AN IxPoaTASr F.cr-A gentleman has placed
in oar hands the following statement, in regard
to the manufacture Of paper hangings, which is
very good Illustration ofthe operation of Pro-
tcctiye Tariff, lot only in regard to that article,
but also Of all Other d0nesic manufactures. We
presume The statement may be relied on, as the
gentleman who handed it to us, he's the means
of being correctly informed upon the subject.


He states that previous to the passage of the
Tariff OF 40, the article Of hanging paper had
specific duty on it Of 50 much IA small sum- pei
piece of ten yards, which duty protected the
common or coarse article that cost in France 20
cents. while it did not protect that which cost
FROM 60 cents to S200 The Tarff of '42 laid
an ad valorem dr'y Of 81 per cent. Upon paper
hangings, which protects all kinds, and eince the
passage Of that act importation has almost cess-
ed, the fac article which wss formerly imported
from France, being now manufactured IN this
coun,rY. 4; the same time the cost has been
reduced more than one half. Our informant
states tha, more then $500, 900 are nov annually
distributed among American workrpen who are
engaged in the manufacture Of this article. Of
course, a considerable potion Of this half mil
l;oa Of dolar=, gees t. the farmer for provisions
to support the wo,kr,en and their f3ml!iss, and
tn other manufacturers engaged making cottons
and woolens, hats boots, shoes, &c. Sc. whom
the farmers must also feed.


And vet, we are told the: the Tariff does not
b1ns6: the farmer L. s. G-z.
