2. In imposing duties on particular arti
cles, the tariff of 1912 systematically tax
es the cheaper kinds at higher rate It
does this by minlmums and specific duties,
the effect of which is not apparent on the
face of the law, bat will be illustrated by a
few instances.
The apparent rate of duty on undyed
cottons is thirty per cent. upon their va
Iue. But 1t is provided that all such ma.
nuflctures, not exceeding in value 90 cts.
per square yard, shall be valued at 20 cts.
The effect is TO impose uniform duty of
six cents on the article, whether it be
worth D cents or 20 cents the yard. The
real dnty is estimated by the Treasury De-
partment to be, on the average, equal to
40 per cent. By the statement of mer-
chants of this city to the House of Repre-.
sentatiyes, it appears to have been in eff.
feet from % TO $50 per cent. Of the gross
inequality of its operation, there can be
no dispute. A shifting costing 90 cents
or over, is taxed thirty per cent; one
costing l0scents, is taxed sirty per cent !.
and one costing 5 cents, is taxed 100 per
cent!
-Calicoes, not exceeding in value 80
cents. are valued at 80 cents; and those
not exceeding 50 cents, at 30 cents. A
fine and costly calico is taxed but 80 per
cent, while one of the more common kind
IN general use among the poorer classes,
and worth tea cents, would be taxed SO
per cent.
Salt is charged with a duty of 8 cents

Great we're the hearts and strong the minds,
OF those who framed, in high debate,
The immortal league Of love that binda
Our fair, broad Empire, State with state
And deep the gladn5ss o. the hour,
When, as the suspicious task was done,
In solemn trust the sword Of power,
Was given TO gloTy's unsPoiPd son'
Tha, noble race is gone; the suns
OF fifty years have risen and set;
But the bright links those chosen ones
So strongly forged, are brighter yet.
Wile-as our own free race Increase
Wide shall extend the elastic chain,
And bind, in everlasting peace;
State after State, mighty tram.

justing our Tariff, regard should be had
alone 10 revenue. Protection, they say,
should be left out of view altogether. Ac-
cording to this principle, was the Bill which
has just been rejected in the House, framed.
Having been thus brought Overwhelmingly
ing, as it did, the great cardinal principle of
the Loco Foco party on this subject, what
has been its fate ? Why, in a House, at
this time numbering about 800 members,
nearly two to one of which are Loco Focos,
the bill has been defeated By a majority of
sir rotes. What does this argue 2 Why,
clearly, that our opponents are afraid, when
brought to the test, TO practice what they
preach-that the people to whom the Rep
resentatives are responsible for their acts,
and who will sanction no measure that is in
furious to their interests, are in favor of the
Wing doctrine, the American doctrine, of
fostering our own manufactures, our own la
bor-and that in the approaching Presiden-
tial Election, they will take care to bestow
their suffrages upon an individual who has
spent a lifetime, nearly, in upaoiding this
doctrine. ea
The Senate have been nearly all day in
Executive session, and~it is very likely they
have still had under consideration the case
of MIR. TAPpAN, who, you are aware, is the
person, who suffered a copy of the treaty to
gotout of his hands and to reach the Office
of the New York Evening Post, where it was
published, whilst the injunction of secresy
was resting upon the proceedings of the
Senate on that subject. The investigation
of the matter has been going on for some
time, and | believe it is still undecided what
steps the Senate will take in the matter.
The indisposition which | stated a few
days ago Mr.. CLAY was then laboring under,
proved TO be trivial, and he has, for a day or
two past, been moving about apparently en-
tirely recovered. He will leave here in a
day or two for his home at Ashland. A
thousand blessings, and among them those of
good health and animated vigor of mind and
body, 60 with him! R.

A TREATY OF ANNEYATTON
Concluded between the United States OF
America and the Republic of Texas, at
Washington, the 18th day of April, 1914.
The people of Texas having, at the time
of adopting their Constitution, expressed by
an almost unanimous vote their desire TO be
incorporated into the Union of the United
States, and being still DESTROYS of the same
with equal unanimity, in order to provide
more effectuaIly for their security and pros
perity; and the United States, actuated sole
" by the desire to add to their own securi.
ty and prosperity, and to meet the wishes Of
the Government and people Of Texas, have
determined TO accomplish by treaty objects
SO important to their mutual and permanenI
welfare.
For that purpose the President of the U

be paid in the redemption of the exchequer
bills, shall exceed the said sum of ten mil

MR.. CLAY AND ]. c. NGERSOLL..
Extract from the Washington correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia United States Gaz-
cite.
You viii observe hat Mr.. J. G. Ingersoll
has felt himself authorized TO charge Mr..
Clay with running a race of reputation of
protection to home industry with Mr.. Van
Buren,. This is a serious charge 10 be made
by one in MIR. Ingersolrs position,
MIR. Clay was in the House of Represen-
tatives yesterday when Mr.. Ingersoll coming
up and addressing him, Mr.. C. said, sMr. In
gersoll, by what authority do you say that |
have r~epudiated or abandoned the principle
of protection?" Mr.. |. replied; upon the
authority of a gentleman of integrity, a per-
sonal friend of yours and a high rariff man,
who informed me that be had seen a letter
written by you about the time of the pas
sage of the compromise act, in which you
agreed TO give up the principle Of projection.
Mr.. Clay II is a falsehood. My speeches at the
lime, my speeches and letters since, prove the
contrary.
Mr.. 1.-THE gentleman who informed me did
not see the letter, but received his information
iropl one who had seen TIT letter. and is a wor-
thy friend of yours.
Mr.. C.-Jew or Gentle, Turk or Christian,
present my compliments TO him, and say thai the
charge is utterly untrue, and tell him to produce
The letter,
The above Is the substance, and as near a:
can be recolIected, the very words of the con-
versation. Mr.. Ingersoll has made the charge
he must produce the proof or retract, as
doubt not he will. You will observe that he re.
lies on hearsay and secondhand evidence, and
even that will fail him.
The Evansville journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1834-184?, 1844-05-23

A letter ffom Washington says-Mr. Tap
paa avowed in the Executive session of the
Senate that he had sent the Texas treaty to
the New York Evening Post. 1t is under
stood that he made an apology, and thai the
Senate also passed a severe resolution o
censure.
