GEN. JACKSON & A HIGH TARIFF.


In the Nashville Republican Banner,
we have read very lengthy article,
purporting tc be review OF Gen. Jack
son course upon the Tarif-in which an
attempts made to provethat he Is, and ais
suays has been, a friend and supporter Of
high Protective Tariff. Coming from the
source it does, we had reason 10 suspect
that unfair means would be used to sad
die upon the Hero of New Orleans the
crime Of having advocated system Of
taxation detrimental to the interests of a
great portion Of the people Of the Union,
and vioIative of the Constitution. By
reference to the Messages, and other
publications, Of General Jackson, we find
our suspicious pretty true: We find the
whole proof adduced to substartiate this
charge to consist of FFgarbled extracts
J and mutllated sentences, calculated al
! least to deceive the reader, unless he
I should take the trouble 10 inform himself
!. upon the subject.


7 The first piece Of testimony offered, Is
: Gen. Jackson's letter Of the goth April,
I 1924, to Dr.. Coleman, Of North Carroll.
ma, the whole of which is embraced il
the following sentence:


It is therefore my opinion that care
fMI and judicious Tariff is much wanted
$ topay our National De5t, and to AFFORD
US the means Of that defence within our
selves on which the safety of our coun.
! try and liberty depends; and last, though
i. not least, give proper distribution Il
our labor. which must prove benefcialtc
the happiness, independence aud wealth
2 of the community in general.


The next is his lettero February 2s
/" 1928, 10 Governor Ray, of Indiana, il
: which he repeats the substance of wha
: he had written to DR.. Coleman, and de
! clares that he voted for the Tariff Q
: 1924. The object Of these two pieces .


documentary evidence is 10 prove wha
/ Gen. Jackson and his friends very read


lily admit-thatis-- he voted in 1872


for high Tarif-but ihat his view
e as to a Protective Tariff il 1924 an
o in 1882 and 1856 differed very widel,
le We deem il no difficult matter 10 prov,
y Ia 1924, more than eighty millions I
n the Public Debt remained unpaid, and
d therefore required Tariff greater tha


the current expenses Of the Governmer


to meet The annual payments 10 be mad
upon this debt. To this fact every clos


observer Of public affairs can testify


Every member Of Congress, no matte


what might have been his private views
J was bound 70 vote for such d Tariff 4


would meet the current expenses sof n
