one offering protection 20 American industry
The question a. to the views OF Mr.. T.. in "
gard to this measure, was by Mr.. Harding
I'VE thinh) pa, TO the democracy upon TN
floor Of congress and what was the answer
The democratic MIR. PAYNE answered ior Nj
Folk and for the Democratic party also, and
stated that ,lyc PARTY rrrupfATrp THr poo
rnisE or PROTECTION, ard that NJ. PolE'
rieirs ircre N accordance w,h Mose Of N,
pariV upon thus question. If injustice was
Done either 10 the party or Mr.. Polk, why was
there no, 70 he found upon the floor OF the
House Tariff democrat, bold enough 10
denv il Perhaps the reason may I've found
in the following coast, which was recently
drank a, the Locofoco, Polk, Dallas, Texas
and yiciosy dinner given to Mr.. Pickens.
"our Republican Brethren imoushou, tho
tnion-Wc rely upon their rLrGpTFo FAITH
m r,t,rvr rs FROM An opIets TARIrr, but il
| we should be disappointed in this, we will re.
ly upon ourselves alone and leave the conse-
auences TO God"
| And what said Mr.. Henley, q Loc0foco
member Of Congress from Indiana, bu, shor
time since, in reference TO the Tariff bill re-
ported by Mr.. Mckay Read ii, Tariff men,
and then bekeve, II you can, that the princi-
pie Of Protection is just as safe with the
d.ocolocos as with The Wings Mr.. Henly,
upon the occasion referred to, said
+" The Democratic party has been tainted
with fear OF passing'ite tariff bill can tell
gentlemen that the PRESENT TARIFF WILL RE
REDUCED as soon rs we (theDemocracy)ARE IN
FUiL POWER, We very well knew that 1t
was no use 10 pass il in the House now, as
WE have not the majority in the Senate. G're
us a majority there, and then sec u ,ce do not
pass he bill! We w,H do IL. for such IS our
purpOse---Sueh is our resoiuie determination y
Now i { Mr.. Polk is the friend Of Protection
which his friends in Vermont claim that he
is-he certainly is a most singular leader for
a party avowing sentiments so entirely OPP
posed to the Protective system and who are
so hostile 10 the present Tariff. But why all
this shutting and twisting, and lodging ?
Why can they not come boldly 10 the mark,
and meet the true issue 1t IS this the
finest spun sophistries Of the finest furTed
Polk-at in Vermont cannot change or divert
the attention of tie people from it. We HAVE
NOW TARIFF. 1t was passed by the Wing
Congress in 1912. In its passage it was
desperately fought by these no,o ardent Tariff
its defeat by them was at many
lines rendered almost certain. Upon its be-
coming a law, all sorts of evil things were
said of tit was called the Wings Black
Tariff and evils innumerable were to follow
II its track. 1t has successfully commended |
gainst Notification of the South, and Loco
ocoism of the Norh-it has proved the pre-
Lotions of its enemies fase-and has in its
operations happily disappointed its most san
5uine friends. 1t found the county in a
tate of deep suffering and distress, and un-
Ter its influence the agHulturist, the manufac-
urer, the mechanic, and the tradesman have
Ill found their business reviving. 1t has
catered blessings innumerable all over the
and, and upon ALL CLAssEs-and the REPEAL
If this law is now called for by the destruc
ives OF the Locofoco party, 'ciM James X.
Polk at lis head. Upon this issue they 90 to
he people, and the only question presented
IN their decision, is-shaH The Tariff Of 1912
re repealed To this proposition HENRY
LAY, and cory Wing throughout the en-
ire country says NO! But put this ques-
ion to any Of the leaders of the Locofoco
tariff party of Vermont, and what says he
lie will forthwith berak out with long dis
eriation u pom democracy in general, and
very thing in particular. He will talk
bout horizontal tariffs, and revenue tariffs,
arifIs far revenue, with DETERMINATIONS
lcidentals, &c. and will conclude with a
rade against the federal Wings, lecture on
le moral unfitness Of Henry Clay for the
residency-and wind up by asserting iha,
2 Qhe LECTURER is democrat that Henry
lay has abandoned the doctrine of Pro,ec-
on, and that James X. Polk is better tariff ,
an than he now is: But happily, the opin-
ms Of Mr.. Polk are too well known, and this /
lmbuggery Of the Northern Locolocos will ,
ot take with the freemen of Vermont We {
'pend TO this, the following declaration of a
inciples made by Mr.. Polk, when, one year i
nee, he was the rival candidate of Gov. i
'nes (the Tariff candidate) for the votes of a
e ireemen Of his own State. Read the fol. (
wing, Tariff men, and Judge for yourselves a
neither it is, as the Loeofoco press of Yer /
or assert, true, that James X. Polk is as /
vorable to the principles of Protection as is
r. Clay. n
