power Of capital. 20. .."


The home operation of the tariff of l546, promises
to be genial and salutary-l mean in regard to the
great industrial masses. Its reduction of taxes
half is immediate relief; its indirect abatement OF
prices and The general expenses of comfortable
living, awakens hope in the breasts of all whose
wages or means low and precarious; and its
tendency to oblige capitalists to seek the sue

and invites to mingle on terms of reciprocity and
fearless friendship with our felow-msn everywhere.
Even agriculture exults in the liberty Of send
ing her surplus food over thousands Of miles of
land, and thousands of miles of water to the famish-
ing sons Of Ireland Our crops Of wheat and Indian
corn are suddenly augmented in value upwards OF
forty millions Of dollars; an effect of opening the
gates in single channel, which will carry gladness
TO the family freside Of every farmer. Assuredly
this tariff is far from free trade That Of course can
not be pretended while the revenue necessary TO
