Timm. ANONYMOUS IN PERIODICALS
There is an afflectation in some American
periodicals of concealing the names of those
trim write particular articles. Like many other
bad customs, this is derived from the practice
in England. The Edinburgh and Quarterly
lleitiews may be said to have established what
was formerly only occasionally adopted. Yet
who could be mistaken as to the authorship of
the leading papers in each number? There,
in the Edinburgh, as visible as if the name
were placed at the head of the article, was
,readily recognizable the keen analysis of JEJR. ,
FREY,,the laughing sarcasm of SYDNEY SHITU,
the vigorous hand of.Bnomnam, the strong
sense* of Honzut, the logical force of Wnara
ter, the metaphysical thought of MACIUNTOSH,
the Imaginative delicacy of Moan, and later
still, the brilliant word-painting of ltfAeAur,Ax.
So, in the Quarterly, reading men at once know
the sarcastic bitterness of OITYORD, the ele
gant scholarship of ELLIs, the kindly feeling
Of WALTER Scow, the deep learning of
Setrrursr, the geographical knowledge of BAR.
sbvr 2 ,,the poetic criticism of bfit Itkit, and the
ItWeeping force of - Loestawr. This recogni
tion is more difficult now,' when the writers in
the great British Quarterlies are so much in
ferior to those whom we hail) named—flounder
ing in the deep waters which the others
breasted, with sinewy force and wonderful self
reliance. They, are less readily recognised,
because, wanting the individuality which ema
nates from Genius, there is loss interest in
speculating about inferior people.
The Magazines have affected the anonymous
. also, but, with the exception of Blackwood and
Household Words, the concealment has been
almost nominal. Chamber's Edinburgh Jour
nal, in its prime, (which long since passed
away,) kept a good deal, though not wholly,
to the anonymous. Dies ass has made it the
rule of his Housekold Words, and the result is
two-fold--first, that some excellent writers,
such as SALA and Wuxin COLLINS, have in
' voluntarily given an echo of his style, and
next, that, while Gtermis actually writes very
little in his own periodical, ho gets the credit
of almost every good thing that appears in it.
Blackwood preserves the anonymous mar
vellously well—and better now than formerly.
When " Christopher North" poured out his
poetic prose, every body detected JOHN WIL
SON. When " Ensign and Adjutant Morgan
O'Doherty" rollicked in the pages of Ebony,
running riot in criticism and getting merry as
well as witty at the "Nodes Arnbrosiame,"
who did not know the erratic and brilliant pen
of Dr: Macumr4 7 And so, equally, with DE
QUINCY, OILLIES, LOCKHART, STAIE, and a long
array of wits and scholars, who used to write
for Blackwood. ',Utterly, few are recognizable.
ATTOUN, always—ALlSON, often—W.4,lMM,
invariably. The style betrays each known
writer. Sometimes, there is a good deal of
guessing. Thus the authorship of " The CRY
tolls" was a long time undetected. So
Zaidee" was not discovered until it appeared
reprinted in a separate form, when it appeared
that a practised novelist, MAROARDT OLIPHANT,
was the writer. So, " The Athelings," alto
ODIPHANT, was attributed to many
authors, until, at last, the truth came out. So
"Lady Lee's Widowhood," a dashing, splash
ing, man-of-the-world novel, was accredited to
ut least twenty popular authors, and turned out,
at last, to have been written by a cavalry officer,
Major ILunrs.
Harper's Magazine ostentatiously preserves
the anonymous, and does not gain anything by
doing so. At first, when it avowedly was
mainly made up of articles !( conveyed " from
foreign periodicals, perhaps there was worldly
'wisdom in not naming the source. But, since
it has become established, with a circulation
larger than any monthly periodical ever ob-
Ltained, in any country, it has gone largely into
original articles, and, in truth, takes very lit
tle from foreign sources. It can well afford to
abandon them altogether, resting its credit on
entire originality, and generously doing jus
tice to its own contributors bypublishing their
names.
The Knickerbocker, on the other hand,
which is the oldest American magazine, and
composed wholly of original matter, almost
always publishes the authors' names, and many
a reputation, which now is groat all over the
world of letters, had its commencement in the
genial pages of" Old li:flick." Had they been
cabined, cribbed, confined," within the fro
zen boundary of the anonymous, when they
first wrote, they might, in disgust, early have
dropped the pen.
When Putnam's Magazine was commenced,
in 1853, there was an affectation of mystery
as regarded the authorship of the respective
articles. A poor affectation it was—for that
universal confidant, the press, was made ac
quainted with each name, and told the public
that LOISOPELLOW and BRYANT, CURTIS and
Cozzens, and all the rest, poetized or prosed in
such or such articles.
We were curious to see how the new peri
odical which notional Boston had announced
would manage. We did not dream of the
anonymous here, for twenty-four native and six
foreign writers, of more or less celebrity, were
duly advertised as forming the literary stall of
the Atlantic Monthly. A fortnight ago, the
first Number appeared (beautifully printed, we
must say) and lo! not an author's name to
even a single article. Strictly anonymous, in
deed. While we yet wondered at the want of
judgment thus exhibited—for the public like
to know authors' names, to judge whether
what they aro reading equals what they had .
read, from the name pens, besides the gain
in the way of popularity—we find a paragraph
in a Massachusetts paper, which raises the
curtain pretty fully. There aro nineteen
different articles, (exclusive of editorial,
literary and musical,) and our country con
temporary names the authors of eleven of them.
We learn that the Personal Reminiscences of
DOUGLAS JERROLD MS written by JAMES HAN
NAY, au English writer; Illusions, by Encason,
the transcendentalist ; The Manchester E WM.
tion, by CHARLES E. NORTON, of Cambridge;
British India, by C. C. HAZEWELL, of Boston;
The Origin ofDidacticPoetry,bgAnus RUSSELL
LOWELL ; The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,
by Homms; Pendlam, by J. R. TROWORIDOR
Sally Parson's Duty, by Miss R4ll TERRY, of
Hartford ; Akin by Marriage, by C. W.
Ppacto, of Suffield, Ct.; The Mourning Veil,
by Mrs. STOWE; awl The Financial Flurry, by
PAR RE GODW/N. By the way, had GODWIN'S
name been prefixed to this last, we should
have read it moro carefully than we did—for
you may as well put a kettle) on the fire and
bid it not boil, (the illustration, though homely,
was made by WALTER SCOTT,) as get PARKE
GODWIN to write without his plunging, in some
way, into a diatribe against the South. And,
sure enough, at the wind-up of a discus
sion on the causes of the financial panic,
Mr. Grooms slily introduces a hit at
"the inexorable shape of the slave-power,"
which (he declares) "consults no interest but
its own in the management of Government,
and Will never make a concession to the manu
facturers or the merchants of the North, unless
it be to purchase some new act of baseness, or
bind them in some new chains of servility."
PARKE GODWIN is a very able writer, but the
atlantic Monthly will tie well to remember that
the first serious blow to the undoubted popu
larity obtained by Putnam's Magazine, under
the original editorship, (by Mr. Bamos,) was
given by its publication of Mr. GODWIN'S at
tacks upon the South.
The information respecting the authorship
of articles in the Sttantie Monthly came to us,
in onecountry paper. From another, published
In. New York, we learn that Florentine Mo
saics was written by MOTLaY, historian of the
Dutch Republic; Santa Filomena, by Lose-
FELLOW; The Romroany Girl, The Chartist's
Complaint, Days, and Brahma, by EMERSON ;
and The Gilt of Tritemius, by WHITTIER.
TllO sum total is, out of nineteen anonymous
articles the authorship of eighteen is declared,
in the newspapers, adthin ten days of the pub
lication of the Magazine. Such being the
case, how useless, how ridiculous, is the Idea
of affecting the anonymous.
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1857.
CORRESPONDENCE.
AN APPEAL FOR A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
For The Prem.]
LEBANON, Ootobor 27,1857
It is not in the spirit of the partisan that I ad
dress you this letter, but with the view of calling
your serious and careful attention to a subject, in
which you cannot avoid feeling, in common with
your suffering fellow citizens, a deep and absorbing
interest. The sad condition into which our work
ing and business ela,sos have been suddenly plung
ed, and the present and prospective misery that is
likely to grow out of the terrible revulsion that
has overtaken us, demand the thorough and un=
biased consideration of the people, and mere par ,
Ocularly of those who are placed in the .responsi
ble position of journalists, and as such, exert the
influence that you do. The temperate tone of your
paper, and the sympathy you profess to feel for
those who carryout and conduct the great indus
trial operations of the country, lead me to expect
that you will henoeforth give to the overshadow
ing interests of the working classes an earnest sup
port, and receive the sincerely entertained view'
heroin expressed, in the same spirit of candor and
respect in which I assure you they are offered.
However difficult of solution, and whether proxi
mate or remote the cause may be, of the fearful
break-up in business and nearly total stoppage of
manufactures that have taken place within a few
weeks past, there is no mistaking its effects. These
are presented in eharaeters that' not only excite
commiseration, blit the most serious apprehen•
Sion as reeptiots the condition of myriads of work
lag people during tho'approaching winter. In the
manufacturing and mining districts, the desola
tion produced by the revulsion is the meat
parent. The throng of female operatives, who so
recently tilled our cotton-mills, and made them
resound with the hum of industry, are now east
down and lamenting at the torpor that rests on
their spinning framer and looms. Hard-working,
honest men, embracing an aggregate of several
hundred thousands, have been suddenly bereft of
the means of supporting themselves and their
families, and stand in woful, helpless groups about
the closed doors of the nvichine-fihops, foundries,
rolling-mills, factories, furnaces, and forges, in
which they lately toiled contentedly and cheer
fully for the bread and raiment to which they, of
all others, are the most strongly entitled, This is
not only a distressing but an alarming state of
affairs; and it requires but little acumen to point
out the danger to society, in thus instantly wrest
ing from immense numbers of our people the
"from hand to mouth" support, on which so many
of them depend. Be whore it may, there is a fear
ful accountability resting in some quarter for the
absolute want imposed upon our producing dames.
On occasions such as the present (minis, and in
any emergency of danger and trouble, it is na
tural for men to endeavor to trace effects to their
camel; and even to venture on the suggestion of
remedies, whether they possess any virtue or are
heeded by those at the helm or not. Specifies so
cheap and freely offered, may be worth little or
nothing separately; but from the long array of
them, now presented to the public, the " powers
that be" may be able to extract a little something
from each, that will when combined afford the re
quired relief. Permit me to add ono more to the
list; and though the remedy is by no means an
original ono, but on the contrary a very old one,
it is nevertheless balsamic and deserving of the
consideration and adoption of our citizens Indi
vidually and collectively. I esteem it not only
for its inherent virtues, but because it has come
down to us, invested with the celebrity of having
figured conspicuously in the public, and private,
practices of such sound economists as Dootor
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Tames Madison, and
others equally renowned And endeared to the
American people by their examples of wisdom and
patriotism. It is simply this: Nations and hide%
vidnals, to Le pros". otts, mun live within their
inromc•
kfr. Fox complimented Doctor Adam Smith, in
the House of Commons, for Isis clear and forcible
exposition of this trntit in the " Wealth of Na
tions;" and, though it has long sinoo passed into
an axiom, it is no less strange than true that we
still persist, in violating it nationally and private
ly. As long as wo continuo thus to sin against the
clearest light, wo must suffer from such periodical,
rovulsions as the ono that is now Involving in ruin
our working and commercial classes in all sections
of the country. Tho extent to which wo have
boon pursuing the suioidal polio," of spending more
than our income is exhibited by the tabular state
ments of exports and imports which Amon:Tony
the last report of the Secretary of the Treasury.
During the last eleven years, from 1846 to 1855
inclusive, we have bought foreign wares and mer
chandise to the amount of $2,351,527,001; audit'
the same period we have sold to other nations
breadstulfs and other productions to the amount of
$2,029,172,896, leaving a balance against us, taking
the olohn years together, of $222,354,105; while
at the same time there was a drain of 8277,644,6911
in speedo and bullion from the country—of which
but 875,524,923 has returned to us, leaving our
circulating medium and bullion $202,119,653 short
of what It would hare been under a policy that
would have limited us to buying no moro than we
sold.
The effects of the system of low duties, orpartial
freo trade, that has boon in oporation for the last
eleven years, are various and somewhat compli
cated, but still not very difficult to trace. During
tho operation of the tariff of ISA our manufactures
have had to strugglo severely to oko out a hero ex
istence in competition with foreign workshops;
with the exception of the spasmodic prosperity of
the past throe years, brought about mainly by tbo
increased price of labor in England, and the enor
mous inflation of credit, produced hero by the in
flux of European goods, which wore offered at low
prices, and on toms so inviting that we could not
resist buying, and to an extent far beyond our in
come. The most prominent recipients of this abun
dant credit were railroad companies, which were
numerously organized all over the country, tind
particularly in the West, whore railroads have
boon built that aro twenty years in advance of the
wants of the present timo. But the ability dem%
roads to pay, it seems, was a secondary considera
tion, and was entirely eclipsed by the facility with
which cheap iron could bo bought, and loans no•
gotiated abroad; but that very indifferent iron and
lone could only thus bo had at heavy sacrifices
in the way of snares, ranging from twenty to thirty
per cont., could not have possessed a feather's
weight in the estimation of the pseudo Yankees
who headed there schemes.
To oporato such roads, pay interest on their cost,
and declare dividends out of their earnings, WII9 of
course an impossibility ; but in order to give them
prosperous phase, immense floating debts wore
created, by borrowing money ut enormous rates,
thus sustaining and extending the reprehensible
and ruinous system of usury, that is now devouring
the subatanee of our honest busineas mon. The
holders of such bogus railroad, and other securities
of the kind, were not in the true sense of the word
panic-stricken—for that implies alarm without a
Cause—but they have had occasion to bo alarmed
at the fact, that has within the past few months
become frightfully apparent, thatsucb investments
are worth little more than the paper on which the
certificates of them are written. This discovery
has caused the rush of securities of all kinds into
market, and is the cause of the ruinous decline in
the price of them, and of the total overthrow of
confidence, that has occurred in all sections of the
country.
Facer:sive importations, or the practice of buying
more than we sell, has not only crippled our mann
factures, created a stupendous line of abundant
or cheap credit, by means of which unprofitable
and costly railroads have boon built, and the
wildest speculation in hind, encouraged along
the routes of them; but it has stimulated indi
vidual extravagance to an almost incredible
extent. For the proof of this, I refer you to sta
tistical statement No. 16, annexed to the last re
port of the Secretary of the Treasury, which shows
that the average annual consumption per capita
of foreign goods, under the tariff of 1842, was only
four dollars and fifty-four cents, while the con
sumption per capita under the low duties of the
last cloven years has reached a yearly average of
seven dollars and seventysix rents. The differ
!moo in our use of foreign fabrics and wares,
under the protective and free-trade periods, is
three dollars and twenty-two cents per capita
less' under the former than the latter, which,
multiplied by 21,000,000, the average of our popu
lation for the last eleven years, gives above
51T,000,000 as our annual. and $817,000,000 as our
total consumption of foreign goods in tlint time,
over and above what, it is no more than fair to
presume, it would have been under a policy that
would have restricted us to living within our in
come, or have made our imports and exports td
range as they did under the tariff of 1942. The
balance of trade in our favor during the operation
of the tariff of 1942, or for four calendar yours
under it, as per official statement, was $40,262,188,
exclusivo of spool() either way, whioh is the truo
method of stating the account, instead of classing
coin on either the debit or credit side of It. In
cluding specie In our import and export uooount
does not exhibit its true standing, from tho fact
that such a rendering of it does not help to shoo*
the true consumption and produotion of the coun
try; but in order to bring out the sucoeasful ope
ration of the tariff of 1842 in still stronger robot,
it will be found, even after adding tho import and
export of specie, that the balance in our favor
was $24,279,181,
In view of rho Mote stated, anti Culled from offl.
dial sources, I em at a loss to know how the revul
sion 'tinder which the country is writhing can bo
trued to any other oauso than that of living be
yond Our income, or, In ethos words, importing
Mush more than we export. This, it seems, to mo,
is the true secret of our troubles, and to blame the
Minitel, or point to them as the origin dour embar
rassment, as many persons do, is mistaking ono of
the effects for the cause of our distress. Banks
have doubtless many sins to answer for; but I can
ned see why they should be denounced and held
accountable for their inability to pay their debts
in epoch), while the policy of the National Govern
;went is suoh as to render it impossible for them to
convert the best of assets into coin, by draining the
country of it to pay for extravagant imports on one
hand, and looking up million'ef specie in the Na
tional Treasury on the other,
;Though the question of a protective tariff is still
a mooted one, and many aro sincerely opposed to
55515 a 1111 043UM-40011USO they have not given the
subject the careful and earnest consideration it
deniands—thorn are, however, signs of healthy re
flation appearing of late, in the right quarters,
.oh this important matter. As instances of such re
tire of the " sobor second thought," I have only
space to refer to the Into circular of Duff Green,
Esq. t which is fall of misgiving as to the work•
Ingo of the tariffs of 1818 and 1857, and to the re
cently published opinions of the editor of the Rich.
;Bond Examiner. In that paper of the 23d inst.,
ihere is an article published, that is full of protec
tive tariff data, in spite of an effort to conceal it.
TO, 041010 referred to gives the imports and ex
perts of specie from 1815 to 1857, showing abidance
against us of $258,317,020, and then goes on
to say that, until tho return of the bulk of
Wig , 'fat .treasure to our shores, "we cannot
expect a return of an easy money market
and sound, system of business." But how aro We
to Lidop the drain of specie that has been going
oh—faith the bars exception of two years—for the
past thirteen? Such a tariff ea we have now, 'and
have had for years, will not do it, no bitter expe
rience has pros-on; and the only method to reverse
thestroatu of the life-blood of business, and keep it
Bowing into, ;Maud of out of, tho country, is to re
turn to a tariff approximating, in some respects, to
the tariff of 1812, under the four years operation of
which vie gained specie to the amount of $15,033,-
207, while business of all kinds flourished uninter
ruptedly, and the balance of trade was largely in
our favor. To attribute the drain of epoch:3 from
the country to over-issues or paper money, is a
mistake which is too apparent to pass current.

THE TARIFF.
[For The Press.]
A few men aro just now busily engaged in advo
eating a tariff—not for revenue, for of that we
have hail too mud, we yet have enough, and we
ought to need and require oven less; but these
persons now demand a tariff of protection for the
waka of protection—a thing always protested
ngainst by the mortars of free trade, and rarely
eountenanced oven by their opponents. I, Mr.
Editor,' am in favor of free trade, and I propose to
make a few notes, and to put a few queries upon
the resPoctive themes of free trade and a tariff.
I shall, of course, express my own opinion on these
euhjeote, without regard to whether it accords or
not with yours; but, thanks to your liberality, Tile
PREFISi isnot only open to ono, but to both aides of
these qttestions, and if I ho wrong in any position
I Who, I shall be glad to be corrected :
I Shall begin, then, with a note upon the origin
of the Hord " tariff." In Traub on Words, page
" Nor Is the true deri'ratiotsr•af' tariff' •
unwortlev to be traced: we all know what it weans,
namely, a tired scale of duties, levied upon lin.
ports. If you turn to a map of Spain, you will
take note, at Its southern point, and running out
into the Straits of Gibraltar, of a promontory,
which, from its position, is admirably adapted for
commanding the onto moo of the Mediterranean
Sea, and watching the entrance and exit of all
ships. A fortress stands upon this promontory,
called now, we it !as also called In the times of the
Moorish domination in Spain—. Tnittr.t. — The
name, indeed, is of Moorish origin. It was the
custom of the Moors to watch from this point all
the merchant ehips going into, or coming out of,
the Midland Sea, and issuing from this siron
hold to levy duties according to fixed $O3lO on all
merchandise passing in and out of the straits; and
this was called, from the pined where it woe levied,
Tarifa' or' tariff,' and in this way we have acquir
ed the word," and the thing.
Now mark the origin of this thing. Here were
industrious and peaceful merchants trading to and
from the different countries of the earth, anti in
terchanging their respective products It war for
the advantage of the producers and consumers that
this trade on the high seas should be free, nod
that their products should be untaxed But
their ships snore obliged to/ pass this fiertre,s,
' Tartfit,' whence these Moorish sea-robbe t e
forth, and, with levelled cannon, cried snip! The
obit) hove to, and the Moorish otheer of customs
stopped chatted to levy the fixed duty. /lon. mod,
he took wo aro not informed, but that he did tale,
and for the purposes of his see/wits, is clear ; and
jest what he took, the merchant, the producer,
anti, finally, the consumer, fort. It is true, that
this import ditty or lax wade tho remainder of
the goods dearer—that these imported goods rose in
price, because out of them the owner had to make
sip his loss. The consumers, icier as well as rich,
had to pay that much more for them, in conga
gum of which fewer of them were imported
—the domestic producors of the like goods hail
less . competition to encounter. They etWe
quontly raised their prices, all which the consumers
had to pity. In Glow times, the owners of these
ships and goods called that net of the Moorish
custom office roltrry ; the people who imported
them had not then discovered that this tariff pre.
lofted their own industry. They too were a bile
pie peoplo, and they said that by such it tai Uf
they lost just what the Moors gained ; and even
the littler did not imagine that this not of theirs
was a protection to the industry, end downrightly
profitable to the purchasers of the plunder they
had left ; they were a very intelligent hotly of
men ; they know well that they were thereby
taxing—or, if you choose, tarilling—am many for
the benefit of the few—themselves. With them
might was right. Unlike the modern Willer,
they scorned to contend that taxation was no tyran
ny. So much far the origin of the tariff ;we shall
next consider whether the thing has not over since
retained the same signification.
I have said that the tariff originally signified
this, vie : the forcible taking of a part of
the owner's goals, inconsideration or the remain
' der being allowed to pass free; and I say that
that it yet its meaning. I said, too, that when
the Moors of the Oastio " Tarifia" took a part of
the ship-owners' goods, they thereby injured
the Importers and consumers of the remainder;
and I new say that when, by way of tariff or duty,
our custom-house officers take from the ship-owner
a part of hie cargo, they too, and to that extent,
injure the importer and consumer. in elket the
cages are exactly alike. Observe, I speak of the
affect of the two operations ; I do not say or
mean that the intention of our eustoni-houso officers
or their principal, the Govornutent, is like that
of the Moors. I huvo nothing to say about the
motive or Intention of any elan, or class of men,
be they in favor of it tariff or otherwise, I
say that the thine itself is wrong—its meet
is injurious, no matter with how good or patriotic
an intent it may be done. Some wee, and I regret
to have to include among them the chief advocates
of a tariff, cannot discuss the merits of free trade
without turning aside to impugn the 'motives of its
friends. Witness their daily assaults on Mr. Dallas
and Mr. Walker. If we assort that the act of 1816,
reducing duties, was beneficial, their replies are :
What de you think of the Kano letter? Wes not
Mr. Walker bribed by British gold Was ho not
poor, and is he not now rich ? And both of them
should be hung! True, gentlemen, you did burn
them both In effigy; but I have never yet known
that thelanguage of a fishwoman, or the logic of the
fagot, has persuaded or convinced the judgment of
any man whose judgment was worth changing.
Lot the merits of every proposition, and not the
motives of its proposers, be the sole subject of con
troversy.
But, to return. When a merchant of Philadel
phia exports the products of our workmen, ho does
so in order that ho may bring back or import in
exchange or in return for them, other products of
greater wave; and of course he, and consequently
this olty and the whole country, are bononted just
in the proportion that what he gets and Imports is
greater than what he exported and gave.
Now, with this return oargo ho is stopped at his
home port, not,' it is true, by a Moorish, but by a
United States officer, who demands and takes from
him a certain portiOn, or what is the same thing,
the value of a certain portion of his property; and
for what? Why, as tho prlee or consideration for
permitting the remainder to pass free. I say, then,
that a part of his property , is thus compulsorily
taken from him, just as effectually as formerly by
the Moors of Tarifa. Oh! but, say you, it is taken'
lawfully and for the support of Government. I
reply, that I am not now considering the motive
from Which it was taken, or the purpose to which it
has or will bo applied Tbo merchant or owner
has lost it, and that is all at present I wish to
show. BO fay, then, our tariff and that of the
Moorish sea robber, aro identical. Now, when the
owner has brought in the remainder of his goods, it
is ovidont that either he or those to whom he Bolls it
must boar the lass of what has been thus taken, or
else that it must be borne between them ; In either
Cods, and up to that point, the importer or con
sumer, or both, are losers and are injured to the
amount of the duty, tax, or tariff, thus imposed
upon them. And that was just what happened to
the importers and consumers in the ease where a
part.of their goods was taken from them i or tarifa,
by the Moors. So that it is true, then, that in its
effect upon the owner and consumer, their tariff and
our tariff are identical ; and if the levy of a tariff
on our imports has the eject of protecting the in
'dustry of those among whom they are Imported and
who consent° them, then the Moors' robbery must
have had the same effeots ; they must thereby have
been the protectors of home industry, and thus havp
exemplified the saying, i‘ that. IS no robbery." The
supposed difference we shall examine hereafter.
It is ineleted that to levy a tariff—that is, for
the Government 'teetake from the importer a cur
tain part of hie' property as the conSidoration of
permitting the . romaindor to be brought into the
enuntry—io in dna to increase the wealth of the
country ! Thus, if Mr. Copo should bring to our
port a cargo worth, say $lOO,OOO, and the Govern
ment should tako from him 50 per cent. of those
goods, or $.10,000, by way of an import duty or tariff
ho will have but $50,000 left. anti he oats add that
amount only to the wealth of this city; and yet,
the friends of a tariff contend in effect that Mr.
Cope and, the people of this city will possess more
wealth by having this remaining $50,000 than
they would have had if the Government bad not
taken from them the other $50,000, but let them
import it all untaxed and free! Now, that is cer
tainly a curious problem; it may be stated thus:
What tax or tariff upon, or percentage taken flaunts
given quantity, will yet and consequently increase
the quauti ty jrom which, it has teen taken? Oh, but
say they, wo do not contend that the quantity of
goods imported is Increased by the duty levied
upon their importation; on the contrary, we admit
that it is thereby d, creased. Very well, gentle
men, we shall soon see bow that affects the commu
nity. In tho first place, then, how were these im
ported goods obtained? Mr. Cope got them for
nothing. or else he paid for them. If he got them
for nothing, surely he gained by that, and how win
the people to whom goods aro given for nothing
ever suffer by the gift? Is any individual injured
by obtaining for nothing what he needs? And if
DO ono is so injured, how ran a community, which is
composed of such individuals, bo injured? There
is a very easy way to test thLs : lot any person inform
you, "Nfr: Editor, in whist instance he, or any other
given portion, has been injured, that is to say made
poorer, by having received goods for nothing; when
he does so I will support a tariff to keep him, and
others like him, from obtaining them so cheap. But
suppose, which of Numb' the foot, that dlr. Cope
paid for the goods he imported : with what, lot me
ask, did he pay for them ? Ile must have paid or
given for them tho products of American labor:
float is to say, ho exported the products of the
labor of Americans, of home industry, and
brought back and imported in exchange for them,
the $lOO,OOO worth of goods I have spoken of.
Now, are not those 0100.000 of goods the product s
of American labor, of home industry 1 If a car
penter works at, and puts in a building, his labor
for ono week, ho can point to what he has actually
dono, and say Mar Is the product of my labor
and when his employer gives him his wook' a wages,
slay nine dollars in gold, can not he also point
to the gold and truly say, that is the product
of my American labor—of my /soma industry? Is
it tho lase so because the gold may be foreign—
Spanish or English? Certainly not. Is he not en
titled
to the whole of tho $9? Should the Govern.
went put a duty or tariff on his $9 of gold, and
thus take off 10 or 20 per cent , because the gold
had been imported or we, foreign? Verily , no .
I And if he iureets this $9 of foreign and im„unelad
gold in any other foreign and imported article, be
it cloth for himself or silk for his wife, is not that
article also the product of his American—his home
industry ? And if the Government takes from that
1U or 20 or 50 per cont., by way of a duty or sari fj
does it not thereby tako that amount from Irim and
hiswifo antifamily? And is not that a duty or tax
levied upon and taken from American labor and
home industry
Change the case, and let sue show it in another
light. Suppose the carpenter still to have his $9 in
gold, and that cloth enough to woke Lima coat wore
at this port and were imported free of duty for that
sum ; now under this free trade, and in the absence
deny duty or tariff, he would obtain this cloth for
his coat at nine dollars, or for ono week's work ;
that coat is surely the product of his labor!
but, says the friend of a tariff, the Government
should have put a tax or Orilla one hundred
per cent on that cloth defuse they allowed
it to ho imported, in order to protect American or
home industry. Very well, lot that be done, and
we shall son how it will operate When that duty
or tariff of one hundred per cent. has been laidon
it, the cloth can thou 100 brought into this port and
bo sold rot eighteen dollars. Our friend, tho Ameri
can carpenter, walks down to the importer with
his nine dollars in gold and asks him for
tho cloth for big coat. Al,, my worthy Ameri
can mechanic, I could hare cold that to
you for nine dollars when the Gado was free, and
before I was.compelled to pay this duty or tari ff
of MO per cent. on the cloth, but 7101 ,, and under
this tari ff just put on to protect American laborers
and home industry, you must return and work
another week, and thus give tho product of your
labor for two weeks, in order to obtain tbo coat,
which, under freo trade, and without any tariff, you
might Lave obtained for only are week's labor
Of course, Goo carpenter feels the protection,
though be divot not get the coat! Oh, but insist
our tariff friends, the Government iv thus main
tained, and an American instead of an English
cloth-maker will ho protected. Protected ropiest
what Why, from the competition of the fo
reigner. How did he compete with the Ame
rican 0011r-rood:or Why, he sold his cloth
to tho carpenter for $9, while the American
•
cloth-maker could not make or sell it under $lB,
and so this will protect the hitter, because the
English cloth at $9 will thus be kept out of the
market, end the American carpenter num buy at
$lO from tho American cloth-maker! In other
words, the carpenter is taxed, or one-half of his
labor and of the product of his industry is taken
by the Government, to protect his neighbor, the
cloth-maker! But why does he submit uncom
phsiningly to this tax f Because it is not taken
directly from him, and he trios to believe that he
dots not specially feel it because he does not
actually see it. If he will strip it of its high
soundiug nowt of protection, ho may at once see
too well as feel it. Thus, suppose that, instead
, of the duty or tariff of 100 per cont. being put
on the cloth before it is imported. as ut
',resold, the Government were to admit it
duty free, end then call or require the ear
, pentor to posy them the tariff or duty of one hun
dred per cent. —that is to say, to give them nine
dollars in gold, or which is the same thing, to give
them the wages of his labor for ono wcok, for the
purpose not of supporting tho Government only,
for that would bo but a mere !retinue tariff or
duty, but to protect tho cloth-violet—would ho do
it! Would ho submit to pay that duty or tariff
Assuredly cot! Ito would say to the Government,
1 will boar my share of the publio expenses—l will
contribute to the revenue you need, but I wilt not
submit to bo taxed to support the business of other
tradesmen Millions for defined, but not a cent
for tribute!

The San Francisco News Letter, noticing the
departure of Col. Fremont, says: "Col. Fremont
leaves our State by the present outgoing mail
steamer, the Golden Gate, an route for the East

ceeding to Europe to perfect arrangements by
which the construction of the extensive canal for
mining and irrigating purposes can more fully
exhibit the incalculable richness of the :Marino

Our seeounts from the mining districts are even
more than usually favorable. The streams are
nearly all flamed, and the diggers bard at work In

to the general reader
and can form an unprejudiced opinion cn the sub
ject. It must be confessed that the news of finan
cial distress in New York does not excite any very
unusual degree of surprise in this conunanity. The
fact is, we have long expected it, and the only
question for us to discuss is, as to whether we have
by this mail received the worst of the news, or if
the recent financial troubles are to be regarded as
simply the prelude to that greater, mere general

But en this branch of the subject we do not propose

precept, we will, at this time, confine ourselves ex

panic in New York is ascribed to expansion, gem:-
