agraph: - S 80 = 5 ~ s. ssssl4stI

Excelleney says in his Messageto the prcsen:

Gov Morehead therefore advocated in 1912
what he now considers " in practice mere A1np-
bag"~ But we have no room for comments. Lrt
US look at a few s:things" in the Independent
In 1912 Mr.. Loring said, in his comments on
the sAlessage of Gov. Morehead: f" He is,Me
first Executive Of the State whO has had the bold
ness to declare in taror of a prOtsctire policy u
! And this too when the Governor expressly stated
that he was an advocate Of Free Trade, as fat as
it might be practicable; and when he did not &c
half as far in favor Of protection as he has gone
since in supporting Mr.. Clay, the father ant
founder of the system But what does Mr. Lor
ing say abou, the late Message of his Excellency


He says it is "e1cellent," and TO tile purpose,
and that he wants it carefully read"-meanine
of course that its principles are sound, and deserve
a wide circulation. Gov. Morchead-Free Trad
and T. Loring-what mcdly of fcontradiction
and uncertainties! @
