TIE TARIFF-ANAIOGOUS CASE.

The Scioto Gazette gives conversation with
an intelligent Polish genIeman--one of the eX
lied patros--on the subject Of the tariff. His
language was decided and remarkable, as he
said
''Sir, the tariff is the element of life to this
country. Your prosperity, your independence
your national! existence, depend upon regulating
your imports from abroad, by tariff formed with
view 10 protecting and encouraging your agii-
culture and manufactures at home. Twill never
do for the people of one sovereign TO keep their
workshops on the soil of another government.
W e had fair test of these things,' he continued,
sin Poland. Napoleon introduced the tariff, in
his famous continental system All English
goods were vigorously debarred. After the down
fall Of the Corslcan the Autocrat, foreseeing the
benefit TO lnure from it, continued the tariff
Since the days of Peter the Great, Russia has
flourlshed by The very dint of her home policy.
=" Well, the *stric,ion went hard with us for
three or four years, for had to begin every
thing. But necessity has laws and they are Of
ten good ones. Our people and artizans went TO
work; mills and manufactures were erected !;
sheep were introduced from abroad mechanics of
unsurpassed skill came from England and France,
and found ready employment; fields that were
wastes or pleasure grounds were planted, and
became productive; every principle of industry
was developed; and the result was that in eight
years after the first institution of the tariff we
had 6etfcr and cheaper tc0OenS and cOk0ns, better
wagons ana carriages, better agricultural imple-
ments, anG better every thing we wanted to use
or wear, except the finest and costlies cutlery
than we had before the Emperor's tariff edict, and
all at much lower prices. Sir, (he emphaticay
concuded,) had it not been for the Polish tariff,
the Russian soldiery would have reached the cita-
del OF Warsaw, at the termination of our last
contest with them, much sooner than they did !;
for, tell YOU good, stG tariG teaches the citi-
zens OF country to rely upon their own energies,
inspires the national body with confidence in its
own resources-and if YOU husband these, you
will fill the national cofers'

The sentiments entertained by the Wings Of
Ohio towards IlENRy CLAY, as referred 10 i'm the
subjoined paragraph from the Ohio Slates1oarnal
OF the 29th ult. are in accordance with the gene.
raj feeling of the GREAT PARTY ihrouohoutthe
country. At every Wing meeting of which we
have seen any account for year past at which
an expression Of preference was given for any one
as the Wing candidate for the Presidency, but one
man has been named, and that man was Henry
CLAY. The Ohio State Journal says:
at must have been observed that every declas
ration of mass and delegate Conventions ,hroupf-
out this State. have been in favor of the Great
american Statesman OF Ashland. We dotilot re-.
member having seen an expression, in township,
county, or district meeting, or meeting of dele.
gates, (and nearly every one has spokcn) but
what has been clear and explicit commentator
OF Henry Clay, and an expression of confidence
III the election Of this tavorie of all who are ad.
vocating a complete restoration and establishment
of the policy of Washington and the Fathers of
the Republc-the American policy and Republic
can principles. There is but one feeling among
us in Ohio; and for this reason we have neglect
ed to copy all the expressions of public feeling,
but have been content with recording those of
Congressional Conventions. Our friends in other
States may rest assured that Henry Clay will
carry this State, against Van Buren, or any other
single Locoioco, by majority as overwhelming
as did Gen. Harrison in 1902
We may remark that in this unity of feeling
for Henry Clay, so strongly cherished by the
Wings of Ohio, they shelving not only well
deserved confidence IN the first Statesman Of the
country, but also generous recollection of the
noble conduct of Mr. Clay upon the occasion of
Gen. ilarrson's nomination AT Harrisburg. Who
can forget the magnanmous letter read to the
Convention by delegate from kentucky, in
which the patriotic writer called upon that body
TO set aside his name if it should appear TO
them that the great object of the country's re-
demplion might be better achieved under the aus
pices of anotherl With what promptness-with
what a cordial spirit Henry Clay entered into the
support of Gen. Harrison, all are familiar. II
this noble devotion TO the great cause of 1910
that rallied the mighty array in that memorable
year and infused ardor, hope and confidence into
the Wings. Ohio remembers now, and will re.
member in 1914, what Kentucky did for her fa-
vorite son in 1910; and she will repay the debt
to the full in the manly emulation with which ge-
nerous minds delight TO strive.-BaH. american.

y BAID HUMBUG.

a stout, hearty looking young man, who might
lind better employment, was exhibiting in our
streets,a few days ago, a Bear, without arms
born so, it was said, but which had very much
the appearance Of having been cut IF. 1t was a
most Pitable and disgusting spectacle, and it
would be hard to say which of the two was really
the greater show-the animal or the man. The
poor Bear, we understand, was represented to be
native ot our mountains but the exhibitor, we
are glad to learn, was not. AS the fellow had a
travelling wagon seemingly fitted up specially
Tor his companion and himself, no doubt he is on
a money-making excursion through the country,
and therefore it may be well for to give him a

Henry Clay and the Mgmoha.-'rhe subjoined
paragraph, from the Maryla land Republican, is neat
ly and appropriately expressed. I, embodies cor.

full, appropriate and touching, in the presentation

LA is ndtirc of the North American forests, and
magnificent evergreen of noble heigh, and beau

Clay's glorious life has been devoted to his whoe

merican people. He sprung from the American
soil poor ploughboy, and by perseverance has i'm.
printed his enlarged and fruitful schemes of poll.

The hearts of his grateful countrymen BY per

~" We regret TO see that the ''Sou,h Western
Virginian," sterling Wing paper published at
Abingdon, has been suspended for want of proper
support from its patrons, many of them hav-
ing paid their subscriptions for years, and the re-
ceiPts consequently not being sufficient to defray
expenses. Two papers at Leesbnrg, one Wing
and the other Democratic, have also suspended
within short time past, for similar reasons and
several others in the State have declared that they
will he compelled soon 10 do SO, unless greater
punctuaity is observed on the part of their debt
ors The times are certainly trying upon news
paper publishers. Their expenses are heavy and
must be met punctually, while their debts are
small, and SO widely dispersed, that they cannot
afford TO send after them, nor indeed, can they, in
many cases, even coerce payment. Their only
bond upon distant subscribers, in the general is
their honor and that is but too often found to be
irail reliance. These things, however, must work
good in the end. They must operate to break up
the Indiscrlminate system of credit whic prevails
In newspaper establishments. We have, our
selves, suffered sorely from this cause; and we
are determined to take measures TO guard against
such loss in future, even at the hazard of, somo-
times, being thought iliberal.
