This sum will undoubtedly be swelled to at
least Five and Half Millions of Dollars for this
single port at the close of the quarter two weeks
hence and, as the collections at all the other
Dorts cannot fall far below the amount realized
here. the total Revenue of the United States from
Customs only cannot fall below Ten MILLIONS
for the current quarter, or at the rate OF FORTY
MILLIONS per annum. But we do not suppose the
receipts will be as heavy throughout as IN the first
quarter of the year They will probably (lf the
Tariff is let alone, range from THIRTYTwo to
THIRTY. FIVE MILLIONS, deraying all the current
Expenditures of the Government, and afordlng
TEN to FIFTEEN MILLIONS surplus TO be employ
ed in redeeming the remaining Treasury Notes
and about hall paying off the National Debt


=. All but says triumphant Free Trader,
you are calculating on heavy imports IN spite



We are anticipating that our imports for the year
will range from One Hundred to One Hundred
and Ten Millions--a far and sale amount, which
will be overbalanced by our exports, and allow
us to bring back considerable amount in specie
or (what we greatly prefer astill greater amount
in our dishonored and deprecated State Bonds.
We appeal, then, to conslderate and candid men
of all parties to stand forth in favor OF the pohcy
of letting ,reN alone. The present Tariff, 1t is
demonstrated does not cut off Foreign Trade but
steades and lnvigorates ii. 1t does not diminish
the Revenue but greatly increases it, so that our
entire National Indebtedness may be paid off in
three years at iarthest If 1t is simply lei alone
That it does not cripple Industry or diminish the
rewards Of Production let the universally of En-
ployment and the abundant strikes for higher
wages answer. Then why should the Tariff be
overthrown? Can any man imagine?
