A JiyiBT resolution to furuls) certain pooka to the law library of Cincinnati passed the Senate on the Uth mat. Bills were formally reported to create a commission on the alcoholic minor traffic, for the relief of the Nea Perce Indians in Idaho, and to pro-vide for coinage at the branch mint in Denver. A resolution was offered directing tbe Judiciary Comxoitt-e to report whether Psul Strobach is now discharging the duties of United States Marshal of Alabama, after his nomination was rejected. The bankruptcy bill was taken up, and it was screed that any person owing In excess of $300 may petition for discbarge. By arete of 10 yeas to 138 nays the House of Bepresentstfres decided to take up the Morrisoo tariff DHL The vote by which the consideration of the bdl was secured was made np of 131 Democrats and Hvc fie publicans. The opposing Tots consisted of ninety-nine Bepnblican sad thirty-eight Democrats, and one Independent, Finerty. of Chicago. The' Democratic opposition rote consisted of one vote each from Alabama, Connecticut, Indiana, Tioamiaiia, Maryland, four from California, three from Sew Jersey, five from Ohio, ten, from Pennsylvania, and nine from New Tore. Mr. Morrison opened the debate on the measure. Be declared that to fail to re race taxation and thus relieve the people would be a fmsyant disregard of public duty. A horizontal . reduction might not be the best, but none oth:r was practicable at present. To the list of articles now imported free of duty it was pro. posed to add salt, coal, wood, and lumber. Belt was already free for fishermen and meat exporters, coal was untaxed for use on coast trading vessels, and the revenue from wood and lumber was tn the past ten years not over $10,oto,sa, while the domestic wooden prod nets eoreded $500,000,090 per annum in vara?. In the estimates, as esreraliy prepared, the biU would leave in cottons but two articlca'datiable above to per cent, in woolens bat one above to per ceeti., and in iron and steel but few above so per cent. As at present arranged many of these articles were taxed above loo per cent, through hidden enormities in classification and rates of duty. The above Halts were intended to reme-ry these enormities. The insufficient character of the late revision forbade its permanency. The only seenrity from agitation and change wanld be to confine the taxing power to obtaining a revenae Hniited to the necessities of the Government, The cry of the protectionists that lower rates would ruin manufactures was need when the industries were young, and would continue to be used to the end.

He denied that any of the artidos oaDed raw materials by the Democrats were, in raaitty. raw materials, b the for cheapness production left the prosperous oountrtea and found its way to the most oppressed. After spirited passage between Messrs. Kelley and Hewitt regarding the doty on wire rods, Mr. Kelley repeated his assertion that production Bad outrun consumption, and thi evil could net be mitigated by a redaction in the tariff. The only means by watch the markers eould be increased would he to top the importation of cheap labor, send back all who had signed contracts ia foreign lands to work a tow wages, see that laborers were paid so moon that the pabUc schools might

BEFORE CONGRESS. The Horizontal Tariff Bill Taken Up i.i Committee of the Whole.

Mr. Morrison Mttkcs a Long Argument, to Which Judge Holler Replies

On tho motion or Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, and by a voto of MO yeas to 138 nays, tho House of licin-OFOntatlvcs, On the 15th of April, agrotd to go into coinmitteo of the wholo for tho consideration of tho tariff bill. Mr. Morrison immediately opened Uio debate in support of tho measure.

LATEST HEWS. The delegates-at-large from Indiana to the National Kepubllcan Convention, selected" by tho State convention at Indianapolis, are Senator Harrison, Richard W. Thompson, John H. Baker, and Morris MoDonald. They wore not instructed, and have expressed no preferences. At the State convention of Delaware Republicans at Dover, all Blaine delegates to Chicago, save one for Arthur, were chosen. Party differences regarding control of State affairs resulted in animated scone?. The New Jersey Bepnblican Convention passed resolutions indorsing Arthur's administration and strongly favoring protection. Of the four delegates at-large to tho Chicago convention, one Is a pronounced Blaine man. Tho preferences of tho others

aro unknown. Senator Sowell heads the delgation. William Walter Phelps is a dolegate. Ex-Congressman Robeson was a candidate for delegate and was badly beaten. He was also beatca in his efforts to be made an alternate.

If all of the 102 Congressmen who

arc loaded with speecbos on the Morrison tariff bill are given a chanoe to talk, it is estimated by a Washington correspondent that

they will take up six weeks of tho time of

Congress. It is understood that the Repub

licans and the Democratic protectionists will endeavor to cut them off by a motion to strike out the enacting clause of the bill at the earliest opportunity. This may not succeed, as Mr. Morrison has promised to accede to many of the amendments to bo offered by the representatives of special interests, and to agree to tho abolition of tho internal-revenue tax.

except that on whisky and malt liquors. The

fate of tho bill in the House is involved in

much uncertainty.

In convention at Nashville and nominated Judge Frank T. Reid, who served in the Confederate army, for Governor. The delegates to the National Convention at Chicago

are nearly solid for Arthur.

Late advices from the Cesar d'Alene

gold fields report discoveries of gold in the district known as Dream Gulch, so called because of its discovery on account of tho alleged dream of a Frenchman. Four men

sluiced out Arc pounds two ounces of coarso

gold there In two days. Tho result of the discovery had the effect of advancing the

price of claims all along the creek. The first

fatal shooting occurred at Murrayville tho 13th of April, when a fiddler named Richards,

Mr. Morrison's Speech. Ho described the financial condition ot the country, stated the exMinntcd surplus of revenue over exixmlitures. and dwelt upon the necessity of reducing taxation. To frill to reduce taxation and rolicvartho people would bo a flagrant disregard of public duty. Tho pendins bill might not be all that wa-s required, but it was an advance toward the promise of more completo tariff reform. Such reform and adjustment of tho tariff were not believed to be attainable at tho present session. It would create no surprise that in tho opinion of the mlnoiitvof tho Ways and Means Committee the measure was not sufficiently harmonious to secure their approval. They found in it no merit, because it proposed to rednce all duties nl ke. A horizontal reduction miRht noi be tho best, but none other was now practicable. Tho ikotectlonista opiosed it, not liecause it was horizontal reduction, but because it was reduction at all. The year ltMO was a time of plenty. The In borer for wanes was at least as well and the grower of grain better paid than they are in this year, 1881, and in that vear, 18i0, of bounteous plenty our Importations of foreign Roods wore less to the per-on, or in proportion to the population, than In the years ltfW-'sa. To the list of articles now imported free of duty, amounting to nearly ono-thlrd of all onr importations, it is proposed to add salt, coal, wood, and lumber. Salt is already freed irom tax for the fishermen, also fcr the exporter of meats, to lessen the coat of food to the )coilo of other countries, not tor onr own. Coal is ontaxed for uro on vessels having by lsw the exclusive right to the coasting trade or engaged In the foreign carrying trade a privilege denied to persons engaged in other pursuits. The revenue from wood and lumber imported and hereafter to be admitted tree of duty has in teu years last past not much exceeded JK'.ooo,000. The census returns show that domestic wooden products oxoced 500,000,030 per annum. If the average duty of 20 per cent on imported wood adds bnt 10 per cent, to tho price of that produced bero.its increased cost to the people has been SOn.ooo.OOO in ton years. In these ten years, under pretense of taxing this article to secure $10,000,000 revenne, we have compelled the peoplo to pay $600,000,000 in bounty to encourage the destruction or forests and felling of treat, and in the same ttmc we have given more than 18,000.000 aores of land under the timber culture act as a bounty to encourage the rlanting ot other trees and other forests. In tbo estimates made by a clerk ot experience in the Bureau of Statistics, which the actual payments on importations show to bo bntestlmatcs, thonftu based on official data, the bill would leave, it appears, in cottons but two articles, cotton yarns, not the finest, dutiable above 40 per cent.; in woolens, but one, coarse carpet wool, which wo do not produce, above 60 per cent., and in iron and steel but a few above 50 per cent. These rates have iicon fixed as the limit, above which on these articles no duty shall be collected. The' prcs?nt rate on the finest cotton is 40 per cent.., mid yet it is an unquestioned fact, as shown by the invoices and payments made, that duties exceeding 100 per cent. (exceeding first cost! are exacted and paid on cotton goods, the dnly upon which is. In tho estimates referred to, stated to be 1 ss than 2) per cent. Tho same is trno of iron and steel in a different degree. In the woolen schedule these abuses are most elating. In all they result from enormities hidden and concealed both In the classification of articles and the rates of duty. The limit of 40, 50, and 60 per cent on tne cotton, metal, and woolen schedules is intended to expose and remedy these hidden enormities. Those really desirous of affording some relief from existing abuses will not fail to find their opportunity in remov ins taxes yielding I8.000.uo0 on sugar, as much

'on cotton and woolen goods, and $11,000,000 on

otner articles useu m every nome. rue insufficient, not to say deceptive, character of the late revision, the manner of making It, and the circumstances attending its adoption alike forbid it shotdd be permanent. The only security from agitation and change Is to confine the taxing power to its rightful purpose of obtaining a revenue limited to the necessities of Government. When no more revenne is needed bv the Oovcrnment of a people it has attained the limit of its power to tax the people. Estimates based on census statistics show that as many as 18,000,000 of our people do some work or are ocennied in some business, and that

tho average annua! earnings of at least 16,000,iio ot these do not much exceed $300, and are wholly consumed in the means ot daily substance. Thisc, too, aro millions wlao, in shop and field, strike the blows of all production. All the accumulations of and boasted additions to our national and individual wealth go to one-tenth of those who earn it; and of these a few appropriate the gnat mass of the savings of tfic people, and are enriched by the profits ot the labor of other men. Like estimates will show that the few who profit most f , om the talior nf all rantrlhntA little under this

system ot nneqoal taxation not more than a

per cent. 01 their savings wiitio tne great mass of workers, including the dependent poor, pay the bulk of the taxes, all ot which is subtracted from their too scanty means of comfortable living. Ours is a very free conn try of very tree men, both very freely taxed. In the same sense that we are free men ta a free country, freely taxed, wo may be correctly named free traders when wo insist that the trade and the commerco of the country and the necessities of comfortable living shall be freed from all taxes not essential to a Government for public uses. The amount required from the customs is dependent upon what may be received from internal revenues. The abolition ot internal revenue means free and cheap liquors, but with heavier taxed and higher-priced sugar and other articles essential in even' household. I am not called upon to defend a system which hius many abuses. Of the two systems, however, it Uehcaper in tho administration, immensely cho&per in its results. The repeal of the internal revenue means more than the additional cost of living and privation to the poor. It means a permanent public debt, which tho few owe and tho many pay. and wnich corrupts the administration. While we cannot doubt the existence ot great wrongs in the execution Of the internal revenue laws, especially in the South Atlantic States, many of these may be cured. Neither is it beoauso ot these abuses ot administration that the abolition of liquor and tobacco taxes la demanded in those States, for the North is sub

stantially free from these flagrant abuses.

. Mr. Morrison said that during more uian nait of the last ten years wages had been as low or

lower man oeiorc tne adoption 01 tne taxing policy as a pretended means of making wages hieher. And. be continued, there is bnt one horl-

kontal reduction for which our opponents are willing to legislate, the reduction of wages, and this their favorites, with or without retard to legislation, are now executing day )y day with cruel regularity. In the opinion Of tho minority members of the committee, jraprcsentlne as they do the friends of .the prevailing policy, the cure for whatever national ills exist, so far as they result from taxation, is to be found in highcrtyriced clothing and other articles useful in the fields, mines, and homes; for that is what Is meant by higher-taxed wool, fence-rods, cotton-

bands, ana tin-plates, twine 01 oar menus here would cure tbo ills of overtaxation with the declaration of a purpose the exec ution of which they would carefully avoid. And here is the declaration. It is called the Ohio platform: "We favor a tariff for revenue limited to the necessities of the Government economically administered and so adjusted in application as to prevent unequal burden, encourage produotlve industries at home, and afford ;ust compensation to labor, but not to create or foster monopoly." A tariff for revenue limited to tho necessities of the Government Is demanded by this plan of relief. Is the tariff so limited? If not, then why refuse to limit it? Who among the representatives of the goodly people of that State who made this declaration believes it is so limited? Who among them believes tho ponding bill will reduce the revenue below the necessities of the Government? These are qnettlons to which the plain people of the country want au answer. They will demand to know why the tariff taxes were not removed in the past, if they are beyond the revenue limit. Do gentlemen expect to escape responsibility because the rates are not rightlv adjusted? The adjustment will bo the same when the reduction Is made, but whatever monopoly belongs to it will be fostered by 20 per cent, less than it now is. f this platform has an honest meaning It is that the tariff shall bo lowered to a rovenuo basis. And gentlemen tut deceive themselves who expect the itoplo will be decched by a refusal to legislate in accordance with this declared punosc. If the protection policy is to bo the continuing policy of tho Government it will be, and ought to be, Intrustcl to its friends the Republican party. Every argnmaut in support of a protective polioy is based on the assumption thut any considerable tariff modification, especially a modification to a revenue basis, will destroy the manufacturing industries, compel the abandonment ot the chops and mills, and force those now emrag'd in thca into other employments. This is the old, old storyIt was told of the manufacturing industries in their Infancy. It will be told when protection brings them to decay. Eight years ago I Introduced the first bill for free qnimne and rovlding for untaxed alcohol for use in maknglt. At once it was insisted that quininemaking would b?oomo a lost nrt amoag us if such a bill should pass, and it did not then pass. Later on, when the story of irco quinine got among the people, another placed a bill Inilore the House omitting the free alcohol provision, and the bill became a law, the protectionists themselves fooling obliged to vote lor it. The (treat Phil itlclpMa house did cot go into a docline, but continued Its business of quinine making sncc-sst'nlly as the aco-md largest liulnlno establishment in the world. So every legitimate Industry would go on with a revenue rlff. It is insisted that wnges arr- so much higher heio thauin tho countries seoltliiK our markets that (hi revenne dnti-s will not equalize the difference in th t cost of production. Conceding the truth of what is not t mo- that tho foreign livol must pay for the privilege of soiling in our marke's a sum cuaJ to the difference In wages to cnablo the Pome proiln-er to sell with a reasonable profit let n see If tho revenue rates will compensate fo: that difference. The census value i.f the manufuotnres for 188(1 was $5,ati,6':i,l91. The wage ltd in making them were fcu7,u53,793. The difference In tho rout ot tbo gootls is said to be tho dilferoncn in tho tost of wages. But suppose the diffcreiiio between tlio cost hero and the oost abroad nmomitH to all tho wagrs paid here, tlirit these manulaotuies would cost abroad $i,42i,25,sii6. Snpnoto the avoraio rato of duty whtoh inn bill before the lioiiso leaves at U3 per cent, was reduootl to

39 per cent, and at that rate this $l, 1,625,896 in value of goods was imported. It would coat the Importer at that rate of 92 per cent. $'172,757,687, which not only makes up for tho difference In wages, but exceeds all the wages paid for making all of tho goods. If those who claim special friendship for the manufactiuing industries will insist on their going into decay and then dying, some other apology must bo found for their taking off than the removal of unnecessary taxes.

Mr. Kelley'a Reply. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, made tho opening speech in ooposition to the bill, lie did not lielieve any cheapening goods could relieve auy American Industries. The evil was not that gooi la were nbt cheap enough or that America eoultl not produce them. The tt uth, to be considered of all men, was that the power of product ion the world over had outrun the l ower of com uinption, and that the markets were overstocked, ui I In every land skilled aud Industrious people had been idle for a large portion of all recent years. Nihilism in Russia, Hocialism in ttermnuy. Socialism and Nihilism In tho border regions of Austria, Communism 1 n France, told the story in those great countries, of Idleness, want, and misery in every industrial center. He then proceeded to give e apters from the terrible lives ot the iudustr al c asses of England as learned by him durir.g a Have moil tils' visit to "Merry England," prosperous, free -trade England, in order to show the fearful condition Of.tlie laboring people of that country, and said the proposition now made wavthat the United states should enter he race with the world for cheapness, which had ted to such terrible results in England. Then was nothing of so little value in England as a working man or woman with a reasonably gocd ane:t:e. 1" one town he had seen women making ti acr -chains and yet the gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. Turner, was returned to Congress every year because lie advocated placing iraoe-cluins on the free-list Mr. Turner said that that was a good proposition, which he hoped would b j adopted. Mr. Kelley replied that women could rea'ize 69 or Cit cents a week for making trace-chains. God forbid tl.at any Kentucky woman must ever work at such masculine employment for such starvation wages. He recalled the reply of Emery Btotrs 10 an Englishman who, at a dinner given by Minister Lowell, was badgering him about free trade: "twill admit tree trade la the best for von at least for thos of you who

can afford to consume anything that is pro-I duved; bnt I claim that protection is lust for us. "I

Xpu think more a great deal of cheap allocs than you do of a prosperous shoemaker, while in America wo think wore ot the artisan than bis work. After describing the wretched condition of the laborers lu Birmingham and surrounding towns, he said: "God forbid that American labor should ever be embodied in any production that should be cheap enough to bo sold to tho industrial towns that surround Blvmincham. Much was heard about tree raw material, lie denied that the free-trade Democracy of the country, as repiesented on this floor, was in favor of free raw material. Under the present tariff every element of raw material which could bo discovered was already on the free list. The pending hill put twenty or thlr y articles on tbo free list, but not one of hem was raw material. The tow material for salt was the brine which was pumped out. Coal in earth, soiling at oertaln rates iier ton "unsisht un-cen," was raw material: but when thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars had been expended In making It accessible to man's n-e, It was not. Alcoh'd was raw material, and only two Democrat Messrs. Hewitt and Randall

were in favorof potting it on the free list.

THE POLITICAL WORLD.

Pennsylvania Democrats in State Convention Elect a Solid Eandall Delegation.

Republican State Conventions In Missouri, Arkansas, and Georgia.

STATE CONVENTIONS. Pennsylvania Democrats. E, Hilton Spear presided over the Pennsylvania Domoorstlo State Convention, which mot at Allentown. The Chairman's reference to Randall In connection with the Presidency was enthusiastically received. The resolutions adopted denounce tho attempts Bald to havo beon made recently to overturn tho principles of government ordained by tho Federal Government, and proceed as follows: Wo are against centralization, monopoly, extravagant expenditures, subsidies, and tha debasement of civil service to partisan spoliation. We believe that the electoral frauds of 1H70-7, by which a J. Tildcn and Thomas A Hendricks wore oheatod out of the offices of President and Vloe President, to which they were fairly elected, was a meet deadly blow aimed at our system of representative government, and the duty of driving from power the men and party who made that fraud triumphant is tho most saorod obligation ever imposed upon conscientious freemen. We favor tariff for revenue, limited to the necessities of the Government economically administered, and so adjusted in its application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage productive industries at homo, and afford just compensation to lalior, hut not to create or foster monopolies, and to this end favor the abolition of the internal revenue system of taxes, and such an adjustment of existing tariff dnties as will ho consistent with these principles. The Importation under contract of foreign pauper labor is an evil which should bo remedied by judicious legislation. Uesolred, That Snucl J. Randall is the choice of the Democracy of Pennsylvania as the candidate of their party for President. By long, faithful public service he has illustrated an unfaltering devotion to high political principle and fealty to the Democratic party. His honesty and honor, bis capacity and courage, his faithful labors and signal abilities have merited and won for him the confidence aud support ot the people of the United States, Tho planks relating to tariff, labor, and State administration were applauded, but the most hearty cheers wore given and repeated again and again when tho resolution referring to Randall was read. The platform as road was adopted, and then loud crios were mado for Randall. Tho gentleman- was sent for, and when ho appeared, a delegate who had the Moor at once dedtarcd, amid a burst of cheers, that ho "gavo way to tho next President," As soon as quiot was restored, Mr. Randall addressed the convention, briefly assuring bit hearers that ho should continue to pur-

covered no substitute? Before the American farmer could advance his raw material cornone stage in tho manufacture, he hail to pay 90 cents a peck. The same was true of tobacco it was a tax on the producing and trading olasses. In the race for cheapness production left prosperous countries and found its way to the most oppressed, and those whoso people would work for the smallest modicum of food and clothing. The Vnitcd States had entered on the work of banishing manufactures, and he asked that the tariff rates lie reinstated, as he had hoped they would have been by the majority of the last Congress. By abolishing the dutv on quinine and salts of qnininc the largest manufacturer in tho country had been obliged to send all his stock abroad, and to employ cheap German labor and cheap raw material in its manufacture. By putting a dut v of 2 l-io cents per pcund on tin plates the Cnited States had succeeded In establishing manufactories; but, by the misplacement ot a cor.niH, it has been hold thut only a duty of 1 1-10 erne had beon imposed. The

effect of this had been to strike down the industry. Tho sapient Secretary of the Treas

that ruling the wire-rod makers were importing

Mr. Kcllcv replied that ir 'ju per cent, or tne Democrats in the last t'omircss had united with

the Republican the tariff on wire-rods would have been placed at such a rate as to enable Americans to manufacture them.

Mr. Hewitt Would vou have allowed us to nx

the thing In conference committee? Mr. Kellev Yes, sir. No Democrat would serve ou that commit ee save Mr. Carlisle, who served quietly in order to observe what was

done. Jiary one clarea

Delegates to tbe Nationul Convention were then selected. The dologateg-at-largo are: William j. Horrify, of Philadelphia; Wl'liam A. Wn'lace, of Clearfield; James P. Barr, of Allegheny; Eckly B. Coxe, of Luzerne; B. F. Myors, of Dauphin; and William H. Sowden, of Lehigh. Missouri Republican. Tbe Republican Staio Convention ot Missouri met at Sedalla, and was called to order

by R. T. Van Horn, Chairman of tho State : Commlbtoo. Chester A. Krura, of St. Louis, was made TemiMirary Chairman. Tbe usual committee of ono from ench Congressional district was spioluted. The Hon, .1. B. : Henderson delivered an address 1 urging harmony and an uninstructed ' delegation to Chicago. Tho convention adopted the report of the Committee on Credentials, nnd elected Gen. O. Guitar, of I lioono County, Permanent Chairman; James I C. Hroadwell, of St. Louis, Secretary, and R. ; T. Van Horn, Gen. Prentiss, J. B. Henderson, and II. E. Havens delegates-at-largo. j A niass-meetiug of both Killoy and antt- ; Fillcy delegates was held in the morning in ' the interest of harmony. Mr. Fillcy called . the mooting to order aud urged the delegates i to act as though tkere were no factions in the j party, but to pr.-scnt a ticket and platform ! which overy Republican could indorse. In tho convention, Mr. t'llley, who was not a ' delegate, was unanimously invited to a scat ( on the platform Ho then mado another

SSShSTmiTStoirti 1 He then shook hands heartily with Col. Van

talk about what occurred a year ago. Let us go

back only two Honrs. Mr. Kelley then repeated the assertion he had made that the production bad outrun consumption. Every reduction of wagos diminished tho power of tho masses to consume and magnified the evil from which the people of the whole industrial world were now suffering. This evil could not be mitigated by a 20 per cent, reduction in the tariff, now too light on a good many articles which should be produced in the United States, nor by a blow at the agricultural interests. The south of Russia was now encaging Amei leans to erect elevators, to build factories for American agricultural machinery, and to aid in the construction of railroads to tho seaports; and if tho farmers of America did not care for their infr-rests and did not strive by the proper legislation to diversify their agricultural products their markets would be gone; and in comparison with the price they now received for wheat they would receive a price little more than nomiml. He could see bnt two means bv which the markets could bo increased, with a third means glimmering in the future. Stop all importation of cheap labor. Send back to whatever country they came from the men or women who had signed the contracts in foreign lands or on shipboard to work at lower wages than the wages of American labor. See that the wages were kept so high than the public schools might be well sustained and the children reasonably well educated. Let not the American women become degraded. Protect the American motherhood against the degradation of becoming the drudges of men in gla-s-works, iron-forges, and rolling-mills, if necessary, by declaring eight hours the longest period in tho twenty-four that men or "machinery may run. He advocated the production of sorghum in the West, aud especially in the Southwest, as a means of diversifying tho lalior ot tho American farmer and enhancing the sale of his production. Let tine country be isolated. It was unlike any other. It was not a monarchy or an empire; it was a free republic, every human being belonging to which was a citizen with the rights of freemen, and with the duty before Win of helping maintain the Government, which could only live as long as virtue, intelligence, and Independence characterized its citizens. And this it could not do If it was to begin In an unholy race for the "cheap and nasty" underteachings Of dismal science. THE VOTE. Analysis of the Vote on the Motion to Consider the Tariff UiU.
