But he isnet content TO do this. He must
have a tariff through which to swindle him
out Of an enormous profit, and by which she
gets neariy three times IS lnaehaashe witch
| is really worth How is this ? Why, the
Swiss watch costs fifty dollars in Geneva.
The difference in exchange is, say, five
| more; the cost of bringing it to this country
| is, say, Eve dollars, and the man who sells
| it wants profit of fifteen dollars. Here are
seventy-five dollars. But before the import
| err can get the gold to make his purchase in
| Geneva, he must convert our deprecated
greenbaek currency into gold, and this costs
twenty dollars more so that the Swiss
| watch now represents, including profits and
| all, ninety-five dollars. A can then, upon.
the most liberal advance, get watch for
nlnety-iiVe dollars, for which be has to pay
the Massachusetts manufacturer one hundred
and thirty dollars. But to get the Swiss
watch for this price we must have free trade.
Ii the government, before the Swiss watch is
landed, demands that it shall pay tariff
duty. such duty must be added to the ninety
FIVE dollars and becomes part of the price
And this is just what the government does
II adds tariff duty, not for the purpose of
revenue, but for the purpose OF protecting
the Yankee manufacturer. This tariff tax
is SO large, say forty dollars that it shuts the.
foreign watch out of our market entirely y
aud hence the government gets no revenue
from it. The difference goes into the peck
ct of the Yankee, who. when the tariff tax Is
added to the other items of cost on the Swiss
watch, can undersell the imported article
and he will sell for Just enough less to keep
the foreign article out of the market. Now
is not this practical swindling? IsSit not as

private speculation Is it not robbing the

ufacturer? Did we make the federal gov
eminent for any such purpose But it may
be said that foreign watches are still brought
to this country. True, and why? Simply
because the Massachusetts, makers cannot
yet make watches enough to supply the de-
mand- They are rapidly extending their
works, however, and will soon be able, I'M
der the swindling tariff, to enjoy monopo
ly of the American market. sr,..
We have selected the watch TO illustrate
the principle, because the facts are as stated.
Our friend has Geneva watch which cost
him just the figures we have put down above.
The same principle, with the same practical
result, viii apply to many other, articles,
particularly to fabrics of cotton, wool and
silk, and many articles of hardware and bar
iron. We are swindled by tariff made in
the interests of New England, and the feder-
al government is prostituted, for like pur
pose, to base uses never contemplated at the
time the states created it ''in order to form
more perfect Union."-St. Louis RepHb6-
can.

Tariff SWiudliu1,

No sooner had the federal government
got well under way than the New England
states began system of importantly upon
it with a view to misuse and abuse the fed
eral power by prostituting it to purposes of
local speculation. Among the earliest of
these abuses were the fishing bounties, which
were wrung from the good humor of the 9TH
er states under the pretext of encouraging
u school for American seaInen and these
continued, in defiance of the spirit which
formed the Union, and in disregard of the
spirit of the constitution, an annual drain
upon the federal exchequer for a great
many years. Then followed a protective
tariff, which was based upon the specious
plea of protecting American industry
the patriotism of the country, as will be OBJ
served, being used as q catch for the purpose
of private and sectional speculation. Amer
lean manufactures must be protected, 1t was
argued, as though patriotism, not avarice,
was the moving motive. It was a fine theme
for demagoguery-a fine subject with which
to delude and entrap the unwary; and well
did the craft of New England use it, and
right artfully does she still ply 1t. Protec-
ton to American industry And are we
not all Americans-all engaged in industri-
al pursuits? And is it the legitimate object
VI government 10 protecL or 1Ostef any one
industrial pursuit at the expense ofthe rest :?
What right has the government to say, you
shall buy this or that article from the Yam
KEGS, and not elsewhere, because thew are
engaged in it's manufacture and live in Amer
lea? As well might the government say, YOU
shall not eat the best oranges, because thew
grow in Cuba. But let us look at the prac-
teal operations of this tariff and see how ii
swindles the country for the benefit of New
England Tss-49 aH@
A friend of ours has gold watch, which

gold watch, why should he be compelled to

is, you must protect American indnstrv !. &

patriotic argument will operate if viewed Il,
partially. If patriotism demands that A

MoLIYE PLows.-Fhe fame of Deere
Moline plows is worldwide, orders being
sent for them from Europe, and the sale of
them in this country exceeding that of any
other establishment. Lately another con-
Germ has commenced the manufacture of
plows in Moline, using the same style of
marking their pillow as used by Deeres& Co.,
and otherwise initiating the Deere plew.-
This, Messrs. Deere 4 Co. claim, is an iniu-
ry to them, inasmuch as many people are
deceived into purchasing an inferior piow
surprising it to be the genuine Deere Moline
pillow. For this, Messrs. Deere Il Co. ask
the circuit court to prohibit the new concern
from initiating their particular style of
marks, &C., &c. They do not seek to stop
this new concern, or any other concern, from
making plows. and as many of them as they
please, but they do ask that the public shall
not be deceived into purchasing the plows
of this new concern supposing them to be
the genuine Moline pillow, made by them
The farmers OF the ives team hardly real
ize the obligations they are under to Mr..
John Deere for furnishing them with the
first steel pillow ever used in this
or any other country, and the
first pillow ever made which would scour
itself bright in the rich, black prairie soil of
the west. He has made the subject the study
of a lifetime, and produced plows in great
variety, and of a quality never yet excelled
if equaled- 1t is right that the courts should
protect him in his peculiar style of goods
There is a property valuation in that style,
both to him and his heirs, and no other con-
Germ shoul be permitted to deprive them of
the rights by such limitations as will deceive
the public and injure the reputation of the
articles manufactured by them.

THE next gas bill presented to the city
council should be cut down on account Of
lamps not being lighted. We are informed
by the police that scarcely night passes
without some street lamp is not lighted, and
some times three or four are omitted.
The true way to pay for lighting the
the streets is to have a metre under, the
charge of a committee of the city council,
and pay for what gas is used, and only what
is used, at the same rate citizens pay. Then
just as many or as few lamps could be used
as might be necessary, and kept burning on
ly on such nights and for such length of
time as might be necessary. This is the
course we advocated, last spring, and the
one we hope 70 see adopted, reducing the
price per 1000 feet.
