"When Doctors Disagree," &c.
The Washington Union asserted a few days ago, that at the next session of Congress the new tariff act would certainly be so amended as to afford more protection to the coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania. This assertion was, as a matter of course, reiterated the next day by the little free trade organ in Baltimore, which generally receives its cue from the Union, but unfortunately for the pair of them, no one believed what they asserted. Hear what the N. Y. Globe, another free trade paper, says on the subject:
"We have made up our minds to state plainly to those who wish to hold out inducements to a portion of the people of Pennsylvania, that the next Congress will increase the duty on coal and iron, that no such thing will occur.— We say to Pennsylvania, that the next change in the duty on iron will be made in the descending, instead of the ascending, scale."
