These manufacturers hear that certain law is re.

prosperity ia at end. They do not rely like the
rest Of their lellowcitZens upon their industry and

law, and they prosper-Congress repeals the
law, and they are ruined. These
have embarked in pursuit that depends,

cess or ruin, while the great mass Of their fellow
citizens left TO rely solely upon the keenness of
their wits and the force Of their muscles If then

PANIC!
The wings are determined 10 have a panic
Without such excitement they die. The war pes
thence, and famine panic, the United States Bank
panic, the depOste bank panic, the Oge spoon NOR
al panic the panic OccasIoned by the stop-and-pay
| law are all memorable instances OF whg political
strategy. Like the quack who always threw his
patient into hts, because he had a natural gin at
curing hts, they seem 10 feel, that unless they
can getup CONFUSION, they will not be able to
show of their skill. After the overthrow of 1874,
they deiberatel set to work 10 produce artificial
CONFUSION IN business, and with the most i'm pudent
effrontery and falsehood they set up, by concert,
the cry that the prosperity Of the country was
| Frustrated; that commerce and manu- hctures must
be suspended, and that the ruin must forthwith be
avenged by the discharge Of all The demOeraic Iabo-
rers IN The employment Of Uhig eapiiGlis CHOSE bLs

pressure This latter suggestion originated with
the Tribune, peculiar friend Of protection to labor
of the wing school
In spite Of this the country and the people obsti-
nately went on without CONFUSION. Then the Brat
ish war panic was started, then followed the Mexi-
can war panic, but with miserable i'll luck consider
ing how pracused were the hands that sought TO get
them up. For want OF panic the wing party was
gradually laPslng into popular forgetfuness.
They therefore have recommended with tariff
panic AT one time there great danger that this
scheme would be nipped in the bud. comprO-
mise hastily suggested by several wing papers, and
ardently desired by the manufacturers was prompt

''all or none" Of the protection of 1912; and who
told the manufacturers that they did not know their
true interests, and that could be made out Of

mise IL was with this view Of making political
capital that Mr.. Crlttenden aVowed that he did not
wish the bill improved; that Mr.. Jarnagin voted

We shall see how the game succeeds! One thing,

From the n. Y. Globe.
According to the declaration of the wing papers,
and some others claiming TO be considered demo-
cratce-such the American Sentinel, the Spirit
of the Tunes and the North Amercan-papers
published in Philadelphia--the country has been
ruiLed again by the passage of the tariff bill.
We hope readers will excuse us for our fire.
quent mention of the tariff matter; for so
many nonsenslcal announcements of ruin and dis
tress in consequence of the passage of Mr. Nc
Rays bill, that we must have word or two to say
whether they are tired of the subject or not. We
take up paper now, and that which contains
violent article against the new tariff and in other
parts of 1t paragraphs appear to the effect that
certain extensive manufacturer obliged to
pend business on account of the passage Of the tariff
bill. The iron men are more brazen in this respect
than those who work in BRASS copper, zinc, and
other materials Of the sort; for they seem to be
ruined "cass" entirely, and have been worse treat
ed if we may believe them, than any others, by
the present Congress. As is usual in such cases.
the democratic party is to blame, and the State Of
Pennsylvania, the same good old democratic State
that was ruined by the veto of Andrew Jackson on
the bank BILL Is the chief and prominent sufferer.
If could be accurately ascerained how often the
democratic party has ruined the great Keystone
State, should be very glad to the matter forth
in the columns of the Globe. But what good would
even that do' The rank and file of the people of
| the State, the farmers, the merchants the mechan-
les and others who ,oork for their livelihood in
stead of depending on the interest of their surplus
capital would give the lie to all the about
distress, trouble, and misery, and would say that
the State had never been ruined at all! II is great
pity for the iron manufacturers Of that State that
they are not citizens; for if they were their stories
Of ruin would have greater effect. As it is, how
ever, they have to depend for what sympathy is ex
pressed in their behalf, on their money alone,
whereas il they were native-bom Pennsylvanians
they could bring that circumstance to bear in their
| favor
The new tariff bill is passed, and the secret Of the
opposition to it is that the government gave larger
gratuty under the act Of l942 to persons engaged
in manufactures than be derived from the pres
ent tariff In some of the States of the Union there
is bounty offered on crows heads, and this boun-
ty induces sundry sorts of persons to go a crow
shooting. The farmer, who is most concerned in
the determination of the crow family, cares less
about it, apparently, than the gunner who loafs
about on every body's premises, and has plenty of
time to spare. The farmer is not allured by the
bounty TO leave his crops, and go forth to seek fer
| tune on the wing; but The loafer gentleman who is
