A BRITISH TARIFF IMPOSED UPON
GNINRICAI

Tho die is cast BY the casting vote Of Vice
President tteacherous 10 his former sentiments, 10
his pledges and to his State, and by the aid of a
single Wing who had not the moral courage either
10 actu up to the convictions Of his own mind in de-
fanco Of Instructions, or to resign his seat-the
wretched bill "redtcing The duty on imports, ,nAai
for otter purposes" has received the sanction of
the Senate. The passage of this bill is total sur
render of that doctrine of Protection which was
born with the declaration Of Independence, which
in fact produced the Constitution of the United
States and which was fuy recognized by the first
Congress that assembled under that instrument.
We say the bill is a total surrender Of that ancieLt
doctrine and we say it, not because the bill will
not in some degree operate to the protection Of
certain interests but because the principle of pro-
lection is utterly abandoned by its authors and by
the present government. "The protective policy
had now gone and gone forever" was the language
Of one Of the most Jealous supporters Of this BILL
Its passage is hailed ga glorious triumph Of the
South"-the South long known for its hostility 10 the
Protective System. The author Of this bill declar-
ed in his last report to Congress- that any bill which
departed from the single purpose Ct raising roVe
nue. IS unconstitutional, tsee Walkers report, page
z, and the President in his Message uttered the
same false doctrine In principle, the bill is anti
protective and subversve Of the policy Of the gov
eminent from the beginning: yet there are provis
ions in it incongruous with this principle, bun
they were introduced simply to buy votes enough
to carry the bill. The locofocos of Maine were
bribed by bounty on fish, equal to the duty or
salt, and the locofocos of New York were bribed
by duty on the very salt which these fishermen
are privileged to have duty free
The main feature of this bill is, that it reduce:
the duty on foreign productions with the purpose
Of getting more revenue. by encouraging larger in,
pOrtationS. The plan is to encourage British man.
ufacturers to sell us more, and to discourage Amer
lean manufacturers so that they shall produce less
and necessarily the effect of it will be to give in
creased activity to British labor in every branch
and to lessen the demand for American labor. This
is then emnently British bill-an antl-Americal
bill repeal Of the Declaration of independence
We will not say that the supporters of this bill are
all alike traitors their pledges and TO their coun
try: some of them may be patriotic men at heart
may be honestly mistaken but the land will mourn
for the treachery Of one portion and the errors Of
the rest. We record their names, TO be remember
ed for the future by every freeman:

WAREHOUSE BILL.

The Government seems entirely 10 have forgotten
that charity should begn at homo. Foreign goods,
and The importers thereof, are kindly remembered
at Washington, while the promises of Polk and the
dcarcss interests of our own people are shamcfuly
neglected BY the Polk Tariff the duties on for
ign productions are materially reduced, and through
the system of nd uaiorem duties, the door is lcf)
wide open for frauds; we say ,Dide open, for there
is no check against frauds provided in the bill
except by an appraisal by custom house appraisers
gentlemen whose fingers may be tipped with
" British gold" as they have been in former times
What they may DO has been pretty well cEcmplif-
cd in the alcdged enormous importotions Of cheap

This Tariff is what it purports to be, I" An act
reducing The duty on imports and for other purpos
cs,"--these other purposes being TO enlarge the
importations of foreign productions, create heavy
foreign debt and embarrasss American manufac-
lures and American Agriculture. But it is not G.
nough TO reduce the duties on foreign goods and
adopt the nd valorem system; there has been a
Hare. housing bill passed, the effect of which is to
give importers gears time in phich 10 pay The du-
ties on their goods, and opeh rev door for fraud
by allowing the delivery of goods Piece-meal on the
payment Of duties. Verify, verify, the merchants
of other lands cannot complain of Polkery.

THE SIJB-TREASUR,Y

Was pressed upon the Senate as sOon as the
Tariff of 1912 had been repealed, and we call the
attention of the reader to the fact, that onS ednes-
day the organ of the administration (Mf Lewis
boldly proposed to make this bill, in effect, char
Ter fora monsrous GOVERNMENT BANR, to
issue paper without limit! This proposition was
rejected by strong vote-yet it was an admins
hation measure, backed by the Secretary of the
Treasury. Are the men in power intoxicated
Do they not remember the suferings of the nation
from 1887 to 1910, and the terrible indignation OF
the American people against the Free Trade and
Sub Treasury policy? Let them shut their eyes
and stop their ears, and 60 on in the work of ruin,
blindly and recklessly, if they will-they will reap
a whirlwind of popular Indignation in 1913.

THE DUTY ON WOOL.

The real differences between the Tariff of 1912
and Folks British Tariff, so far the duty on wool
is concerned, are these:
On coarse wool, costing cents, which does not
compete with ours, the Polk Tariff gives one cent
seven mills and half more duty per pound than the
Tariff Of 1912 the Wing Tariff giving 81 mills,
and the Polk Tariff Fl mills, per pound. On all
other wool, which does compete with ours, the Tar
if of 1912 gives three cents per pound more duty
Than does Poh's 1driG. This is the exact differ
ence between the provisions OF the two.
Folks apologists may dolheir best to pull the
wool over the eyes of the farmers, and to swindlc
them into the support Of a measure which will
prove injurious to them; but these facts they dare
not deny. 1t is only from the Wing Tariff; as mos
grossly and criminally violated by locofoco Elk
ecutive, that they derive any foundation at al
| for their delusive assertions.

WE TOLD YOU SO.

Time and again, in 1874, did the Wing orators
and Wing presses warn both the Locos and the
third party, that if they refused to act with the
Wings, Texas would come into the Union and he'
representatives rould go for arepeaL Of The Tariff
Senate on McKay's British bill.
The ayes were %, noes 27-both Texas Sena-
tors voting in the affirmative.
Had not Texas been admitted, the vote would
have stood thus
Ayes 26-Noes 81,
and the bill would have been rejected.

~ 1t is unfortunate that the learned Doctors of
Democracy wofully disagree. DIR. Eastman of the
Patriot goes the whole figure for ad valorem duties,
and AYERS that the British bill is first rate medicine
for Wool growers. Now let us hear DR.. Niles of
the Senate:
ain his opinion, there were great interests Of the
country NOT sufficiently cherished by the bill
IRON and WOOL [by the way, both Vermont in.
terests, were amongst those interests, and he lear-
ed very much Me financial effects Of The bill tcomd be
LNJURIOUS"
Again says DR.. Niles of this bills
alt indeed appeared that there was no fixed prin-
cipe about it, except one, and that al ualOrem-a
principle neio aouel, and experimental, never acted
upon by any Government upon earth. lie could
not sustain such principle, as a reversed all The
principles aOhich their finances had been raised"
So these learned Locofoco Doctors exactly con-
tradict each other, while Doctor Dillingham; stands
between the two apparently so obfuscacd as moi
to dare to give any opinion at all. We sympathize
with our afflicted friends in the Locofoco ranks J.;
it is shockingly bad 10 have doctors quarreng so
when the patient lies at the point Of death for wan
OF competent physicians. Gentlemen, we think o
nothing that will do except a change Of doctors.

The character of the new Tariff is summed up
in a few words proposed by Mr. Stewart of Penn,
as its title viz
"a bill to reduce the duties on the luXurles of
the rich, and increase them on the necessarles OF
the poor; to bankrupt the treasury; strike down
American Farmers mechanics, and worslngmen
to make way for the products of foreign agriculture
and foreign labor to destroy American competition
and thereby establish foreign monopoly in the
American markets, and by adopting the principles
of free trade to reduce the now prosperous labor
of this country to the degraded level OF the paupei
labor of Europe, and finally to destroy the prosper
ity and independence of these United states anc
q gain reduce them to the condition OF colonies ant
| dependencies Of Great Britain"

CONSOLATORY.

While the British Tariff will nnct serious inu-

consolation in the belief that this blow aimed at the
