interests The Roman Trumvirs did not Ehestate
to make Iec procal sacrifice to their best friends
to each others luminosity, TO preserve IA detesble
union among themsclves.-it remained for Van
Buren,, Calhoun and Benton to copy and biacken
the example, by sacrificing the happiness of u whole
People for similar object.
| 1t is time that an administration which has exer.
csed unlimited power for ten years, and produced
nothing but misery and distress should cease
PROTECTION OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
The gieat questions which ngtated the county
from 1916 to 1928 coming back upon us-
Shut zoe De Independent Of foreign nntiomsP Shall
american industry be sustaincd' On the one hand,
Mr. BENTON has boas,ingly said that he and his
friends have ruined The present tariff; and that if
no other brings up the subject, TO put it down
forever, he will do it The present session. Mr..
CALHOUN AYERS that all protection by tie ,oay Of i'm
post dutyatustb be done anay,and the currency reduc
edto hard money in order bring down the cost of
producing and manufacturing, by cutting down the
prices of labor. Mr. BucuANAN-the representa-
tive of tariff stale--has avowed kindred doc
trine, and boldly and directly appealed to The man
ufacturers protect themselves by reducing the
wages Of the thousan ds Of aborers in their employ.
On the other hand, I'VE find thai DANIEL WEBSTER,
JOHN DAVIS, Henry CLAY, and their Wing com.
peers in the Senate, maniully sustaining
the interest Of The manufacturer, the farmer, and
the laborer, and warning The country that tho cri-
sis is at hand, in which must decide whether
we will sucrumb to the pauper system ofEurope, or
go on III The old american 'oay, to still higher pros
perity. Concident with these demonstrations,
find that the revenue is unequal to the demand up
on the treasury-and yet, the administration
for robbing the ofthe public lands-for ssu-
ing millions upon millions of treasury notes-in
fine, for any of raising the money, except By
The old and 0ppr0ucd aooy ofG TARIFF.
These are The signs of The times; and it is for
| these reasons declare that thrown back
! upon the ground which the country stood in
( 1916. 1t Is Iime then, that the people take this
question IN hand:land if they for hitching them
selves, with the pauper millions of other lands, to
the retnue of British manufacturers and British
SPECTATORS let them sustain Van Buren,, Calhoun,
Benton and Buchanan or, fthey aim ut higher
and more glorious destiny, then sustain the Farmer
of North Bend, who is identified with the best in
terests Of the country, and who in 1924, and
he is now, for the protection of domestic industry
This question should be speedily settled by the
people, and before the presidential eIection.-The
next President, whoever he is, cannot avoid this
snbjec and it is of the impoi lance, there
fore, that the coalition be not permitted 10 SNUG
gle upon the nation who is hostile TO its best
IN teress this respect We leave this matter now
with single extract from a letter of Thomas JEFF.
ferson, published in Niles Register, March 9,
1916, 1t is to the point ponder it. Mr.. Jefferson
said:
"Comparo this state ofthings with that Of 'S5
and say whether an opinion founded in the circum.
stances OF that day. can be fairly applied those of
the present. We have experienced what did
not then believe, that there EXISTS bath pr0figacy
and pO,ccr enough to exclude from the fed Of
intcrchanGG oih other natiOns; that 10 be indepen
dent for the comfortS Of life must FABRIoATE
THEM OURSELVES. We must noao place the manu-
fncturGr by the side of the agricuituTaiist The for
mer question is suppressed, rather assumes a
new form The grand inquiry now is, shalt ace
make comforts, go ioithOut them at the
aoiu eta foreign nation? He, therefore, who is
now against domestic manu- factures, must be for
ducing either to Il dependence on that nation, or
be clothed in skins, md to live like wild beasts
