tie Wings say he duties on Iron must be raised OF our

Nov it is quite possible that some man.
ufaotorics, enjoying rare facilities or the
command Of wide and eager market for
peculiar styles of goods, may be making
good dividends, in spite of general depres-
sion and loss. It may even be true that in
certain localities new Iron, Cotton or Wool
en- manufactures are from time to time
established, and that gradual, tardy pro-
eress in certain branches Of Manufacture
is made in defiance Of the unfayorable state
of trade. We firmly believe, SO nat
ural and benefcent is the location Of the
manufacturer and fabricator by the side Of
the farmer and planter that if no Tariff
had ever existed or all Tariffs were now to
be abolished, the ways and means would IN
time be discovered OF created of natural
ling and perfeoting in our Country all the
arts of civilized life. Just so we have faith
that. if Steam and Railroads were to be
henceforth utterly abolished, the wants and
the tastes they have created or developed
would find some means of gratifcation-
mankind would not consent to be sent back
to such means Of travel and interoommuni-
cation as existed century ago. But that
it follows that it would be wise to abolish
Steamships and Railroads, trusting to hu-
man energy and genius for efficient sa6sl-
tutes, is not clear to our mind.
In this year Of grace 1850, we shall buy
of Europe Iron and Iron products, Cotton,
Linen, Wooden and Silken fabrics, to the
amount of not less than One Hundred Mil
lions of Dollars. And all these goods are
forced in upon us while the Free Trade Or
CANS and orators are doing their best to
create and difuse the impression that Man
ufaotures in this country are yielding IN the
average large profits to those concerned IN
them. Now ask those who are busy in en-
deavoring to difuse this impression" Gen
tlemen, what profits are you realizing from
your estates, your ships, your importations,

"Well, gentlemen, then why don't you en-
bark in making these fabrics at home in
stead of importing or buying those of Ea-
rope? Here is an immense demand, in o
country rapidly increasing in population
and capacity of consumption, while nobody
apprehends that the Tariff is to be changed

ests-pow if American Manufactures are
so profitable as you assert, why dent you
embark in them! The laws, &c. arc as ia
yorable to you as to anybody; you can buy
two.thirds of the Manufacturing establish
ments in the Country for . good deal less
than cost, or you can get up now ones With
improved machinery for much less money
than these have cost their owners. Tbs
