The Credit. System.

tory, the warmth of heart which has tn

his long, bright, lofty career. While he

HENRY CLAY this day completes the
18th year of his active, eventful, glorious
life. As by many years the Oldest and by
far the most illustrious public man still re-
naming in the National Councils, it is fit
that his birthday should be honored even
w ulIvso vNhv have uInoGeu wIUu MN as 20
some of the important public questions
which have divided the Country, and in
regard to which he has acted a most con-
spicuous part Time modides differences
softers ell asperities, and it seems to Us
that the time has now arrived when Mr..
Clay can and should be regarded not
through the distorting glass of Party but
with the clear and luminous vision Of
History. What reason has any one longer
to fear or hate, to traduce or Aattef, Henry
Clay
The writer hereof has differed from Mr..
Clay with regard to many of the most i'm
portant questions on which that Statesman
has swayed the country. We abhor al
War save that which People is compel
led to wage on its own soil for the defense
of its most precious rights. Mr.. Clay was
the master-spirit of the War of lSl2-a
conflict which had abundant justification,
according to the laws and usages Of Ma
tons, but which we think might have been
honorably and beneicently avoided if the
dominant politicians of that day had been
sincerely, heartily DESTROYS OF avoiding It.
and had hated the new despotism in Europe
as intensely as they rightfully hated the old
ones. Though but 4 child in 1920 we
we're old enough to understand and regret
the result of the great Missouri struggle,
whereof Mr.. Clay was the paci6cator. We
felt that the issue of No More Slave
States was well made by the North, and
should have been maintained Though in
volving some present trouble, excitement
and hazard, its success in the case of MIS-
souri, would have saved the Nation from
infinitely greater and indefinitely protracted
evils thereafter The Compromise propo-
sed by Mr.. Clay was a fair one, if q Com
promise there must be; but we wish there
had been none, unless to admit Missouri as
she was, on condition that no Slave State
should ever be formed thereafter.
So with the Tariff Compromise of 1894.
We regretted it at the time We regret it
still. 1t was a purchase of present quiet
at cost of future evil. In virtually pre-
GLIDING all Economic action, and therefore
nearly all Economic discussion, for the
ensuing ten yeas, i; arrested on most
important topic the Political Education of
the People. In averting immediate disas-
tiers, it obscured their causes when they
came. 1t saved manufacturers from pre-
sent ruin, but we think subjected manufac-
lures to a blight which, from being gradual
in its operation, was only the more general
and deadly.
The last great Compromise was too re-
Gently adopted to be fairly Judged as yet.
1t differs from the others in the important,
the vital point that the subjects which it
embraced demanded immediate action. and
that such action could not have been post
pOnsd without great mischief and peril.

may Judge by the nu uber Of volumes published

the history of Jamie from infancy to manhood, in.
Guiding his anal escape from the protection OF the

ioyed abundant opportunity of seeiug for herself
the workings Of that system which chsttelizes

the reader with sundry episodes which give
good idea of plantation life, and also exhibit in
striking manner the debssing effects Of Slavery
on both bond and free. Ii would be well, per

capture and return to bondage ofthe human chat
