HENRY CLAY AND THE FEDERAL
POLICY.

On the 9th Of April 1884, Mr.. Clay de-
clared in the Senate Of the United States
his belief "that a deposition prevailed in
the country, if at the expiration of the linn
tied time, that is in 1913, Just measure
of protection cannot then by common con-
sent be extended to those few articles Of
American industry, that may need it, to
continue the experiment SO far, as com.
pleteI " to test the operation of the compro-
mise" How far the pledge thus given,
nine years in advance, by this statesman
and his tariff friends has been adhered 10,
the late proceedings OF the Congress will
tell. Let The Southern anti-tartf supper
,ars Of Henry Cay well consid r this mat
ter. and resolve the question that hence

mockery Of o5iIgutions should have been

majority Of the popular vote place Mr..
Clay in the presidential chair, and enable
him to claim the highest sanction for his
most daring schemesl That his executive
policy, sustained BY the vote of the people
would be holder and more decidedly fede-
raj in its character, than any of his pre-
,i1us often defeated attempts, none who
have witnessed his public lie, and the cir

in 1910, lie schooed himself into patience.
to hear his preferred rival, Gen. Harrison,
over and again announce his opposition to
bank and tariff, the leading features of
wing policy. All this was to detach from
the democratic party, portion of that
strength which Mr.. Clly's repeated defeats
had taught him could in no wise be over
thrown by direct assault, but might yet be
discounted By intestine divisions or seduc-
ed in adverse time by specious promises Of
temporary advantage. Now, it appears
from the holiness with which Mr.. Claws
friends announce him as the candidate, and
his principles as the tests of party, that
they imagine the fulness of the long de-
lerred time to have come, when federalism
shall boldly unmask itself and stalk proud
ly among The haunts of men, as it was
wont 10 do in the times Of the elder Adams.
Such q move is warranted by the present
apparent strength Of the wing party. and
by the remembrance of its signal triumph
under q leader far inferior to Mr.. Clay
And the various ends and wings Of which
il is composed, northern manufacturers and
southern agricultursts, without Original
faint of Jacksonianism," and states rights
men, all lend willing aid to play out with
success the bold game recently commenced.
Whether or not they will win cannot now
be known, but if they do, the better class
will soon learn that for them, the "game
will not be worth the candle" and all the
stakes are destined to other uses than
theirs.
