More Robbery Proiected--The New
England Tariff Scheme.
The scheme of the Radicals, to enact a
tariff law that will compel the producing
classes of the West to pay large tribute
to the manufacturers of New England, is
thus alluded to by the Cincinnati Com
merciGi. Considering the strong Republic
can attachments of that paper its condem-
nation of the proposed change In the tariff
system, is not without its meaning:
The sentiment of the people of the
Northwest, taken on the tariff question,
unembarrassed by other issues, would be
found overwhelmingly opposed TO any fur-
ther tolcration of the systematic extortlon
which Is highly developed as great prin-
ciple In New England and Pennsylvania; I;
aud already the dissatisfaction Is so great
that we doubt not it will result in return
ing to the next Congress number ofcop-
perheads who. whatever they may do, Will
oppose tariff system, so adjusted as to
pour into one mans pocket the fruit of the
labor of a thousand hands"
Nevertheless, while considering what the
Commercial says and its unadulterated
Republicanism should be good authority,
on that side-we would ask, in behalf of
the agricultural, mechanical and producing
classes of this great North West-the
acedtth-makers of the countryside is the
man in Congress of that party - the
ScHENCKs, the SHELLABARGERs, the SPAULD-
INGs, the WADEs and SHERMANs-whose
speech or vote has yet been on the side of
his home interests, as against the ever
watchful New England tariff-cormorants?
Who is he, and what the instance?
In this connection, how significant and
suggestive is this brief note TO that paper
