The Tariff,

Let every mechanic apply the following extract
to his own occupation, and see how absurd it
would appear for him to collect the raw materi-
Al OF his trade and send il to Europe to be manu-
factured. fit is right then all the tolsome years
Of his apprenticeship ma be considered as thrown
away. The knowledge of his busine is no use to
him, NJ long as his government offers the advan-
tage profit which should be awarded him for his
handiwork, to men of the same craft across the
water. Yet his government is doing this, on
large scale, in the case Of the manufacture of cot
ton goods, and such system keeps down the price
of produce, by destroying the home market, and
thus incapacitates the farmers from INDUCING in
those comforts that could be furnished by our own
trasesmen. The thousands of hands turned out OF
the manufactures by this system must have bread
and as they cannot it in one way they must in
another. They either buy or rent land, and thus
become the producers OF that which might have
been supplied By the legitimate iliers ofthe soil,
and thus. instead of being customers to the farm
er, they become the competitors of the farmer.--
The idea gifts being more profitable for an indi,ia
ual or nation 10 send the raw material abroad for
the purpose Of having returned In the shape Of
manufactured article rather than manufacturing it
ing from the Boston Traveller forcsha aows the
tiona crash that is likely to be produced by this
loco foco humeus:--
ssThe importation OF cotton fabrics under the
present Tariff has reached nineteen millions OF dol
lars, the greater part of which might be made by
our own people. This vast amount we are paying
for in State and other bonds, or in other words we
are borrowing the money from the very countries
| who are supplying US with goods. While this Is
going on, thousands of looms standing idle and
| the workmen and girls are anxiously waiting for
them to start again. They will be obliged to wait
long time under the present exhausting process:
AMI we may expect worse state of things when
the stocks shall be returned upon US, and payment
demanded OF the bonds.
Rhode Island is the State which suffers the most
from the present system, because there the print
ing cloths, and finer quality Of goods, are chiefly
made. Though the manufacture in the other States
is very much depressed, is not entirely from the
same cause"
II would be considered the height of absurdity
to send saw logs to England for the purpose Of hav-
ing Their, worked mp into building materials and
furniture Of ali sotts-rags to be manufactured in
TO paper-skins and peltries to be wrought into
boots, shoes and hats. with all the round Of raw
material with the intent of having the whole man.
ufactured by foreign mechanics and tradesmen.-
Yet oil this would only be on tho same principle
that now governs in relation to Cotton and Iron.

such dreadful doings would not occur. Traders
who suck the life-hlood from the poor Indians, are
also, doubtless, much to blame.

he could settle where he chose. This is said to be

BURLINGTON HAWK-EYE.
VIM q, Wood ward.

L
Tho Fairfield Ledger, almost simultaneously with
the Hawk-Eye, and withou, concert, placed the
name OF this gentleman at the head Of its coumns,
candidate for superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. The Musca,ine journal has also done the
same thing, and we have no great doubtthat all the
wing papers in the state will thus favor his nomi
nation. They all pronounce him to be eminently
qualified for the office. 1t is no small compliment!
and one which strongly argues. his Gtness for the
office, that The whole portion Of the Code relative
to the School Laws was committed to him for re-
vision by his brother Commits sioners-Judge Ma
son and Gov. Hampstead. This shows that they
had confidence in him on this subject. Our only
regret is that the portion of the Code thus commit
ted to him not, for want of time presented anu
and acted upon in the Legislature. #5b .gla
We hope that Wings will carefully read their du-
~ in the following remarks Of the editor Of the
Fairfield Ledgcr:-
s.We believe that on account of the entire unfit
ness Of Mr. Benton for that post, Mr. w can by some
exeition the part Of the Wings, be trnmphantiy
elected to that office. Mr. w. is gentleman OF hne
talents, known integrity and III every way worthy
Of The support ofthe wing party, and all others who
do not feel disposed to give their sulrages to the
usarrer Benton.
To the wings of Iowa we have to say, that the
election is close OF hand, and i, behooyes them TO
be in READINGS for the contest. Let personal suise
and dis cord be laid aside and oil go to work for
the advancement of our glorious principles. II Is
now time to ganize, form the line OF battle ana
begin the noble work. Let not the shadows OF the
past make you inanimate-buckle on your armof
and enter the field with that courage and spirit
that should ever cerize the advocates ofwhis
measures and whia doctrines. s.ihe enemy are al
ready in the field, and every effort will be made by
them to defeat yon, but if you act ana act IN time
their efforts win be in vain.o
