HON. FRANK HURD’S SPE£H.

XConeluded from First Page.]

This is no idle theory of mine: During the low duties on wool, from 1847 to 1861, the farmers got five cents per pound more for their wool than they have received from 1867 until now under the high protective tariff adopted in the year last named. In England when a proposition was made to take the duties off wool altogether, it was antagonized, as calculated to be destructive to the wool interests; but the result is that from that time until now the price of wool has steadily advanced, subject only to those fluctuations which alcect all occupations. In France we have the same result, for when the duty on wool was reduced from 33 to 22 per cent wool immediately advanced 6 per ceDt., and continued at that rate. One of the principal statisticians of France ieported to the French Government that “high duties on wool made low prices at home,while low duties on wool, or free wool, made good prices at home.” In that report M. Baudrillard said: “The home” (France) “production is not sufficient for the daily wants of our industry. Every check thrown in the way of the latter affects its activity. As soon as our manufacturers can not procure foreign wool they decrease their production, because they can not find at h une the required qualities, and the French wool, which they wo’d have used to mix in, lies about in the markets/’ Mr. Speaker, I believe if wool were put on the free list today, with a corresponding reduction of tariff on woolen goods, the result would a large increase in manufacturing, a

targe addition to the number of operatives employed, an increase of at least 10 per cent, in the price of wool on the farm, and a reduction of 25 per cent, in price to the people who have to purchase woolen clothes. I know I have been requested by the Democratic Legislature of the State of Ohio to rote to restore the duty on wool.* I have a great respect :or it as a body; I have a great resdect for its individual mem here, so many of whom I know well and favorably. Butj I would not vote in this House to make woolen clothing dearer to the laboring population of this country if every Democrat in the State of Ohio should ask me to do it. [Applause on the Democratic side.] Woe to the party that prognoses to obtain power by makng the expenses of living heavier and the struggle for existence still harder tor those who can scarcely carry it now. The path to victory to such a iarty is through the misfortunes and sufferings of their “‘ellewmen. If lifted into powu it will he on the v shoulders )f taxation and monopoly, and he leaves of its laurel will be mtwined wfth a «sbison vine vhich will cause them to wither, even as they are being gathred. For one, I do not caj-e that he party to which f. belong hall come into powerhnless t shall be to give freer trade o odr people, better investnents to its capital, larger zages to its laborers and reater glory to the American ‘.ame on the high seas and mong the nations of the arth. [Here the hammer .fell, and he gentleman resumed his eat amid great applause.] In discussing ft e Mofrison >ill Mr Hurd cLenfai the right f the Grovemnwmto surrenler the taxing power and al--3W an individual to exercise t. When he eamad wages hey were his own, afid he had he right to expend them mere he pleased. If he co’d lake a better contract with a ■ renchman, a Mexican, a Caiadian,or an Englishman than dth an American he had the ight to do it, and the Governlent had no right to interns©, except in so far as the .eeds of its revenue were conerned. He rested his whole ise on this proposition. That, lbject to the needs of the ‘ tovernment, every man had le right to sell where he co’d *et the best price for what he tad produced and to buy

where he could buy most cheaply. This was an approved doctrine of political economy, and the plainest teaching of justice. It individualized men; it in them a spirit of ’independence; it turned | their eyes from the Government to themselves; it fixed the boundary line between governmental power and personal rights; it limited the authority of public administration; it taught men there was no arm so strong for their support as their own, and no business so successful as that which their ability and skill had built up. It limited the Government within its proper sphere and left individuals free* to choose their own careers, develop thejr own resources and build up their own fortunes. The present American tariff was an embarrassment to commerce and injurious to the carrying trade, and it was a qnestfon of only a bttle time when, under this policy, the American flag would entirely disappear from the high seas. The oceans were free to all; any person might sail whithersoever he pleased, but in this tree for all where was America? The skill of the sailor? Every nation was there asserting itself except ours, and yet this was an oceanbound Republic. Every ripple of the waters on the seashore was an invitation to injure the wealth of foreign nations, and every stormy wave that beat on the crags spoke in thundering- denunciation of the policy that would lock America out of the market. 4 (Loud applause.) God speed the day when* the divine tho’t that man’s brotherhood to manhood would succeed the degrading and humiliating one of nationalization and for eign exclusion. W hat was the effect of this ruinous system on the farmer? It increased the price of all the articles which entered into his daily consumption, and this increase amounted to the annual sum of $45,000,000; for this there was absolutely no ( mipensationinthe protective system. The system operato to increase the price of i.e transportation of grain om the West to the seabo.. d, and from the seaboard to Europe. When the grain of the American farmer reached Liverpool it came in competition with the grain of every other farmer in the world. The protective tariff of America was unable to help him there, and every dollar of increase in the price which transportation occasioned to him diminished his profits and his sales. But the protective tariff* did more injury to the farmer than in the injury it occasioned to his foreign market. It had already robbed America of onehalf of the markets of the world, and India now furnished England with wheat.— The effect of this >n the markets of the United States for the last nine months had been a decrease in .the export of American cereals of more than 848,000,000,‘and wheat had gone down in Chicago to less than eighty cents, and the development of the wheat production of India was entirely the result of the protective policy in America. I say, continued he, to the farmers of America, the prospect before you is not encouraging now, with the elevators and granaries and warehouses all full, the old crop unsold; with vast fields greening to the coming harvests with crops unexcelled in Ina ia; with splendid promise among all the wheat-growing nations, and with the price of Sheat at less than eighty cts., Le result, which will be inevitable, is that the price of wheat before January next will not pay the cost of production, and the corn raised on the Western prairies will again be burned for fuel. In that day the farmers will be beggars in the midst of their own plenty. There is abs > lutely no relief except making a foreign market for agriculture. He went on to argue that the effect of the system was not beneficial to manufacturing interests, but, on the contrary, was detrimental to them, in that it prevented them from securing free raw material. “Oh! that I cbuld inject into the brain of the manufacturers of America one sentence,” he burst forth, it would be this: Turn from

j this constant introspection to the nations of the world. Down with the walls and to sea! There are 2,000,000 people whe want to buy waat I you make. Rise u;. to the truth of j the great thought tha*. these iui* | tn- nae copies can be supplied by you with all the Instruments of hus?bandrv and the tools of artisanship; I but they will not take your goods unless y u take theirs- Let your tarift disappear, and then. O manufacturers! your attention will be diverted from the ho.ue markets to the generous rivalries of foreign trade, in which a wcaltji will come to you of which you do riotdr"am to-day. (Applause.) He then discussed the tariff question as effecting the rates of wages for laborers, declaring that so far as labor was concerned tne Iruits of protection were want, penury and Btai vation- These were the jewels in its crown. He wished worklngmeu would cease to believe in the delusion that protection was a nelp to them. It came in 'the guise es a friend, but was really a mortal foe; its hand was lifted iu aa attitude of be. edictioD, but it was really raised to curse. It never would permit labor to have the full share te which it was entitled of the profits of capital. If employes had not the wisdom to leara *he truth, he hoped this agitation would enlighten the workers and that tnereby their votes would relegate the business to the natural laws of trade. Mr. Hurd went on to give hie reasons way he supported the pending bill, aid ia the course of his remarks, asked if there was anything tn the Morrison bill inconsistent with the Ohio platform? “I will answer yes," interjeoted Mr. Warner, of Ohio. Mr. Hurd—l had hoped ne Democrat on the floor of the House would ever say there was a Democrat!? platform which would not enable the people to tate off the war taxes of twenty-fire years ago [Loud ana contiDuedfapplause on the Democratic side], sad if that be the meaning of the gentlem-iu, then I say, here and now, I shall up eal to the gallant De** mooracy of my native State to repu» diate Jtha heresy of that platform, and I have no fear of the result that it whl place itsel where it ought to be, close to the great National heart of the Democrats of this Nation.— [Renewed applause.] In the glorious result of the struggl • to come, I am sure tbis protective grant robbery and extortion will disappear from the land, never agaiu to offend America, or darken her fair field with its shads ow. [Applause.]

THE TWO CANDIDATES.

Editob Sentinel: One of the dogstars, in this week’s Republican presents the following pen portraits of Mr. Joseph Clark, candidate for Ma.\ shal by virtue of the decision of the Corporation Republican Convention, under tlie dictation of the clique; and Mr. Charles Piatt, who has announce.l himself subject to thejdecieion of th<» People at the polls. I condense; “Mr. Clark is in every way qualified: He is the regular nominee of the party; He has never asked for, or received, assy political favor* His record as a soldier entitles him to the favor of his rellow citizens,” etc,: Of Mr. Plait, he says; “Although he, too, has deserved well of his countrymen, for brave service iu the army, has already been munificently rewarded. Has served two terms a? Sheriff, one term as County Treasurer and two terms as Town Mur hal. He has IODg been the recipient of a generous pension from the government--s24{>er manthetc, So far, therefore, I suppose their connection with the army places both gentlemen on an equal foocing in that regard. Mr. Clark, we believe, received no wounds, otherwise it would have been so s ated. He is fitted for auy kind of manual labor. On the other hand, Mr. Platt suffers from severe wounds, yet unhealed and which may yet cause his death. He is incapacitated for la or, but has and can satisfactorily perform the duties required of Marshal. Tiue. he receives-*-not a generous pension—the mere pittance of $24 per.month for what ho endures, and even this the hyenas and jackals of that party, we are informed.’ sought to deprive him of. The action of Mr. Platt in appeaUng from machine methods to the people,. last year, was far more honorable than were the tricks of the men who plead with and induced him to submit his name before their convention, undsrthe solemn promise that they desired to, and would, make him the nominee, who ignored him entirely in the proceedings and then Insisted that he was in honor bound by its action. He did not feel so, a. dthe people sustained him Against Mi. Clark I mg« nothing except that his submission to those who desire to use turn as an instru® ment with which to punish unother oomrade, should not commend him to the support of that class. I venture to say that I entertain higher sentiments of regard and good will toward Mi'. C. than do those who will simply support him as the 10m inee of their purry. They present no other claim than that in his bshalf in in the conclusion of the article in the Republican.

A COMRADE.

The shocking death of Julian Mar» tlnetti, a circus clown, who fell dead In the ring at Dayton, 0., on Saturday night, while in the very act of launch* ! ing forth a boisterous jest, recalls | in one respect if not in others—the equally sudden death of Palmer, a once famous tragic actor.
