Mr.. POLK'S LETTER.


COLUMBIA, Tenn. June 10, 1914.
DEAR SIR: ! have received recently
several lie tiers in reference to my opinion
on the subject Of the tariff, and among
others yours Of the 30th ultimo. Ny
opinions on this subject have been otter
given to the public. They are to be
found in my public acts, and in the pub
lie discussions in which | have partici,
pated.
| am in favor Of a tariff for revenue
such one as will yield sufficient amount
TO the treasury TO de(ray the expenses
of the government economically admin.
Istered In adjusting the details of a
revenue tariff, | have heretofore sane
TONED such moderate discriminating d.
lies, as would produce the amount ofrev
enue needed, and at the same time afford
reasonable Incidental protection 10 our
home industry. am opposed to q tariff
Tor protection merely, and not for reve-
nue..
Acting upon these general princpl es,
1t is well known that gave my supper;
to the policy of Gen. Jackson's admins,
tratlon on this subject. voted for the
act of 1882, which contained modifica-
lions OF some of the Objectionable pro-
visions of the act of 1923. As men,
Der orthe Commit ee of Ways and Means
oil the House Of Representatives, gave
assent to bill reported by that commit
tee IN December 1882 making further
notifications of the act Of 1928, and ma
king also determinations in the impo-
slton OF the duties which it proposed.-I
This bill did not pass, but was superse-
ded by the bill commonly called the COM
promise bill, for which voted.
In my judgement, it is the duty Of the
government to extend, as far as it may
be practicable to do so, by its revenue
avs and all other means within its pow.
er, fair and Just protection to all the
great interests Of the ooh0Ie Union, embra.
ling agriculture, manufactures, the me-
chanlc arts, commerce, and navigation.

On this subject passed by the democratic
national con vention lately assembled at

Is It possible that Tho great democratic
party arc about TO rally to the support Of
Tho Wing Distribution lOwi Ato lhoy
about TO come out IN favor Of a measure
which for years they have denounced os
runous audi dcslructiyol Tho passage
we have quoted from Gov p's letter,
leaves ample room for the iucrcncc that
he Is in favor of the distribution of the
proceeds Of the sales Of the public lands
among the states! Gov, Polk declares,
cmphatically, that he is in favor of a ~
riff that will yield a SUFFICIENT
notwithstanding all other sources
- dofray the expenses Of the govern.
mdVt, economically administered" Is
it not then, fair TO infer that Gov. Polk is
in (aror Of Distribution, when he rejects
revenue from all channels, other than
duties upon imports? Why, is obvious,
absolutely plain that Gov. Polk favors Dis
tribuilon.
Further on, Gov Polk says: " In ad-
justing the details of a revenue tariff,
have heretofore sanctioned such mode
rate Discriminating duties, as would pro.
duce the amount OF revenue needed, and
at the same time afford reasonable INCL
DENTAL PROTECTION to our home industry"
If this does not cover the ground that Mr..
Clay occupies on the tariff question, then
words have no meaning. In proof OF
which, we append to Gov. Folks letter,
an extract from Mr., Clay's great Raleigh
speech, and from which we take the fol-
lowing sentence: Let the account which
IS requisite for an economical administra-
lion Of the government, when we are not
engaged in war, be raised exclusively on
oreign imports: and in adjusting tariff
'or that purpose, let such discrimination
,e made as will foster and encourage our
,wn domestic industry" Well, if this |
loes mot satisfy the Democrats that James
(. Polk has come over to the support of
Mr.. CIay's tariff doctrines, facts have no
influence over their minds.
But we have extended this article to
much greater length than we ntended at

IoUIsIANA.--The returns are OF the
most cheering character The Wings
will undoubtedly have majority in the
Legislature, on joint ballot, Of eight-be-
ing gain of four. We have gained one
congressman certain, and possibly two.
There is yet reasonable hope that Bor-
deIon has beaten his democratic competi-
.or, Morse, although the returns received
at the latest dates at New Orleans, give
the latter gentema a majority Of too.
But the returns are unofficial and con-
Trajectory, and cannot be relied on. Com.
plete returns from the whole district
have not been received But even if
Judge Bordelon is defeated, the Wings
have gained noble triumph Gen. Bos.
sler, elected IN this same district a YEAR
ago, received a majority Of 500 votes
over his Wing opponent, In the Second
Congressional District, Thibadaux, whig,
has beaten Labranche, democrat, about
six hundred votes Last year Labranche !
was elected by one hundred votes-thus
showing Wing gain of seUen hundred
uo'es! All hail Louisiana! She stands |
forth proudly redeemed from the thraIl
