FACTS IN REGARD TO THE TARIFF, No. I'LL


The nonulat;on of Ncw-York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City forty years ago, did not amount to
one hundred thousand at that time Philadelphia
o.t.nurnbercd New-York There were scarcely
any building, on Broadway and Chatham street.


ubovc where the City Hall now stands--cver that
was no, tlcn built; few wharvcs, only in the


lower part of the city, none above Cathariue-
stree, on tho East River and the North River
there vas scarcely any. Some years after this,
Amy & Brown cornnsnccd sending colton-twi.t
10 this market for sale, but III very small quanti-
ties, and long after that few began to make some
so1nnol American cotton goods. There were none
who Gold domestic goods as business on COM
mission, and William r. and Samuel Mott were
the first that undertook to sell domestic manutac-
nlrcs en- commission in the city, and they are beth
NOW living. Now mark the difference: The city
and vicinity has increased to four hundred thou
sand inhabitants; all above the City Hall has
since been built, hills levclcd, streets made, and
all below has been built, and some parts several
times. Wlalvcs made from Goth street, East
River, to Goth street North River,-Sou,h-s,rcc
and most part Of Front, have been filled in: 50
have Wcs, and Washington streets, and now there
arc hundreds who sell domestic goods on commits
sion, and coastng trade has increased almost
beyond calculation. Then had few ,loops
where we now have schooners and brigs, and the
wl;rvcS are nov crowded more than tlcv were
then, as much Us they haze been extended. An
old Albany sioop captain was asked the last
lucr how many sloops ii would now take to do the
hssincss between Albany Troy and New-York that
is done now by the tow-boats. His answer was,
that two hundred would not begin to do it; and do
Won ask whether our increase Of manufactures and


internal communications has not been the cause of
all this change? l say it has and it requires only
an American feeling TO bring about still greater
j want every true American to say, will not buy
article of imported fabric if | can get that
which Us made here, and rest assured but in very


little time every such article will be made here
cheaper and better than can be got cscwhcrc.-
And the Home League is TO do that. In my ncxtl
will cndeavor to show the grcut advantage our city
will derive by completing the Ncw-l ork and Erie
Railroad, and that speedily. W.
