Ii is also fact that the tariff of 1912 was politi

that tariff was the production of Abbot Lawrence,
and few other political manufacturers, concocted

Now. Mr. Webster is to be the instrument ef

truly il is a work which he will perform with

been brought out TO be candidate for the fourth

That Daniel Webster will do this, do not hesl-

when the ZollVerein treaty comes to be acted upon
Daniel Webster will be found in support Of it. The
way has been prepared, the indications have ap.
peared, and the Zoll Verein treaty of Reciprocity
will be confirmed. This will open the door to, and
will be followed by, treaties of the same nature
with other powers. and also very probably by a re
vision OF the tariff and reduction of its duties to a
revenue standard. Thus will the tariff question be
settled, and Henry Clay, as is expected, along with
