TAKE WARNING,

Every day brings to lieh, moro folly the
heretofore partially concealed put poses 81 the
Polk ank Teras adminis,rstion in regard TO
the Wing Tariff Of is42. II was policy in
Mr. Polk To keep this question IN the back
ground, till the 'TeI,s lniquitv' was dispos
cd Of IN part a, lesst Having got the vote
Of his party IN Congress on this question
without much division, his organ has not fail
ed since To declare that the tafiff musi be
cot down, and TO announce from time 10 time
that Mr. Polk's Secretary OF the Treasury
Was labouously engaged in ptepailnga plan
Tot It's reduction, or what 10 the same
thing 10 elect, ils destruction. Latierly
something more tangible has appeared. 1t
IA a bulletin from the secretary himself-and
copied into the Union, the Government pa
per al Washington, from paper IN Mlssis-
spp,, 10 the editor OF which Mr. Secretary
Walker had made the communication. The
Union endorses 1t, and also ini,maies that
the ACCOMPLISHMENT Of the sub-ireasuty ~
another purpose in contemplation by the par.
". Tie following is the bulletin copied
from the Union;
LETTER FROM HON. r. j WALKER
Extract Of a letter 10 The editor Of The Ms
Hs',pp,an, dated June 8, 1915
j, would be impossible 70 give you any
adequate conception Of the labors Of this
office, (Secreiary OF Treasury suffice it to
say, ! never have any leisure. At present,
my chief occupation 10 with the details Of
the tariff IT MUST sE RrrucIp TO rBE REV
rSus STANDARD. Ever truly yours,
II. J. WALKER.
! And now what is the effcc, upon Some OF
the interests OF the people OF this design so
l>-.l 4 Ill n,l H..
many people We say 1t IL injurious And
how Last year al this time our state was
foil ofthe agents of the manufacturers Of
wool, who psldfor full blnod merino some
where in the vicinity Of 40 cents per pound
II Is not so now, and why Because the
larger manu- faciu rers OF the article, know Mr.
Folks hostility and that great share Of his
| party to the protection upon this article and
the fsbrics made from i,,and before they could
turn their cloth into money they expect TO
/ see our ports open to British cloths They
see what hs organ says, and what the Sec
/ te,ary is doing. They see how she party
have pushed on their purpose in regard to
annexation, o purpose no more strongly de
clared before the election than was hostility
10 adequate protection. That purpose has
been nearly accomplished, and why should
not the other, they reason.
The same tariff law Is in existence which
we had las, year when wool went of al much
better prices than it does this Then the
wool buyers expected The law to be perma-
ncni for they expected Mr. Clay would be
elected Mr. Polk by fraud and deception,
succeeded, and they have now, no such eI-
pectatlons, and shape their business accord
ingly. They DO no, send out men to buy
wool, and consequently there is no compe-
iition and only few sales, and those at re
duced prices And this is just what the
Wings predicted would be one of the conse
ouet ces of Folks election Had Mr. Clay
been elected there would have been an in
ctea sed demand and value even from last
wear paid for this, and for the plain reason
that permane Mt protection would have been
considered as settled matter.
The loco editors very generally are shoot
ing their light arrows at the iariff OF
1912. And VIVA, does this mean Why to
prepare their readers 10 go with Polk and
Walker TO reduce IT. They say 1t don't pro-
tcct wool !, dii so last year 10 reasonable
extent. Bot now 1t Is IN different hands and
exposed To "a different destiny. and tina,
which sibe result Of Folks election they
falsely attribute to sc ieois in the law These
things were not so, every body knows be-
fore The law fell into the hands Of the Phlis
tines.
We lay The shove letter from Mr. Polk s
Secretary OF the Treasury before our readers,
that they may sos what the Polk Slave party
are about. II is a sort Of official announce
menl, and OF course to be needed as SUCH
II wont tie found probably in the Polk prints
IN Vermont Just now.
