The member? of the Urst Ton ius were uoarly all farmers thciiioelvos or Tipresented farming constlluenclps. Agrli'iil ,t ire was practically tho ot.lv Industry of the reoplo, and they saw their produce rot on their iauds ynar aftttr year f. r want of n market for ll. To croute a markot for this produce was tho Irlme object of the early legislators. There wa uotarobbnr baron aniotiR them. Their policy and exclavs tor revouuo .was a farmer's policy pure and slmplo. l.utnr only iir"s!ti-v to nv tbolr advocacy of Protection on their oellnf Hint I: beucQtted the farmer most of all. We eliall (uote from two only, Jacks .u and Calhoun, fcoth Democrats. Hatd the former, lu advocacj HI the Tariff of 1W4: "1 will oak what. Is the real situation of the agriculturist? Whe has tho American faraier markot for hit surplus produce? T ike from agriculture In tho United Status COo.ooO men. Women and children, and you will at once give a tnarkel f..r more brcadstuils than ail turopo fiow tiirnlehea us." He ondontiy understood how Protection hon- filed the armor. Tho certain results of l'ru tcolon, Calhoun said, would be : "The farmer will find a rcaly market for his urplus produce, and, what Is almost of equal cnntte.iueuco, a certulu and cheap supply of all Lis wants." 11 was no loss euro that Protection benefited the farmer, becaiiKe he, like Jackson, had expo rlunced the miseries of a lack ot domestic mar lets tor farm produce. Notwithstanding the teachings of all the great talesmen of early times, our country has on Several occasions experlinoutnd with low tariff. in every Instance tho effects on agriculture Wuro most dlnastrous. Ponator Ewlug, of Ohio, peaking ot tho low tariff period lmuiediutely preceding the Tariff of 1H24, said: "Jn short, every portion of the world was Searched by our Intelligent merchants, anil all Combined did not turnltb a Uiatkel ailequato to aur surplus productions. "Every fat nior lu Ohio lonf knew and foit tho pressure consequent on this stale of things. Year after year their stacks of wheat stood un- IhrAnheil. Hcurcttlv worth thA mnnliftl labor of BsnAratlnff tliA trraln from Lha straw. So low as It reduced in comparison with manufac tured r.rllcles that I have known forty bushcle I wheat given lor a pair oi boots. Colton'B "Life of Henry Clay" thus describes the wretched condition ot agriculture under another cxporlmont with low tariff, before the Vrotectlvo act ot 181i cam to the tanner's fescue: "Iu some part of Pennsylvania the people were obliged to divide bank notos Into halves. Quarters, eights, and so on, and agree from cocouslly to use then as money. In Ohio, with all her abundance, U was hard to got money to pay taxes. The shenlT of Sluslilnguru County, as stated by the Uuerusoy Tmri In tho summer cf M1, sold at auction one four-horse wagon at Vi.Ul; teu bogs at d'i con Is each: two horses (said to he worth $M to $73 each) at t- each; two cows at$l each; a barrel ofsugaratfl.60. and a tore of goods at that rate. In C'oruty, Mo., as stated by the llnunlbul Jmrnul, the Ihorl.T sold three horses at SI . .r0 each ; one large OX at 12,'i cuius; flvo cows, two steers and one calf, tho lot at $1.25; twenty sheop at 13s cents each; twenty four bogs, the lot at 25 cents; one eight day clock altl.aO; lotot tobacco, seven or Ignt hogsheads, at 15; three stacks ot hay, each at 25 cents, and one stack of fodder at 25 cents," Bo much tor our own experience with low or revenue tariffs. England's example is no less Instructive. Hefore bor adoption ot Free Trade tier agriculture was the main source ot her Strength and wealth. It was armies drawn from English farms that Won her victories, inade her couquoets and placed her In the proud place she has occupied for centuries among the nations of the earth. To day, eleven million acres of the best farm land In the world Is lying wasto In ling land, 2im).(XX) persons annually leave the agri cultural districts and tho condition of British agriculture is simply deplorable. I'roeTiade tins all hut ruined the English farmer, do li has ruined the Irish farmer. Holt has dealt with agriculture In India. In tact, our own exporl ace and that of the whole world Is that a revenue tariff means doath to the farmer's pros perity. On the other hand, eoe tow constantly and froatly the condition of American farmers has Improved. Never hefore could they get so great quantity of the things they consume with so Small a quantity of the things they produce. Th following comparison hetwt en former and pres ent agricultural conditions shows how superior those of the present are, and vindicates the ledum of our early statesmen, who, at a tune hen the farmer citizens ot the young Kopubllc bad to exchange a wagon load of farm prod Bco for a pair ot boots, so dire, ted the course et legislation as to realize at the closo ot the yilneuenth coutuir IU conditions bore pictured: riUUE OF THINGS FABMKBS BELL.

Tlio dom.igogue as urcs them thai theromcdy for their Ids Is to tie sought In foreign markets tor their produce It Is exactly the argumeut used to persuade them to consent to a revenue tariff In lMiG. Hut When that tariff had been voted they di.ici.verr d bow thoy had been tooled. Said President I PI tnoro In his annual message lu l'ect-mber, lull, flvo yours aflei the low tariff bud been inaugu rated: "Tho t 'luoof our exports ot bres ljtufTs and provisions, which 11 was supposed Mo Incentive t a lew Tariff and large In-por.allons from broad would have greatly augmented, has fallen from $i'.8,iiUO,000 In 1M7 to $21.C00.(k)O 111 1851, with almost a certainty ot a still further reduction In 1852. The policy which dictated a low rule of duties on foreign merchandise, It as thought by those who established It, would lend to benefit the farming population of tills Country, by Increasing the demand and raising lbs price ot our agricultural products In toielgn markets. The foregoing facts, however, seem to show, lncoutestahly, that no such result has followed the adoption of this policy." And no such result would follow a repetition St the experiment now.
