V A WORD TO VAttlf SIIS.
The farmer and the agriculturist who mannfac-
6 tore nothing, but who pay the increased price
v Wbloh the tariff Imposes upon every agricultural
y Implement, upon all he wear and upon .11 he uses
' 4 ana own, except the lncre-o of m dooks and
S herd and such thlngi u hi husbandry producia
y , Horn the oU, lituvlted to aid In maintaining the
i. preent situation, and he la told that abigh duty on
ip' Imported wool la necessary for the benefit or those
U, who have sheep to ahear. In order mat the price
A of their wool may be Increaaed. They
B ofcoarae are not reminded that the larmer who
ina no ibeep Is by thla scheme obliged, in hi pur
chase of clothing and woollen goods, to pay a
tribute to his fMlow farmer, a well to tho
manufacturer anuTnercha t; nor 1 any mention
made of the fot that the ineep-owner tnemnelves,
and their households, mual wear clothing and uao
other artlclea maunlactnred from the wool they Bell
at tariff i rices, ant thu as consumers must return
their ihare of thu locreaaeu price to tue tradesman.
I think It may be fairly aaaumed that a large pro.
portion ot the sheep owned by the larmera through
out the country are found lu email flooka number
ing from twenty-Are to fifty. The duty on tho
grade of Imported wool whlcu these aheep yield, la
10 ctnu each pound if of the value of so centa or
leas, mil cent II of the value of more than 80
cent. If the liberal estimate of alx pound bo
allowed for each fleece, the duty thereon would
be co or 71 centa, and till may be taken
at the ntmoat enhancement ot It price to
the farmer by reason of this duty.
Eighteen dollar would thus represent the In
creaaed pace ot the wool from tweoty.QVe sheep,
and $54 that from the wool of fifty sheep; and ui
.present value thla addition would amount to
about one-third of lis price. It upon Its sale tho
tanner receives thla or a less tariff root, the wool
leaves his nana charged with precisely mat eum,
rwhluh In all Ita changes will adhere to It, until It
treaohea the consumer. When manufactured Into
(cloth and other good and material for use, lu cost
,la not only Increased to the extent of the firmer'
tariff profit, bnt afar her sum has been added for the
benebt ot the manufacturer uuder the operation
of other tariff law. In the mean time the day ar
rives when the farmer nni" It ntctsiary to pur
chase woolen good and material to clothe himself
,and family for the winter. Whrn he faces tho
tradesman for that purpoae he dlacover thut he la
obliged not only to return, In the way of Increased
ii- . iprloes, hla tariff profit on the wool be sol i, hikI
P, Vbloh then perhaps lie before him In manufac
& 1 tared form, but that he must add a considerable
h- h tarn thereto to meet a further Increase In cost

fr scheme. Which, when i e aold his wool aeemeii so
u iprofttable, an Increase in price more than eumclent

sented for an easy reduotlon ot taxation.
RIDUOB CUSTOMS DUT1IS.
The considerations which have been presented
touching our tariff laws are intended only to en
force an earnest recommendation that tho surplus
revenueaof the Ooverntnent be prevented by tho
reduction of our custom duties, and, at the same
time, to emphasize a auggeatlon tnat In accomplish
ing thla purpoae we may dlachargo a double duty
to our peoiile by iirauting to ihetn a measure of re.
lief from tariff taxation In quattera where It la
moat needed and from sources where It oan bo
most fairly and Justly accorded.
Nor can the presentation made of such con
sideratlons be, with any degree of fairness, re
garded aa evidence of unfrlmdllneas toward our
manufacturing Intercata, or of any lack ot appre
ciation ot their value and Importance.
Theae lutereata constitute a leading and most
substantial element of our national areatneaa and
furulah the proud proof ot our country's progress.
Hut If lu the emergency that presses upon u our
manufacturer are asked to surrender something
for the public good and to avert disaster, their
patriotism, a well aa a grateful recognition of
advantages already afforded, should lead
them to willing co-operation. No demand is
made that they shall forego all the
benefits of governmental regard; but titer cannot
fall to be admonished of their duty, as well as their
enlightened selt-tuterest and safety, when they are
romlndedof tho fact that financial panlo and col
lauae. tu which the present condition tends, afford
no greater shelter or pro eotion to our manufac
tures than tu our other Import ml enterprises.
Opportunity for safe.caiuful aud deliberate reform
la now offered; and none of ua should be unmind
ful of a time w hen an abused and Irritated people,
heedless ot those who have reflated ilmely and
reusouabl relief, may Insist upon u radical and
sweeping rectification of their wrongs.
A QHIAT TASK FOB CONQKK88.
The difficulty attending a wise and fair revision
of our tariff laws la not underestimated. It will
lequlreon tho part of tho t'ouges iireat labor and
care, and especially a broad aud national contem
plation of the aaliject, and a patriotic disregard of
such local nil 1 seiflsh claims aa are unresaonublo
aud reckleaa of the welfare ot the entire country.
under our present lawa more than four thousand
articles are subject to duty. Many of theae do not
in any way conipste with our own manufactures
and many arc hardly north attention aa aunjects
of revenue. A considerable reduction can be
made lu the aggregate by adding them to the free
Hat. Tho taxation of luxuries preaenta no fcaturo
of haul-hip, but the necessaries of life used aud
consumed by all tho people, the duty upon which
adds to the cost ol lu lug lu e cry home, should be
greatly cheapened.
The radical reduction of the duties lmpoaod upon
raw material used In manufactures, or It free im
portation, la of course an Important fictor In anv
effort to reduoe the price ot ttese necessaries; It
would not only relieve them from the Increaaed
coat caused bj the t irlff on such material, but the
manufactured product bring tuua cheapened, that
part of the tariff now l.lil upon uon product, a a
compensation tonurmanuiactur r for tne preient
I rice of raw material, could be aocotdlngly modi
fied. Such reduction, or free Importation,
would aerve beaid to largely reduo- tho revenue.
It Is not appan m how such a chanue can have auy
injurious effect upon our manufacturers. On tho
contrary, It would appear to give th m a betu-r
chance in foreign market with the manufacturer
ol other countries, who cheapen their warea by
tree material, i hue our pepie might have the
opportunity of extendln their aae beyond the
limit of home consumption saving them from the
depression, lnterrup Ion In buetneas, and loss
caued by a glutted domestlo market, and afford
ing their employee more certain and atcady labor,
with Its result ng quiet and oontentmauu
Tne question thu Imperatively presented for
olution should bo approached In a spirit higher
than partisanship and coualderel In the light of
that regard tor patriotic duty which ahould char
acterize the action of tho.e Intrutled with the Weal
ol a confiding people. Hut the obligation to de
clared party policy and principle la not wantlna to
nrge prompt and effective action. Both of lb
great p iiitical partlrt now represented in the Gov
ernment have, by repeated and auiborltxtlve dec
larations, eoudemnod t e condition of our lawa
which p rralt the collection from the peoule of un
necessary revenue, and have, I the moat solemn
manner, promised Its correction; and neither aa
cltnens or partiaana are our countrymen in a mood
tc condone the deliberate violation of these
pledges.
A CONDITION, X.OT A T11E0BT.
Our progress towards a wise conclusion will not
be Improved by dwelllngupos the theories of pro
teotl in and free trade. This savors too much of
bandying epithets, it 1 a condition which con
