CHEAT IRoh --''Me make hhift," said a gem

 eman from If the agricultural districts of this Sae, the day "to bring the two ends of the yea together III spite o the tariff. The country trader takes gram, bucr and cheese, gves us ere dit for llem account, and sends them to New York. We payodr physician in oats, corn-Ineal and psta oes, and hr debt for our country paper we dis charge perhaps in pine wood Ii s true that il takes greater quan'y nf e,ery thtne we raise to dance the account with traders, but work a little harder and buy le less. What perplexes us most is the black smith's bill which The farmers must dis charge in ready money: the blacksmith pays cash for hls iron and must have cash from his customers a- gain. and often embarrassed To know where iu gat it."

 These farmers rct men who railroad stock or travel much railroads. It would not be alto gcth-r pleasing to them to soc the duty on railroad iron removed Shils the rolled and hammered iron used by blacksmlths Is loaded with duty which ex- eodds it's gina value. If cheap iron he uest r the owners "i stock in railroads, they will be apt u Say, il IS best for ths tanner also. They whn esk for removal of tho duty railroad run tell that 1t is not "a"ei Tor tie purpose of revenue, inasmuch as wo have loo lunch 'evenue already Granted. ply the farmers; andsccordngy We expect you will help us se 10 arrnngenisters by lowering the duty on the ut of abch the implements used by us o,r harms and m cur houses hammered, that our b 'cksmI,h's bill usY not be quite so heavy.

 No doubt the tax on rail road iron Is exorbitnnt and oppressive Jusce requires it's reduction, but the same justice requires tlat equal reduction should at the same tune take place the duties other kinds of iron used by classes of men who are not combined under h,rIer of incorporation, and who h~ve no means of influencing legislative bodies We have sometimes, however, been almost tempted 10 wi that Congress would exempt the iron of the railway companies from duty, in order that the njus tce of the tax upon tho poor woInan's tea kettle might be more striking.

 The pretence under which the iron tax is laid, is that it important encourage the production of iron in our own country. Ifths he the best method of obtaining abundant supply oI iron for tlle coun- ny, why should it not be applied the production of 6 'dl iiie southern region of our county abounds with gold; the only difficulty at present is that the cost of extracting it from the soil is quite equal to the value of the metal after it is obtained Stop the importation of gold into lhe country by proper duties and penalties, and you soon make il Ex- cudc foreign gold altogether, and it will become pro- ftabe to dig it from the mountains of Georgia.
