RICHMOND ENQUIRER AND
Nh. CALHOUN.

1--WE retort upon the Telegraph
the falsehood which il has charged up
on us. It's editor knows, as well as
we do, that John G. Calhoun was an
advocate ofthe tariff system Of 1876
that he went out Of the war, an ultra
stickler for the powers Of the Fed
eral GoVernment--that he sup
ported the Bank-a general system Of
Internal Improvement-snd the pro-
tectiUs system as the permanent policy
Of the Government. The loyal Tele-
graph knows, thar 10 spite Of his late
equivocaiing speech, he was the advo
cate Of the bill Of 1sl6-that there is
not one word about raising rspsuls 10
bis speech Of 1916; and hat no insist
ed that manufactures should be esiab
lishsd b. a protection beyond he reach
| ofooaiingencg and ihat he slrsnuously
supported the oppressive and odioos
system Determination"
"Fge zn0p farther, and we have no
doubt, this miserable sycophant of Mr..
Calhoun knows de same. That as far
down as 1924, he was 10 favor ofbnil-
