In every thing but the Tariff-and in certain quarters,
not excepting ihat-the Wing leaders will attempt to
play the two-faced game which they played in 1910.
Clay himself shows two or three faces On the Tariff TO
suit the South, the East, and the West. He makes no
honest declaration as to a National Bank, though at the
commencement Of the last session Of Congress, lie pro-
posed the revival of Biddle's rotten concern. lie now
merely says he l. in favor of a .sound national currency"
as # gold aud silver were not sound, lie thus gives
the cue 10 his supporters, who express opinions modified
by locality. For instance, the Albany Evening Journal
the federal organ published at New York, r~epudiaies a
National Bank IN the strongest terms. On the 2lst of
March. leii, !, spoke rs follows:
The locoiocos are greatly distressed for n :. National
Bank issue. They have SO long had the benefit of the

truth Is we cannot afford 10 CRAFTY them in this respect.
