The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1847-08-13

TARIFF Wing tariff arg'i-
mcnts are sometimes singularly contradcto-
ry. Thus the Sangamo Journal, in a late
number, labors TO prove that the high prices
ofproducc in this country had no connection
with the new tariff act, but were wholly oc-
casioncd by the scarcity in Europe. Itthcn
vcrgcs on the wing home market hobbcy,
and makes this statement, Sour foreign en-
portation Of brcadstulIS is comparatively
nothing when the amount is placed beside
that consumed in our own country" In the
first part il proves that all the high prices in
this country are caused by the foreign de
mand, aud then il represents this foreign de-
mand as comparatively nothing" Wei,
we imagine our farmers, who have found
this foreign demand run up the prices of
wheat from lOctS to ,l5 are pretty well
satisfied that ''comparatively" speaking, il
Is something. At all events, although we
may export very little compared to what we
all eat, YET that little is of Importance enough
TO make mighty difference in prices; and
whether the present tariff has anything Ia
do with il or not, they have no desire TO sub
stitute for it miig tariff that would destroy
that hiiie foreign demand.

The Bank Our Slim.


This has finally been disposed of in the
convention. The "lame and impotcnt con-
clusion" OF the long aud mighty struggle
will be found in our Springfield correspond
ence. II is, we are well persuaded, equi-
valenrto total prohibition, yet we regret
that the convention had not decided the
matter at once. We have an abiding con-
lidcncc in the good sense Of the people of
our state, that, although their legislatures
may he s.sophistieatcd and suborncd" into
the passage of bank charter, they them
selves will remain true TO their anti-bank
principles, aud viii always give such char
tiers qnietus at the polls. Yet total pro-
hibiiion would have saved us, we know not,
nor is ii in the wisdom of man to conceive,
how many anti-bank Struggles, and though
the question may he settled again and again
at the polls, it viii stillbc open and the con-
test forever recurring Nothing can ever
give He to a banking system in this state
but some sudden iniatuation, and we know
not but some time when the frenzy is at its
height, the people may be led to sanction
what they may be obliged TO repent of in
many years OF cool reflection. A prohibit
ton would have saved us from the POSSIBLE
ity Of such contingency. Yet it is useless
to argue the matter now. Tho convention
has made its decision-thc people will de-
eide when they see the whole of this new
constitution.
