CHESTER COUNTY
Resolved, That the law modifying & equal
izing the high restrictive duties of the act of
1842, passed at the session of Congress just
closed. demands a fair trial, matured as it was
upon a comprehensive survey of agriculture,
commeree„ manufactures and labor, Ind sus
tained by votes from all sections of the Union,
east, west, north, and south. The duties of
thirty per cent., are a large discrimination to
favor of the manufacturer, which will be in
creased by freight, insurance, and other cost,
ten or fifteen per cent, more; and that we view
it as, a libel upon A merican enterprise and skill,
to assert that, with such a protection, of over
40 per cent., aided by preeminent natural re
sources. they cannot stand out against any
competition whatever. That sun a course in
reference to this law is due not only to the
public sentiment of the country. as manifested
in Congress, hut also to the lasting welfare and
success 01 each and all of its great interests ;
and more especially of the iron and coal inter—
ests of Pennsylvania—in order that the actual
operations of the law may be discovered, and
amended, if necessary, and the tariff question
thus he permanently settled upon principlei of
right aud justice. and its frequent agitations, so
injurious to all affected by our revenue laws,
hereafter be avoided.

re - loced reward, and the farmer with a diminish

ton Irgos, a paper published in the "iron
I.•gnoi - of that State. makes the lollowmg sensi
ble and correct remarks on this subject :
Now that the great strtisele in Congress is
over, and a new tariff bill passed. it becomes
the good people of the nation to sit down and
ralnilt consider the effect o hich it may have
upon the Interests of the country. hod in do
ing su, 00mnanimity, and a strict regard for the
Into rests of all our fellowcitizeni will forbid our
ronsidermg it in regard to its effect upon any
particular section or State, hut upon the country
generally ; not in regard to one class of inch•
Voluals, but to all. That some classes will be
in a degree affected by .the new tariff, none, we
presume, will deny, while others • it must be
admitted, will he greatly benefited. Our sub
ject at Oils time is, to see how some of the great
interests in Pennnsylvania may be affected by
it. This State has certainly distinguished itself
in the manufacture of iron; and it is said that
this braffch of businessiis4o ba materially affect
ed, and perhaps in a measure checked. But
we think that a short statement of (acts will show
that this cannot be, unless men will abandon the
most profitable business that can he followed in
Pennsylvania, for the express purpose of pro
during a panic for political effect.
Before the tariff of 1842 went into operation,
there were a great number of iron furnaces in
the State, and pig metal was manufactured and
sold at $lB, $2O, and $22 per ton. During this
period, the farmer received from $1 12 to $1
50, and in 1837-'3B, $2 per bushel for his
wheat. Mechanics did. Well, and the prices of
daily, and weekly, anti monthly labor, were
entirely satisfactory to trie laborer. All classes
were therefore doing well, and all prospering
together. ./ . 111S was democratic and right.—
But how is it now under the tariff of 1842 r—
iron has raised from 528 to $36 per ton,
while wheat has fallen to 74 cents per bushels,
and the prices of labor in proportion—an event
which the Whigs have always told us could not
happen ; fur their doctrine in relation to this
branch of business is, that in proportion as the
price of iron raised, so would the price of grain
and But quite the contrary is the case..; 7
Far at the Crane Iron Works, an extensive
furnace in a neighboring county, we are credi
bly informed, that as the price of iron went
the prices of labor went down—and income in
stances as low as sixty cents a day; and 'find
themselves. The tarifl'of 1842, therefore . , dues
not openite upon all classes equally ; for while
the manufacturers are making immense fortunes.
the farmer, mechanic, and day. laborer do not
and cannot (under the present state of things)
prosperin the same ratio.
Now it is said that anthracite 'iron can be
manufactured in this country as cheap as in
England or Wales, to wit: fur about 814 per
ton. But, to do justice to our calculation, we
Will say $l5 per ton. It is now selling for from
$2B to $36 per ton, but say $3O as an average
price. The difference between $l5 and $3O is
$l5. which is the clear profit of every ton, at
the furnace, under the tariff of 1842. Add to
this the trilling expense of transportation to
market, and you get the clear profit there of from
$ll to $l3 per ton. At the ftfrnace above re
ferred to, it is said 140 tons are manufactred
every week; wltich.at $l5 per ton at the furnace,
makes in the aggregate $2lOO clear weekly profit.
which is $3OO per day. But suppose the tariff
of 1846 will reduce it to $25 per ton, it would
leave a clear profit at furnace ,of $lO per ton,
the weekly profit $2OO. What, it may he ask
ed, is the present duty on pig iron, to produce
this result ! It $9 per toe. Under the new
tariff it is 30 per cent, ad valorem ; that is, 30
per cent. on the cash price in England, or else
where. This, it is said, has varied during the
last ten years, front $lO to $lB per ton. making
its average value about $l4 per ton. This sum
at 30 per cent. would he $4 20, which will he
the ditty under the new tariff. Deduct 54 20
from $9 00, the present duty, will leave tBO
difference, which will be the only reduction per
ton under the bill of 1846 ; and take the $4 80
from our previously assented average r rice of
$3O per ton, will still leave the price not less
than $25 per ton, as before stated, and tile clear
profits at the furnace of $lO per ton. Now, if
this calculation is correct. which is based upon
admitted data, It is clear that English iron can
never compete with American 111 price, For,
if it can he manufactured here as cheap as in
England. tile American wand:titterer has great-
Ivadhe advantage, inasmuch as lie has it, duty
to pay, and the expense of Irtinvorhaion being
much less than the cost of importation, he will
always be able to realize most excellent profits.
We could also show that about in the saute
proportion will haLiron be affected by the tariff
of 1810. It is no wonder, therefore, that so
loud a line and cry has been raised by a few irtni
toasters in favor of the tardf of 1812, under
which they are literally coining money,
But while they are thus doing, how is it with
the fanner, mechanic, and laborer?- We be
lieve it will be admitted, that a farmer does w ell
who makes six per cent. t liar pion' en hat a n .
vestment. Upon an average. however, it is said,
they make only four and tire per cent. The
mechanic in iron i also complaining that iron ,s
at present too hieh, and that be Vail Illakt, !lad -
ing, ; while the day laborer tells its that work is
koraice, dolt "rain is so I I\V that fanners eannot
afford to hire—and so it is. For what farmer
can aff o rd to hire hands to raise wheat at 75
rents per bushel, and other grain in proportion ?
Under this state of thanes what, we would ask,
could Congress do, hut step in and intelere in
behalf of the farmer, the mechanic, and tar I.
to prevent 511,:h vastly unequal operations
of th e tariff of 1842. and to promote. it possible.
a more equal disttibution of wealth ? And this
will he done by the new land. And how, it
may he asked l Why, by a reduction cf the
datyancurrything that enters into die coitsuinp
lion of t he farmer, merhanw, and laborer. To
instance a few of them: tea and eoffe will hi
free under the new tariff; sugar will be reduced
from 62 per cent. to 30, vinegar from 52 to 30,
salt front 76 In 20, and in a similar ratio has
almost everything of foreign production with
which the fainter, mechanic, and laborer would
be likely to clothe himself with been reduced.—
Bolt and bar iron has also been 'educed from
73 per cent. to 30, nail or spike rods from 99 to
30. cut or wrought into spikes from 108 to 30.
Bei time and space will prevent us from carry
ing the gratifying coinparisou further. Enough
has been done to satisfy tile most skeptical of
the vast benefits which a great majotitv of the
freeinen of tits nation are to derive from do
tard!' of 1813, that the Congress whin Ii passed it
have legislated for the 11111111 l ;Ind lilt the few . ;

For their benefit it was passed, and in their

duties on the common netiessaries of life, which
will reduce in proportion the rust thereof, is
precisely the same as raising the price in the
:same proportion on t Fain, or any mechanical
production, or the work of the laborer. The
effect tat the same; the benefit is the Name.—

Stand by the Tlcke
Stand by the ticket and you will stand by the Dem
ocracy. Rest rumored of this Gra, and ho nailed away
by any seductive promises of .the Whigs. Take- our
advice. Those who lease the RePublican party; if any
there be who c4ntemplate so rash and ill-advised • move
ment; will sincerely regret a step which will certainly
be retraced with shame and sorrow.
Fidelity to regUlar nominations compels en adherence
to Democratic principles by procuring the success of the
Democratic party. This principle is a cardinal one in
our party drill, and ought to be obeyed with military
promptitude and strictness. Without such a principle
we can never secure harmony of action, that long pull,
strong pull and the•pull altogether which drew the titate
back again into the clear channel of Democracy. Baeh
a principle silences all disaffecticn and brushes away
the whims of individual preference and prejudice.—
The candidate presented for the suffrages of the party is
no longer my man or his man, but he is the man of the
party, the regularly nominated candidate, and in that
capacity every Democrat is bound to rote forbim. The
man who does not intend to abide the decision of our con
ferences and conventions ought to take higher ground
and oppose the method of selecting candidates, at the
proper time.. and nut seem to acquiesce in their proceed
ings until they have closed their deliberations, and then
withhold his support from the ticket which has been
framed. Such a man does no party any good. He
scratches his ticket and votes for. no one, or votes for
his own favorite, and thus the voice if one freeman is
lost.
Stand by the ticket. It is the sure text of a disciplin
ed Dernocracy.—Lizion.
