News and the Tribune, as 10 the opera


ton Of the tariff on the prices Of manu-


faciared goods. The former paper main


tanned that prices were enhanced BY III,

whig view, that prices are lower now THAI


under the revenue tariff. They have ad


duced statistical facts and made compari


sons until the Tribune has been forced !,

by the News. The News thus speaks o

The TRIBUNE AND PRICES. - Now


that our contemporary has, with the best
egrace it could display, admitted that the
"iarfl has raised the prices Of all the inn
"ported articles subject 10 duly under de-
abale, we will recall lis attention to wool.
"That article has fallen 25 per cent. dur
"ing the year, involving the loss Of $2,-
100000 to New York farmers aone.---
"We would have il show the farmers how
'ihey have been smuggling foreign fine
"wools at the duty Of the coarser ariic O.
switch the Tribune last year alleged did
"not come in competition with the United
Estates wool. We shall proceed to com.
spare the assertions of tho Tribune last
"year with facts that have since iranspir-
@ed, and the most surprising results will
"become manifest. We may then call its
" "atiention 10 -four, So 81 per barrel in
Cincinnati, and other great benefits the
farmers have derived from this tariff,
"which advances that which they buy and
diminishes in price that which they sell.


" We were a good deal amused with the
" "Iri6ane's valorous denial of excess in
"thc price of cotton goods here over that
!" oil the same description in Manchester


"Has he forgotten how completely the
Journal Of Commerce destroyed him on
"ihis question in September last, showing
that the same article which sold in Man
"chester at VI cents, sold at the same
time in this city at Ia cenis"


The reader will discover in the forego-
ing article most interesting facls--ihe
great principle which we have labored to
establish, is here distinctly established by
stubborn facts. Even at the North the
prices of agricultural product have gone
down, whilst the prices of manufactured |
goods have gone up. We have shown the
same state Of things at the South and
West by reference to the prices Of all the
leading products of our farmers. But the
most surprising fact, is, that the same de-
scrlption of cotton goods which sell in
Manchester, in England, at n cents per
yard, at the same time is selling in Bos-
ton at l4t centsl A system cannot be
permitted to stand which inflicis such in.
justice on the consumers of cotton goods
for The benefit of the manufacturers. -
This fact explains the secret Of the heavy
profits made by the manufacturing capit-
alisIs--it also explains the low profits Of
the consumers. Nashrilic Union.
