"OUT OF THY MOUTH WILL CONDEMN THEE. =
Thomas Hart Benton, Of the U. S. Senate. is
we'll known as one Of the most nbid opponents
of Hena9 Clay, Protective Tariff and Internal
improvements, in the country. What his ssnti-
ments were on all these subjects fewye since
may be ascertained by the following extract of u
letter over his own signature published in the
Missouri Intelligencer of Oct, 22d, 1924
Troy Wing.
:. The principles which would govern Mr.
Claws administration, if elected. are well known
to the nation. They have been displayed upon
tho haor of Congress for the last seventeen years
They constitute a system OF dmeracaa Pofcy,
based on the agriculture and manufactures OF his
own country--upoa interior as we'll as foreign
commQrce-upon internal, as we'll AZ sea-board
| improyement-upon the independence of the new
| world, close commercial alliances with Mexico
and South America. If it is said that others
| would pursue the same system, we answer that
| The founder of the system is the natural execu-
tor of his own work. That the most efficient pro-
| tector Of American iron, lead, hemp wool and
| cotton, would be the triumphant champion of the
new Tariff; the safest friend te interior COM
MERGE would be the statesman who has proclaimed
| the Mississippi to be the sea of the West-the
| mos, Jealous promoter Of internal improvements,
would be the President, who has trumphed over
| the President who opposed tho construction ht ma
| ,ionul roads and canals-the most successful ap-
| pcant for treaties with Mexico and South Amer
lea would be the eloquent advocate of their own
independence. Thomas HART Benton"

Professo,ship, and Mr.. Pease, though young, i
one of the finest scholars in New England.
