The Republican and the Tariff

Evidently the Republican, published by
DR.. John, docs not know what it is talking
about, on certain occasions. In the last
issue of that astube sheet, an attempt is
made to prove, not only that the Black
Republican party is Ms tariff party, but
that the Democratic party is in favour Of
frse trade. How does this falsifying sheet
endeavour to-. prove this last! Why, by
quoting resolution adopted at the last
Democratic National Convention, which
says, ".he time has come for the people of
the United States to declare themselves in
favor of free seas, and of progressive free
trade throughout the world."
Now, what docs this resolution mean :!
Why, simply, that the people of these
United States should abandon tho tariff
system whenever the same should cease to
be profitable 10 them. To say that We
are in favor of progressive free trade is
only to say that we are in favor of no high
er tariff than is necessary; that We are iu
favor of lowering it from time TO time, as
may be profitable to us; but it is not by
any means saying that the Democratic
patty is in favor of lowering the tariff
without reference to the PROGRESS OF the
age, and to the interests of our people.
The Republican asks, why, did not Mr..
Ent get up in the National Convention
and offer tariff resolution Bless your
simple soul, Doctor, because the resolution
on the subject, already offered, suited him
and his constituents. Neither he, nor the
people of Columbia County, nor Of Penn
sylvania, desire tariff higher land for any
greater length of tiae than the occasion re-
quires. The plain position of the people OF
Pennsylvania is, that they will be in favor
of a tariff so long as the same may be nec-
essary or profitable to them, and not any
longer. This is common sense; and this
is, in substance, the National Democratic
Resolution.
The Black Republican resolution, sdop-
ted at Chicago, ID not half 30 good. We
will discuss it hereafter for this hue and
cry raised by party who had the power
in 1857, and who submitted to a lowering
Of tho tariff, needs some attention on the
,art OF the honest press of Pennsyiyania.
