In the history of the United States, there
are certain marked lines drawn between those
periods when Free Trade had 'the control of
affairs, and when protection was called upon
to administer the affairs of government.—
Forinstanee, in 1842 . , when free trade was
Compelled to give place to protection, it had
to deliver up a country from which money
was steadily flowing4with an immense foreign
debt—with s bankrupt' government— . ;-with
credit annihilated , at home and abroad—with
a people unable to sell, their labor for -what
was required for the -purchase of food and
clothink-- and with fitt whole farming and
planting interest . coupelled to accept prices
less by fifty per cent" than - they had obtained
but a few years before, when a vast domestic
market hal so largely diMinished the neceasi•
ty for depending on foreign ones.
When in 1842 protection assumed the high
position, from Which the true pilicy of this
couutry, shoald forbid it ever'' to recede, it
speedily dissipated the clouds . which the
nation was surrounded. In , view of the jut.
purtance at this time of the question 'of an
le.p.tte : .rotective tariff, and to exhibit in a
strikiug light, the benefits which hive accrued
to the country when protection existed, we
wilt make the following extract- from a pain.
phlet repr.nt of articles, which appeared re.
cently in the columns of • the Philadelphia
North American aid New Turk TribUpe, on
the sObject of American labor versus pritish
• free trade. - Much food far reflection is con
tained in the statistical facts embraced, their.
in, and we commend the. subjoined to the
earnest atteution of our readers. Ia epeak.
Lig of the period when, the tariff of 1842
came upon the stage ofAaction, the Tribune
says:
b !Lir advent to power was followed by
effects that seem now, when we look back to
them, to have been almost magical. For a
commerce with foreign nations that had re
quired a constant export ofthe precious metals,
she substituted'one that are us, in less than
five years, an excess ^ import of nearly forty
millions, by help of which credit was every
where speedily restored. The federal govern
ment wasat mice enabletito effect loins, which
berere it could not do; but the rapidly inereaa
ing 'revenue, resulting from the growing power
to consume foreign merchandise, speedily re•
um%ed all necessity 'for borrowing money,
either abroad c.r at home. State governments
passed Trans a state of repudiation to one of
the highest credit. Mills, factories, and fur
mutes were again opened, and labor was in
deontad ; and once a g ain prosperity reigned
throug out the laud, and such ,prosperity as
it had never known, except iu the clos ing years
of the protective stem established by the
law.? tit 1824 and 1828..
" :low wonderful; were the effects of the
tariff of 1842 will be seen upon a perusal of
the following brief statemeut of facts. In
1812, the quantity' of iron - produced .in the
country but little exceeded 200,000 tons ; by
iB4ti it had groWn.to an .amount exceeding
8J9,000 tons. In 1842, the ecalsent to market
was but 1,250,0110 tons; in 1847 it exceeded
3.000,000. The •cotton and woollen.manufae
tures,arid minufaetures of every kind,`indeed,
grew with rapidity, and thus was made every
where adernand tor Mod, cotton, wool, tobaece,
and all other produZits of the field, the conse
quences of whbdi were seen in the fact that
prices everywhere rose—that money bectime
everywhere abundant—that farmers, and Pro
petty holders generally, were enabled to pay
off their mortgages,-that sheriffs' sales almost
ceased—and that the rich ceased to be made
richer at the expense of those whu were poor.
. " Oreat, however, as was the change. effect
ed, it had but commenced when the Democ
racy in 'Congress, elected as frieuds of "Polk,
Dallas, - and the tariff of 1842," determined
upon a change' of policy. The domestic mar
act been, in a great degree, annihilated
by - the closing of mines, mills, urnaces,:and
machine-shops,. and time was required to get
them once again in mution,to coltect together
again the hands that, under free trade, had
been dispersed to the four wind's of heaven;
and to open ,nr_ build new ones. All these
things had been doing, a_d were being done, :
when at e ce protection was abolished, and'
the country :was again banded over to free
trade government.
" Nor a time, as had been the case in '-the
years" that followed .the passage of the com
promise tariff- of. 18.13, the new system was
enabled to trade upon the prosperity that had'
been produced by the one it had supplanted.
I its effects, however, aeon began to exhibit
themselves, in the expulsion of the precious
metals that had been imported in the previ
ous period:--the three years ending 1849—'50 .
exhibiting an export greater than the import
by thirteen millions of dollars. If to this be
added but little inure than two millions a year
fur wear•land tear, loss, and consumption in
the arts, we have twenty millions less in the
country than, were tube found here in 1847.
Large as wan this sum,-it would have been
quadrupled but for the fact that, instead of
' paying fur our imports, as we had dune from
1842 to 1847, we gave bonds for them, and
to an amount not less probably than a hun
dred millions of dollars, requiring six millions
'a year fur the payment of, the interest there
on. Merchifidise of every kind flowed in;
and gold and silver flowed out, and the conse
quences were seen in the stoppage of mills,
unites, furnaces, machine•shops, and factorieS
of every description ; and .thus, •as early as
1850, did we obtain evidence of t e fact that
• free trade and prosperity never travel in com
pany with each other. The former had bro
ken down the .country iu' the period from
1818 to .1824, again iu that from 183.5 to
1842, and now again it was producing effects
precisely similarottort as had been its 'hold
on power.
••%.;atournia gold, however, was then discov
ered, and thus.was the downward muvement
temporarily arrested. In the first years, a
part of it remained among ourselves, pram
mug everywhere a .demand for labor, and
power to pay for-its products; while the de
mand fur miners abroad, to go 'to California
acid Australia, tended greatly to raise the
prices of furesgu coal, lead, iron, and machi
. nery of every description, and thus to enable
our own people to work to seine
We, therefore, opened mines, and built furna
ces and mills, and fur a time there was an sp.
pearance of prosperity that by many was sup-,
posed likely to be permanent; and to furnish
• evideuce that protection was uo'lunger needed
—that it had become an "obsolete idea"—
and that, to use the 'words of the 'Union, it
was "a blight." These men had however,
• not studied the working of the sys tem which
• looks to allowing . the farmers and planters of
the West:but u single market in whichto sell
t h e i r f oo d' and their wool, and in which to.pur
chase the cloth and the iron thejt, require to
consume—the system called free trade—:—antl
which looks to ;tviug the people of Manches;
tar and Birmingham a monopoly of the man
utacturing machinery, of
.the warld. It is one
- that has ruined ever", comitry.'that has sub.
Mined to it, and that'has ruined us whenever
.We bays ceased to guard (nineties against it,
..by efficient protection to our farmers and
planters, in their efforts to bring the spindle,
'the loom, and - the hammer, to take their
omit places by the side of the plough eagle

1842. It is ready now at once to restore cre

"Free trivia, on the contrary, is, As we are
assured, "a blessing; but it is one of those

ruined us br 182 a. It found as still_ more
prosperous in 1834, and it ruined us by 1841.
It found us yet more prosperous in 1847, and
it had almost ruined us by 1850; and now,
in spite of the hundreds ,of at !lions of Cali
fornia gold, we find ourselves, at tfie close of
the eighth year of the tariff of 1846, surround
ed everywhere by evidences of approaching
ruin, even where the ruin has not already been
fully consummated.
"We beg our friends of.the Union to study
these facts, and then to favor us with their
opinion, whether we may not fairly venture to
claim' their aid in support of an effort to re
peal the tariff of 1846, and to replace it by
that of 1842." ~

A magniffeent steam engine Of 160 horse power
performed, the Soiadiag fur this colliery—it has
been lately erected and contains all the modern
improvements. 'From this and other pits along the
'brow of a bill, a railroad costing $16,000 has been
built, to-convey the. Coal and "mine" to the fur
naces, a mile and a half distant. A little locomo
tive clostingssooo, and drawing twenty-two tons
of minerals, performs this duty.
Out of the Gwin Glyn pits, are worked three
different beds of Coal and two Measures of iron
stone. This Coal seams in descending order . are,
the "Rock vein" eight foot thick, poseessiug quali
ties which , the miner designates by -the term
"licathing"r—that is, the roof and floor being
very unstable, there is a continual crushing and
'moving amongst, the particles of Coal; this quality
not only renders the "Rock vein" a very expensive
one to work, but is also the cause of a certain.
amount of danger frOm the gas which is given off
in the heathiegpsocess. In the Rock vein pit, I
noticed a number of gooses or places in which the
- gas was boarded or bricked up. - - •
Some terenky t two yards below the Rock vein of
Cual-in the "Meadow vele" with (in mining Owe
soulogY) a 'ripping' top and a 'stunning' bottom—
these two expressive etcetera implying . that the
roof and floor are Leith substantial, and. equal to
the burden`whiCh is imposed upon thim in conse
quence of the iiatraction of the Coal. The "Mea

much as i"Ruck vein" foi% quarity is , a much
leis expensive ham to work. Its thickness is ten
feet. Five yards below the "Meadeir vein" Coal
is the "old Coal" five and -a half feet thick—it is a
good coking Coal, a quality which •recommends
it to the Iron-Masters; whose blast furnaces here

The Germ Olin Colliery wa. commenced about
two years ago-L t its arrangements are all admirable
and adapted to the raisingrof one thoisaild toss a
day of Chat and ore—at present it is not raising
mere then /.50 tons of Coal 11119 forty of ore.
I have previously hinted of the difficulty of
separating, in' t ,tlais region,`the consideration of
Coal from the; *on mina In my tour through
Wales, I: shall not attempt to sander this
close eouniixionbf the two minerals, but alien give
• your readers from time to time such notes upon
the great Iron arorks of Wales (the greatest in the
world) as may he supposed to be must interesting '
to them. To the Pennsylvania iron master, these
little scraps ofinformation, gathered bn the spot
[trim observation of theworks of their great rivals,
may not be destitute of interest. a ,
In 'she present instance, the Pontyp ool company
have at this place (besides other establishments in
South Stalfordshire,) four blast furnaces, produc
ing when its full operatiun 760 tons per week,
or at the rate 4190 tons per thrtteo--which must
be considered away large yield. This is is quality
of iron; fitted , for merchant bars and - for the-tia
ming mill. .ohe of these furnaces uses the hot
blast—the blast as well as the boilers of the-en
gines that fora it,being heated by the coasOmp
dun of the.nasite gases, led off -from near th'e top.
The stoves fur ;heating the blast are on the same
level with the top of the furnaces, but to ene side:
Wales has not succeeded.as well as Pennsylvania
in themtilisatinn of these waste gases of blast fur
naces—but numb better than South Staffordshire,
where the attempt, made in numberless instances,
has almost every' where failed. , ' , . - ' - •
The tinning issiU of the Pontypool company, is
:one of thelargest of those well known establish
ments which have sprung up in Wales, for the
coating of ,them iron plates with a solution of tin,
making the Common tie known to commerce, Thii
Mick tie is brought from Cornwall, in lumps about
a- foot and a half long and wide.' and one foot
thick." Thestirare melted, and the thin plate's
(made of; No. 4 iron) dipped in the solution. It
is remarkable thal although almost the first his
torical inftirination we have of Great Britain 2500
years ago, was connected . with the' exportation of
tin from Cornwall, yet it was not until 1681, (or
about the time. Pennsylvania was founded by Wm.,
Penn,) that tin;plates were 6ret made in England.
The art was learnt from the Bohemians, by Andrew
Yarrington, whilst traveling on the Continent, and
by him introdnced into his native country. The'
production at thid day cannot be less than from
two to three hundred thousand liesasper annum.
In 1834, it wail 180,000 boxes, and the tin works
at that time deployed over 5000 men directly in
the manufacture. Four-tlftbs of all the tin plates
"made in the world is said to be turned out of these
Welsh mills. The plates are of two qualities 'of
which th; best are made in charcoal furnaces—
their dimenriens 'are eighteen by ten and a half
Inches, and 125 of them go to a born The price
per box, liererls $D,25,' which your readers can
compare with ,the prices paid at huir,e, and learn
how soon they - can afford to introduce the wane-.

'million data worth are produced annually from
the Pontipool Mill. A great many hands are am
