market, New Orkans, is taken, from tis entirely,
'ad Oran to thajoreign importer, who htitiß in

saving the height entirely.
i regret,'Mr. Chairman, that I have net with
in my rroch sufficient data from which to form a
correct estimate of this great interest, which
embraces within its range thousands of our citi-
Llens, as well as those who are immediately en
' gaged in mining and transportatiou; {l., the Own
ers of the coallands, the farmer, the mechanic,
and manufacturer. who supply them . k:ith the
necessaries of life, and the uneans of mart ing
on their business.
The allegation Inns often been mode that a
tariff is Only calculated to benefit the manulae
tures, and that the, farmers of the country bare
no interest whatever in it. Let it 4 examine tints
question for a few moments.
The fernier is interested. as all others are. inn
buying as cheaply and selling dearly a+ he
can. If he could fad in ready market. Int as
gOOll . prices. and each paymnt
em for nll his ag
ricultural, products, indepsadetnay of the manu
facturing establishmates of the rountry no they
afford, there might be s omething_iti_the asser
tion. In other words, if the farmer had nothing,
to sell, bat always paid cash for all his pur
chases, it would be bast for Idol to buy iu the
cheapest cash market. But. if Inc: Into no market
for his wheat, corn, oats, hay, tobacco, hemp,
horses, cattle, hogs, sa, where is the money
come from to entable him to buy in thin "cheap
market V Under such circumstances, it matters
but little whether the market he cheap or dear.
Geaeral Jackson once said, if you will take six
hundred thousand 1111 , 11, women, and children,
from agriculture, and put them into manufac
tures. you will create a better home market for
the farmer than is furnished by all tine world
beside. Sound philosophy, as well as experi
ence and obserrotion, all teach its that the high
est degree of prosperity and happiness will hr
found wherever labor is so equally divided and
mingled together, that the producer awl Con
sumer mutually furnish and supply a market for
each ether. with the least expense for tramp,-
Lotion. The ready exchange of the products
of labor and capital combhusl, is the great
desideratum, tending to the rapid development
of the resources of the country and its greatest
degree of prosperity. BM time will not permit
me to dwell on this interesting topic.
Let us, Mr. Chairman, for a moment. survey
the effect of a single furnace on the markets of
the neighborhood where it is located.
The average number of men employed at a -
charcoal furnace 'making 1,000 tons of pig iron:
a year,. is not less than seventy: making a pupa;'
'nation immediately dependent of not-less than .
350. The amount of grain used will not vary'..l
much from 2,600 bushels of wheat, 3,000 bushels' ,
of corn, 3,0110 bushels of oats, .1,000 bushels Of
rye, 80 tons Of hay, and 3,000 bundles of straw-T
-while the amount of merchandise sold will he
near $B,OOO. And besides all this, the farmer
finds a ready market for a vast amount of bacon.
veal, potatoes, butter, he., a part of which will
-not bear transportation to a foreign market.: ,, -
From the single instance of one furnace, employ
ing only seventy hands, furnishing such an ex
tensive market, to the farmer, some idea may be
formed of the extent of the demand created by
all the iron works in the country, and the incal
culable benefits arising to the farmer from the
manufacture of this article at home. And what
must be thought of that policy which would de
stroy this home market. and expose the farmer
to all the changes and fluctuations of foreign
trade? After all that can be done to increase
the demand at home, we shall abllays have a sur
plus of agricultural products sufficient to supply
the foreign demand..
But, sir, suppose we extend our sphere of in
quiry beyond the limits of Pennsylvania,
see how the prostration of the iron works
throughout the United States would affect the
farming interests of the country.
It is estimated at not lees than forty millions
of dollars are paid out annually to the public.
through the operation of all the iron works inn
the United States, when the business is prosper
ous. With what truth, then, can it be said• that
protection is a tax upon the many, for the bene
fit of the few° It is true that'll on. at the pres
ent time,. is furnished at_ low price, by limns
Britain; but let the home manufacture he de

y.. k .
a last tea m ice, contenting herself with a Plank
Road to Waslongton ' We nay, he should be
careful of Ina fart., for rorreet data show that
he Is an much in error in these as in his sir-line
mdroad, From Wheeling to Greensburgh, Mr.
Latrobe gave it an his opinion, a road could
not lie built short of ninety miles, and other com
petent Engoneers have expressml the same opin
ion. Mr. IFlinight makes it somewhat less In
eh estimate made after a superficial exam/nation
Is it would be absolutely necessary to follow the
cnurse of the streams to a greater or le. extent,
it WI/Uhl not he unfair to estimate it at one hun
dred tint, lint say it is ninety miles, it would
be only Sternly fire miles shorter than to fellow
the course of the liver through to this city—ii
slight difference of thirty unties id favor of Pitts
burgh over the Journal's estimate. And when,
alp,,. it Il considered that the route by the river
is almost; a deed le-el, and can be run at high
-penis, While the Hempfield route has to cross
the °hit> river, and then encounter grades of
eighty feet to the mile, and curvatures of nix
hundred feet radius, and five tunnels to boot,
ire may safely set it down that the river route
eon be run in less time than the Hempfield, and
is therefore really the shortest and best. Then,
or to the expense, the route can be Constructed
at a coat of $1,000,000, while the Hempfield
road will cost $3,000,006 Who does not know
that a cheap road can work cheap, and thus defy
competition.
o Furtlermore. all those arguments which are
foundeltlioti the assumption that the Ilempteld
f
road el hid take all tho trade of the west, or any
large .rioportion of it, are more twaddle. The
Ohio d Pennsylvania Railroad will command
all th ;trade ot the region through which it
and all north and north west of it, inclu
vast Lake country. It will also success-
