VALLEY would receive twice as much in Fabrics for
their Foed. The tun of Iron, the yard Of Broad
cloth. might for brief season cost more IN money
than il now does. but it would inevitably cost far
lees in bushels Of Grain. Ia other words, the
enormous cost Of carrying millions oil Dushes
Of Wheat Irdian Corn and their equlVs-
Tents in Beef aud Pork, from the Illinois
and the Des Moines TO the banks OF the
Thames and tie Mersey, and the reciprocal
transfer Ct Metals and Manufactures from the
Thames TO the Upper Mississippi, would be saved
and divided among the producers OF Food, Iron aud
Cloth This is the end for which We labor-the
planting of the Manufacturer BY the side oil the
Farmer-an end which the Tariff of 1928 aud that
Of ls42 were each quietly and rapidly eifectng
until they were severally overthrOwn through CO.

Party spirit and patty drill carried Pennsylvania for

inten. was 10 beat Mr.. Clay without overthrowing
the Protective Policy. Ii was sharp game, and
the less dextereus players cut their own fingers.
Tens of Thousands IN this State, and in reay every

1t s so easy to assert rashly and blundefinsly
whatever is convenient that The Post makes more
mistakes in half column than we can correct in
thrice the space. We pause, therefore, merely
quoting another Of that journals assertions
in order to show how utterly it miscOnceiyes our
position. 1t says:
"THE TRIBUNE seems to suppose sill that Is to be
desired in this weird Is the prosperity of manufacur
ere ard all that is necessary for their prosperity IL
that grain should be high
There ID no shadow OF truth in this. We have
no more solictude for the prosperity of manufac-
"turers" than of any other class, nor of any one
class than another. Nor have We any desire that
"Grain should be high" But We do dellke to see
Indian corn sold by the grower at eighteen cents
per bushel, payable in very miserable shlnpIasters
Gas we saw it sold in Iowa City last Winter, and
then sold and resold, shipped and reshpped, until
it is bought ard eaten when far less nutritious aud
wholesome than it originally was, BY manufacturing
operatives in Sheffield, Paisley and Birmingham, at
not less than dollar per bushel. Wewant to see
thofe manufacturing operatives attracted to the
neghborhood Ct the corn grower, where they can
be better fed better clad, and their children better
lodged ard taught, than they ever can be while
distance Of four thousand miles continues to inter
vene between producer and consumer, or rather
between the producer of Corn and the pro-
Queer of Cloth Such is the handspring of our
Politicsl Economy; We can hardly hope that The
Post will adopt, but ought it not to try to cOmpre-
bend, and not so mOnstrously misstate itl
