MR.. CLAY AND Mr.. POLK-THE TATIFF.
In the strong Tariff State Of Pennsylvania, the
friends of Mr.. Polk have had much trouble in re-
conciling the people to his free trade views. The
attempt has been boldly made, as elsewhere
North, to represent Mr.. P. as friend to protec.
ton and, in order to carry their point letter was
addressed to him from Pttsburg, by his friends,
asking his opinions Of the existing Tariff of 1912
The Pittsburg papers state that his answer has
been received, or an answer from an authorized
friend; but the party have withheld it from the
public. Mark that
The friends of Mr.. Clay at Pittsburg have ad-
dressed him letter upon the same subject, to
which he thus frankly responds:
ASHLAND, 29h June, 1914.
Dear Sir: have received your favor, stating
that our political opponents represent me as being
friend Of protection at the North, and for free
trade at the South; and you desire an expression
of my opinion, under my own hand, for the pur-
pose OF correcting this misrepresentation. am
afraid that you will find the effort vain to correct
Misrepresentation of me. Those who choose to
understand my opinions can have no difficulty in
clearly comprehending them. | have repeatedly
expressed them as late as this Spring, and several
times in ansewerto tters from Pennsylvania. NV
opinions, such as they are, have been recently quite
as free.y expressed at the South, as ever utter
ed them at the North. haze eueryaohere main
tained, that in adjusting Tariff for ,eucnue,
determinations ought to be made for projection ;
THAT THE TARIFF OF 1912 HAS OPERATED MOST
BENEFIcIALLY, and that AM UTTERLY OP-
POSED TO IT'S REPEAL. These opinions
were announced by me at public meetings in Ala
bama, Georgia, Charleston in South Carolina, ~.
Carolina, and in Virginia.

servant, H. CLAY.

THE ZOLL VEREIN TREATY-AND THE
TARIFF.

The ZOLL VEREIN TREATY-AND THE
TARIFF.
Every day seems to develop the total impracti-
cability of the Zoll Veren treaty as an election
eering humbug. The Spectator and the Madiso-
MAN had damper thrown upon their efforts to
turn it to account in the dissentient opinions of
the Locofoco press of New York, since which
they have been less Wanting of its merits. But
the most killing frost" has fallen upon the trea-
ty from quarter the least to be expected. A
Virgnan resident at Hamburg or Bremen has
been corresponding with the Richmond Enquirer
for some twelve or eighteen months, particularly
with aview to the promotion Of the tobacco grow
ing interests and Mr. Richie never fails to her.
aid his letters with flourish Of trumpets, evin-
cling the high estimate he places upon his CORE
spondent.
We know not, but we presume that Mr.. Rit-
chic endorses tho views of his correspondent in
tbs present instance. 1t will be seen from the
following notice which the Spectator takes of the
writer, that he is opposed TO the Zoll Verein
treaty, upon the ground that it will prejudice our
trade with those German States not included in
the League.
From the Spectator
"THE ZoLL VEREIN TREATY.-A writer in
the Richmond Enquirer, from Europe, signing
"Agricoa,' objects to the Zoll Verein treaty on
the ground that, at present, the commerce of the
United States is on more favorable footing in
Bremen and other towns of Germany, not inclu-
ded in the German Customs Union and the pri-
vileges granted in the treaty will therefore be
Determinations against them"
This is the "most unkindest cut of al' That
the treaty should be opposed by the tariff party was
to be apprehended but that opposition to it should
arise among those whom it was chiefly designed
to benefit, was never dreamed Of, and at once dis
arms the Globe, the Madsonian, and the Specta-
tor of weapon with which they had vainly ex-
pected to wound and cripple, if not destroy the
adversary. But mark how the Spectator parties
the objection of "Agricola." That paper says
9" No one doubts that the determinations con-
tanned in the treaty are against all other nations.
The terms of the treaty would give no advantages
without such an effect. But this, 70 far from be-
ing against the treaty, should be in its favor. 1t
WIZ iorce other nations to seek its advantages
anu, 10 obtain them, to give us the reciprocal adj
sah'ages 1t secures to US. The error is, in sup
ros."s 'nat ms treaty would be the end of all
cone,,ais w',h foreign nations 10 promote our
oo"'herciai relations with them: whereas. it is
my ''ie beginning of these arrangements"
rom hehce 1t isquite apparent, that the editor
OF the Spectator is in favor of the Zoll yerein
treaty. because he regards it as an incin;ent step
towards breaking down the protective sv,tem
We have heretofore shown that it mus, have Tho,

foreign trade with all nations who are debarred

holy horror from the Pennsylvania, because
George M. Dallas made political speech at
Reading on the Fourth. If it was reprehensble,
as the entire Locofoco press tried to make i an.
pear, that Henry Clay should travel before his

COL. POLK,S ANCESTRY.

II the political friends of Col. Polk get sore on
this subject, they have nobody to blame but their
own indlscreet leaders and editors. They provo
ked the investigation, by euogizing him as he

people of Tennessee as candidate for Governor.
spurious copy of the Meckenburg Declaration
was published, in which was interpolated the
name of Ezekiel Polk, his grandfather. as one of
the slgners. This reused the old Meckenburg
patriots, and one of them went forward and gave
the following certificate, which leaves not SO loop
