The Tarin aud ane wings.

nearly The whole of the long session OF Congress that
foIloyed after General Taylors election allowed TO

and then less notorious, they moved more TO save
their own consistency than to help the manufacturers

est The tariff OF 1912 itself was party measure, and,
like the bankrupt law, if had not been repealed by The
democracy, must have been organized anew by the
wings The compromise tariff measure-Mr Cay's
darling measure-which preceded the tariff of 1912,
ended by ncng the most unheard-o injuries upon the
protectonists This party or protective tariff OF 1912 did

day and time and il II ever obtains single one oil rs
objects in this State be by cutting loose IRON all
party organizations. This Is a truth which few OF our
manufacturers now deny. In order, however, 10 show
the hearessness OF the wing advocates OF protection IN
PenDsy vana, recent and srk ing instance will suffice
The very papers that now endeavor to alarm and arouse
the manufacturers against Colonel Bser by their abused
cry of protection and of democratic hostility TO it, when
they had chance to help these same manufacturers in
the Congress OF s49 1850, and 1851 openly and bitterly
opposed a movement honestly intended to aid them.
Foremost among those who opposed i, as 'locoioco
trick were Governor Johnsons friends as well IN as out
Of the press.
Thaddeus Stevens, one OF his most vehement sup.
porters, opposed it. Not fue aDhg papers IN the State
supported and if it had not been for the GOODNESS with
which many OF the wings in the ast Congress treated II
it would unqnestionably have succeeded We favored
that movement, and for doing denounced from
one end OF the State the other by those who thought
intended to destroy the wings, and by other valiant
gentlemen who supposed intended to sell the demo

souls Of fearful adveTsaries' at election times.
We not much OF an admirer OF The tariff hurrah
partsans in this State and we fancy shall be-
But il is fact that our manufacturers are, most Of
them ardently national in their views. They have got
sick of sectional leaders at last and they do not hest
tate to regard all attempts TO create bad feeling between
both sections of the Union with indignation. 1t is
fact no less susceptible OF proof that all those who
for keeping the tariff question open are DESTROYS OF
continuing the agitation on the slave question This
the manufacturers See and know and they feel that
their interests quite much identified with the
devotion to the constitution they adverse TO the
operations OF mere politicians who would use the tariff
as a sort of periodical bae.cry 10 rally party at
election who will forget all they have promised
soon the election is over.
Besides, the manufacturers see that the democratic
party the party OF the majority in the national legis-
laure nine years out of every ten They have at last
realized that it is political mpossiby to rely upon
promises OF the wings, who, false IN the majority are
weak and poweress in the minority. II they have

author of the tariff of 1916, has indicated that he is
not indsposed to favor any just appeal for congress

the active friends OF the democratic party We do not
believe that the sensible manufacturers OF this State
