The New York Tribune has been pub
fishing series of articles giving the
different prices of goods under the Tariff
OF l84l, and their prices at present under
what is termed by the Locotocos the
"Back Tariff" We make the followin g
extract:- VicksJurg Wig.


FACTS AGAINST THEoRIEs.-PinS are
among ;he articles instanced by the Free
Traders Of our City and elsewhere, as ex.
brilliantly taxed by the present Tariff
over SO per cent. What has been the
consequence Are Pins dearer than they
were under low dutya-By no means,
but the contrary. Although there are
but two or three Pin manufactures in the
country, (the oldes:, of but nine years
standing, only made its first dividend last
year,) yet pins are cheaper now in this
country than before. A gentleman whose
name is with us gives US striking illus
tratlon of this fact. He is the inventor
of a machine to stick pins in papers,
which does the work with great rapidity,
and fancied he might make a spec, by |
buying Pins without papers in England
ard sticking them on papers here. So he
sent over to inquire the price, and was
surprised TO find tina! he could bug Pins in
papers al an american factory as ch cap as
he could buy as good Pins before sticking
IN England. There are inferior quail,
ties to be bought cheaper in England, but
a right good article cost 81 cents a pound
there, and he could buy them for that
here.


Sad irons are set down in the Hard
ware Importers Memorial as taxed l4O
per cent. by the present Tariff Let it 90
at that. They cost "A centsper pound in
our market under the low duties of 184l,
and they can now be bought here for 81
cents per pound--a reduction of I6 per
cent. That horrible Tariff seems to have
IN odd way of taxing our people.
