idea, and to
drive carriage and four, as usual
Another very eminent and pubic-spirited citizen,
who had been foremost in the of the
ment of domestic industry, and had already made out
order for heavy supply of Italian marble mantels
and other ornaments for his new six story residence
has countermanded the aforesaid order, and is
forced to rely upon the marble of his own country
we-known ron-master, VINO has been making
twenty-five per cent. under the law of 1912, on his
investment, and who, per consequence, intended i'm
porting supply of elegant German and French wines
has been forced to give up the idea because. under
the new law, he will make but ten or fifteen per cent
on his investment.
We announce, further, and with ineffable regret,
that some of our most respectable and influential
capitalists, who had made arrangements for large
supplies of new French furniture and clothes, will be
prevented from accomplishing their desires under the
Tariff law, and will be obliged to encourage
Riddell and Carpenter, as formerly.
Orders, without number, for shawls, costing three
four hundred dollars each for dress patterns, cost
ing two hundred dollars piece; for article Of
Partisan fans, that worth each ore hundred dol
lars, have been unavoidably withdrawn.
We chronicle these facts with regret. They show
the mournu state of things consequent upon the pas
sage of the tariff BILL and point conclusvely to the
downward tendency of business, domestic industry and
confidence In addition to these melancholy instances
there is another fact much more important. StGrrd
tioH threatens the nation The ports of greedy Eng
land and furnished Ireland opened to corn and
wheat-our flour and our Indian meal-and 1t IS hon
estly to be feared that the broad fields of the Union
will not suffice to feed all England and America tc
boot
Such are some of the fruits of the Tariff of 1916
Such few of the consequences Of the election "i
