Mr.. JONI DAVIS. halter Of st. Louis,
recently sent to Hon. HENRY CLAY a
present OF hat, accompanied with the
following note
Sr. LOUIS, August 9Th, 1s42.
| Hon. Henry Clay.
SIR-Permt me TO present and ask
your acceptance OF the accompanying gift,
a hat, made for your own individual use,
by St. Louis workman, from native ma
terials. The hat is what have styled
the ST. Louis Fashion, city whose 10.
habitants have not been unmindful Of your
many valuable services to their common
county.
10 the absence Of "protective tariff"
the production and adoption Of our own
fashions, home made, they may be, seems
to me matter of necessity to protect
ourselves against an unfair competition
from the European manufacturers. If
we consult national feeling in our fash.
ions, as we should do in all things which
contribute to give glory and character to
our nation, we will soon drive those for
eign manufacturers who have fattened dp-
on the honest industry of our land, 10
seek new and other markets, and secure
10 our own manufactures, merchants and
producers, that rich reward which their
industry and enterprise merits.
4 have not been able TO send you the
hat as soon as | desired nevertheless
you vii! receive it, and be enabled to ex.
anime il at least two weeks in advance
of the receipt of the same fashion by my
immediate friends and fellow citizens
and may be permitted to hope, that the
wear aud the use Of it will afford you the
high satisfaction which its manufacture
and presentation to one so worthy of hi,
country's gratitude has given TO your
humble servant, JOHN DAVIS.
To which Mr.. CLAY made the follow
ing reply;
ASHLAND, 9th August, 1912.
DEAR SIR I'll have received safel,
the Hat OF your manufacture, which yol
have been good enough to present to me
with your friendly letter accompanvin,
ii. thank you cordially for The Hat
1t fits me perfectly well, its texture is We
ry fine, aud the style OF its fashion is ex
celIent. The ladies you know, are thu
best judges in all matters of taste, ant
from their decision no appeal can be ia
ken. Several Of them, being at my house
exhibited the Hat to them, and they al
concurred in decided appreciation OF its el
egance.
sincerely hope that you will succee,
in your audable endeavor to cultivate
taste at home for domestic production
If Ve!oes throw down all barriers agains
the introduction of rival foreign produc
tons, the people have remedy in thei
hands by giving preference to those o
our own country. In giveng such pre-
ference they will follow the example o
their Revolutionary ancestors, and obey
the impulses Of genuine and enlightened
patriotism.
Wishing you great success in all you
enterprises,
| am your friend and obedient servant
MR. john DAVIS. H. CLAY.
