Jefferson and Scott.

Thomas Jefferson understood the character of Win
field Scottt-Indiana Journal
Winfield Scott does not appear TO appreciate the
character of Thomas Jefferson, however. The latter
once wrote in paper called the Declaration of Inde
pendence:"
''He IKng Georgel endeavored to prevent the pop
uaton Of these States for that purpose obsirucng III.
Laios Of naturalization Of foreigners; refusing to pass
others to encourage their migration hither."
Gen. Scott wroie as late as 1874:
1--WE think liberal enough when, in providing
for America, we leave the door OF admission open to
the children Of foreigners, abroad who may here
after be born here, without allowing their fathers to
come and help govern u.s."
We hope the Journal will continue to ''assauIt the
reputation Of Mr.. Jefferson" by attempting cover
Scott with his mantle.-Richmond Enquirer.

Tarif on wool.

Some writer in the Journal, over the signature ol
Veritas,p opposes the election OF Gov Wright
count Of the Governors views on the tariff and dwelIs
particularly the article Of wool. which, he thinks.
for the benefit OF farmers and wool growers should be
protected He urges strongly the policy Of abandoning
the Democratic Revenue tariff of 1916, and return
to the Wing system of protection of 1912.
The tariff of 1912 was framed with view Of protect
ing the American manufacturer. The farmer never
thought Of The manufacture of wooden goods in this
country, is almost exclusively confined the
fabrics. Heavy cloths, cassimeres, and satinets,
coarse blankets, carpets, sc. The finer qualities Of
cloths manufactured to any in this
try These cloths are from France and the west Of
England. With view Of protecting the American
manufacturer, the tariff Of 1912 levied the following
tax on wool: 'On coarse Gool unmanuactured the
raue chereo at the last port place enee exported to
the United States, shall be seren cents or UNDER per
pound there shall be levied duty of fire per cenum ad-
ralorum"
Such wool as the farmers of this country sell from
80 to 35 cents per pound be purchased in South
America from to cents. The focks cover the vast
pampds plains Of that country and require other
care than the watchful vigilance of shepherd who
can tend flock Of thousands To enable the manufac.
turer to make high profit his articles the duty
coarse wool merely nominal-fye per cent, whilst
the fabric Of foreign manufacture which came
competition with the American article was taxed
exclusion. This was the policy Of the Wing tariff Of
1912. The manufacturer protected at the expense
Of the farmer and wcol-grower. In the Democratic
Revenue Tariff of 1896 the tariff all kinds of wool
is thirty per centun, advance of twenty-five per
centum the Wing tariff Yet, Mr.. ''Veritas" Of the
Journal, complains that the Democrats opposed to
protecting the wool of the farmer fair specimen o
Whig honesty.
