CLAY AND HUME on PRoTEcIIoS.-M Mr.. Clay in
his last speech in the Senate in 1872 just before he
resigned said
In England, all who have read the able report
of Mr.. Hume, Scottish member in the House of
Commons, must perceive, they seem 10 be giving up
specific duties; and the tendency the public mind
seems TO be, instead Of having a variety of specific
duties and variety Of ad vaorem duties TO have
permanent, fixed rate for all duties. am willing to
adhere 10 this great principle in the compromise act"
And what did Mr.. Hume, this Scottish member of
the House Of Commons, say in 1871! After showing
that the people of Great Britain from 1896 to l5il
had paid fifteen millions of pounds sterling on the
article of sugar by way of protection, he said
If this was not plumber Of the people by law for
the benefit of class only, he should like to know
what was plumber, He would say put end to pro-
lection by degrees if they would but do it, and get
out of bad system into good one. Looking at all
our experience in the reduction Of duties, from 1910
to the present time, (Sll) he deied any person TO
find instance of relaxation of protectionihat is
reduction Of import duties-ihat did not extend the
and promote the interest of the country
well as the comforts of the consumer"
GA correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
writing from Edinburgh, Scotland, gives sketch of
speech recently made in that city by the celebrated
MAcAULEY, whose admirable essays in the Edinburgh
Review have rendered his name famous. The late
change in the Ministry placed him in power "Puy
master General Of the Forces and hence if he retain
his seat in Parliament, member for Edinburgh it
must be by election To this end he addressed
his constituents, and in the course of his speech
"He congratulated the meeting on two great events
which Providence Lad brought into close alliance, The
relaxation Of tareS bread and honorable peace
with their kinsmen The Americans. The whole crowd
here appauded, and joined in it right heartily.
Words of kindness to country in strange land,
sweet music, only to be appreciated by expert
ence.
"Mr. Macauley announced his purpose. as minister
Of the government, L. To perfect the reform to the
corn laws. ,. To 90 generally against monopolies,
which benefited the few at tho expense of the many.
8. To endeavor, by Cancellation, to tranquze Ireland,
by reconciling feuds Of classes, and efecting such
changes as the law would allow in introducing bet
ter relation between landlord and tenant. A. To aim
at universal education Of the masses having respect
to religious preferences and prejudices D. To en-.
