~ The Ple6eian tries one moro twist on the
Tariff, but to no purpose. 1t goes back again
and parades what it calls the prices of cotton
goods in Boston in lS43 and 1874. But what
does that prove? Every body knows that precisely
the same Tariff existed in both ycars-that the
present Tariff had been months in operation : IN
the early part of 1543.' All know, too, that
there was then great depression in the prices
Of manufactures, owing to the badness of trade,
and that many manufacturers failed, because
thew could not sell their fabrics for enough to
nav the cost of the raw material. The Plebelan
chuckled over the mislortunes of Senator Sim
mons, the Saugerties Works, &c.--could it ex-
meet that goods would continue to be made at
ruinous prices But it says untruly that the
duties on Cotton Goods were prohibitory in 1912
before the present Tariff was enacted-they were
no such thing, and large quantities of cheap
goods were thrown in upon US in spite oil 1t.
Yet now, with stiff Protection and Cotton 30
per cent. higher than at this time in 1912, we
have Cotton Goodsas cheap as then. What can
the Plebeian say to this Why does it not face
