Tariff Logic.

It (the tariff) has enabled the United States to have a larger mileage of railroad to-day than ail of tht rest of the world put together. It has bound the extreme northeast to the extreme southwest, so that you can take a car here from under the shadow of Mount Blue and go to the utmost bounds of the Republic. It could not have neen done except for a protective tariff.— •Tames G. Blaine

That is to say, if steel rails had, with no tariff, cost S2O instead of the S4O they have cost under a tariff, railroad projectors would not have bought them, and new roads would not have been started! It is high prices that make people buy! What arrant humbuggery is this wherewith to fool the phesphoric brain of the fishafed New Englander.—Washings ton Post.
