To Hon. James G. Blaine.
DEAR SIR :-Wuntaof time prevented
me from reading the whole of your
very lengthy letter of acceptance.
occupy at this time might have in
duced me to read the whole letter had
I not anticipated the character of the
whole from the small portion read.
notice you compare the rapid
growth of Iowa with Massachusetts,
and some other Western State with
New Jersey, from 1880 to the present
time, and attribute the rapid growth
of the Western States to the results of
protective tariff, &c.
Ifit will not trespass too much upon
your time. ! would be pleased to have
you compare the rapid growth of
Ohio with Massachusetts, for twenty
years before 1860, also the rapid growth
of Illinois with New jersey for the
same period, or the period during the
operation ofthe Walker tariff, or tariff
for revenue, and give your opinion re-
garding the phenomenal growth of the
| Western States named, as l am irri-
sistibly led to infer from the arguments
in your letter that the rapid grnwth of
Ohio and Illinois was due to the be-
nificent effects of tariff for revenue.
You also in your letter spes k of the
high price of all agricultural products,
and attribute the high price to the et-
fects of protective tariff. DC. was in
wheat market a few days after read
ing your letter, or portion of it, and
saw good wheat selling at 80 cents per
bushel, and was informed that was the
top of the market, and was also in
formed by friend of yours, that the
price of wheat in this country depend
ed entirely upon foreign demand for
that article. For fourteen years before
1860, and during the operation of the
Walker tariff, or tariff for revenue,
wheat did not sell in the same market
for less than $l.25, and more often for
$l.50. Will you please give me your
opinion why it is better for the agri
culturist to sell his wheat for 80 cts.
and pay high protective tax on every
thing he buys, than it is for him to sell
his wheat for 81 .25 and pay Il light tax
on what he buys. Provided, as you
gay, the tariff is the cause of these dis
crepencies. [ ask these questions
partly for Information and partly be-
cause, in conversation with a very
Jealous friend of yours, a few days
ago, he informed me that We could
raise more wheat to the acre under a
protective tariff than we could under
tariff for revenue, and endeavored TO
explain to me the fertilizing effects of
a protective tariff, but not being
chemist, l did not clearly understand
him.

which have prevailed most of the time.
