we would ask him what he finds in our National
experience, or that of any other people, to justify
bis presumption. We so generally and so heartily
sgree with Mr.. Cofax on great public questions,
that our wide divergence on this has occasioned no
little regret on our part. And We confess our in
ability to reconcile his arguments on this question
with those general views of National policy which
| we have hitherto deemed common TO him and our
| selves.
So with regard TO Mr.. b. Stanton's repeated de-
uunciations of the House bill as ga manufacturers
Tariff" We have always understood the chief OBJ
ect of the incidental Protection afforded by the
best of our former Tariffs to be the increase and diff
fusion of Home Manufactures, thus sHordins Home
Markets in every section for the products Of our
National Agriculture "Plant the Manufacturer
"by the side of the Farmer" said Gen. jackson
before be had been poisoned by the sephistries of
Cahounism; withdraw half million of our people
from Agriculture, and employ them 10 Manufac-
"tures, and you will afford larger market for our
Agricultural staples than all Europe now affords
Gus" We believe this the true way; and the only
sure way to benefit our farmers by Federal legisa-
ton is just this and no other. We do not like the
shape given to the Tariff regard to Wool and
Woolens; but it is our deliberate judgment tia: the
reduction thereby effected in the duties on Wooden
Fabrics will work more injury to our WoOl-growers
than the changes effected in the mpost on Wool.
Mr.. Stanton's past career and protested opinions
had not led US to expect from him so complete an
identity not only of sympathies but of arguments
with those of the enemies of Protection.
It only remains to say that Mr. Lewis ID. Camp
bell-with whom it has not of late been oar fortune
to agree so generally nor so heartily as We could
wish-seems to us to have fairly earned credit BY
the ability, energy and intelligence which he has
evnced in bis efforts 10 reduce the Revenue with as
little injury and as much benefit as possible to our
| imperiled Industrial interests.
