who pays the Duty-tho Producer or the
Consumer!

This is a question not untrequenty asked by
those who desire to understand for themselves
the working of the protective system, by means
of which the Wing party have desired to ar
rive at real and perfect freedom of trade.
1t is now about four years since it was an
.wered by the then Secretary of the Treasury
in an elaborate report, in which the nation
was assured that every ton Of coal that was
mined in the Union was sold at one dollar and
sirty cents more than it would sell for under a
system of perfect freedom of trade, although
the average price Of coal. at Pottsville, Mauch
Chunk, Lackawanna, and Pittsburg, did not
exceed one dollar and ffy cents. They were
thus assured that the tax paid by the consumer
was more than the whole price he paid for his
fuel. The tax paid by the consumer Of a ton
of nails was set down, if we recollect rightly,
at about ninety dollars, being nearly the whole
price paid for them. and in this manner there was
made up an exhibit Of taxes amounting TO about
a hundred millions Of dollars. The object had
in view in making a statement like this was
accomplished, and the tariff Of SAC was passed.
How far it was entitled to have received even the
slightest consideration, we hope to enable our
readers to Judge for themselves.
The prices of commodities in the general
market Of the world are, as our readers well
know, dependent on the proportion which the
supply bears to the demand-rising as the
quantity dminishes, and falling as it increases.
The rapid increase in the supply Of cotton since
the introduction Of its cultivation into the Union
has caused great reduction of price. Let us
abandon its cultivation, and it will then again
command thirty or forty, if not even fifty cents
per pound With large crop Of grain, the
price falls with small one, it rises. So is
il with sugar, coffee, wool, indigo, and every
other Of the commodities required for the use Of
man.
Increase of supply tends thus to diminish
the general price-diminution to increase it. If
protection tends to promote increase of supply,
it must tend, then, TO produce diminution in
the general market price, and that diminuton
constitutes an Offset against the duty. If the
diminution be equal to only part of the duty,
the remainder is paid by the consumer, unless,
as is certainly the case, there are other saving,
which constitute full setof against the differ
ence If the diminution in the general price
be equal to the whole duty, then the whole
amount Of duty falls upon the foreign producer,

A correspondent Of the Charleston Mercury,
in communication urging the extension, by
the Legislature, of the charter Of the cotton
manufacturing company at Graniteville, after
confessing that his "ineradicable repug,ance
to the tariff rendered him unwilling to see the
factory system introduced to any great extent.
in South Carolina, /" bears testimony to the ad-
vantages which have resulted from this institu-
.ton, and is evidently coming to believe that
similar benefits might be secured by more of
them. We commend his observations TO the
perusal Of our readers in the cotton States. in
the strong conviction that the Granite mills
have done nothing for the neighborhood about
them that would not be accomplished by
thousand other mills scattered throughout the
planting region. The prejudices against their
introduction are vanishing every day, and with
their departure the repugnance to the tariff,
which this writer says is ineradicable in him,
will vanish too from candid minds, for it will
be seen that the least of the advantages Of the
protective system are those which accrue to
the mill owners and operatives.
LET any one compare the nine hundred persons
who have congregated at Grsniteville within the
last two years, with the same number in any other
part Of the interior and their prejudices against
the factory system, as il is there conducted will
cease. The houses arc better and heater and more
hcalthful than the occupants in general ever had
before. The nccesssrcs Of life are cheap and abund
