Tariff .4necdote-A Locofoco Farmer came 10 Wheeling market not long ago with cheese to sell. He made bargain with shoemaker and took shoes for his cheese. After the trade was made, he be- gan to grumble about protective Tariff. Said he, Now. with your rascally Whig protection, you have pocke,ed just the amount of the protection and take it from me without even an equivalent.'- The shoemaker replied that he thought he was mistaken. No, said the farmer. there is no mis- take about it; the consumer always pays as much more for the article as the protection amounts to and you may preach your Whg nonsense till you are gray, you cant make me believe it, We'll said the shoemaker, will make you fair proposition, and if your doctrine is true, it certainly is fair.

 will deduct the protection from the shoes, and you shall deduct the protection from the cheese, and so we will make fair exchange. Agreed said the Loco. Upon examination. the protection on shoes about 50 per cent. and that on cheese about 9 cents per pound. The poor loco gave it up and backed out, for he found his cheese was worth only cents per lb in that market, and that after deducting the protection, he would not only have to give away his cheese but three cents for every pound besides. He went home, hoisted an Ash pole, and now goes for Clay and protection His name can be given if required.-O Ohio Rep.
