Sending you all the printed news in possession, |
refrain to occupy your space with other remarks In
reference TO the foreign news
| The friends OF protection are becoming alarmed
at the prospect of any interference with the high
tariff OF 1912. Hear the remarks Of the Boston
Evening Journal:
The friends of domestic industry in the different
States are beginning to be alarmed-and il 10 time
IL
Of portentous magnitude. II this tariff BILL or one
framed on a similar basis, should be adopted many
who advocated the election Of James X. Polk will
have reason to rue their course for the remainder Of
their lives"
| The protectionsts have heretofore professed a
willingness to meet other nations, and especially
| England in commercial relaxations. But now Eng
land has commenced the work of reform, so far
from showing disposition to reciprocate the move
ment, they display much rancor towards the op-
of ariH andc tn its
and determinations with uscompromsing tenacity
"a though Great Britain had re-enyeoped her COM
mercial policy with the anti free-trade and restrictive
swaddhng-csthes Of past ages. Their professions
| IN favor Of reciprocity in commercial intercourse
are shown to be utterly insincere.
| am happy to see the Democratic Review has
made its appearance in advance of other leading uag-
aznes. Its columns well filled with inter. ting
articles especially in reference TO commercial and
| financial subjects Of the day. ] congratulate the
| readers Of the Review on the accession of Mr. Thos
p. kettell one Of its established editors and con-
trollers. He is gentleman whom have known
| for years, and can most sincerely unite my tesi-
mony to that of the Courier and Enquirer in favor
OF his being of the abest, efficient and in
dustrious 'writs~s in the ranks OF the democratic
party. The following compliment paid by a lead
! ing wing journal is as frank and honorable
in the editor of the Courier it is Just in its app
cation At another opportunity l will have word
more say in reference to the contents of the pre-
| sent number of the Review.
ave see it announced that Mr.. T. p KettelI.
who has been for some time known to the public az
a very wel-informed and skilful writer upon fnan-
cal matters, has become connected with the Review;
and that he will henceforth have sole charge Of both
the editorial and business departments of its pubca-
ton. He furnishes two articles in the present num-
ber-ene upon commercial reform, founded upon
the recent financial propositions of Sir Robert Peel
and Hon. Robert J. Walker, the other being a
review of the finances and commerce of the month
The writer is Jealous and intelligent advocate of
free trade, and is regarded by his party of its
| strongest champions"
