to the 'l'ariflii of 1842 and 1840:

readers to the fact, that the Whig mem

The, Tariff and the Farmer.
Messrs, Moore 6- Thompson :—-The
Feds are making too many miarepresoata
trons as to the New Tariff, to be passed
over silently. One of them is, that the
Farmer in protected on the article of Wool,
(the raw material of the manufacturer.) as
high. or higher. than I the manufacturer is
on the manufactured article. Let us ex
amine the fact: : . l
I weighed a pieco of Broad, Cloth that
sells in our town for $6 50 per yard, and
found it to weigh not quite one pound to
the yard. This clolh must have cost In
Europe. 482 50. on which is charged by
the New Tariff, a duty of 30 per cent, ma
king 75 cents per yard for the manufaclur
ed article. On the other hand. Wool coats
in Europe from 8 to 28 cents per pound,
according to quality, making, with e duty
of 30 pct cent. 2} and 73 cents per pound.
‘ Now. the practical eflect. and plain facts
of the case, me these :--the W'aolen man
ufacturer is protected to the amount of 75
cents per pound, while the Farmer—the
W'ool-grower——is protected at the very
most. but U cents por'pound !
And this under the Polk Tarifl'that is to
ruin the country, and prolect the Farmer
at the cxpeme of the manufacturer! I
I have compared the statement of your
correspondent in your paper of the Bth,
with “Bicknell'a Rofiorter." and find it
sustains him in his statement, that the New
'l‘nrifl' aiTords a higher protection on, For
eign Hammered Iran, (the only article
that intetfcros ‘with our Charcoal Iron.

Dcducl duly under mnfl'ol 1812
l Now. under the anifl'ol’ '42 there was
a specific duty of 817 per ton on this kind
of Iron; while under the New Tanfl' the
duty will ba 30 per cent. on the cost at
home. to which is still to be added the cost
of freight, commissions. &c.. which will
afford a protection of 6 or $7 per ton more
than the act of ’42. as stated by your cor
respondent.
Another item on which they make grea
misrepresentations is our ability to com
pete with the North of Europe in supply
ing the British with grain and other Farm-
ing produce. They know. if they have as
much information as they pretend to, that
the average yield in the North of Europe
is from 6 to 7 bushels of wheat for every
250 nm. whilst in the United States it is
nearer from ‘25 to 30; and that the same
disproportion exists‘ue to pork. beef, bul
ter. tnllow, lard. cheese, &c.. &c,, whilst
they cnnnotgrow Indian Corn nt all—end
that the latter article is likely to become
one of the great staples which is to supply
the poor of Europe with bread. I’VBut they
wish to confine the Farmer to a home mur
ket—-to prevent him taking his produce a—
broad ar.d getting a fair price for it—end to
efl'ect this, they want the tnrifl'eo high that
our strips will have to return home empty.
as hundreds have done under the eflect of
the tarit} of ”IQ—thus compelling the fur
mer to pay double freight.
3 Let the Farming, the Mechanical and
the Laboring classes carefully and dispari
aionately examine the question. and weigh
the merittl of the two Tariffs, and my word
for it, they wrll find that while the Tam?
of 1816 afl'orda a fair, just and reasonable
protection to the manufacturer, it also gives
a much more reasonable share of protec
tion to the great and growing agricultural
interests. than that afforded by the Tarill
