CoLuMBIA, TENNESSEE, I
June 18th, 1914.

Dear Sir:-I have reeeiged recently several
letters in reference TO my opinions on the sub
ject of the Tariff, and among others yours Of
the S0th ullimo. My opinions on this subject
have often been given TO the public. They are
TO be found in my public acts, and in the dis
cussions in which have participated.
am in favor of tariff for revenue, such a
one as will yield sufficient amount to the
Treasury 10 defray the expenses of the gov
eminent, economically administered. In adj
justing the details of revenue tariff, ! have
heretofore sanctioned such moderate discrimi-
mating duties as would produce the amount OF
revenue needed, and at the same time afford
reasonable incidental protection to our home
industry. am opposed TO a tariff for protec-
ton merely, and not for revenue.
Acting upon these general principles, it is
well known that gave my support to the pol
icy of Gen. Jackson's administration on the
subject. voted against the tariff act Of 1928.
| voted for the act of 1882, which contained
notifications Of some of the objectionable pro-
visions of the act of 1898. As member of
the Committee Of Ways and Means of the
House Of Representatives, gave my assent 10
bill reported by that Committee in December
1882, making also determinations in the impo-
sition Of the duties which it proposed. That
bill did not pass, but was superseded bv the
bill commonly called the Compromise Bill, for
which | voted.
In my judgment it is the duty Of the govern
ment TO extend, as far as may be practicable TO
do so, by its revenue laws and all other means
within its power, fair and just protection to all
the great interests Of the whole Union, embra-
cling agriculture, manufacture, the mechanic
arts, commerce, and navigation. heartily
approve the resolutions upon this subject, pass
ed by the Democratic National Convention,
lately assembled at Baltimore.
am, with great respect,

MIS- L u

JAMES X. POLK.
j. K. KANE, ESQ.,, Philadelphia,
This is deliberate attempt TO make the
people throughout the Union believe that Mr.
Polk is friendly to protection. We hail the eff
fort, deceptive and unprincipled as it is, for the
undoubted testimony it affords Of The over-
tchetming strength Of This great principle tcifh
the american people. Mr. Polk appeals 10 his
public acts and public discussions for the evil
dence of his friendship TO a Protective Tariff
We have already cited some of his declarations
of Incorporating and steady hostility to such
Tariff, and shall frequently find occasion to
refer TO them hereafter. For the present we
must content ourselves with the following par
agraph introducing letter which Mr. Polk ad-
dressed TO the people Of Tennessee while he
was a candidate for Governor of that State

WINcHEsTER, MAY 30, 1913.

To The People of Tennessee:
The object which | had in proposing to Gou-
ernor Jones, al Carrollville, on the 18th of
April last, tha&we should each write out and
publish our views and opinions on the subject
oil the Tariff, was, that our respective positions
might be distinctly known and understood by
the people. That my opinions were already
fully and distinctly known, could not doubt.
Ihad steadily during The period ,cas rep
resentatiue IN Congress been opposed 10 a pro-
tectire policy, as my recorded rotes and pub
nc speeches prove. Since retired from Con-
gress had held the same opinions In the
present canvass for Governor had avowed nv
opposition TO the tariff act OF the late WING
Congress, as being highly protective in its
character and not designed by its authors as
rerenue measure had avowed my opinion
In my public speeches that the interests of the
country and especially of The producing and ex-
porting States-required its repeal and the res
toraIon OF the principles of the compromise
tariff act OF 1888.
Does not this letter directly and explicitly
contradict the impression intended to be given
by his letter to Mr. Kane? This attempt at
deception only adds hypocrisy to false opinions.
1t will not succeed.-Courier.
