Tn his late Letter to Mr. Kane, Mr. Polk refers the
public to his former acts for his present opinions, and
the above do show them. But let us see what else
he has done? In the session of 1882 and 33, he was
in Congress, and was a member of the Committee of
Ways and Means who reported bill which Mr. Polk
says lie was in favor Of And what that bill p
The following is The provision of the bill touching
the article Of wool:
"Unmnnufnclured, not exceeding cents cost per
pound Rec; exceeding 9 cents, to March 2, 1884,
IS per cent.---to March q lS35, rs per cent and
after that date S per cent
Report Of Committee Of Ways and Means, page 7.
On the 22d of January, 1898 Mr. Polk made
speech in support of this bill, and upon the provision
of the bill above quoted he said
" The wool growers consider the duty upon for
eign wool as important to their prosperity This
opinion is, TaPpretend, founded IN error Very lit

WHY? Why do not the Polk papers in Yer

If; his report, as member OF the Committee of
Ways and Means in the session of 1929; his ad-
dresses to the people ofTennessee upon the Tariff;
and his speeches reported by himself and printed in
the iocooco papers of Tennessee at the time ne was
candidate for Governor, l, and years ago? Why
are they no: published in the Star and Patriot? NJ
Polk in his letter TO Mr. Kane refers the people to the
speeches and reports for his definite opinions, but
yet his advocates in Vermont do NOT, dare nor pub
fish them.
The Wing papers publish Folks opinions in full
the papers which support him in Vermont suppress
nearly every thing he has said upon the Tariff. When
will the Star and Patriot publish Mr. Clay's Letter,
written upon the day the day after the defeat Of
McKay's bill, or his letter of the 10Th June lS44?
