The prices of Bleached Goods had changed in
the same ratio Domestic Prints (staple slyles)
l2a to 1865! to 1870. do. Cloths and CAST
meres and Satinets, reduced not less than 49,


Tie effect of the Tariff on Calicoes or
Prints is probably as great as on any other
article. During the year 1910, large guam
titles of British Prints were imported, that
cost from 22c. to CSC. per yd., and in l843,
Prints ofas good quality were produced in
this country as low as I5c per yd, which
entirely excluded British Prints from our
markets.


The Tariff has not only had the tenden-
cy to reduce Domestic Goods, but it may
and has reduced Foreign Goods. For ex'
ample: Irish linens were imported in l8-
Al duty free in lS43 they paid duty 25
per cent and with the duty added are at least
20 per cert Loacer than IN lS41.


The prices of silks have varied less du
ring that time than upon other goods, yet
there was a considerable difference in lS4l. |
sewing silks &c. paid duty of 80 per
cent, and IN lS43 they pay duty o. 81 90
per pound or about 45 per cent and yet the
article can be bough: considerably less. |
English and French cloths and Casimeres
IN 184l paid duty 50 per cen: and in
'43 paid 40 per cent, and these Goods are
not less than 90 per cent lower IN '43 than
in al.


Almost every style of Domestic and For
eign Dry Goods, has been effected in the |
same ratio as those here enumerated, and we
are not mistaken in their quotations, for they |
are copied from our original invoices and |
inventory under the respective dates of l8
Al and 1S43.
