TARIFF ILIODIFICATION DEFEATED
In the 11. S. House of Representatives, Mr.
Stevens made an attempt on Tuesday, to -a
mend the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill to increase the duties on certain imported
articles, and that after the 16th of April nest,
:the duties shall be levied agreeably to the av
erage value which similar articles bore in the
principal cities on the seaboard, on the first of
December 1846, when the aet'of '46 went into
effect. The amendment was decided to be out
of order by the Speaker and sustained by- a
small inajorify . of. Members. Mr. 'Grinnell, of
Mess. proposed the 'home valuation, and lip
praisoment at large. This was esti decided
out of order.
•
• Mr. Grinnell subsequently offered-a -further
modification or the present Tariff, and this,
too, wai decided 'out of order.

The Legislature of Illinois has just estab

in that State, similar to that for 13 MILO —years
past in operation in New York and proposed
for'adoption in this State.
In INDIANA, the •cons`titutional convention
has dirooted the establishment of a similar
Banking system. This passed by 26 majority,
and on an atteinpt to - reconsider, was sustain
ed by a much larger majority.
Considering that the Indiana Convention
was Locofoco by almost two to ono, and the
Illinois Legislature by three to ono, this is a
pretty strong endorsement of what the Limo-,
Loco papers call a "Whig scheme."
parltis rare to find in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, opposed milt is to the idea that
the only road to freedom of trade lies through
perfect Protection,. 'any thing on the Tariff
question that accords with our, views, but in
a lato rimubor of that poper we find the fOI
- sentences; that we feel, dispbsed to re
commend to a perursal of our anti -protection
'friends, as coming rom a free-trade source.
"The poorest:policy ofia State is to planther
supremacy on the production of a. particular

bttempt constantly liable to physical changes,
ut it also provokes opposition and an energet

evade or crush the monopoly. That State will

From the remarks of the Rev. It. S. Foster,

"The amount of taxation in this State, in
consequence of pauperism and crime, which
resulted from intetaperance, was at lOWA, $2,-
600,000 ; and thnionotint for the entire Union;
calculating by the proper ratio, was over sex-'
teen millions; iyhbah sum is inorothan the cost
of all - the chtirches 'and school, houses in the

6000 rum.shops, and putting the receipts, of

When the table is arranged, it is estimated,
that the visitor must walk twenty eight miles,
in order to inspect all the articles on exhi

made'almost entirely of glass, so that AMR

Provision to feed and protect the mechanics,

of teachers has taught us that in no-other way
can we be a prosperous and happy people.
Ours is a country of all climates and produces
everything we actually need; -give us ourown
market and experience has proved the very
great advantage all classes have received by it.
But no, wo must favor the mammoth mouopo
liea of Great Britain, let them ware house
their goods aud.pay the duty when at the low
est price. They have capital, they can hold
ap.d'sell when they please. Not so with our
pdor enterprising spirits. When they have
their mills in operation and the stuff made,
they must sell. Hero comes
.a British agent
with his goods and sells at a loss to break our
citizens up to feed nabobs. Bonham says, put
a good tax on , the laborers dish -of tea and
"coffee, we don't raise them in this country,
and that will raise revenue to support the gev
ernment. That means tariff ; for revenue. He
also said that the poor man pays a tax onhis
shirt becalm° there is'a duty,.on it. :Now I do I
know when'there was 9 cents - a yardspecifiel
duty on muslin, I bought my Shirts at 9 cents',
a yard, and beforethe duty was put on the
artiolo,-and before we commenced .manufacta-
ring, a much worse artichtwaS sold for 25 eta.
per yard. :A chopping axe cost $2. A duty
brought them down Tho article of cut
nails was 16 .oeets per pounds--4 cents duty
brought them down to Eti cents per pound, and
the 'iron dug outof our Mania and the coal of
our, own forests made them. ' I have lived to
experience' all these .changes; . and hundreds
more by the proteetien of,,'our own artists and
the industry of our country with our Manufac
tories. And depend upon the British nabobs,
and You will soon see every article dee. They
will just sell us enough to. keep up their pri
ces to a geed profit. They are leagued so that
ono will .not compete with another: Isto; so
'with our own young factories. They must sell,
BO that nothing can or will regulate our own
market but competition among ourselves. My
ideas may arise from .experiencO of the past,
