The Tariff.

The Philadelphia "Times" exposes the heresies of
Governor Johnstons late message. The Governor ad-
heres to the old protective tariff which the Times" thu.
expodes:
Governor Johnston in his message assert, the doctrine
that the home market is the ony reliance of the
co'ny The alsty of this position is readily SEEM when
we reflect that two markets must be better than The
home market does the surplus productions
Tue Country The people must be supported, whether they
be collected together in featuring establishments
scattered wide surface of the earth whether they
live in cities or isolated Do the people consume more of
the necessaries Of life when living or about fcto
he' furnaces and iron mills, than they do when living
separate and in the countryl We think Thus it is
a' 70 suppose that because portion OF the people work
"Seiher which enables another portion sell them part
oil their productions that the home market preferable TO
all others
In connexion with this view of the subject it NAV be OBJ
served that the country is deeply interested in having
market Tor its surplus productions that is the
over and above what the people consume According to
Tue census OF 1910 there raised in the United States
ooJooJO bushels OF wheat if but SO 900 600 bushels
Were consumed in the country would still be 900
900 be disposed of aud every year produces more
MAN Is consumed the surplus would go on increasing to
ieariul extent bregn market therefore, must be sought
enable the people dispose of surplus produc
ives say nothing now of the reciprocal advantages which
H'''o"s ENJOY by an interchange OF commodities
we delight TO see similar opinions flowing from the
hysone State, because the wings hope yet to revive
he'r protective system by the influence of her coal and
