Protection.

Mr.. EDITOR: The public have been in
formed, through your. paper, of an associa-
; ton among our intelligent, prosperous and
/ skilled artizans, who propose 10 petition the
next Legislature for protective duties on such
| imported articles as can be manufactured
here.
| We here appeal to them, rather than to
the public in general; and it is hoped that
| u reconsideration of this purpose will re-
suit in the abandonment of such a petition.
1t is now an established fact that pro-
tective duties are not able to prevent
the importation of taxed articles of com
merce, but invariably produce a rise in the
prices of these and all other merchandise
By these enhanced prices, the protected man
ufacturer loses, in the increased prices of
family supplies, what he gains in the en-
HANGED price of his labor. But this is the
least of the evil The whole community
suffers from the increased cost of living, and
the unskilled, poor laborers, (embracing the
masses of the people,) are made still poorer
by these protective duties.
We select an item, included in the list of
the proposed articles to pay higher duties, as
q representative of all the Others. We will
suppose that a pair of custom made Boots
sells at Sl4, being more durable article than
the imposition of protective duty immedi-
ately runs up the latter article to Sl4, and
the former to SIG Who does not perceive
that the community will be the loser thereby,
unless they protect themselves by increasing
the price of their labor, and their salaries,
and also the prices of their imported articles
on sale. To this they are driven by the extra
duties on the necessary articles of daily use
This reacts upon the domestic manufacturer
by increasing the cost of his living above
what il was before bis business was protected
by legislation; and he, too, is no gamer
thereby. But the poor are made still poorer
by being unable TO purchase the necessaries
of life.
Again: AS the prices of goods and labor
increase, in the same ratio the value of
money depreciates, and this requires n pro-
portionate increase 10 amount to meet the
demands of the market To obtain this, the
country must sell an amount of its exports,
which is all lost TO the community, as it
goes to supply void created by deprecia-
ton in the value Of money, and the country
is no richer than before, but loser This
depreciation in the value of money will also
create a necessity TO increase the amount of
taxes to supply the wants of the Govern
ment, on the increased cost of living in the
country.
There is no class of persons here whose
prosperity is more certain than that of our
respected, industrious and sober mechanics.
They are among the last who should ask for
legislative protection, to the injury of other
classes. A
