THE TARIFF ON CoTToNs The facts that we recently adduced in relation 10 the enormous m posed upon the of cotton goods exope- dingy nnpalaiaLe 10 the high iariT advocates. The prints are behind the age. They have mol the saga cIIy to see that the tariff has done work, and that the results of Il years of it's operation have verted a large number of those who formerly favored it. The Express, in it's pfuere way, endeavors to inyaidate our statements m regard 10 prices. We stated that sample of ingham that may be at our oilce cost in Manchester 104 cents and cannot be bought in New York short of B cents. The Ex- press says this is feton, because 104 and makes less than 23 The idea of freight and charges, and importers and jobber's profit, interest, &c., never entered it's sage head. The costs of import are about 2 cents per yard alone. The Express also again charges that the Manchester shrtings equal to Marshas City Mills, made of East Iutia cotton. They made of the best of New Orleans cotton, and the Express knows that Il is so, because a com miltee of la, ifes called upon the importer, and n- spected both descriptions. washed and unwashed, and of them gave the preference 10 the Man chester article. We again repeat, that eminent houses here, whose names we have, will contract to deliver in Manchester, at cents per yard, any quan- lity of slrlings in all respects equal 10 New York City fills, which sell at IA cents. The profits 10 the manufacturer of he latter are cents per yard, and the manufacturers of all sorts of cottons in Ann erica make avowedy 75 per cent on their sa les. If lhe duty were reduced to l2k per ct. without A mnimum, they would still make a better profit than any other business. The "hunhums" of the Express entirely the product of tarilites. We have been deluged with them for many years and trust the time is approaching when tariff humhums will go out of date. Such rhodomontade as the following is an excellent example of your true hunh.m:

 elf now, we were to throw ports wide open 10 a like foreign trade in cotton goods, similar result would follow. The Manchester manufacturer would screw down his workmen 10 six or eIght cents per day, compel him to live on oat meal and potatoes, and after he had thus got command of the market by underseliing the American, who must have meat for his dinner, and sleep in bed, he would suddenly rise again, and deluge us with Haahuas at the old Anl-American manufacture prices. The Tariff se- | cures to the American his own maikel; that is all With this market thus secured from British compe- titon, and in which he is certain of sales. he can the British ia the markets o the u0rid par, and often with better goods, drive him out of it,- | TN.
