RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY OCTOBER 11. 1889

VOORHEES’ SPEECH AT THE—CARIFF REFORM MEETING,

Scottsburg, Ind, Sept. 21"1889. The Mills bill less than a year ago proposed to make a reduction in tariff taxation on woolen fabrics to the amount of $12,330,000 per annum. This w<*s defeated by the solid vote of the republican leads ers in congress, and the American people still continue the annual payment of this immense sum, while it is claimed that they can buy home manufactured goods in their own markets cheaper than the same kind of goods can be bought anywhere else in the world! Why then refuse to take the tariff off woolens if nobody can comt /here and undersell the American manufacturer? Will it be answer-

ed next that these duties on foreign made woolen goods are required for revenue? On the contrary, it was admitted on all sides that there was a surplus of nearly a hundr j d million in the treasury a year ago, and a large portion of it is still there, notwithstanding the advent of the republican party into power and its peculiar ability to dispose of the public money. Where then, according to the hired organs of monopoly, do the twelve millions and three hundred and thirty thousand go? The broke show that th *y are paid, and paid by the American people who wear woolen clothes, sleep under woolen blankets, and put woolen carpets on their cold floors in the winter time. The democratic party tried hard to repeal them and thus cheapen one of the great staple* necessities of civilized life. The republican party kept it from being done, and now. again JL ask where do these millions paid by ; ou as tax go after they have left your hands ? I will tell you. They are sim; ly a bonus to the manufacturer, something for nothing, neither needed for protection nor but taken by the favored few with the same lawless greed with which a pirate seizes and appropriates a rich cargo on the ocean. The protective tariff as enacted, understood and administered by the republican party was designed and upheld and defended for the very purpose of transferring from your hands to the hands of the robber barons not only the twelve millions on woolens, but mere than twelve times twelye millions a year on everything else. It is only a few weeks since that the tariff beneficiaries extorted from the treasury department an interpretation of the laws wheieby the duties on worsted woolens were raised from 68 to 87 per cent., thus adding 19 per cent to their already enormous profits derived from the sale of worsted goods to vou and such as you. Yet these same extortioners tell you, and have their organs tell you, that they can make and sell cheaper goods of this kind than c r n be

made and sold in any other country in the wor*.d, and consequently can defy competition from abroad. But again: if woolen fabrics are cheap in our markets, why is it that during last year fabrics of tHs kind were imported into this country amounting to $52,564,942, paying over $35,000,000 as tariff duties for the privilege of com ng in, and then selling at such profits as to make them cost the consumers perhaps not less than $ 20,000,000? Could this have been done in markets wjiere the American manufacturer was placing his commodities at lower rates than the imported articles could be placed in their own countries, and before paying transportation, or the enormous duties, all of which were added to the American selling price, to say nothing of the profits that were realized? Such questions answer themselves in all intelligent minds by simply being

If you suppose, however, that the protected cormorants are content with th hug' millions they are already swollowing from day to day and from year to year, and that they*desire no more, you are vastly mistaken. I hear it sometimes suggested, and even by re* publicans who are onest but misled, that the repub 1 ican party will not only cease marauding the homes and fields of the people, but will turn around, take the back track toward honesty, and of itself seek to atone for its enormous sins by a revision of the tariff and a general reduction of tariff taxes. It is impossible to conceive a suggestion or a hope with less fom. option. My republican

fellowncitizens of Indiana, a word with you in all kindness. The people are not the governing power in the councils of your party. The republiean party has a far different master, and one it cannot disobey. The popular will is powerless before the dictates of the amassed, consolidated and concentrated millions in the hands of *he organized, remorseless money power. Organized monopolies, organized trusts have seized upon the leaders of your party as their natural agencies for evil, and you have no more power to escape the widespread anil universal larceny of the present tariff by voting the republican ticket than you would have to escape the devilfish if he had you in his elutenes in the depths of the sea.

The buccaneers of the money power, of the plutocracy which seeks to govern by the naked force of money, and is now successfully doing so, replenish their coffers, or rather their pirate caws, with hundreds and With thousands of millions stolen from the labor of men, women and children, and then from corrupt fountain-heads they pour back upon the ballotbox, and into all the precincts of the elections, polluting and corrupting streams composed of your own money. Thus the ascendancy of. the republican party depends primarily on amassing monev and the power of money, in the hands of the unscrupulous, unprincipled but privileged few who in turn furnish the means and dictate the policy of political debauchery and crime. There is here a condition of mutual dependency. The leaders of the republican party depend on the manufacturing monopolists for corruption with which *to carry elections, and the manufacture g monopolists on their part depend on the leaders of the republican party for the flagitious legislation wherewith they obtain such funds, and aggrandize themselves besides. The whole system is filled with wickedness, and is putrid with politi al immoralit . It will never be cleansed or reformed within the party which created if. The appetite of avarice increases by indulgence. Like the hunger of the

glutton, or the thirst of the drunkard, it can never be appeased, but incessantly cries for more, and more, and more. Look for a moment at the history of attempted tariff legislation within the last year. The maw of deat was never more voracious than the demands of the monopolists within that time. When the Mills bill came over last fall from the demo* l eratic hens-* of representatives to a republican senate, with the n operate and conservative tariff reduction of $53,720,000, to say nothing of the further reduction of $24,455,000 in the internal revenue, the finance eommittee of the senate met it with a motion to strike out all after the enacting clause and insert as a substitute a bill which was truthfully described by the democratic minority of that committee in these words: “Practically, the substitute of*» fers the people free whisky and free tobacco, leaving all the expensive machinery for the collection of the revenue and enforcement of the law in full force, while it increases taxation upon the act. ualand indispensable necessar;e 8 of life, this, too, when there

a large surplus in ihe treasury, and under existing laws that surplus is being increased at the rate of $10,000,000 per month, thus withdrawing and withholding from the channels of trado, commerce and business of the coun ry money absolutely necessary to their successful operations.” When this measure was under discussion in the senate, it was found that in eleven of its schedules out of the fourteen it contained, the aggregate amount of tariff taxation was increosed, and especially so on the prime necessities of life, and the cheaper commodities among the laboring masses. The schedule on wool and woolens was a striking illus,tration of this fact. Therj was not a single article in [it which escaped an increased rate of duty.

Our Modus Operandi. .

We are content with “Small Profits.” We believe that “Quick Sales” result therfrom and enables us to replenish stock and receive another small profit. The merchant who follows this plan cannot fail of success, and at the same time give his patrons something nearer an equivalent for their money. Re - member “Nimble Sixpen e.”— ‘Small Profits and Quick Returns” kept in perpetual n otion does a power of trood all around—it dispenses its blessings alike upon the seller and the buyer. It is the sue - cessful plan of the) Chicago Bargain Store.

The cl airman of the Indiana Tariff Reform League, enumeratng the things which the friends of the Chinese system of an exclusive home market claim for a protective tariff, says: ‘ They point to our restored union and say protec tion did all this. They call attention to the natural development of our vast resources and tell us we owe it all to high taxes. They tell you tnat you are all prosperous and that you owe your prosperity to a ready home market at high price, and that protection gives you this wonderful home market They compare your condition in this sparsely setthd, new country, with that of the poorest peasant in old crowded Europa and tell you that all the difference is due to protection. These are only a few of the falsehoods they resort t . They do not tell you, howe.er, that protection has driven our flag from the ocean, that their grand institution has taken from the many and given to the few until the rapid growth of millionaires and paup era has become phenomjnal. They do not ted you farmers that you

have bought in a highlv protected market and sold m the open market of the world, until farming, which ought to make good return ou the money invested, is poorest paid of all industries; that under the magnificent system a large portion of the finest farming land in the Mississippi valley is plastered with mortgages given to securelloans made from residents of bleak and sterile Mew England. You are borrowing back the money the government has compelled you to donate m the form of a tax to these favored classes, and if you do not keep your interest paid, you will have to surrender your farm to them and become thei r tenants. I refer to these fac's to show you that you are interested in the work of tariff reform.

If you want to save a hardearned dollar (“a dollar saved is a dollar earned”) go to the Chicago Bargain Store for Dry Goods, Hats, Caps, Boots, Shoes, Underwear, Notions, Tinware, etc. It is said that to “Hang a smal sack of sulphur in a bird cage and it will rid ysur birds of all insects.’
