The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1849-11-14

| distressed yeomanry ana mechanics OF
the country, and passing flaming Resolves
about the great verdict Of the people a.
gainst democracy, the revenue tariff, and
the National Treasury; and in favor Of
federalsm.and the favorite party schemes
OF high protection, national speculation,
and an inflated rag currency. And so
far as Resolves will do it, giving to all
their aid and comfort, in the beautiful
prospect Of two dollars day and roast
beef, in a splendid castle in the air.
Change and repeal are the great watch
words Of the blood hounds, and all for the
benefit Of these poor working classes, who
never dreamt Of their ruin till they heard
the dolorous noles Of woe and lamenta-
ton from these sympathisers.
| Let every farmer, laborer, and me-
chanic, and every other man who has the
good Of his country at heart, review those
"ciosed up democratic accounts" and
compare them with the "new books".-
Let them enquire who compose this moi.
sy class Of sympathisers and fuglemen,
and whether they state fac,s,-learn
whether the burden Of their distress is
really for the permanent prosperity Of
the great midling class Of the people, or
whether they do not bow down, morning,
noon, and night, to the shrine of opulence,
aris,ocracy, and the grooming Golfers of
the 1ron-mongers, manufactures, and
heur:less bankers. Before they subscribe
to any change, let them ask themselves
vhat change they asant, and examine we'll
the proposed remedy.
Whence comes this cry Of distress, ru-
in, and change Of measures? Is it from
the bone and muscle, the yeomen and me-
chanics? Not 1.-THE Of them has vet
heard Of their ruin. Why are these pi-
teous groans put forth in theit behalf,
without their request? Fraud and decep-
tion,-zust for gold and po,ver begel the
cry. When did the people decide against
democracy and democratic measures?-
A large majority Of the popular vote was
against Taylor; and many OF those States
which voted for him, have since voted in
favor Of democracy. Connecticut, Ton
nessec, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have
all renounced Taylorism for democracy,
and New York is just agoing to. And
besides this, both Houses of Congress-
that body which the federal party claims
10 be above the people, and above the Pre-
sidents reto, have majori!ies against Tay-
lor and federalism. Such q decision ex-
isis only in the hearts Of the s1ock.jo
bers and moneyed aristocracy.
/ But mark the reasons of those sympa-
thisers for change. First, they assert
tina! the tariff makes the protected arti-
cles cheaper; and in the same breath, aver
that they are in favor Of low duties on
the necessaries, to make them cheapcr.--
They opposed duty on tea and coffee,
in time Of war, as they said, to make them
cheaper. And these same manufacturers
and iron. mongers, who tell US that high
duties make low prices, are now croak-
ing about the ruin Of the country by reas-
on Of low duties, and are importuning the
President and the people for higher ia
riff or iron, and cotton and woollen man.
ufactures, for the cypress purpose O RAILS
ING THE PRICE OF THOSE ARTICLES, TO ENA-
BILE THEM TO MAKE BETTER PRoFlTss they
argue to the farmer against free-trade,
and in favor Of protection, and having a
home market; because, they say, the pri
ces of agricultural products are higher in
a home market than in a foreign market;
and then they face about and tell the la
borer and mechanic, tn at it is for their
interest to oppose free trade, and support
projections, because beef, pork, wheat,
rye, corn, flour, and all kinds Of agricul-
tural products will be cheaper if there is
no lorei ign market to use them up;--in
short, they can live cheaper. Such is
the logic Of the party which is nominally
headed by an imbecie military chieftain
and ruled by an irresponsible cabal at
Washington City. Such is old-fashioned
federal logic. 1t smacks Of fraud, and
convicts its authors Of lack Of the pure
essence Of moral integrity. All these
schemes and devices are concocted to gull
the people ofdifferent avocations into the
belief that one Of their callingsis adverse
to the other; and so, by division Of in
terest, induce them to devour each other;
while they reap golden harvest. The
truth is, there are but two great antag-
onist interests in this country. These
are money and labor. Money carries
