THE LANGUAGE OF a WING

OurreadeTs have all doubtless beard of NJ.
NJ. Moan, who ior several years edited the New
York Evening Star, an influential and leading
whg organ. Since the Star discontinued Ma
jor Moan was appointed to judgship in the city
of New York, which he afterwards resigned, and
has again mounted the tripod, as editor of the
New York Times and Messenger. In that paper
of the 2lst July, the Major has the following
sensible remarks in regard to the tariff;
Mr.. Clay's friends seem to have staked his
success on a high protective tariff, and the Wing
press from Georgia 10 Maine, make the tariff
the cardinal issue of the game. They seem to
think, that because high tariff swels the reve-
nue., that it works well for the county. That
tariff which brings more money into the national
Golfers than is required for the economical wants
| of the government, works TO the injury of the
country; it is an indirect tax upon the people TO
supply more than the wants of the Goyenment,
and leads 10 waste and extravaganza When
the Meuimack company can divide On annual
profit as it does Of tUeaty per cent. on a capital
of two millions, the tariff is too high, besides,
special protection TO any single inteest, is in
compatible with the freedom of our Institutions.
The South complains of the tariff, WHY compel
the South to submit TO tax 10 bendft few
rich manufacturers at the North? Tho South is
willing to support tariff for revenue, with Incl
dental protection. The South viii support the
compromise act. Why not close in with the
South and settle the question at once?
Mr., Clay in April, 1874, uses The following
language in his speech at Charleston, s. c,
g | am bold TO say that during my entire SER
vice in Congress, since the Compromise was
passed; there never had been an effort to violate
II which had not met with my prompt and ear
nest resistance. Il was important that the true
character OF that compromise should be under
stood. IT PROVIDED FOR A GRADUAL REDUo-
TIoN OF DUTIES DOWN TO 90 PER CENT"
And yet in another letter Of 29th June, 1914,
we have the following declarations
{" My opinions, such as they are, have been
recently quite as freely expressed at the South,
as ever uttered them at the North. haze
ereryrkere maintained that in adjusting a Tariff
for rereaue, determinations ought to be made
for Protection; THAT THE TARIFF OF lS42 HAS
OPERATED MOST BBNEEIcIALLY, and that | am
UTTERLY OPPOSED to its repeal"
tits a m stake to suppose, thai high protdc-
tive tariff is popular with the masses; the manu-
facturers, the iron masters, the stockholders like
pit; the farmers do not, and the operatives will
not sacrifice political principle, to sustain a
high tariff. Look at Pennsylvania, a decided
tariff state; the vote will be given OF that State
to Polk, they prefer his tariff for revenue, and
the principles of the compromise TO the present
high protective tariff. Thcy go for permanency
for security, and are therefore in favor of mode
ration. Mr.. Clay's sheet anchor was the com
promise act, and he should have held on to IT,
The very fact tnat it IcdS a compromise, acceded
TO by all, gave it its strength; but the presses in
the interest OF the manufacturers, make a high
tariff the platform Of Mr. Clay to stand upon,
and they scout any compromise, We shall sec
the result of this policy.
Nor FOR THE PUR11C EyE!-The Wing press
are trying hard to play off their old game Of de-
ception which they found so successful in 1910,
MIR. White of Indiana, made speech few
days since in New York, in which he declared
the wings TO be in favor of National Bank, and
that the ''whig orator, or editor who denies the
fact is either ignorant or deceptive" Some of
the whg journals, knowing that Bark is as
''senCh in the nosrils of the people" lave care
fully kept this part of Mr.. Whites remarks from
the "pubc eye" by emitting it in their publ
cation of his speech.--The people can't be de
ceived twice at the same game, they know that
an sold Fashioned National Bank" is the dar-
ling object Of speculating whjggery, they know,
too, that Hamilton spoke the truth when he de-
clared a Bank TO be great political machine;
and it is the hopes of being able to establish
and WELD its immense power, that causes the
wings to struggle so hard, with Mr., Clay as
leader, to reconstruct another one of their ''po-
litjcal machines" Let the people arouse to
their danger, for, to use Mr.. Clay's own Ian
guage when he was the advocate of the people,
National Bank is dangerous to their liberties
