READ THE FOLLOWING

Henry Clay, IN his speech at Buffalo, in 1899, used
the following language:
" II the Compromise be inpiotabiy maintained
Il y think it ought 10 be, 81 trust that the
rate of duty for which il provides in conjunction
with the stipulation for cash duties, home valuation
and the long list Of free articles inserted for the bene
fit of the manufacturing interest will insure its
sonable and adequate protection
General Harrison, in his GAINESVILLE letter, thus
wrote
~ am for supporting the Compromise aei, and wiH
neper agree TO its being altered"
The scenes shifted now, AMI a violation Of the
Compromise is made hobby of Clayism and Bankism.
President Tyler is denounced as knave and traitor
for adhering to that compact-and the Democrats
are illuminated and abused on the same ground.
