Comments by The Tribune.

The points made above are as follows:
/. That. while wages have been enhanced
but s. per cent. since 1861, the price of Bleached
Domestic Shirtings has been enhanced nearly
so per cent, or from 81 cents to 1ji cents per
yard.
2. That this increase is justly attributable
TO the Tariff, which holds up the price OF
necessarieS, and benefits solely the mdn'Vdc-
tirer while it Expresses the working man"
Here is clear imputatiOn that the IdnB
has caused the enhancement of price aforesaid,
and that the manufacturer alone is prohted
thereby.
Turning now to The Merchants and Bank
q" ers' Almanac for 1862" page ISL we find
there tabular exhibit of "The Monthly Prices
of Cotton, (Uplands), from 1925 to 1867; =
whence we learn that the price of Cotton
ranged from II to 10 cents throughout the
wear 1860 closing at TO- that 1t commenced In
1861 at 70, at which point it stood throughout
the first three or four months; advancing to
IA in May, to 16 in August, and jumping
thence to % in September; then falling OIL
little; and finally taking another leap to % IN
December.
Here then we see that the Cotton Shrtlngs
which sold for 81 cents in 1861 were made OF
cotton which had cost the manufacturers from
| 10 to - cents; while, turning to the Market

which is irradiated by the genius of "No
Monopoly" we read

The full reports of the weather and the con-
siton of the crops which we print elsewhere
are not encouraging. The rains at the
West do not seem to have been general or
heavy; and in many quarters the drouth there
continues undated, while from Maryland, Nlr-
GINA, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama, comes an unvarying story OF
drouth and distress. The corn crop is doubt
less damaged throughout large sections beyond
the possibility of recovery.

Need we follow this trickster further Is
there a living man so dull as not to know that
it is the advance in and ruling high price of
Cotton which is the main cause of the parallel
advance in Shirtings7 and that if the Tariff
"holds up the price of necessaries that is of
Shirtings-it is the Tariff also which has adj
vanced the price of Cotton from 1OG11 cents
in 1860 to 3OG35 cents in 1869? And yet we
all know that the Tariff has not put Cotton up
from 10 to 80 cents per pound, and of course
has not put up the price of Shirtings from st
cents per yard in 1861 to 15i cents per yard in
1862
. What must be the honesty Of the statistican
who thus parades the advance Of 50 per cent
in the price of ~Shirtings, cOnceals the par
allel advance of 200 per cent. in the price of
Cotton, and tells his dupes that "the right
"cause" of the former is "the Tariff, which
"holds up the price of necessaries and benefits
"solely the manufacturer, while it Expresses the

"No Monopoly" has busted himself with our
last Economic essay-that which treats of Iron.
He finds that the duty on Pig Iron by the
Tariff of 1912 was 50 (the same as now instead
of 80 as we stated tit having been reduced
from $40 to 50 at the last gasp (after Tyler's
veto of the original bill, if we correctly re-
member)-after the table in The american La
bOrer whence we copied was made up. To be sure,
this makes no difference to the argument-the
fact on which we iDsisted-that the present
duty on Pig Iron is the lowest imposed by any
Protective Tariff since the War of 1S12-re-
naming incontestable. BE IT understood that
the duty on Pig Iron by the Tariff of 1912 was
exactly the same as now-$9 per tun, and not
$40 as it was under the Lowndes- Calhoun Tariff
of 1916, and again under the Clay Benton Tariff
of 1924.
We gave in our last essay table of Iron i'm
ports for 1868, compiled expressly and avowedly
to elucidate the fact that, whereas many of
our rates of duty are high, the importers con-
triVe to evade these, and enter their metals
and fabrics mainly at lower duties, thus

This statement, and what we hold it to
prove, "NO Monopoly" does not controvert,
for he cannot; but he fastens on an error in
our premises-putting the duty on Bar Iron
at SIS per tun, instead of cent per pound
which had no bearing on the point
in issue. and makes parade over it. and
adds his calculations that the duties charged
on Castings, Boiler Iron, Machinery, Steel, &C.,
are equal to 60, so, 100, and $50 per cent.-all
which, if true, does not break the force of our
demonstration that the Iron actually imported
pays much lower rates. Nor does he need to

upon legal proceedins arising out of the at

The VELocIPEDE FoLLY-The foolish
velocipede fever appears to have quickly run
its course. In the Eastern cities the velocip-
pede rinks have mostly closed; and at recent
sale of velocipedes, the best vehicles brought
only from five to ten dollars, while a large
number could not be sold at all In this city
about the same results have been experien-
eed. Occasionally poor victim can be seen
working his way through the street with
his bicycle, but the price of velocipedes has
gone down very far below par, and nobody
feels like paying quarter to see the peder
perform.

PErALUNA, Cal, Dec. 14th, 1858
For abolt twenty years | had used Tobacco in
its various FORMS and for the past eight years bad
been an inveterate smoker. Becoming satisfied
that the excessive of this narcotic was seri-
ously injuring my health, determined. if posi-
bic. to break myself of the habit. Hearing Of
ORTON'S PREPARATION for Destroying the
Appetite for T-hacco, sent to Portland, Maine
for box of the Medicine which | received through
the mail on the 18th of November. One mon
has not elapsed, and yet the medicine has effectu
ally relieved me from any desire to use Tobacco in
and form. The preparation is not more difficult
or unpleasant to take than the common chewing
gum. Iconscientiously believe that the preparation
will have the desired effe in every instance where
it is given a FAIR TRIAL. Upon that belief and
from honest desire to assist others who wish
10 break away from the slavish effects of Tobacco,
offer this testimonial. JAMES CASSIDY.
