Wheat flour consumed in Manu(actories.-Fe
persons are probably aware Of the quantity Of
wheat flour consumed in our manu- factories. tits
stated in the report Of the Commissioner of Pat
ents, on what is called good authority, that the
manufactures Of New England, in 1912, used
more than 100000 barrels Of flour in making
starch and sizing for theg goods. being larger
quantity than was exported to England in the
same period. The single Stale Of Massachusetts
in tho same period consumed more than was export
ed to all foreign countries 1t is supposed that the
consumption of wheat flour for these purposes,
in lS43 was much greater.

dients 10 save their shutting candidate from the con-
tempt Of all sngle-mlhded honest men. The weakest
trick Is that OF the New York tribune which, finding il
impossible to explain OF reconcile the inconsistencies Of
Clays last letter goes back to his leerto Raleigh n
C., Of April 49, 1874 containing histTue opinions on
that question: What palpabe attempt 10 cheat the
people In the South the whig press makes every at
tempt to smother Clay letter to Raleigh while his la
test letter on texas is given conclusive evidence Of
his devoiionto Annexation. In the same manner his
letter to Cope in favor The present Tariff is superce

Is not the tendency of wealth 10 arisocacy and does moi

not the effect Of Protectce Tariff only to bloat the

when advocating the Sub-Treasury law, Van Buren,
made the casual remark that the measure moi
and unried as many OF the most prosperous nations
OF the earth, got along without National Bank, as
fsca agent. But now, we find Henry Clay advocat-
ing National Bank because ENGLAND has one
because the mostdespotic and yranizng nations in the
world have them! Hear what Clay has says in his
Raleigh speech
"The necessity for a national institution does not re-
suit merely from the existence of local Institutions but
it arises from the fact that all the great commercial
nations OF the world have their banks. ENGLAND
France, Austria, Russia, Holland and all the GREAT
powers Of EUROPE. have their National Banks"
WE'LL here is the great leader OF the British Wing
party, advocating National Bank because YICTO-
RIA has one the EMPEROR Of Austria, and all the
other TYRANTS have them! And ifCay gets into
power nell want CROWN and a THRONE be-

tax and oppress our people, because England does the
same to hersl We must have Bank TO FEE our No
bility-our Clay's Websters, Ewings, &C., because
the Artstocracy Of Europe are kept up in that wayl
Most certainly "If we cannot have BLACK slaves
we must have WHITE ones!" is the rallyiug cry OF
Federalism! But the Democracy are aroused i they
have scented these monsrousschemes from afar & they
arenow rallyng from town and city, from mountain
