CNoORS rs CLAY.

The World, babitually unjust to the memory
of Henry Clay, is especially 80 in hkenlng his
course in supporting tho Compromise Iarilf
of 1893 with that of the Hon. j. SnOOks, who
insisting that duty on imported wares OF
metals makes our consumers pay so much
more, not only for the articles thus taxed, but
for all domestic products which are sold in
competition therewith-dOes nevertheless sup
port a duty of SO per tun on Pig Iron,
whereby $75O0,O00 according to has assump-
tions not ours is taken from our consumers
in order to get 81 100000 of it into the Treas
ury--the other $6,OOO,OOO being legally coerced
(he says into the pockets OF greedy, grasp
"ing monopolists." Mr.. Clay never so stulti-
fed himself as to support measure which ne
held to be of this charaCter-never-neye
In his deliberate judgment, the necessary ef-
feet OF Protective Duties was to cheaper the
article on which they were imposed, by sub
stituting domestic for foreign production, thus
bringing the producer nearer the consumer, and
reducing the cost of elIecting exchanges be-
tween them.
What Mr. Clay mistakenly did was to sacri-
fec future whereof he, for the moment,
seems to have despaired, to secure repreve
from immediate calamity-a mistake which, we
are confident, will not be repeated by the Pro-
tectionists of to-day. Mr. Clay, seeing that Gen.
jackson had Just been reelected and invested
| with powers virtually dctatorial, and that the
Protective professions by which he had won
the powerful support of Pennsylvania and
kindred interests, were about to be whlstled
down the wind in obedience to the stronger
| will of she Cotton growing Oligarchy, entered
into a capitulation, whereby present crash
WAS ayertcd. He did what seemed for the
best but Time proved him in error. Had he
only given the Free Traders rope, they would
| have soon run it out, and he, instead of Van
Buren, would have been chosen President in
1896. on the square issue of restoring the policy
of Protection subverted in 1888 by Jacksonian
| Democracy, in obedience to the bullying of
Calhoun Notification.
Mr.. Clay's position in '33 was that OF the
gallant leader of beaten, hopeless, demoral-
lied army, making the best terms for it that
he can secure. SnOoks represents an aggres-
sive, triumphant host, who are able to dictate
terms, not seemingly constrained to accept
such as the cOnqueror will concede.
The World invents an issue with us as to
the great revusion of 1897 We havo said
nothing Of that. But we do say that it was
because of the Revenue Tariff" then just
getting into full effect, that the Federal Treas
ury was empty, the Federal Credit dishOnored,
and the National Industry paralyzed, in
1siO-1-2, until the stress of our necessities COM
PEELED o return to Protection, in 1S42. Thence
forward, everything wore a brighter aspect,
| and we did not need TO send agents to Europe,
in a time of profound peace, to beg bankers
to lend us money to carry on our Government.
| That is our position.

Thomas Donnelly. in Missouri, was TO have beca

prit's sentence has been committed TO Imprisonment

Doanelly is exceedingly indignant at what he cen
siders 20 be harsh treatment. He protests that he
had vastly rather be hanged than shut up in the
Penitentary for even three months. This Is PREF
erence which he has all along expressed SO that it
really appears that he is to be much more severely
punished than he would have been by the regular
and legal strangulation. We commend this case to
the consideration of those who believe that hanging
hurts its immediate victim much moro than it does
society at large-a belief in which we have never

FRAMING TARIFFS.

The World thinks it would be easy TO abOl-
ish the present duties on Coal, Salt, Lumber,
and Wool, because tho amount of revenue
from these items collected in 1869 was only
$6,238, 300. But that is not the point. When
you move the repeal of these duties, you will
find that others must be repealed or reduced
along with them. The farmer will say, IL
"WOol is to be free why not Woolens also Y
The coal-mner will not sec the beauty OF ad-
mtting Coal free, yet taxing nearly everything
he buys or consumes. The lumberman has his
ideas also, of similar tenor 1t certainly Is not
right TO deal with this great subject piecemeal'
II the Tariff is to be recast, let the work be
thorough and let action be based on dis
tinct, unambiguous principle. Such is the die
tate of craftsmanship and public good We
predict that it will not be found practicable
to ignore it. But whoever thinks to DO dlf-
ferently is abundantly welcome to try.
