Pounds. Dollars.

twill be seen by the above table, that in
1s42, for 8 months, from the LIST Of October
to June 80, l84S, there were only about
three millions and half pounds imported.
This was owing to the supposed operation
of the new tariff Of l642. 1t was supposed
that this cheap wool was subjected to duty
of 80 per cent. and 3 cents per pound
But the manufacturers succeeded in getting
decision to the contrary and it was entered
at duty Of five per cent, The importation
then began to increase, and the next year
it will be perceived it swelled to the large
quantity of zoos, 406 pounds.
In 1645, it increased SO much as entirely
to break down the price Of the American
wool. It reached 23,s33, ,O4O pounds.
Amount of duty collected on %, 1892 ,099
pounds $77, $50 45.
Duty on same under M'Kay's bill would
be $466, 136 10, being about sac times as
much as ander the old law. 4
The manufacturers have always alleged
that this wool did not interfere with Ameri-
can wool, being used for blankets and car
pets, but recent statistics sho,p that not more
than one fourth offhs quantity Is used IN all
the carpet and blanket manafaciories in the
country. s

Can on the Auditor.

The Star recommends 10 the tax payers
of Portage County, ''to call at the Auditors
Office and examine the duplicaten to ascer.
tain whether their taxes will be largely in.
lcreased or not. That the taxes of many
persons will be materially lessened for the
present gear by the operation of this law,
we have never pretended to doubt or deny,
but that, when the law shall go into full
operation, and the land Of the farmer is as
sesed at four and five times its present val
uation, the taxes will be much heavier upon
the agriculturalists, is equally certain. This
attempt of our neighbor to deceive the peo-
pie in reference to the operations of this
law, by endeavoring to show that their
taxes for the present year will be diminish.
ed, will prove entirely abortive. we say,
call at the Auditors Office, and let every
farmer examine for himself, and he will
see that his land is assessed at from four to
five times as high as formerly, and then
let him ask himself if when he shall pay
his taxes next year,he will not have totpay
nearly if not quite double what he now pays
upon the same land. The whig leaders
have prcfssssd that this law would relieve
the burden of the farmer, but its operations
cannot but convince any one that its Of
fects will be directly the reverse. This
promise to tighten the taxes of the farmer
and laborer is no new game with them. 1t
under such pretences that they expect to
gull men into their support. They al
ways pretend great affection to the labor
ing classes. They create horde ofbanks
and exempt them from taxation, except
upon their profits, (all for the benefit
of the ''dear people,") which in the course
of a few years will "wind up" and leave
their worthless trash upon the hands Of
those who have paid the amount for which
they call, for them, and which are even
now at discount of from IL to per cent,
all for the benefit Of the people whom they
love so dearly. They never are the au-
thors ofany measures which are not calcu-
lated to relieve the people-of the loose
change they may have about them.

The Wings and DiSuniOn.

The whig Congressional Convention for
the Goth District which met at Painesville
on the Goth inst, nominated Joshua R.
Giddings for reelection. Giddings, like
Tilden, from this district, declares that "the
Union is already dissoIusd," yet they both
seem quite willing to mis-represent their
respective districts in Congress and draw
from the peoples treasury their SO per day.
Crowell, the whig nominee in this district,
in order to secure the nomination, was
compelled to define his position before the
Convention, and we are informed that he
endorsed FULLY the course of Tilden and
Giddings.
Let the people of the 10th Congressional
district say whether they will sanction that
course or not, at the polls. Let them de-
termine whether that government which
was established by the blood and toll Of their
fathers-the freest and best government
upon earth-shall be demolished by their
aid. VIII the people listen to the advice
of the immortal Washington and stand by
the Union, or will they be led on by the
fanatical followers of Abby Kelley Foster
and her infamous husband to aid in the de-
struction ofa government which they have
ever cherished for the freedom and blessings
it affords?

@ Is tia matter Of surprise to any one
that the monopolizing manufacturers and
wealthy nabobs Of the country should op-
pose any alteration of a tariff which has
taxed heaviest those articles consumed by
the poorer classes, and lightest those con-
sumed by the rich9 The new tariff law
lowers the duty uponthe iron used in the log
chains, axes, and hoes of the farmer, and
increases the duty on the luxuries, such as
rich wines, brandy, and the fneries, used
almost exclusively by the wealthy. Any
measure which tends to tighten the burdens
of the producing millions will meet with
opposition from the whig leaders; but it will
receive the support of those who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.

Mr.. EDIroR:-Permit me through your
paper to PROFOUND the following interroga-
tory to my Whig friends:
Do you intend to keep A. H. Lewis in
the Legislature during life? =,
He has already been there THREE win
ters; TWO of which he received the same
salary as a member. Isn't that sufficient
rssvard to young man for his party SER
vicss }?
But I am opposed to keeping him there
longer from another consideration: south.
srn climate (what else can it be?) seriously
effects his optics! In IA he was sufficient
ly sharp-sighted to see most Of people as he
passed them; (though it is believed that his
vision was somewhat injured the previous
winter, for even then he made some mis-.
takes by candlekghtI but since his recent
promotions he is entirely unable to see the
Ignorant rabble," as che passes by on the
other side"-doubtless thinking that
"Optics keen 1t needs I wecn,
To see what ought not to be seem"
1t will probably require quite as "keen
optics" 10 see Mr.. Lewis name on the bal
lot of A WHIG.

CoNsoLING. An honest whig, not long
since, while conversing with a desperate,
obstructive locofoco" upon the subject Of
the tax law, was forced to acknowledge tina,
its operations were grossly unequal, and
that it would weigh heavily upon the farm
er, but consoled himself after the manner
Of the Dutchman who fell and broke his leg;
he was exceedingly thankful that the ca
lamity which had befallen him was nc
worse. "This law it was true, was no,
what it should be- but then," said he, ssi,
might be! even worse than If is.''

A SLIGHT MisTAKE. The Star of last

/ A SLIGHT MisTAKE. Star Of last
week contains an article upon the subject Of
the tax law copied from some other paper
without credit, stating in the body Of the
article, in large capitals that merchants
capital, money at interest," &c, at once
run up from asevsn to THIRTY MILL
IONS OF DOLLARS!" The table which
is published in connection with the same
article shows that instead of thirty it should
read thirteen millions. We cannot be-
lieve that the error was intentional, yet
there are many who would read the article
without referring to the table and thereby
be led into gross error. 1t should be cor
rected.

Prescription under cover Of Panic.

ry Of having first suggested to lis whip
manufacturing friends this beautiful method
Of prescription. In an article which appear
ed on the 18th Of November 1874, this
long-tongued protectionist journal has the
following passage:

risen from state of Slavery it was only
after having tasted the sweets and enjoyed
the advantages of freedom that they were
qualified to resist all efforts to bring them
into bondage again. In state ofSlavery
this was entirely beyond their capacity.
With what show Of reason. then can the
"Friends Foster" assert that disunion will
destroy slavery. With how much better
reason might they say that this measure
would perpetuate the institution with all
its horrors. Disunion would throw the
south upon her own resources, rouse all
her energies and we should find her amply
able to sustain her position for any length
of time, without our aid. How supremely
ridiculous then for men (it may do for a
sooman) to claim thai disunion would re-
suit in the abolition of slavery. The great
mass of our. woman have too much knowl-
edge and good sense to entertain an idea SO
perfectly fallacious. A few, and only a
