ful. They are making it up into fsbrics,
which, although OF inferior quality, ASH
respects appearance are well adapted to
the large class Of customers who want
cheap goods. The competition Of these
cottons With ours has already affected us
very sensibIy in the South American mar

We have before us an extract of let

Our cotton growers at the South must
be aware that when British manufacturers
can procure from their own territories the

them TO pat manufactured goods a, this

millions OF laborers whose industry may

induces the belief that large proportion,

not to be committed too far. They might
take an example from their political friends
of the Northern, Middle and Western

of party leaders, have gone so far in de-

From the New York Tribune.

The Locofoco papers continue their at
lacks on the New Tariff, and predict i'm
mense smuggling ON account Of lis high
duties. Sill is one Of the articles ins,anc.
ed. Now il happens to be the fact thai
Duties on siiks under the New Tariff are
on the oholc ioper than they haze hitherto
been. A few descriptions Of cheap, and
nearly worthless silk goods may be charg-
ed higher bat the average will be lower
than hitherto. h wiz nor be over Is pei
cent.-silk being one Of those articles OIL
little bulk or weight in proportion 10 their
value which will not therefore beas 81 high
a duty as We should wish to see irsposed
on them.
The principal change made bv the ne W
Tariff is the imposition Of specific instead
Of ad yaiorem duties. A Silks and Silk
Goods henceforth pay 50 much per pound
according to their character. The effect
of this is two fold; first, the foreign i'm
por,ers are deprived Of the advantage
they have always heretofore enjoyed, in
being able to swear in their goods at low
er valHions than Americans could. They
could do it honestly /; being themselves
manufacturers or connected with such,
they obtained their goods cheaper than
Americans could buy them, and paid du-
ties accordingly, thus running or driving
our importers out of the market. This
is stopped by the nexorable so much per
pound. Another effect of this system is
to keep out hlmsy and trashy goods, and
cause the importation of such only as are
OF fair quality.
The Evening Post complains Of the
enormous duty of 50 so per pound on
sewing silk. This is about thirty five per
cent. on the foreign or twenty per cent.
on the American cost Of the article
Here is TAX, SAYS the Post, 'of 81 so
on sewing silk'-an article in very gene
raj use. The answer TO this is, that there
is indeed duty of so much, but not tar,
because American Sering Six is at this
moment cheaper, considering the quality,
than the foreign mould be eren II there
cere NO duty. The American article
costs little more per pound, but the av-
erage quality is better, and every pound
Of American lowing to the difference in
the weight of the coloring natter con.
tains aboat one-foBrth more Six than a
pound of Italian. Thus in the very in
fancy Of the culture we have already riv.
aled our long established competitor; and
there can hardly be doubt that under a
uniform and steady Protection we shall
soon produce an article much cheaper as
we'll as better than could be obtained a
broad.
Friends Of American Industry ! take
heed of the industry and vehemence o

LETTER FROM MR.. CLAY.
We have the pleasure Of laying before

RY Clay to a gentleman of this city.
The declaration Of principles contained in
this letter ls full and satisfactory upon all
the great leading questions of national
policy. Mr.. Clay never hesitates to give
his opinions, or to express, with the most
liberal and unreserved irankness, The con-
illusions Of his Judgments upon public at
fairs. The following letter will be found
more complete than any previous exposl.
ton Of his views. 1t will 5e seen that the

paign is re~asserted by Mr.. Clay:
ASHLAND, Sept. ID, 1912.
DEAR SIR IL received your favor,
communicating the patriotic purposes and
views Of the Young men of Philadelphia /;
and | take pleasure, in compliance with
your request, in stating some OF tho prIn.
cipa objects which, suppose, engage the
common desire and the common exertien
of the Wing party to bring about, N the
Government OF the United States. These
are
A sound national currency, regulated by
the will and authority of the nation
An adequate revenue, with fair protection
to American industry:
Just restraints on The Executive power,
embracing further restriction on the
exercise Of the veto
A faithful administration Of the public do
main, with an equitable distribution OF
the proceeds of sales Of i, among all
the States :
An honest and economical administration
Of the General Government, leaving
public officers perfect freedom OF
thought, and Of the right OF suffrage ;
but with suitable restraints against i'm
proper interference in elections
An amendment of the Constitution, limit
ing the incumbent Of the Presidential
office TO one term.
These objects attained, think that we
should cease to be afflicted with bad ad-
minislraton Of the Government. am,
respectfully.
Your friend, and obi servt,
H. CLAY.
