Vi :i AX IS A TAR!FF J v Mr. M JI. Feeble lfx rrn<-* Form, undertakes to < xplain to :i correspondent of tha^ paper, who is a hi^jh ta;i J man, what the tariff tax is. Ir is about as plait) and ^ easily* understood as any c-xplunuti>n Ave f-* have seen ?i* be say?, "any ten year old j boy of good sense ought to be able to un-. derstar.d ir." He says: "What is a taiill? It is a Uix lexiedbr! the luw-makinsf department o! a govern-1 in -nt on these persons who buy mid com- j sume the eiticks upon which the tariff is j laid iu oilier to collect revenue for it? ovt-n ; ipport. Thus: Congress is our law-ma k-1 power, a' d the tariff put u^pn. nnmi^ tusd articles by jiTd-of < on grots is the I of the revenue p<;:d into the Unite I i States treasury by the consumers of those! urticles for the support of ihe Federal Government. If the tariff was culled by Ps trur name, as it should bo. it won't! not remain on ourst.iuto books i any longer than the people of t he j united bia'es could elect ji tu s Congros'. Hut it is a cunningly devised scheme of art- j ful politicians to deceive the people into the payment of revenue under false pre. tense. .And this cons itu'es o :o of the j iort ??rions r' isctiors to the whole scheme o! ta' iff legislation. it is a fmud on Tiie tax-paver. It eolkcU revenue oil of him while pretending to do s miething else. It assumes to encourage one part of our citizens iu a necessary and ' laudable Indus'ry. while it tsxca nil the balance of our citizens to do il. it "robsj l'eter to pay i':tu!:" ami if I'eer kicks, ii j comes forward with the cheek ofiheserpe it in Kden. and tills its mouth with lying} words, and deceive good-m-'Htiing men, I like your eoircspoii.tcul. with n.e taise p:e-! to soti jit.it encourn~es home indu-try by {noted ing American manufactures. arid so milds v.p the Countlit large, wh- ti. in i fat. it pulls down ^ue many for the benefit of the few. 1 hus it happens, our common Government, that should treat all alike. Incomes u partner with the few to rob the m iny. Nor need 1 argue this feature o; t jo tariff at any length, for it is soif evident wii :is face. The tariff being on the consumers j of protected f oods^Wrour corre'pondeitt i purchases ? lUU v. proiectod goods for his family, hepn;w(^j-r-for i' iis our tariff ; is h tittle over forty-seven per cent on an average, if it is foreign-made goods he pay.- $47<)< of tariff tax into the United] .States Treasury for ?!0\> worth of goods;! but if it is Americau-uij.dii goods lie pays: .00 into the pocket of the manufacturer j jis protection, and the government go's no j lev. tine, although he pays the $147 for the SlOO worth of goods thes rue as if it was of foreign manufacture.
