It is marked ith a sectioualiaui whio 1 every latrlotic eltizen must deplore. Its cot -atruetiou takes no account of tho element t labor which, outers into production, and in a numbor of insranoes makes tbo finish; d r advanced product free or datiaulo at a lets rate than tho matariir.ls from which it is iuadt. "The poor man's blanket," which tbe majority hat wade a burning issue for so n.auy joart, is made to bear the same rate of duty as U e rich man's. Mora than a third of the free lint Is made up from tho products of the farm, tbo forest and the min-. From piolticts which aie now dutiable at toe minimum ratos, rauuli a from 1 to S5 per cent-, ana even this sl!glit Srotecttnn, so essential, is to ho tat.su Iro n ie Jarmers, tt iuinbermen, and ths qUarr.rmen. The American fanner wilt appreciate tie vicious character of the bill as applied to hie 1. t when he is aDnrisod of the fact that while tie products of toe laud and labor are shut out from 'Canada by protective tariff imposed ly the Canadian Government, the Canudiau farttereon send many of his proa acts here without ths payment of du'iy under the proposed bi 1. How long will the rate ot agricultural wages lie continued in the United States under. sunn legislation ? What sort of reciprocity is thi 1? This will be a direct benefit to the Canudiin farmer, and a most serious blow to the American. The whole bill has that tendouoy, and seems to bo subject to the criticism that it w.it framed to benefit other countries rather thiol our own. Nowhere In tbe bill is the ultimate Surpose of its authors more manifest then its eatmeut of wool. It places this product uv u the free list and exposes our flocks and lleccss to merciless competition from abroad. In this respect tha bill is bat the echo of the Frontdent's message, nut): gives emphasis to the si ctied pnrposo of tho majority to break down 0:1s of the most valuable industries of the eountiy. It is public proclamation that American poU:y ot protection, so leng adhered to, and under which has teen scoured gnpreoedented prtapority in every department ot human effort, is to bo abasaoned. Why have the majority put wool pn the free list? X.et them mate their own answer. Ve quote from the ropcrt: "Wo say to the mar utaoturcr wo have put wool on the free list to enable him to obtain foreign wools eheapir, moke his goods cheaper, and send them it to foreign markets, and successfully compote with the (oveign manufacturers." , 1. Ths purpose is to bring down the price of wool. If this should be the result, we inqu re at whoso espouse and loss? It must be at the expense of the American grower and to his loss who, at present pricos and with the pres nt duty, is being forced out of the business ny rninous foreign competition. The Injury, by the confossiou of the major, ty, will fall upon tbe American wool- grower. Ho it to be the ft St victim. Bo can And no profitable foreign m ir-kc-tif ho is unabii to hold hi own, and it absurd to talk about enlargiug the markotlor I lis product at home with tho wool ot the wo 'Id crowding our shores unchecked by oustoin house dutii s There were 114 000.000 pounds of wool imported into this country the last flso il year, and our Uomebtio product, as a rest It, even with adutycf 10 conts a pound on tbe higher grades, whs diminished to UJ-,U)0. IJO poands, 'Ihe bill will greatly iucreitss itufiortations of the foreign product and dim nsh, if not wholly destroy, our own produotiun. Every nation ough it possible, to produoe its clothing, as well on it food. This- nation can do both it the majority will let it ulone. It should be borne in mina that our wool produeera cannot compote with cotintres where no winter feeding and but little smnu er attention is required and where labor is so cheap, nnloBs their industry hua just and adequate protectiou. Is labor in manufacturing more deserving of the eonsiderate concern of Congress than labor engaged lu the field of agriculture? Both are useful and eiraully honorable and alil.o merit tbe thoughtful ct usidoration of those charged with m-iking la'i-'s. The majority report assorts that we must ' reduce our woolen i;oods at lower oost and be able to undersell tbe foreign product. And after this, bow is tho low or cost to be s cun d I First by lieecing tie wool-grower, and next by reducing the labor cost in tho rnanuf act? re. Bow are we to undersell the foreign projnit? By making the manufacturing cost of nur golds leis than theirs. In other words, by cutting down ths mi mis wagos 01 our s&meu snu lab;r. not to tbe foreica stand tr I unskilled simply, but below It, lor tho product m ist cost us less if wo undersell oar competitors. Tho American form or will not quietly submit to this injustice. The American workingman will indignantly repel this olfort to degrade his lit, or. The majority gravely inijulr j la their report: -If Cuugiuss grants the requx-it of the wool-growers, whet nro the people to do for woolen oiotbin i i" Vo beg to sui-'g-st to 'the peop'e of this country who purchased woolen cloths during the exi-doace of tbe tariff of tti7, and tbe tart ff mosd by tho wool ('inference is substuntia ly tlmt tu -itf. that they wore never better olothed, and never butter ante to nu" them. It wouiu be instinotive to the majority to compare the priceE of woolen clothiiiK i 11 this country Miring the per iod from 1K-17 to lHite, mirier the low taritf t.aeu prevaliinsi, with the prices now prevailing, and they would bo profited also bv a comparison of the scale of wayes then preva linti witii those now maiitainod.

Clothes at any price were thou the dearest If tbo laboring men could have teeu board by th committee, thoy would have Udd a story of misery dm lug tbe free-trade era which might bavedeteired the majority eveu (com inaugurating the policy now proposed. Again, tho majrjrity inquire "Aro the people, to be compelled by Congress to wear o ;tu ?oods iu too winter or go without to j-ive l.onntes to wotd-giowcrs and wool inauufact tr wf" While this ,uostlou is ten tr.lliiiK for -er ous isp)y, w asauri) the ms-oritT that the only

The foreign market to which the amerlcan producer is luv.ted by ths majority

It is a vicious and indefensible blow at the entire agricultural interests ot the country. The report then goes on to say If the provisions ot the bill concerning woolen goods and manufactures vfilt become a law, the whole roadr-iurd clothing basiness of the country wilt be transferred to Kuropean rivals. The provisions proposed by the bill trader, tbe Cm and hemp. Ik rax, oarthenware, glassware, Slate glase, lumbor, s&lfe,.utd metal sohedules, le roroit declares, will, it enacted into law, be disastrous, if not entirely rninous, to many American industries. Under the' head of steel rails the report says : If ths majority desire to insure the nandlng over of oar steel rait market to our English rivals, the proposed duty ot $11 will accomplish this purpose, unless tha workinguen who ere employed in producing the raw materials and finished products of our steel roll works ar willing to accept still lower wagos than they are now receiving, and the railroad companies that transport tbe raw materials are willing to greatly red ace their froight rates. Have the majority any assurance that the workmon and the railroad ooni panics are Willing to accept these condition-? Neither were heard before the committee. Tha supply of stoel rails m the Paciflo coast is now in the hands ot foreigners, because of the cheap transportation by water from foreign ports, tho existing duty of $17 not being sutticient to enable our manufacturers to ojnipeta for that (r ule. It is stated thatths Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe liuilroad Comiiany had lately purchased 10,099 tons of foreign rails to bs delivered at Ban Diego, ClaL, and it is men. tioned that another lot of '-',5Ai tons of foreign rails had recently been sold by foreign maker for a Paciflo coast railroad In proposing to seriously cripple, li.' not to destroy, tho manufacture of sfciel rails lu this country, the majority probably do not realise the fall significance ot the results whloh they invite. It should be remembered that our manufacturers tit steel rails consume almost one-half of all the iron o e and almost half of all the nlfl-iron that ths country- hraducss. II this great market for Amerioan trod ores and VJSfmSSi'KWSSSS and ths bankruptcy which will come to proaucurv, A flagrant defect of the hill of the majority is Its preference for a-l valorem over specific duties, although tho testimony of almcst every Secretary of the Treasury since tha foundation of the Givommont has been reaorded against tho frauds upon the Treasury whieh aa valorem duties invite and foster. And bare, says tbe rapert, wo dotc.it a manifest purpose to favor f ireign mannft cturers at ths etpense of our 'wn people, for if ad valorem duties have so 01 erutod iu the past as to encourage fraudulent importation of foreign goods, they may be expected to do so again. 'lie next question considered is tbe surplus, and upon this tbe report savs : If it be the purlose of the majority to reduce the income ot tho viovernment from oustoms sources, we beg to remind them that that purpose will not be aocompllshsd by ths scaling dotin oi dutlos, as proposed iu ths bill. It is well known, and supported by almost Universal experience, that a ui -re diminution of duties tond to stimulate foroign importations and therehy inoreose the rovenue and aagnient the surplus. If "the absolute peril" to tho basiness of tbs country described by tbe President in his message last liccember as resulting (run on exciting and increasing surplus, was imminent and well fouuded, now easily he could have averted it by the purchase of outstanding bonds with the surplus money in the Treasury, a power whloh he possessed, clear and undoubted, under tho not of Mu.- eh 3. 18S1. which is as follows : t'i'hat tbe (Secretary of the Treasury msy st any time apply tne surplus money Ui ins Treasury not otherwise appropriated, or so uiuoh thereof as may ho considered proper, to the purchase of or redemption of Uiuted Htatu hands " To hav thus used the sarolus would have been direct and busiuess like, just what a piuaent nuniness man woutu nave aona wiua uis idle monoy caKe I in his creditors and applied it to his debts. Tbe Prcsidout failed to do to is, and when Congress assembled "ths condition' confronted it, If the House bad ovsa-themsv-preciated tl.o situatioh. bow promptly and easily it could have, in port at least, relieved it. It could have been done iu tbo tint week ot December by abolishing the entire tobacco tax, amounting to s'W.coO.OOJ annually, aud-theraby removed a great burden fr.nn tho r-jrlonlttirtJ prodncers of the country by releasiug also from taxation alcohol usod in the arts and manufacture.!, which it is estimated would unouut to Jti.010,0 t more. This simple pronoaltlon would have raoeivsii a praoticnlly nuauiluous vote In the House and the approval of the country, and have stopped the collection of ;:i.Ooa,0 JO a mouth, and it it had been promptly done, there wonld now be $12,OJO.OOii less of surplus in tho Treasury, and we venture to predict that the reduction that could have been thus secured was greater than the reduction which will he accomplished by this bill. Tbe majority fai vd to seise the opportunity. It Beems impossible for tho parly of the majority in the House to pass a revenue bill and reduce taxation : this llttB beou Its al most unvarying experience while in control of thn Hnmm Tbe report states that from inou to iraa tbe control of the House of Bepresentatives has been equally ditided between tbe two political parties, each having eleven years. During the eleven years of Republican control the revenues were reduced (estimated) fa -.'.W.eCO; during tho eleven years of Democratic control tha revenues were reduced Je,:W8 twi ; difference in favor of the present minority party in the House of S3&6,2M.6U. Iu eoudutiing tbe report tho minority It is manifest that the responslblUty for the present monetary condi lion which so alarms the country does not '-est wltn the minority party in tbe House, but with the present majority iu Congress They cannot escape It The l'roi I tent has for tlree years failed, while having she itcwer, to avoid ihe financial condition be now complains oi. The majority in the Bouse for six years has lignaliy tailed to provide for aredaotioa la ths revonue. They cannot avoid responsibility lor the evils which are now uuon us, and while tfcese ore beyond their power' to retrieve, thev can bv courage and wisdom, and governed bv business principles, provide against like evils in future. They must now act or make public confession of failure. Tbe minority regard this bill notas a revenue reduction measure, but as a direct attempt to fasten upon this oountry thi British policy of freo foreign trade. Ko "io sini it, their sense of obligation to the ieople, and especially ths working people, omployod in manufacturing and agriculture in all suctions of our common country, impel them to rest it it with all their power. They will assist tbe majority Iu every oirort to reduce the redundant income of the Government in a direc t and 1 iracticable way, but every effort at fiscal HgisliAion which will destroy or enfeeble our radus tries, retard mate rial development or tend to reduce our labor to the standard of other countries, will be met with the persistont and determined opposition of the minority represented iu tho House.
