TO the Irish Philadelphia. Without Matthew
Carey, Henry Clay would never hs'e been
the Father Of the American System; bun u the
pioneer pur.uit Of an idea-the hiying OF all the
facts necessary to make the honey for CONVICTIONS
could form the Father OF the Tarif-the IarIn OF
1924 and that Of l52S-then surely that honor be-
longs to Matthew Carey. But history Is seldom
written, ard where "men who think on their legs
get their thunder is not noticed but all Is claimed
for such. In no country, so Tar az annan''s are
concerned, are the people kept ore Ignotah as 10

me now the opportunity of correcting that phrase
Agriculture is not the first pursuit OF u civilized
pfople-uot first as TO time. Working i'll iron and
carpentry labors invariably precede it. Hunting
and fishing are the primary labors. Men, then,
learn the uses of metals. The Egyptians 5000
years ago knew Il way of temperlng copper, harden
ing il for the uses of the farmer and mechanlc; an
art now lost, since the superior metal, iron, has
taken the place of the copper. Iron then being
mixed and worked into tools and machines, our
agriculture begins but it does not begin until car
pentry skill has built the pioneer house; and these
snecedental abors noble as the working OF the
earth--as of agriculture Agriculture Is vastly
