The last Courier des Etats Unis IN Y.,l(which, to
please M Guizot and his master, never preermts any
opportunity OF witng the administration on account of
the Mexican war; is forced thus to speak OF the Pres
dents message
Taken together this state paper is remarkable pro
to defend which its great obec-has been stated and
sustained in II with ability The rights OF the Uni
ted States against Mexico taken up in it a ORC, and
pleaded, point by point with method and logic that
might make the reputation OF statesman, and most GER
tanly that OF perfect of business The President
reviews minutey all the facts apperanng to the quarrel
from the separation OF Texas TO the date OF the first col
sion and all these historical events interinked
and 80 clearly arranged to the United States 10
emerge from the im5roglio white and pure snow
Again, audng TO the discussion OF the question Of the
boundary OF the Rio Grande, the editor says An Tins
portion OF the message handled with the hand OF mas
ter II will reverse the Judgment OF the tribunals Of Eu
rope, and restore the OF America before Of
the principal federal journals OF New York have frankly
admted-:-we mean the Courier and Enquirer and the
Commercial Advertiser And this admission and the sim

From the Baltimore Argus
Encouraging Home Industry.
We learn that the Union Manufacturing Com
pany OF this State, imported seven cases Of ma
chinery by the ship Leila, which lately arrived from
Liverpool, and that one two more OF our manu-
featuring companies have made similar imporations
within the last three or four months How and
why is this! Cannot American machinsts supply the
demand OF their factories when they are acknowledged
TO surpass the machnsts of every part of the Garth in
the perfection to which they have advanced that branch
OF the mechanic artsl And do the wings call this pro
teeting American industry" and supporting American
mechanics~ The duties machinery the same
under the new that they were under the old tariff hence
the wings cannot charge these mportaons to the effects
OF the latter measure but TO that ncurabe disease pre-
yaing among them, which always makes them practice
me rererSe OF what they preach
In Boston and New York, these wing manufacturers
have made heavy importaions of machinery during the
last twelve months and aiuly contrved to introduce
them free OF duty, by calling them "modes OF
chnery-a "modeis" having been left duty free under
the wing tariff of 1912 Upwards of hundred thousand
dollars worth have been thus passed duty free through
those protection preaching wing factory owners whilst
their own countrymen able furnish them with as
good If not better article at about the same price
What have the wings hereabouts to say of this No

irhen rs oil on has side, the case of "models of
machinery but they seized with worse than hydro
phobic spasms at the bare suggestion of extending it
other classes When they thus pass By the doors of
American machnists and send their money to England
to purchase English machinery for the use of their acto
res, 1T is time for them to talking in favor of
'proection" they seldom practice and acknowledge
that whgry is both the largest and smallest humbug that
the intelligence of the nineteenth century has yet been
trfed with. -s&
