The Tariff.

In his last paper, DIR. John talks with
his sual inanty of the mission of the re-
publican party and among other matters,
makes the passage of Protective Tariff,
the Morrill, Bill, one of the duties of lis
mission. 1t says:--
This war forced upon the country makes
Protective Tariff aoubly necessary, and |
no Northern politician will dare raise his
voice against it,
The inference the DR.. would have us
draw from all this flourish Of trumpets
about the tariff is, that this tariff is to be
the salvation Of the country, the sovereign
panacea for all the financial ills the repub-
lie is heir to, and that therefore we should
all throw up our hats and hurrah for the
late, now defunct republican party. The
republican party has "fulfilled its miss
ion,' and like the caterpillar is now hatch
ing the perfect animal, which when devel-
oped, will be ABOLITIONISr But for
fear the DR.. should grow crazy over his
tariff egg, and cacklc himself to death, we
) COPY from the M Yo'k IV0TM Of Oct
10th, an article that knocks his tariff into
cooked hat Read it, and tell US what
you think Of Protective Tariff producing
,, only 30 millions, while under the demo
cratic revenue tariff they ran as high as
60 millions-three times as much as DR..
John pet machine for raising money.
, Now what do you suppose is the result
of this financial izze? We do not give
p, our own opinion-we give the DR., good re-
publican authority-and we say the result
lis. another direct tax, in addition to the
, ones we have already. The tax will be
laid and must be paid, but we refer to 1t
.or the purpose of showing what beautl
ul thing this republican party has made
r of the government.
a 1t is time the party died, went out, dis
4 banded, or the finger of scorn would b'
d pointed at it from every quarter. Reat
,e what the administration organ says upol
,e the subject, and let DR.. John hide his hea
in shame over his folly. Dare he publisl
to the people of the District the result o
= the action OF the dead republican party ?
:, We dare him to do so !

Il itatiyely announced that the receipts c

We CHASE estimate. When the Morrill, tai
,ot if was first enacted it was claimed that IL
receipts under it would reach sixty million
but the circumstances of the country hay
zee so changed since then that the estimate
