To William L. Harris, Eqr,

| charged you with being in favor
Of a protective tariff, and this seems
especially to have excited you and
pryoked your wrath. NowMr. Harris
spoke from what | had heard, and
from the record. In the canvass oil
1884, YOU could not be brought to
take a stand against the principle oil
the tariff Of 1842.-You thought il
too high perhaps, and ought to be
materially reduced, but you were for
retaining the specific and minimum
rates of duties, the great objectiona.
Bile features of the act. At the anti
tariff meeting held at this place on
the Bird Of October, 1913, you oppo-
sed the resolution Of Mr.. Whitfield
condemring the tariff of '42. and pre-
vented its passage, thereby defeated
the great object Of the meeting. You
say you have always varied against
a protective tariff. if so, it has been a
strange sort of warfare. In lS32you
were for multiplying the tariff of 1928;
in 1913, you will not oppose the tariff
of1S42, the latter Of which was in the
opinion of Mr.. Calhoun more obiec-
tionable in some Of its features than
the former. cant understand this.
If twas right to nulliiy the tariff Of
1928, equally right, and even more
so, it strikes us, was it to nulliiy the
tariff of 1S43-Perhas the inconsis-
tency may be explained by the fact
that in 1882, you were a Calhoun
man, at least in favor Of his views of
constitutional principles, and never
dreamed Of supporting Henry Clay;
and in 1943 and IA, you became the
warm advocate Of that gentleman's
election Of the presidency. But let
the subject pass, with the single re-
mark that cannot see how it is pos
sible that any man can support for
the presidency. one who is a high pro-
teCtive tariff man-the father Of the
system, when the tariff question too
is the great one at issue in the con-
test, without being himself a protec.
tive tariff man, unless, as | have be-
fore said, he goes for the man and
not for principle.
