Mr.. CARsKADoN,a candidate for the Legis-
iS'nFe IN Hampshire couHty, having been
personally inteFsogated respecting his views
on po!t:eai matters, in the Romney %lntelli-
gencer, with a manly independence comes
out and answers the same. We subioin an
extract from bis aUs'yer-on the subject of the
Tariff and internal Improvement, mir. Cars
kadon says:
"That we are advancing with gigantic
strides to greatness, as a nation, is a well
known fact. Our wide extended territory

West, the North and South, may require
the patriotic ingenuity oil the statesman

eral acqulescencs of the people IN the
measures pursued by the assembled wisdom
Of The nation TO hold as together as a repcb-
lie. Ihe question is, what general polcy
would be most likely to promste our indie
pendencs as a nation, and a unity Of feelings
and interests In answer ! would say, that
the tariff Policy is well calculated to make u5
Independent and the system az internal ira

devised. The nation will lsng remember IFS
dependence on Europe for many OF the indis-
pensable munitions Of war, even as late as
1Si4-a part of the very clothing ofour Off
GERS and soldiers was manufactured by our
enemy. In 1916, we found tho American
people alive to their true interests, they saw
the force of the maxim-'In peace prepare
fer war They, cautious in the extreme laid
a light duty on imported articles sgch as we
had in our power 10 manufacture ourselves,
and If mistake not we find the prominent
politicians ia the South acquiesciag ia the
measure. What was the effect? We find
capitalists investing their funds in rsanufac-
turing establishments of various kinds and
manuiactorles growing up in different quar-
ters. DIa we sustain any loss in our con-
merciai affairs as was predicted by some?-
not at all. Negeton tolerabiy well till 1924
1t was then found that eur infant manufac-
tories wanted some further aid, ewing TO the
general peace in Europe the dense population
and cheapness of labour giving them adyan-
tage Overt US. The question was again bro't
before Congress, and resulted in raising the
duties on some articles and cautiously incla-
ding others. About this time the South be-
gan to think the tariff laws were oppressive.

be concise; the policy has been pursued and

antiquities IN the constitution, when the in
strunent itself Is notorious for coaciseness
and p~erspicuity. Let ii not be said that the
commencement of a national improvement is

would have prevented the making Of the Ma

| am clearly of the opinion, that protecting
duties, cautiously laid-not amounting TO
prohibitions or creating ~monopolies, are cal
culated TO promote eur individual interests
and national Independence. Let us then be
firm and undertaking in our course, pursuing
the best interests Of eur country, mot pridina
