to the fostering Of our domestic
manufactures; and strange to say,
those who are the most clamorous
for the protection Of our manufac-
turing interests, are the most siren
uous advocates for system whose
tendency is to defeat every tariff
regulation that could be made for
their benefit. This will be made
evident by the following illustration:
Suppose that foreign manufacturers
are importing into this country an
article of bIoaGcloth which they are
selling at two dollars per yard
Now in order to enable our domestic
manufacturers to compete with the
foreign article, Congress leyies a tax
Of fifty cents per yard on the for
eign cloth, but at the same time a
uumber Of banks are put in opera
ton; or those already in operation
commence expanding the circulation.
The price Of labor aud everything
else which enters into the cost oil
manufacturing the article, by the
sudden influx Of large quantities o.
paper money, is greatly enhanced
The American manufacturer, conse.
quently, soon finds that he has LOST
all the benefit designed by Congress
and is forced to suspend operations
or apply for a further Increase OF the
tariff. Concluded next Week.

As hoops once got out OF fashion, so they will

bulletin from Paris, which exhibits and descri-
hes the modes for July, announces two facts,
highly interesting to the female portion of socie-
ty. The double skirt is to be discontinued in
consequence of the change of mode just begin

proportion of the upper. "Perhaps," the re-
porter adds, 'this modification may already be
looked upon as sort of invasion on the rights

the Empress Eugenie, who rules the fashions in
Paris, has set her face very decidedly against
the eXceSses of crinoIine, and, if rumor is to be

Indeed; Eugenie seems inclined to bring back

The impression i'll Paris, where all things run
into extremes, is that even short waists will be
