try supply of these leading and important articles
so essential to war" "That we have beenl too
long subject to the policy Of British merchants and
that il is time we should become little more A
mericanizcd and instead Of feeding the paupers and
labOrers Of England feed our own" That " acare-
full and judicous tariff is necessary, Z" to pay our
national debt, and afford us the means of that de-
fence within ourselves which the safety Of our
country depends and at last, though not least give
proper distribution to our labor, which must
prove beneficial to the happiness, independence and
wealth of the community"
AS an Offset to this, Mr.. Brown, of Indiana, mo-
we'd the following resolution:
That this House approve of the sentiments of
Henry Clay, expressed in his speech at the extra
session of Congress, 1841, as follows sc Carry out
the principles of the compromise act, look to rev.
enue alone for the support of our Government
Do not raise the question of protection, which l
had hoped had been put to rest. There is no ne
cessity for protection"
Great doubt was expressed whether Mr.. Clay
had uttered this sentiment.
A prominent member from Kentucky offered to
bet thousand dollars,-money np,-that it could
not be proved, and that it was not fact. The
remark was alleged to have been made in the Ex-
ira Session of 1912, but no one here had heard
it. In fact, he never said it,
On Wednesday, the question came up as the un-
finished business of Tuesday.
After innumerable questions of order, and yeas
nays, the vote rejecting Mr.. Browns resolution
was reconsidered-Yeas 1O2, Nays 10.
Mr.. Brown, after good deal Of confusion, OBJ
tanned leave to state that he had taken the extract
from the Ohio Statesman, paper of good standing
and not wishing to do Mr.. Clay injustice he had
written to the editor for the authority of his state
ment.
Mr.. White of KY, on leave, replied to Mr. Brown,
showing that the statement untrue

Syracuse, Dec. 10, 1912.
Dear Sir :-One circumstance has greatly helped
the sale of the Balsam of Wild Cherry here. A
young lady was magntized, and requested to pre-
scribe for her father, who has affection of the
lungs. She said there was medicine at lIough's
accompanied with small book, that would help
him. 1t was the Balsam of Wild Cherry. He
took it, and it cured him. She has since prescri-
bed it for another who has taken it with the same
result Yours, &C.,
