Extract from Mr.. CIay's Speech in the Senate,
23rd March. 1912.


ssThe Senator (Mr. Calho un,) was conyfh6ally
charging him (Mr. Clay) with the design Of vic.
lating the compromise act When had he swer-
we'd from itl He was still for adhering to it, as he
understood its principles. Those principles he did
not consider incompatible with the protection Of
American industry, in preference to any,other.
He had lived, and would die, an advocate Of the
protective system. He had never changed his
principles. They were now the same as they had
ever been; but he submitted to the restrictions OF
the compromise act as q matter Of necessity
And he did not even now think il prudent, be.
cause not practicable, to 60 as far his inclina-
tions led him, with the friends Of protection. But
as far as he could go he would!''


Our readers will perceive by the above, that
Mr.. Clay was forced to acknowledge The compro-
mise provisions, yet he claims to be the parent a
that act, and has lately declared that he should
in future abide by and support ito provisions
How can free voters give suffrage to a man. who
once opposed the provisions Of tho compromise,
and now by favoring them is set against the wish
