/ Ohio as can be produced oy one Gays laoor II
England Nyou mean this, the absurdity of your
position renders criticism needless if you do not
mean 10 assert something like this, your quip is
flimsy enough, and all your superimposed sssump-
tons OF OF labor and capital &c fall to the
ground Prove that the American People may
fairly be kened to tailor, who must consume four
OF FIVE days in making shabby pair OF shoes when
the shoemaker next door stands ready TO make him
better pair for one days work with his needle and
goose and we give it up. But ali tha, it is incum
bent on you to prove you take for granted-tre have
endeavored a, the hazard OF being deemed tedious
or common. places TO snow that your assumptions
are unfounded-that our Laboring People can
clothe themselves cheaper by making here their
own Cloths from their own Cotton, Wool and Silk,
than by exporting these TO England and importing
in turn their Manufactures. What is there ia this
analogous TO raising pine apples in London or set
ting tailors TO shoe making
3. Your assumption of three barrels of Flour be-
ing equred TO pay for certain Cloths now that two
barrels would buy under fifteen per cent. duty
would be plausible if it were proved, l. That we
are still obliged to buy our Cloths OF British manu-
facturers under the enhanced duty .. That they
charge as much for them as they would if the duty
were but nominal; 8 That the price OF homemade
Cloths is not diminished and the quality improved
as the Home Manufacture is matured, extended. and
diversified But since the facts are exactly and no.
toriously opposite on all these points the conclusion
il different of course. We dare you to name the
fabric, very few rude and bulky articles excepted
which has not been cheapened TO the American con-
sumer under the operation Of the Protective Taritt
! of 1912 For every article on which Protective
dntv was imposed by this Tariff which you will
prove 10 bear higher price now than when that
Tariff was imposed, we will show you t'centy inal
have been decidedly cheapened under its operation
4 AS 10 Monopoly and anti Monopoly, OF which your
school has so much say, we invite the whole OF you
TO the mos, unlimited freedom IN manufacturing
among US. Mr.. Golden. foreigner and alien though
he be. shall have an equal chance with Aooo't Law
renee; you or any of your friends with Nathan APP
pleton. Send or bring your Capital. your SkllI,
vour Machinery, your Workmen and if our Manu-
facturers do not make as good fabrics or sell them
as cheaply as the best of yours jest run them
under and take the command OF our msrkets we
profer YOU an open field and fair play; and II our
folks are making the profits your organs assert or
insnuate YOU will surely have bounaful harvest
All we ask Isl real reciprocity between the Farmer
and the Manufacturer-not that deusive Pretence OF
reciprocity which only can exist between the farmer
of Ohio and the mill.owner Of Birmingham. Your
markets may be very good for those who can reach
them at small cost bat for the mass of our Farmers
they are mockery. Not one-fourth of them could
send you the products they can easiest produce in
superfuty at such rate as to pay the bare cost OF
transportation.
s. We tempted to say something OF the boast
ed influence of Commerce in spreading "Civiliza-
ton and Christianity 10 the remote corners OF the
world but on the whole will bite our lips and keep
silence So of War, which almost always takes
place between Nations commercially entanged;
rarely between those which have little no trade
Bat enough
ET- The Erenlng Posts correspondent asserts
and the Editor endorses the charge that goods were
exhibited at the late National air marked al prices
lower thar the ocnerS 7couN sell them tor-that in
several instances those prices were offered and re-
fused! Every man must see that charge OF dis
honesty so fragrant this ought TO have been sus
tanned by the specification of instances and Names
and that its utterance in loose generality is utterly
ndefensble. That it is essentially, libelously false
we have not a shadow Of doubt Very probably
goods were asked for after they had been sold, and
! when they could not Of course be delivered TO any
other than the original purchaser. How wrong TO
make charges of shameful fraud on such basis -
Let the writer specify any one he would charge with
such iniQuity and he shall either vindicate himself
conclusvelyor be gibbeted TO mmeasurable infamy
The Editor of the Post adds this:
hear at he iohhers NJ
and other places were exceedingly indignant al finding the
prices affixed 20 the manufactures exhibited the fair
much lower than those who purchased them Of the
facurers for sale In large quantities could possibly afford
10 sell them for
" The jobbers of Philadel phia." Here is some
thing approaching specification. We de-
mand of the Pos, that it call out these jobbers-
/ Surely il can bring some TO the stand II THE
jobbers were so indisnant-We happen TO have
observed however that of the goods at,he Fair
were sen; there by the great selling houses in Bos
ton. Philadelphia and Baltimore than by the manu-
facturers themselves. If any of these cheated in
the prices surely the jobbng dealers must know it
We insist on evidence and thorough scrutiny. If
there has been single instance of fraud it is the
duty ofevery honest to assist in branding the
deceiver. Will the Post follow this matter up Its
own charac ter imperatvely demands it.

a sautary m7xim, which the Courier &. Eng uirer
assiduously violates: Thus yesterday

Now nothing could be more utterly untrue than
this, but we presume it is sin of ignorance. We
stated the fact that the Sikhs invaded the British
territory merely TO show how utterly awless and

fact that their territory invaded and their troops
