II The Erening Post has an acre Of tables
intending to show, what nobody doubts, that the
present Rates of Duty on British Cottons and
Calicoes are high. If they are not high enough
to keep them out altogether, we regret it. A 20
per cent. Revenue duty would give the British
manufacturer a decided advantage of our own
workmen in our own market; for at this moment
English Calicoes of the same quality and intrinsic
value ,ciU sell in oar market four cents gard
higher than the american article owing to the
greater scarcity of the patterns. An English and
an American manufacturing firm each get up a
new pattern OF calicoes and print off their usual
amount, say 100000 pieces. Now of the Ame-
rican goods 10000 pieces will remain IN this
country, 10000 of the British will come here
and the well known fact that the latter is rarer
ensures it a considerably higher price in our own
market. To reduce the duty on Calicoes to 30
per cent. is in effect to destroy the American
manufacture, though we make very nearly as
cheap as any body else.


And now let US expose glaring fraud imposed
on the Post and Its readers by the Free Trader
who prepared It's tables: He gives table OF
what he says were the prices Of American Cotton
goods last Spring and now, showing rise Of
nearly 25 per cent But he conceals and utterly
suppresses the fact that since last Spring rqto
CorroS has risen nearly so per cent! 1t by
such rogueries as this that Free Trade is
bolssered.
