Mr.. Clay in his late letter on Agriculture says
" Cotton, Hemp WOOL manufactures of Tobacco,
and other articles of agricultural product are
now protected" Indeed Cotton protected I?
Howe In what way2 That there issa duty on
Cotton we all know, but that duty affords no
protection, for the simple reason that an article
produced, cotton IS, beyond the 6onse demand,
cannot be affected by imports. In other words,
the American people do not import any cotton
they raise enough and to spare; and consequently
the duty on it can have no effect. THIS Mr.. Clay
kne'0, and is it uncharitable to suppose that he
has attempted to deceire the people on this sub
ject2 Has he not spoken falsely in saying that
Cotton is protected2 We leave the answer to
his friends.
