THE EDITOR OF THE GLOBE AND THE
CLAY AND ADAMS COALITION


Our Republican friends in various sections Of
the Union, who believe that the intolerance Of
the Globe was one Of the principal causes OF MIR.
Van Buren's defeat in 1910, have made numerous
requests for us to give all the additional trsti-
nony that we can procure, Of the participation
Of the editor Of the Globe in the infamous CO.
alition which cheated General Jackson out of
the Presidency, made Mr.. Adams President, and
Mr.. Clay Secretary Of State.
We would respectfully remark that the pro-
duction of additional evidence Of his guilt is
unnecessary he has ockno riedged his parfici-
patton in that iuiquitous arrangement, but
attempts to justify the act on the grounds that
Mr.. Clay was not only his old friend and con-
pcxion by marriage" but a true and pure De.
ni0crat at that time.
Now there is one important fact in this con
fession, TO which we would call the attention OF
our friends. II is this:-If Mr.. Clay was a
good Democrat in Mr. Blsir's estimation then,
Clay then, as now, advocated the odious
American SYSTEM" and all the rest of his
Federal measures.
Having transcript Of the proceedings in the
Senate Of Kentucky before us, we will, how
ever, add another proof Of the guilt Of the
editor Of the Globe in the bargain and cor
ruptiOn" case.
I" Amos Kendall being again called, was asked
whether he not informed three four ,oeeks be-
fore the Presidential election that Mr.. Clay would
be Secretary Of State, if MIR. Adams were made
PRESIDENT
"Mr. Hardin objected to the question being an
swcred unless IL were first stated from whom the in
formation came.
Witness said he was embarrassed, because to
state from whom the information came, was to say
he had the information; and the supposon be
had not the Information, II could have come from
nobody.

THE PLUNDERERS!

The Globe of Saturday said the Madlsonian
was sustained by Executive ''jobs and con-
tracts,n when it knew we had neither to the
value of dollar.
But what will the country say TO the 's"te-
ment below, taken from Kendall's last Expositor,
wherein il appears that the Government was
PLUNDERED of the enormous sum of $500,
by the editor of the Globe, for printing merely a
"PERSONAL VINDICATION" of one Of
the heads Of Departments The money was
paid in $780, just before Mr.. Van Buren, was
defeated We would print 20 pamphlets for
halfthe money. But no such ''jobs" are thrown
in our way by the heads of Departments under
President Tylcr's Administration.
From Kendalfs E1posiior.
But as to the 81, 500, the case was this
About 5000 Of it, if we remember right was for
extra copies of the Globe containing an article or
articles indicating Maj. Barry's administration Of
the Post Office Department against the conclusion of
the Committees of Congress or some Of their mem
bers, and about 81 800 for printing pamphlet Of
the same tenor This pamphlet was in the shape of
q Report 10 both Houses Of Congress; but not
being in reply to any CALL in fact mere personal
vindication, voluntarily rendered Although some
points, the Reports of the Committees, from want of
clear view OF the subjects investigated, did injus-
tice to Maj. Barry, did not think he had law
full right to apply the public funds to pay for the
printing of this vlndication.

l5The Globe states that the Madisonan is
sustained BY the jobs and contracts given il by

without any foundation in truth. We have had
neither job nor contract from the Government

BALTIMORE CUSTOM HOUSE.

we COPIED INTO our paper OF SATURDAY, DN request
part OF an article communicated for the Washington
Globe in which the writer states that the expenses
in the Offices Of the Collector and Surveyor exceed
those Of their predecessors by upwards Of S5000 In
reply to that articls we have received the following
note from the Surveyor, which we lay before our
readers with pleasure
BALTIMORE, August l2th lS43.
To the Editors Of The Clipper:
In looking your paper Of this morning. find
a communication which originally appeared in the
Washington Globe, and signed, "An Ex-Inspector of
the Customs at this Port"
The statement in question is most inaccurate in its
details, respecting the comparative statement Of the
number Of officers at the several periods, and part
cuarly so in the amount of money alleged TO be paid
at present for the collection Of the revenue. There
is one Inspector more now employed than there
in 1899 and so far from the expenses Of the port
having been increased, they are actually considerably
less and there has been large saving effected in the
disbursement Of the Marine Hospital Very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
VIM. PINKNEY, Surveyor.
In addition to this note have statements of ac-
tual expenses, taken from the books Of the Custom
House, which demonstrate that the ak Inspector' is
in in regard to OF present over former
expenditures. We submit the facts, that the public
mind may be disabused
In 1899 the amount paid inspectors,
boats, watchmen, &c, was S37 6G6 10
In 1912, for same, 36,293 81
Saving by present officers, Sl,372 81
We have not teken the year 1910 TO compare with
that Of 1912, for the reason, that in the former year
two Of the inspectors died, and not replaced by
other appointments IN that year. Their places were
subsequently filed. Without these two inspectors
the expenses for 1910 were S35, 463 30
Let us now compare the disbursements for the Ma
rino Hospital by Mr.. Mosher and Mr.. Pinkney.
BY Mr. Mosher--in 1893, 81, 25S S0-in 1899, So
436 SIN 1910, g, 400 S.
BY Mr.. Pinkney--from lst April, 1s4l, to LIST April

Mosher, years, 1899, 40 s17646 a

Difference in favor Of Pinkney 5000 as
Mr.. Pnkncy states in the note inserted above that
there Is but one more than the ordinary number Of
inspectors, and has mentioned TO that this appoint
ment was indispensable to the public interests. An
Eek Inspector" is also mistaken learn, in assert
ing that the runners Of the custom house in ad
dion to the boatmcn, the latter being taken for the
purpose.
The explanation here given will no doubt prove
satisfactory TO the public nasmuch the statements
are from the books Of the custom house. and cannot

have been instrumental in causing the facts TO be
published.

Let lis return for a moment to what Is
called "the protective policy" The Lynn
shoemaker cIamors for protection, for high
duties 10 diminish foreign imports and Sc
cure to him the monopoly of the home
market. If he can only exclude French
shoes, he shall then have this monopoly.
Very well. Where does he, and what
: must he, find the principle market for his
shoes South and West. The value of
that market to him then, will depend on
the ability of the South and West to buy
shoes. Whence this ability! 1t depends
of course, on the ability of the South and
West to sell their own productions. The
principal market for western produce is
at the South. The ability Of the West
to buy Lynn shoes depends then, on its
ability to sell is productions TO the South.
Whence, then. we must ask again, the
ability of the South to buy western pro-
duce and Lynn shoes ! In lis ability TO
sell its rice, cotton and tobacco to the for
eigner. Whence the ability of the for
eigner to buy he rice, cotton and tobacco
of the South to sell his own productions
OF manufactures to us. Consequently, just
in proportion as the Lynn shoemaker
places an impeachment in the way of the
foreigner selling TO us--does he place an
impeachment in the way of his selling his
shoes TO the South and West. In pro-
portion as he secures, by prohibitory du-
ties the monopoly of the home market,
dminishes its value, by diminishing the
ability of the people to consume. Here
at best, he loses on the one hand all
he gains on the other.-O. "A. Brorn-

with Andrew Jackson

it Gen. Jackson at the Hermitage, than
TO study Nashville, and took the oppor-
tunity delightful morning to ride out TO
his plantation. The distance from Nash

country. The Hermitage is in full view
from the main road, though in approach

angle Tor some eighty rods, which brings
you directly before the Generals man

and adorned with various forest trees,
locusts and shrubbory-the house itself
is built of brick, two story high, with a
wing on either side of the main part,
which has a double porch, running its
entire length, constructed in good taste,
and altogether handsome building
AT the time of my arrival the General
was in the garden, and by the servant
who ushered me into a parlor, sent
him my card. in few moments | saw
him coming towards me through the hall,
unaccompanied, resting both hands upon
long stick, which supported his steps,
his figure was bent as he walked with slow
and difficult steps. went forward to
meet him, and was received with the
dignity and kindnes so peculiarly win
ming in a person Of his celebrity. ] shall
cut short the description Of the interview
to me it was a melancholy pleasure,
so feeble was the old man and so difficult
his ut!erance there were none other pre-
sent. He showed me the Pistols of Gem
eral Washington and his own sword.

my attention to them. His adopted son
