Mn CAIHOUN'S SPEECH.

The speech of Mr. Calhoun on the Tarli
bill, delivered in the Senate yesterday, was lis
tened 10 with great attention by large audi
dence. 1t was mastery eiiort-comprehen
siye and concise-overturning fallacious systems
in one breath, and depicting the operations and
results of stupendous principles in another.
Although we are frank to admit that hi
speech was replete with momentous truths
vet we differ with him as 10 the propriety and
expediency of the application OF his tavorlte
principle, at thepresent time, as remedy for ex-
visiting evils, which all must confess are the result
of defective Observation-Disclosures, because the
interests of party have been subserved, IN
stead of country.
But we shall take occasion TO review this
speech at length. II is only our purpose at this
time to say word about protection That
protection is the main object of the bill which
has been discusse in the Senate, there can be
no doubt That tariff on certain articles,
amounting to prohibition, for the purpose OF
building up a monopoly for one class, while the
great mass of the People are taxed for purposes
of revenue, and portion of this revenue (as
much as the land fund) is distributed to certain
stockholders, TO whom the State are indebted, Is
unconstitutional. is equally obvious. But that
in lowing duties on imports for the pur-
nose of raising revenue, all protection Is
accidental, as was remarked by Mr.. Calhoun,
we must deny. To our apprehension such pro-
lection is inevitable To raise sufficient rev.
enue on imports for the purposes OF an econo-
mical administration of the Government (and
we agree with Mr. Calhoun, that the expenses
can be brought down five millions below the
estimate of the Chairman Of the Committee on
Finance, } it is absolutely necessary to impose
duty on articles manufactured IN this country,
as well as those that are not And the duty
must 90 above 20 per cent. to raise enough re-
venue then. And this incidental or inepitable
protection wo I'D satisfy the manufactures
But there must be no prohibition. We would
prefer Free Trade and direct taxation. Any
extreme policy will render the system unstable.
Instability is what is running the manuiactu
rers A repenue bill (not such a 'bill OF abom-
nationsn as Mr. G. termed the one now on the
cooling -board) will Afford all the prolection-in-
cldtntally, accidentally, or ineuitdbly-that the
intelligent manufactures desires. Let Congress
repeal the Distribution law, Cor suspend II for
twenty years, till the national debt is paid,) and
pass such a revenue bill as the President re-
commended. and the welfare of the manufacture
ing as well as all other classes, will be fixed on
a permanent basis If this is not done, it will
eternally be party question, and always sub
Ject to mutablity. If this Wing Congress
could fix this .biIl of denominations" on the Peo-
pie this year, would be torn to pieces the next,
when the Republicans will be i'll power. Even
now we have Republican President who will
not shrink from his duty.

~ A correspondent asserts that "Mr Colt,
by his submarine battery, can raise any given
weight by its own power;" and probably, the
heavier it is, the higher and easier he can raise
it, If this be true, the Lord of Ashland ought
at once to employ Mr.. Colt to go through the
country and get up his popularity, which would
soon be sky-high, as there are few things at
present much heavier. friend at our elbow
thinks he ought to be employed by some Sena-
tors and Representatives. to raise them by their
own opinion; Of them selves This would be
altogether impossible as on the score of their
own importance they are already entirely be
yond the reach of dozen Colts.

THE HOME Lacquer

"Rssolred That duty imports is not tax on the
consumer of the articles imported to the amount OF
the duties levied in any case and in many instances
does not tax the consumer at all but io,cers the ari
Gle in the foreign market 10 The duties levied by u.s."
The above is a specimen Of the wisdom OF
the Home League, and was adopted unanimous
4y at the late Convention Tor the State Of Ohio,
held at Columbus on the 4th ut. 1t merely as
seIts that high duty is no tax on the consum-
or, because the foreign manufacturer lorers the
price of his merchandise so as to sell it at the
same rate as if the duty remained as before.
How this logic tunbles to the ground when pro-
perly examined If the resolution is correct in
It's statement, then the home manufacturer is
not protected al all; and if high duty will not
protect the manufacturer, why do the Home
Leaguers insist upon any Tariff. In their great
desire to carry out the doctrine of the Lord OF
Ashland, they have gone beyond their depth and
exploded all their arguments by one grand
though extremely nonsensical .taur pas.

THE PRESIDENT IN OPPOSITION TO THE
WILL, OF THE PEOPLE

Such is the senseless cry of the Clay Federal
presses and their members of Congress. What are
the facts More than siry of the Federal members
of the present Congress are mlsrepresenmg major
y of their constituents, and would be turned out to-
morrow, if the people could have chance to pass
upon them. Such is the with the Senate suil-
cien to constitute large majority of that body OPP
posed to its present course. The President acts in
accordance with vast majority of the American
people.

THE MAJORITY IN CONGRESS AND THE
TARIFF

From present appearances, it would the ma
orty in Congress are determined to defeat any Tariff
bill that may be brought forward for the purpose of
revenue, Well be it so, with them the responsibility
rests they cannot, by any species of trickery, de-
ceive the people upon this subject. 1t is now per-
ectly understood that the President is anxious that
the people should have what they have long been seek
ing for, Tariff which, while it raises a revenue suf-
fcient to meet the wants of the Government at the
same time operates as protection to American in
dustry And what reason is assigned by the Wing
majority in Congress for not passing such bill p
Simply that the President will not consent to violate
the Compromise act, by continuing in force the Dis
tribuon act after the tariff OF duties is raised above
30 per cent. And is this sufficient reason for them
to refuse this relief to the country Do they expect
the people to be satisfied with such an excuse? they
do, we can assure them they are deceived; nor do
the people believe the majority sincere in these
reasons, but they look forward to the real reason,
which is the advancement of Mr. Clays interest and
TO enable him to reach the Presidential chair. For
this purpose all the hopes of the manufacturer must
be blasted and ruin must be brought upon the indus
trious classes of citizens If the Wings sin
cere in their professions that tn in favor OF
Tariff why not at once pass one leaving oil the dis
tributon clause What interests have the manufac-
turers to have that continued in force None what
ever except il be the mandatory started at Wash
lngton for making Presidents They know full well
that Tariff bill has passed. their factories
must stop, hence their determination to defeat it.
Can the people shut their eyes to these facts viii
they for the sake of electng Henry Clay to the Pre-
sdency, abandon all principle, all of honor, of
justice, and of right and in the language of the
Wing song,
without why wherefore,
Vote for Harry therefore,
CARELESS of consequences to themselves and to their
country We think not we believe better things of
the majority of the citizens of our republic Let
them besiege Congress with petitions upon this sub
iect asking them to abandon their fruitless warfare
upon the President, AMI 60 to work for the benefit of
the country. And should Congress dare any longer
reject their appeals let them speak this fall through
the ballot-box in manner that will put those Presi-
dent makers in mind that they are, yet, the SER
wants and not the masters of free people. If they
continue in their present course, and finally adourn
without passing revenue bill, they may bring ruin
upon them country and upon her industrious citizens
for time, but upon themselves they will bring last
ing infamy and disgrace Let It be borne in mind
with whom the responsibility rests, and teach these
unfaithfu servants that they cannot always thus rihe
with their constituents

DIALOGUE.

Home LedgUer-But repeat the higher we
raise the duty the lower the article will be pur-
chased as England must have the trade of this
country for her immense manufactures, and will
reduce the cost prices precisely as much as we
make the duty.
Reuublicdn.-I admire your logic. 1t is ca
pital, and AN fully convinced. Let US at
once put up the duty on each article to the ac-
tual price of the article, and a. England ''must
hare the trade of this country for her immense
manufactures" we shall get all our goods for
nothing, and have the duty for the Government
TO boot.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 81, 1912.

DPThe failure of the Eastern mail last
Thursday leaves us without further news
of interest, either from Washington or
Jefferson, than we gave in our last. GO r.
AS is generally the custom, the first week
or two of the session of congress has been
devoted to private business, and the refer
ence of the Presidents Message TO the ap-
propriate committees. On the subject of
referring so much of the message as re-
lates to the Exchequer, debate Of some
length, yet not of great Importance, arose
in the House. A disposition seems to be
manifested to give the friends of the mea-
sure fair opportunity to place it in its
most favorable light before the House and
the country. The repeal of the Bankrupt
Law is certain--at an early day.
From Jefferson we have no news of i'm
portance. A great many members left the
latter part of last week to visit their fam-
lies during the holydays. Messrs. Rawlins,
Jackson, Scott, and Mr.. Boon. Secretary
of the Senate, were at home two or three
days. They left on Thursday.
Peter G. Glover, has been elected Trea-
surer, and Mr.. Jackson, the present door
keeper of the House, commissioner of the
permanent seat of government.
The committee to which was referred
the subject of so amending the charter of
the bank as to allow her to issue small bills,
have reported in favor of making the al
teration. 1t is said DR.. Scott has made Il
minority report, against such alteration.
The members of the Legislature held a
meeting and nominated Martin Van Buren,
and Richard M. Johnson, as candidates for
President and Vice President. Our dele
CATION in congress were appointed dele
gates to convention.
We have heretofore neglected to notice
that preamble and resolutions had been
introduced by Mr.. Shelley of Galloway,
alledging incompetency against Judge Le-
land. The subject was referred to a select
committee, consisting of Messrs. Flanagan,
Maulsby, Wheaton, Burden, McElhany,
Long, and Bay. The committee have not
yet made their report. Judge Leland was
holding court in Galloway when the subject
was brought before the Legislature. He
adjourned his court there, and also in Boon
county.
