,gans the coutnuance Of tho preset tariff representing
he extremes Of each party they base the whole structure
II their political faith upon this measure and make the
most nonsenscal assertions imaginable in support Of or
against it. II stated that the present prosperity OF the
country has been produced entirely by the operations Of
the tariff act and that the reductions in the ar under
the compromise act produced the revuisons IN CONNER

ing prices since the passage OF the present tariff
and those current at the close Of the compromise to
firm their statements We confess table Of this
kind of ITSELF would appear almost conclusive evidence
of the truth Of such remarks it Is true that the prices
now for nearly every article of produce and manufac
ture are much lower than they from 1886 to ls4O
Tho Of this decline in prices cannot in the slight
es degree be attributed the influence of the tariff
which would Of ITSELF have just contrary effect We
instructed by experience that the consumption of
article is in proportion to the reduction of its prices and

faen the duty is twenty five per cent the home manu-


,rcr will demand as near fifty cents for similar
he can, and command the market. The reduced
