at Williston few weeks since, that strong
tariff resolution was introduced, road twice, and
adopted but, mark yc, reader, that resolution
was suppressed in the official proceedings pub
lished in the Sentinel! What does this mean!
Why was the resolution adopted! Why was
il suppressed! The answer is obvious twas
adopted because it was in accordance with the
views of vast majority of the people Of this
county and suppressed, because it was at war
with the principles and measures of the ad,nin-
is,ration Tho Office holders dare not send it
to their masters at Washington. What sort of
protection can the industry Of the north expect at
such hands How long will an intelligent COM
muny submit to SO gross and flagitous an i'm
position
Indeed, so deep is the feeling against a
protective policy, that it is charged upon the
Wing Candidate that he is in favour Of the
protective system by the Extra Globe, and
undcserving therefore Of Southern support.
The Editor of that rabid paper quotes the
following extract, including resolution, from
the journal of the Senate Of Ohio, in which
we find it italicized as follows:
"M- Harrison mored the adoption Of tpo rtso'u.
tons instr,ctinp our members in Congrcss 10 pro
cure The passage Of ,atres modijyi1g he TARIfT
| on imported articles, and for The announcement Of
domestic manufactures and Internal improremsncS
Which rcrc read. and ordered to lie on Tie table"
| December H. 1919. "The Senate then took 10 the
report of the Committee of the Whole upon the reso.
utions repeating the tariff on imported articles and
! relative to internal improvements and domestic ma
nufactures which report was amended and agreed to;
and on motion to agree to the following resolution.
| to wit
"Rcsolred By The General Assemblyof the State Of
Ohio, That, in their opinion, the present pccunary
| embarrassmcnts Of the country are, in great degree
| caused by want of encouragement and protection tn
domestic manufactures, and that good policy requires
that such notifications of the tariff, imported art
cles, be Immediately made, as will stop that inunda-
ton of foreign Merchandise which has destroyed
suspended the operations Of the greater part of the ma
nufacturing establishments of the United Statcs;
which motion to agree TO sad resolution unanl-
mousy decided IN the affirmative.
'Thc yeas and nays having been required, those
members who were present, and voted III tho afllrma-
tive, were
"Messrs. Baldwin, Brown, Campbell, Fithian,
Foot, Furnas, HARRISON, Hooker" &c.
Additional extracts from tho journal Of the
Ohio Senate arc given in the Globe, to show
the zeal Gen. Harrison spent in behalf of a
) protective tariff, and for which the editor Of
the Globe complains bitterly, as the follow.
ing paragraph will show:
"In these propositions of HARRISON ia contained
the germ of all the infection of that sordd American
System, which had well nigh proved fatal to Amer-
can institutions. The perpotuity of national debt,
monopoly i'll its most odious form, in privileges to the
richer class by increasing the poverty of the poorer
Legislative corruption in tho log-rong system and
, combinations, to carry ont schemes to appropriate
money To their peculiar objects at the expense Of the
weaker sections of the Union-hc dcpraying policy of
distributing SURPRISES upon the national improvements
ut the expense of the Constitution and State ursdc-
ton; and the fountain of all the niQlty, in tariff
stripping the people Of their earnings by the Govern
mcn wants, but to corrupt classes support
IN its tyrannos, is the creed embodied in these HAIR
G RIsoS resolutions"
=. This is plain language. 1t can not and
will not be misunderstood by the North, and
&c the People at tho North will, forever, hold a
0 man, in abhorance who neglects their into
a rests, and, instead of providing for the whole
It country, merely assists the Southern part Of
y the Union. Such language may injurc Gen,
d Harrison in the estimation of the Southern
h Planters and their "human property" but i,
a does not delract one jot or title from his
g proud fame in New England
