COL. POLK AND PROTECTION

The following from the Albany Ar.
gus sets Col, Polk right before the people
on the subject of Projections:
The wings are taken so completely a.
back by the nomination of Gov. Polk,
that they have already resor,ed,o lalschood
the last kick of despair. They boldly
assert that Gov Polk is in favor of free
trade and against all protection to Amcri-
can industry, TO prove this they have al
ready taken garbled extracts from his
speech which he delivered in the House
of Representatives in January 1888 Here
is an extract from that speech which will
eilcctually silence all these ISLANDERS.

COUN1RY.o
1t will be perceived that so far from de-
nying protection, he advocates a bill Civ
ing ample protection to the manufac,u-
ring interests.
The truth lies in nutshell Gov. Polk
is in favor Of moderate du,ics, because
thus only can AobiHty be secured. Man
ufacturcs want slcadincss in the laws, and
then there Is no fear but what they will
flourish in this country. But from the ma
turc of our People, it is impossible for
them TO acqulcsce in Il system Of high du-
tics, and as n consequence, at every cleo
ton the tariff becomes the football Of poll
licans, Is this state of things desirable!
Is it no, better to have the tariff settled
by mutual compromise and agreement, and
then to remain as stable DIS the constitution
Of our country? Would not the manulac-
lurcr and the laborer be thus alike benefit
ted
If the tariff is once settled on acknowl- |
edged principles of justice and imparliality,
there can be no fear of Il change. Unjust
stand, because it rests upon justice. We
may say of Justice as Of truth, "Thc cier-
nal years OF God are hers"
We would ask Americans, withou, dis
inction Of party, if the ground taken by
iov. Polk on this yeXed question is not
he true and statcsmanlikc policy. Nci-
her is it sectional. 1t would harmonize
he somewhat conflicting interests of our
widely extended confedcracy, and make
The People of every state feel that they
were ruled not only by bcncIicent but
Just system. A feeling like this, would be
not only bond of happy and enduring un.
ion among the states, but of steady and
prosperity among the People

ENTHUSIASM or THE DEMOC-

Henry Clay is doomed man. A de-
gree of enthusiasm exists among the de-
mocracy never before Witnessed. As
soon as the nomination was announced in
Baltimore, national salute was fired on
Federal Hill, with the piece taken from
the British by General Washington at
the battle of Princeton, in III. Anoth-
or salute Of 100 guns was fired in the
Park, New York City, with piece taken
by General Montgomery at St. Johns in
no, and another Of 100 guns at Albany
with one Of the pieces taken from Bur-
goync by Gates at Saratoga.
These pieces arc interesting relics OF
our Revolutionary struggle. They once
belonged to the famous Duke of Marlbor-
ough, and were at the celebrated battle
of Blcnhcim, where, as tie poe. Laureate
of Great Britain says:
"Great deed. the DIXIE Of Marlborough won,
On that eveniiul day"

The Wings, although they affect conliden-
