Gentlemen who have ccnversed freely with the great

~ We copy the above article entire that our
readers NAV mark the testimony borne by tho
rough and wellintor,ned Free Trader to the sophs-
lry and falsehood of Gov. Wright Secretary Wal
kcr and the Morning News's representation OF the
workings of Tariff. Gov. Wright in his Water
town speech assumed that if the duty on partlcu-
ler article be raised from five thirty or forty
per cent then the price of that article and the profits
of the producer are naturally increased in proper
ton In like manner, Secretary Walker computes
that the Twenty Seven Millions per annum raised
by the present Tariff aud put into our National
Treasury cost the People Fifty-Four Millions more
in the enhanced price Of Domestic Manufactures -
He says the Tariff question is simply question
whether Capital invested in Manufactures shall re-
ceive twenty to forty per cent. per aunum or be
content with six eight per cent &c. &c. Now
test the soundncss of these assertions by the facts
! stated by the Journal Of Commerce. That paper
reports truly that the Manufacturers are not t-oub-
ling Congress with personal solicitations or meme
rials-that they at home minding their business,
pushing on their work, building new factories i'm
proving their processes, and mean to get along Ia
riff or no Tariff. Would this be the case think
you, if they had over FJty Millions a gear depend
ing on the preservation of the present Tariff? If
they had half that amount depending. do you be-
lieve they would be so indifferent Would NOT Ten
! Millions iudiciously applied at Washington, save
the present Tariff We rather think One would
do it.


But the friends of Protection are not even making
n struggle We made our fight in lSi4-openy
lnantuy and above board, without n shadow OF
disguise or equivoca,ion. We were beaten by fraud
ulent pretcnces aud fraudulent votes-by Kane let
,ers. Watertown speeches and Plaquemine ballots
Orr opponents have the Government fully i'll theiI
hands why should we struggle noc Should We
not rather sterny say TO our opponents, "You have
i, all Your own way, gentlemen; do your will tho
ron.blv When YOU have got through we will
examine YOUR Tariff and il ii seems or proves bad
one we shall take an appeal to your masters, the
people" Is no, this the right course


How Free Trade is to operate on American La
Dor. Trade and the Country remains to be seem


! l..
one measure but that they Will all be injured by the
: pros,ration of Protective Duties. Let forbear
prophecy, bu, wal, and see How many devoted
| friends OF the American System will attend the
funeral we care not but we rather think thert
will be respectable gathering at its hot distant re
surrecton.
