new Issue burdened the West by increasing
iho protection to New England manufactures,
the customs being paid In coin. The price Of
price Of coin enters into the price Of Tie arti-
Gle, upon which there Is n money tax. The
consumer pays it. For INSTANCE, the Importer
purchases one dollar worth Of prints in En-
gland: When he enters them for consump-
It to the original purchase, making $40. He
also adds the difference in exchange, making.
with the first cost and duty, $1.q5. On ihIss
sum he charges his profit Of ten per cent, Of
nineteen cents, which makes goo. On this
snm the retailer adds his profit Of twenty per
the consumer sa.51. Thus, under the present
tariff and paper money system, the manullc-
tnrcr gets protection equal to $50 per cent
Do Jon wonder that the manufacturers Of
Mass sach1setts divide their regular ten per
cent, and from twenty to eixty;six per cent.
hills Of Salem divided sixty-six per cent. ex-
t1a, and the Pepperill Mills at Biddeford, Me-,
divided fifty per cent. extra. Many other
mills divided large extras at the same time.
Do you wonder that certain persons in Massa-
clusetts want the war TO continue for selfish
purposes? These and other facts show how
the agricultural interests are impoverished,
and Low the Gfe-blood is sucked By these
manufacturing vampires from the. veins Of
labor through nigh tariff and iuconycz:ible
paper money. Agriculture gets no protcc-
tion. ti It's surplus above domestic con=umn;
receives no benefit from prohibltiye
or protective tariffs, or from an inflated
currency. Hence agricultural products do
not rise. Let this process go on few years,
and the wealth Of the West will be transfer
red to the pockets Of New England monopo-
sustain the credit Of the government, which
depends on taxes, confidence and union. 1t
is poor return for the patriotic devotion Of
the West to the republic. II such policy
prevail, 1t will Increase and not mitigate the
feeling IN the West against New England. I
