CONGRESS.

In the Seaale, to day after the transac-
ton Of the usual morning business, MIR.
Woodbury. finished his remarks on the
subject Of the present tariff and protec-
tive policy. He examined the rates of
duties under the present tariff somewhat
in detail, showing by comparison. that in
many cases they exceeded by 100 per
cent. those under the act of l929-an
act, the enormities Of which were so
great as to threaten the permanency OF
tie Union. He argued, too, that if the
present exclusive protective system
that is. protection to the manufactur
at the expense Of these engaged in far
ming. planting, aud shippins-was per-
sisted in, the evils of it would be even
tually visited upon the manufacturers
themselves; that it would work their de-
struoton. The unnatural stimulation
gwen TO that branch of industry, and the
high per centages consequent, would
cause such diversion of capital from
other pursuits to that, as to involve the
manufacturers in common ruin. Mr..
WIS speech was considered the most "a
Bile he ever delivered in that body npon
this or any other subject.
After he concluded, Mr.. Huntington
obtained the floor, and will address the
Senate upon the subject to morrow
The Senate spent short time in execu-
tive session; what they did, we have not
ascertained.
The discussion on the report of the
committee of Elections, on the case Of
the members elected by general ticket,
was continued in the House to-day. The
report of the committee was sustained
by Aiessrs. Beardsley. George W. Jones
and Cobb; and opposed by Messls. Caleb
Smith, Order, aud Newton. Mr.. ia
cob Thompson had the floor when the
House adjourned.

The painful controversy between the

Extract from Mr.. Clay's Speech
on American Industry, in the
House of Representatives,
March 80 and 81, 1924:

'Two classes Of politicians divide the
people of the United States. According
10 the system Of one, the produce Of for.
eign industry should be subjected to
no other lmpost than such as may be ne
cessary to provide public revenue; and
the produce of American industry should
be left to sustain itself, if it can, with NO
other than that incidental protection, in
its competition, lat home as well as abroad
with rival foreign articles. According
to the system of the other class. whilst
they agree that the imposts should be
mainly, and may, under any modifca-
ton, be safely relied on as fit and con-
venent source of public revenue, they
would so adjust and arrange the duties
on foreign fabrics as to afford a gradual
but adequate protection to American in
dustry, and lessen our dependence on
foreign nations, by securing certain
and ultimately a cheaper and better SUD.
ply oil our own wants from our abundant
resources.
The speech from which this extract is
taken was mainly in reply to our disiin
guished representative, Phil. p. Barbour,
who, according to Mr., Clay, was among
that class of politicians advocating the
first proposition. Mr.. Clay, as his
speech fully shews, classes himself a.
mong the advocates Of the latter. In a
subsequent part OF this speech. after Civ
ing vivid sketch of the adverse state of
our country, he proceeds:
Is there no remedy within the reach
OF the government? Are we doomed to
behold our industry langu:sh and decay.
yet more and more? But there is a
remedy, anC that remedy consists in
modifying our foreign policy, and in
adopting genuine Americas SYSTEM
We must naturaliZe the arts in our
country; and we must nataraize them
by the only means which the wisdom Of
nations has yet discovered to be effectu-
al; by adequate protection against the
otherwise overwhelming influence of for
eIgners. This is only TO be accomplished
by the establishment of trriff to the con-
sideratlon of which | am now brought
And what is a tariff? :
The sole object Of tariff is to tax he
produce OF foreign industry with the view
OF promoting American industry. The
tax is exclusively ievelled at foreign in

rect purpose OF the tariff. fit subjects
any part of American industry to bur.

IS altogether incidental and perfectly
voluntary.
1T has been treated as an imposition
OF burdens upon one part of the commu-
