they were called who refused TO obey the

body, of the American people, be freed
from their association with that Of rebels
and insurrectionisis. The principle which

LETTER FROM MIR. CLAY.

The following letter is from the Hon.
Henry Clay to Us, in reply to certain in.
terrogatories, propounded by US in letter
dated August %, 1913, copy of which,
We insert below.
A portion of our letter was dictated Tor,
at least request was made, and the ques-
tions written ou', by one Of the most pro-
minent democrats in Georgia SO far, as
relates to the first two questions.
The views Of Mr.. Clay meet our most
hearty approbation-thcy are, indeed the
very sine qua non of ouR principles.
We hope those of our friends, who have,
inprivate conversation, pledged themselves
to US to support the Wing party, provided
an answer from Mr.. Clay should be re.
ceived-and which answer should be re-
pugnant to a high Protective Tarifl-will
not forge; then promises when they read
his letter.
Let every democrat read the leiier--aud
lei it not be charged upon Us any more, that
we are Z" high Protective Tariff" men.
The letter Of Mr.. Clay, dated 18th Sept.
las, did not reach US until the Bird inst
La Grange Herald.

/ DEAR SIR:-l received your favor, ad.
dressing some inquiries to me, IN respect
to the policy Of protecting American inle-
rests. On that subject have very fire..
quently publcly expressed my sentiments,
within the last two years. la the Senate
Of the I. States, early last year, fully
expressed my views, and " ha, said was
published. Abont the same time, com.

transmitted to a letter, addressed TO me,
by committee of the Legislature of v.
l FORK, which was also published. again
expressed my opinions, in reply 10 letter
which received from fellow citizen Of
Philadelphia, requesting me 10 state the
principles of the Wing party. A state.
ment of them, as understood by me, was
accordingly made, and il is now conspc.
uously published at the head of many
newspapers. The last expression OF nv
opinions, is contained in letter, which /
recently addressed TO Nashville, and Of
which ] now transmit you a copy. fyou
had seen these various expressions of the
opinions which | hold on the subject of
your letter, presume you would not have
deemed It necessary to address me.
The sum and substance Of what con.
ccIvc 10 be the true policy OF the IT, States,
10 respect to Tariff may be briefly stated.
In conformity with the principle announc-
ed IN the compromise act, think, that
whatever revenue is necessary to an e.
economical and honest administration of the
General Government, ough; TO be derived
from duties, imposed on Foreign imports.
And believe that, in establishing a Ia.
Mi OF those duties, such discrimination
ought TO be made, as will incidentally ac.
ford reasonable protection TO our national
interests.

and the act of 1888, commonly called the

modified them. The act which passed at
