If we ar to continue our government of u oi venal snffrase, I insist that we dare not illow any considered number of our citizens to sink into poverty and ignorance. If we do allow it, we shall ultimately He driven to a limitation of the suffrage nd the depriving of the ritfht to vote a larB clas of oar fellow-citizens. Hut this mean taxation without representation. For one Iain prepared to rebel arainst the bard conlitions which the hi;h laxer by cia-s legislation aein likely to laipose upon us. I am not willin? to take this s.ep 1 aw kward. I insist that the man who pays to support the government and I vears arms in its defense sha.I be allowed to vote. Let us not be content that one citizen is the equal of every other eitirn before the law. We should s ' farther than that. We should humanely look after the temporal and material aa well as the political condition of the cilijren. Upon three thiuir more than upou all else depend the perpetuity of our self-government: The intelligence of the Toter, the absolute fairness of the government with all its citizens, the maintenance upon an equality of their temporal condition and comfort as nearly as may be In strict justice to all. It is apparent that in the distribution of mental sifts Providence does not serve all the children of men alike. To some he Rives too talent, to oth'r tit one. These latter, of necessity, are compelled to rely upon the lator of their hands aione for a livelihood. They are our weak brothers, but they are voters, and I insist that the legislation of the country hall not di-criminatc against them. Kaiher let it e iu their favor. Thus aaith the scriptnres: "The rich eateth "p the r The poor ye have always with you. Who so inocketh the poor desptse'h his Laker.

Wednesday's Dailr Sentinel. The foundation of an Indiana reform leajrne was accomplished yesterday with a srrand and e'ärjal fcuccoM. The result has surpassed the .the expectations of even the most sanguine promoters of the movement. The echoes of one campaign hr3 hardly died away, until can le heard the tramp of an innumerable hovt, preparing for another battle with eyes jjlistcninsr with confidence and absolute surety of ultimate victory. The tarilf reformers of In ii.ma have decided that there is no surplus at least there will not le any at the cud of f ;ir years. Hungry hordes of eras pin 1; robber and uuscnmuloiu pirates, who have just he-jn elevated into power by a minority, will soou mr4ke ducks and drakes of the eot'ntryV surj'.us.

After the election of vice-presidents the deleeation from each congressional district selectin? its own vice-president, the committee on resolutions made its report, thronrh. Judije Isaac N. Pierce of Terre Haute, a life-loni; republican and a man who voted for Harrison. The resolutions were as follows: We, as representatives, chosen from anion? the people of Indiana, who believe in "tariff reform," now In convention assembled, do declare: 1. That the system of federal taxation now in ep-rtion. framed in the first place to meet the exigencies of war, and afterward modified only to meet the demands of avarice and satisfy the exactions of ri;ani.ed greed, is unequal in the distribution of Hm burdens, vicious in principle, iniquitous in its practical application, and, if maintained, will ultimately subvert, as it now undermines, the foundations of our liberties. 2. We know that this system could not be maintained for a day but lor the fact that its practical workings are dhiruised by indirect methods, and that the masses, overburdened to support it, have not been able to discover, is they should know, hw the reins with which they are driven are held in the hnnds of monopoly, and the heavy load they patiently draw is for th lap o! luxury. We therefore do hereby pledge ourselves to devote our energies, our time and our talents t. ihe buildin? up 01 an organisation in Indiana through whic h the people may be supplied with such literature and other means of education as will brina; home to them a lull realization of the burdens entailed upon them ht this system. nnl if os.hle arouse such a ispiri. resist. ine? to tie methods of the monopolist and h;s ailies ns will rt,d.T it imp ssi'vl tT x uom to further deceive the rulers bv false Ictc to niilral them by s do or dead ismes or to corrupt them hy the m 'iliols of the txiodiei. To this end we incik t!ie aid and eo-operation ofeveiy citizen of oir ftate without regard to partv who W'üeves that our V'vcrnmciit should be ad mini - tered in th. i-pirit in which it was foiiiitlei a. id that our cpisiiiy before the law should he maintained in fact as it isjpiarantfsd in form. mm i;.

The th inks of the convention were extended to the officers ot the convention and to the proprietor of the tfrand hotel for courtesies extended to the committee on arrangement. The following resolution was also adopted with cheers: ltesolve,i. That this convention tender its tbanks to Tiik IsriANAfOLts S'rNTi v e;. for its un (linchicg advocacy ot tho cause of t triö'ref irm. Mr. Hunter of Iiwrencebunj sail The Sentinel had been the ablest pajer on the quo, tion of taritf reform in the United Mates, and he would make no exceptions. Then followed a number of brief addresses on the general subject of the tarirtl Mr. S. FMorss, of THE ISENTIN'EL, said he believed th it the war tariff must soon be abolished. He thought ihat in the ue.xt four years the people ot the United States would have manv valuable object lessons ou the subjecL The stiar bounty would serve to show them, in a measore, what tribute they were paying to the protective classes, and ail the incentive needed to make people take up arms against the protective system of robbery was that they should have an understanding of the cost to them of that iniquitous system. lie paid a high tribute to the democratic press of the state for its vigorous, intelligent and earnest fight for the abolition of war taxation. Mr. T. V. Hall ui the Terre Haute Ga-.rtt was loudly called for, and, iu resnuse, made a "rattlinir' speech. lie said that the delegates present were assembled tor the purposse of organuine. They all underto..d the subject as v eil as he. He said that if a man had the tariti"
reform fever he had it bad. He proposed to conduct his paper in the interest of the party Thich ruost nearly approached his ideas 011 the tariff' question. If the republican party should (but he didn't believe it would (adopt a policy more in line with tarilf reform than the democratic party, he would tnke his paper out of the democratic party into the republican. His illustrations were apt aud tirneiy and elicited much applause. After Mr. Hall's speech the convention adjournal to meet at Tomlinson hall in the evening. A MASTERLY ADDRESS. The Hon. C. Harrow of Illinois I'oints Out the In quitles ,,f tli Trif. The meeting ot Tomlinson ha'l list evening wrs "t-iiri!ar!y" sL'uitjeunt. I'oers of wellknown and nctive republicans of this city could be seen interspersed throughout the audience. When JuJ-i Hoimua stepped forward at 8 o'clock there were fully a thousand people present, ani they continued to arrive until" o'clock. Judue Holtum, in a lew short words of a complimentary nature, moved that Mr. Kobert tieihks, a merchant of Terre Haute, be runde the presiding cfTicer for the evenice. Mr. Oeddes was unanimously requested to take the. chair, which he. accepted n the spirit in which it w,n oflered. He said it was more pleasant for hiui to look in the fece of intelligence which erected his siht. The meeting was not held tor the purpose of assisting the republican cause nor furthering a democratic movement, nor for rendering aid to the prohibition party, but it wns for the education of the people as to the iniquity of a protective tariS'upon the necessities of life. Mr. Cieddes in one of the wealthiest and most respected men of Terre Haute. He was previous to the recent tariff reform movement a strong republican, but has since ideutiQed himself with the üemoeratie party. Mr. (eddes then introduced to the audience the speaker of the evening. Mr. C. S. Harrow, an attorney of Chicago. Mr. Harrow is a youn; man, but lie attracted widespread attention durinir the campaign for his ruajrniiieent speeches in behalf of tariti' reform. His etlort last nieht was one of the finest ever delivered in the hall, and he was constantly interrupted by the most uproarious applause. He poke for nearly two hours and a half, and upon the conclusion of his address the nieetini adjourned until called together again iu the future. Mr. Harrow said anions other things: When tho untutored avae naluro'n oldest child tirst occupied the earth ami freely roamed where h'.' could, ao t took as he wished, nis wa'cs weie the full amount that Ids strength and cunniu? enabled him to gather from the elements of nature, the earth, the sea, 1 he air, from whiih all production is originally drawn. In those primitive days, ere yet the soil had len pareo e l out t-t individual owners, and before the accumulated earnings of by-K nc d.iy ba 1 rine 1 into capital, each was his own employer, aud his waves, tixed bv nature, were lue lud product of bis toil. Ii, then, natural vat are the undivided amount that the energy aud skill of man brings forth, it follow that n hate ver adds, to this sma increase s natural wa?e.st too. I'rom the time man first evertsd energy to satisfy his wants his constant endeavor has ever lieen to obtarn the u;rati;si aiiioiint lor t tie smallest evpenditure of time and strength. This desire so naturalljlea Is him to exchanii': the products uf üls own handiwork for that of others whenever he can profit bv it, that ia a'.l lands and aires tt has required artificial laws to keephitu from it. The desire to bette r our Condition by fret excli.in-e is as natural as coir breath: it prompts th-cuiid to trade bis imrbies f. r a horn, the Iudiun to baiter bis furs for a fclrin of hc.-dt, and calls into beim nil tbe marvelous instruments and toots of trade that have no helped to civilize the world and mini-ter to the wants oi man. The Kb a of ownini proje-rty instinctivcjly carries ith it the consei.iusnese of the. riht to use-, to sell or to barter, aa the isse-or sbail tc fit; and until that prlvileeo shall be obtained, until man, moved by avarice and fjreed, shad no loiurer seek tor mean and selfish end to deny this freedom to bis feliow-iuan, until that dav comes, human liberty will tntil) a dream. Few have eer realized ihc wond.-rful aid to production resting iu tho simple rinht to buy and sell. In fact, without the freedom of exchange, the powor of tna i and nature in this direction would com t almost for nansbt. To think what would le the condition of the race with all riht of trad- denied, we have but to imagine a banian being isolated troia his fellows, and compelled, unaided, lo satisfy his every want. The power to exchange tbe product of rey toil for that of others, glvea me the libcrtr to pursue the 3allin7 nature bas most nearly formed me for, to perfect myself in my special art, and satisfy my every want, by commanding the services of those others, who, like me, have ignored all other trad.s, that they tuight Blaster one. It baa, in eSect, tuaio
me a specialist in every art aud craft. It has permitted the division of labor without which all tbe marvelous machinery of the present couid never have been utilized to contr.hute to our want With the rmhtto exchange whoilv denied, man would once more ee(l on roots an I U-rries, elotiie himself in t.kin r.nJ riee for shelter to ibe forest and cave. The Ire ri.'ht V but and s II cuanot deprive a la'sirer of a chance to work; it can simidv add some
thing to the pr-nluct of bis toil. tor. whatever the ; price of foreign wares, thu Ame rican Is powerless to buy incm until his genius and latwr has prouncea an article se i. A commodity is not purchased because the eiler can make it more cheaply than the buyer, but because the purchaser can produce, the article he sells to better a lvantntre than tho one he buys; he simply exi haues something that he needed less for something that he needed more. Suppose a workman posessel of rj'i property whatever, hut having the knowledce of the way to make a pair oi sho - and access to the tools and material needed in th dr construction, iita down at the bench to produce them, as in the olden time. In the great factories, with their improved machinery, eiiiht pairs td shoes r day ar;' made for each hand employed, while the solitary workman Is busily engaged from morn till nitht on one. In this case can tho isolated mechanic buy the shoes more cheaply than be can make them at th?le!irh? By no means. He can not purchase them at all. He can only procure them of another if he finds some employment by which he can produce auother article to exchanta for what he wants; aod if he can make this article in a hortT tint than he could have made the sh.-s he will not complain, even th iimh by the use of his wi's he has deprived himself of hours of toil. The fact that any man or nation Is constantly bovin; ffoods from others. Is conclusive evidence that they are also busily occupied producing somethine which they s,.t. The ship load of erain, the product of American labor, that is landed in Liverpool, is exchanged, directly anil indirectly, for a load of goods that are worth more in the American market than the rrain; thus, by exchange, the merchant has added to the product of the farmer on our western prairie, and to his nation's wealth ; but to the Lnglishman across the sea the grain is of more vabie than the goods, so he, too, has profited by the trade. We do not come to the workiogman and urce npon him the high ethical doctrine that it is his duty to do what some other nation wished him not to do; we do not say destroy protection that you may harm your brethren across the sea, but we say that iu nature Is all-p'-r-vading law of justice, which renders it impossible to harm vour neighbors unless you also harm yourself. And likewi.se, you cannot improve the condition of ny oth-?r un!e.-s the coid eflort that you matte acts aud reacts upon all humanity and does something to lift th" who'e mas to a higher plane. Tbe nntrainm l sl rikdit to buy and sell is like "the quality of iu rcy ;" "it is twice blessed ;'' "it blesseth him who gives and him who takes." Commerce has been the greatest civillzer of the earth; it u called into existence the sbip, with her white wins and throbbing heart, and sent her laden with her freight of tinman soots to penetrate the mists and darkness h inking over unknown lands. It has iiiad -a cb;:rt cd the trackless sea, and over '.h ou its pioneers have traveled to the dark st corners oi the lobe, with' the tirst irlad t idine- of the coming morn. It has given us thi railroads which binds with cords oi unity and steel all nations in a common ci'tisP. H has carried lh civilization, literature, ort anil religion oi one land :,nd showered thes. I k ' the (l. wi of haven, iikii another to coax forth the tlo.vors of I'u'it and life from th moidy and deeayiroj "uper-'tiuohs of the pM. It h.is, as if by marie, touched th.- enmity aud hatred between foreign !iits, ami. fM-iritintf to a common raus1, opened the heart t man to feel the tirst faint throh o! Ihat universal Im-th, rliood which in future time is to uuit the worn! in b.1,1 is of love, and le the bromi. substantial renting place of a civilization yet unborn. If t lit n the proposition Iv accepted, that frco exchange irodrces wealth, it ought ai lea-t to he preMir.icd that it adds to wares, too. It certainly devojvos ujwin the protectionists to explain how a systcnt thai ai ls production can decr-ras the toiler' share. li lariflflaws can add anything to the reninnerat inu of lalKr, it c rniiot lie lie-cause of pr.hluction. but of distribution, l.ct us then discover, if possible, wheth'T tari a" taxis change natural distribution, an 1. if so, do they divert a greater portion to laln.r than it otherwi se cool I claim' A protective tari:! is a lax levie 1 on foreign goods, hieb eiio icli to cither ko.p t hem out or at least etiahie the home producer to obtain more for his articles thin as If he sold th-tn in th ;o.en markets of be world. The theory ot the advocate f proteelion S' far as he deigns to the iriei is, that if tne law is so shaped a to atlox the nianufacttirer (o receive more for b.s coods than would I possible withotil th.1 tax, be wi.l psv higher wages to those whom he empioys. It will by observed that the question to be settled is nt, can tin-employer pay hiihiT wages liecauj-e of protection, but dtves he pay Ihem. It is scjircr Iy Pc-c -sary to observe that employers do not pay hih wnges because they can, but only because they must. In view ot this fact, let ns seo how a tari ft" diverts any extra portion to the toiler's share. r-uppose the gentleman at my right is a believer in protection, and that labor may be hotter paid, hi purrhases a stove for $1 which, under free trade, he could have bouebt for flo. I-t us now see w hat becomes ot the extra prtce the consumer is compelled to pay ? A great many people have yet never leen able to discover where it we nt. This added cost is tirst paid to the retail dealer, from whom the stove was bought; but the price he gets i.s base.l on what the wholesale dealer chartrd to him, who, in turn, is governed by what he paid the manufacturer who made the stove. This five-dollars' worth of protection, then, less the proßt, w hieb the dea.ers charge for the money invested in the tax, goes back to the manufacturer who made the goods. ls-s it stop here, or go further yet? If all those eogai; -d in toe manufacture of stoves can pool their issues i:i a trust they can then regulate the number iiiad, n-i thev may chnrge the price they wish, re-g;rdie-of the Cost. No other way exists to increase l-rioe, except lo plai-c a limit on production and bring at-out that penacea which is the protectionists' cure lor ad social ills scarcity and want. When the bounty paid by our friend on the article be bouirht has li en safely lodged in the pocket of tbe man who made the st. ve, what pow r is there to get it out? The cost of this comiiiodiiv to the manufacturer is lar.'eiy covered by two Items: tbe amount he pavs to labor, and the cost of the material from which the article was made. Most oi 'he other expenses may in their i,t:mate anaivsjs be charged t these items too. The laborer has no power to form a perfect combination with all of those who toil, so he can only obtain from bis employer the amount bis commodity w i.l bring in th fr- e, unprotected market cd th" world. iiit thoe who own the mines, from v. hi. h the ore an 1 coal juid othr raw material is drawn, 1 ;ni mnke a combination more pence t even than the iiiunuTjcturers of the goods. , betwen the-e ivo a coiitliet miirbt arise, v.-itb the odds in favor of those whoo'Ui tl" enrth. but for the mutual forb ar;:pc ot the rei iji ntoi th bounty bestowed h; tli-ir teliow-mart, doubTle biecight about by tie fear that any controversy between the two miht re- i!t in harm to both.

L -t us st if the erleid of the tariff" taxes cannot be iliu.stralei so plainly that a wayfaring man, though a protectionist, cannot fail to see it. Imagine a line drawn through the center of ihis room to represent the Atlantic ocean. On the right hand is Kugland; on the left is the United Mat a. We will say that the laboring man on the right, because of the" density ot imputation and tb". sc:ircity of land, are cotnn idled to work more cheaply than those on the left, et us suppose, for instance, that there are 1,000 people on the. leit, in the United States, dot) of whom are farmers, rT laboring men and twenty-five emjilovins manufacturers, engaged, for instance, in making dollies, in their various stages of completion. In some mysterious way the twenty-tive men control the election and tha legislation of the country. They are engaged in making clothes, which they cou.d sell at a prolit of fr Miit. I bey must sell them at Ihat rr'iv or the farmers and la!orers will cross this line and buy th ui over here. The manufacturers 011 th.? left suddenly conceive the plan of putting a tax of .Vi per cc-nt.' on clothing In Its various forms. The consumer, who then goes across the lines, paying !S for a suit, must give the eovi rtimcnt ft more hen he reaches the tax gatherer on the tiorder. This will enable our manufacturer ti sell hi3 clothes at tl- for each suit. The workingmcn, having knowledge of the added price the producer is allow. 1 to ask, I mined iatelv strike lor higher pav ; thereupon the mill owner si m ply cros-oa this 1 and hires other laborers to take their place. ( ;;n anyone possibly ruurcive how such a law can add iniytldtig, however smnii, to the workers' wagi-s. The tari it" leaves the employer the right to freely tiny the labor that he n -ed in any market where he will, while it protects the commodity which be has to sell, but it leaves the workmen to eoinpet freely with the world in all be sells his toil hut taxes every article lie buys. I could Imagine a di tier: tit tariil wail from this.'tuppose tho laborer made the law and should decree that goods might fri ly come aeio-ts this line, but no workingman niioiiid le allowed lo pass; in that case foreigu co.jpetition would tix the price of tiiu article the nianuiaetiirer hnd lo sell, and a perf -ct organlrattou oi labor would give the workitigmau the power to forco from his emplover nil he otherwise might make. Hut we have never beard of a protectionist who so loved the poor as to advocate a wall like lhi: and yet a law that excluded foreign workmen, that home njieratIves might have good nay, would tend as much to raisss the j.rh-c of g-wls as the protection oi commodities, ci 'mm to inerea-ie the ialxrer's w.ig If then, the tarirt lails to benefit thu workman, let us see if it d'tes not do him harm. It bas always been considered just that each erson should contribute to the government In proportion to his ability to lar the. burdens of tho state That tho man worth j'.Vsw should pay twice as much as the man worth one, aud the millionaire be taxed ou his property, in proportion to the other two is in keeping with the system we adopted in supportin? the wants of the city and the state; but tariil' taxation :s based upon a different principle from this. In maintaining tbe national government, aud our national wards, the protected infants, the tax-payer Is not asked the quest lou what are yon wortb? bnt he is met with the simply query, bow large a family do you support? This system of taxation says to tho man with eight chii Iren, you uiuut pay more
than the mau with four, and to the man with four, that he must pay more than his neighbor wiih but one; and even he must contribute for the bachelor win any live in single blcednesi to escape tho tari J" tax he dhcrwi must bear It sny to tin: man who earns 011.3 thousand dollars per year, and spei. Is ,." 1 f r food, clothing and shelter for inns,.-!,- and bis, that at least b."'i of this sum shall V taken ft v,i him by urirl taxation, lear-in-r him S-Wi exempt from this sp-cie of extortion. It says to the mau who receives s5 13 and spends tin satua amount as the tlr-t, that he, too, must pay?ö) in the s:ine way, leaving him but M il free from tax ; but it says to the poor lalxirer who ears but 5'U, the average toiler' yearly wage, iu this protected land, you, too, must f ay Jöo to the government ami its protected pauper's, even though it takes th'.'lasi penny from vour wife and bibc. This system of robbcrv. call! protection, sars to every txor toiler in the land, if your neighbor has an income by which he saves one thousand, ten thousand, or a million dollars iu a year, this whole auioiiat is his. and no national tax-gatherer, or monopolist shall have the riwhl to say to him, divide; but to you, who work for scanty wage, who earn a dolla- by your hard day's toil and mut part with it a night "to keep the wolf outside the door, to you it co.ues with honeyed words, and whispering false pledges in your ear, contrives to get a portion ot your sorely-needed mite, and lesve yon still its friend. Verily hath it been written down "that from him who haih mtirh little shall be taken, and from him who hath little shall tie taken even that which he hath." I think 1 never fully understood this text until I studied tho philosophy of protection. Bnt the burdens that th-i tari If lay on lahor do ret end here. If work is a lioon to be desired, as tbe protectionist has ever taught, then every one should have the freest chance to employ his time and skill. The tariff constantly preveuts this chmce; in numerous ways It places obstacles in the workman's path to hinder and impede his steps. It begins by heavily taxing the raw material which be must mold and form ; next the tool and implements w ith w hich he works; the house in which he lives, the fuel that he burns, the garments with which be and his family are clothed, and much of the food on which they lire. All these trvngs he in effect must buy. and that he may not obtain them easily they are taxed, to make them scarceand dear; there is but one thing that he has to sell his labor; aye, his life and that Is free from protective laws, and no monopolist has ever yet been heard to raise his voice or shape an act to make this dear. The wages of labor depend upon the amount of work to be jerforrued and the number of hands to do it ; whatever then will give ialor a better chance to exert ileelf, a greater opMirtiinity to produce, must, inevitably increase its wages. The first step toward bettering the condition of labor is to remove its bonds; (lace no restriction in its path; raise no
monopolies with wealth and power to com hat ami circumvent the poor and weak. Place no shackles on the workman s hands wiien be reaches out to grasp from mother earth tiie coal, and wood, and ore, to shape and fashion for the use id msti ; but srive him f hene cmhnriencd by n tux and free 1 front extortion's cruel gra-p. l.et no man touch with sacrilegious hands the tools and implements w ith which hu works, or have the power to s:iy to him, tintd you hrihe me to you cannot toil, tiivc bim a chance to provide a home in which to live, tbe foul and clothing for himself and his, and all things el-c he needs, to th" KM ad van 1 10 that he can. No longer bv the power of hard and cruel laws forc him to pay his fellow-man a tax lor til-; right to livo and t" i ; ihen give to him toe power lo exchange the product of his labor where he will, pud obtain for this the m.'st he can. liive him the freedom of the sea, let rh ' wind and warn '.ear the fruit of his labor and his brain ir.t the fr.s, open markets of lh world to hy for Iii in the product of other lands and climes; when this is done you have cut the cor Is that monopoly lias woven around the limbs of honest toil; when this is done labor will rise with the strength and spirit of a hereuies unbourit.and will laugh to -corn the rules that man would make to override the laws of (iod. What labor needs to-day is an opportunity to reach out for tbe markets o: ilu- ui Id ; this effort wi I cause more competition among; employers for workmen and less among workmen for employers, which will, 1. f course, increase the toilers' share. It is a fallacy to snpjs.se that the Ani 'rican laUirerwill receive no larger wages than the foreigner if tho markets are o'n for free exchange. The United States is ihe richest nation, in natural resources, cm thecartb; her in-titut Ions are young and democratic; caste has not yet torel tiie'major.ty ii.to tho condition of serfs, bound for all time to support ati arttoeraey above. The spirit of liberty, with its power to inspire and animate the human soul, is yet young in her people's lua.t-; with nil these a 1 vantages, no nation n the tarih cm, or does, produce like the I nitid Mates. No latxjre.rs in auy land work so hard and chee-fully as ours, and be it said to the shame of the unjust laws, under which ih-y lire, none receive so small a portion of the product of their toil. Kvery foreigner who bas made Ihis land his home knows that in America labor produces far more than in his native laud; still but a small part of this extra Froduct is added to the portion of the workingnian. ligh wages always means cheap production. A country where wages are low can never long comp te with a nation where labor is letter paid. The halfstarved ialiorerof Kgypt. t'hina and Mexico cannot compete with the be tt r-paid woi knien of Kurope, and "fn trade" England, wi;h her high wages, undersells the cheap labor of France, Germany and Italy with thtirccnturies of protection. The Uuited States sells her farm products aeros the Sea, although she pays her laborers higher wages than any European state; she would sell her manufactured articles as well if tho fluekbs that bind her were removed. The slave latior of the South could never comiete "with tho Ire labor of the North; for iutelligc nee, energy, aud ability will always triumph over Ignorance, weakness and despair. The. strong never neel protect i in against the weak. The Ann rican laborer rati care for himself if he but has a chance; give him freedom, the opportunity to use his skill and strength, make him a man, and rest assured that in the battle of the nation he will relied credit on his native land. To say to the American laborer that he needs protection is an insult, to tell him hetias ever bad it, is a lie. hut the protectionist says that the American working man receives the high st wnges In the world, and therefore taxation is a blessing. 'Ihe Knssijns have for years lived under high tariti' laws, and their l.iliorers are serfs; is protection responsible for this? The;-e are many reasons why the ltudan laborer Is poor, and many why tho American working man is netter ot!'. America, as 1 have said, is the most fertile nation un the earth: the pioneer found here a virgin contiDt-rit eager to sho- r bs blessings 011 ail who nsit,.,). ",) landlord's hand was then outsi! ptche 1 to demand j portion of the product of the earth. No army, n.ilocrary, or privileged class was here to live upon another's toil ; but the hand that sow td the seed r aped tiie f-ill harvest that the generous earth brought forth. As the population of our country rapi'lly increased, still away to our west v. as a va-l stretch of fcr'Ke public land, where tho poorest laborer was free to toil, and no man would serve another lor a small'T jiortlun than he could earn by wo.-l ipg for hiuisell. i.ut as tliis vacant territory (.ra lually melted away through the homestead and the railroad grant this opportunity tor the employment oi urplüs lalvor constantly grew less, aud, there 'oi e. the American, like the Kuro' an, workman le iame more aud more eleperident upon others t -ir a chance 1 1 toil. As the pressure of population increased, the share taken by land and capital constat tiy grew iargcr, aud the amount l.-it to labor became proH.irtioiiaiely b sj. Ihn even How land in America is ea-vof aece-s compared with theoi.ier natHMis, and with freedom v.3,'cs would be much increased. 1 ngiand is nearly twenty times a densely populated as the United Mates. It must lie evident that the po-r of land and capital to t.Ve from la'ior is greater there than her', mid without the right lo trade her workmen could not live. AVe are told that prot-ction is good for the laborer, bocause the Uniie,l States has increased rapidly in wealth in the last twenty years; that wealth has increuseei is true, but lroiu iv'.( to ls-vi, under protection, the n was not so great iu proportion as from lSloto 100. under comparative free trade. Hut if the nation bas increased in wealth in the twenty years just gone, what portion of the community has profiteil by tbe pain . Has any share of this increase gone to the men who toil? i n the contrary, they are more dependent now than twenty years ago, an.l during that time wages have steadily declined. Tbe wealth of a country is not always a measure of the prosperity, happiness aod contentment of Its people. I'm is not aa infallible sign of health, and whin a small iortion of community are extremely fat, there is grjd reason to presume that a large number are very lean. Under the benign influence of protection the distance between I'ives and Lazarus has grown wider as each year rolls by; magnitie-ence and splendor are present on every hand, but the hovel with its penury and want are crowding ep m the mansions of the rich. Along with the great increase of wealth from l70 to ls.o, our census gives othe-r figures that should 1 studied by all who love their native land. I'uring thai ten years of high protec tion, the males oyer sixteen years of ags, employed in factory and mill, increased g. per cent., but the women in the samo occupation during this lime increased lit per cent. ; and the lit!l children below sixteen years of age, in the factory and mill, increased Ö. per cent What force during these years of plenty bas Ifen tearing the w if from the workman's home and his children from the school? It is the greed of those whom your unjust laws have maele rich and gn at that is'sending 'fathers, husbands and brot lie rs to t tie street and tilling up the factories w ith the mother and the tender child. In Ihe name of humanity, has not proierty leen protected ot.il. enough, aud shall we not now do something forthep.Hir and weak? !ut we hear the iucstion asked why do foreigners come to America if wage are no U tter than at home? Many have sought our shores that they might catch a breath a', liberty's pur. air and live iiutraiiiin -lcd by the unjust laws and cutomsof their native land; others have come chiefly from protected states, thai in a new nation, with abundant reeources, they miciit find employment for their time and skill. And others yet have cotuo becn-e protected lords have gone across the sea, and in their poverty ami rags have so.iiiht them out to fill their factories and mines in place of those who had dared ak honest pay for honest work. l ut intelligent workingmcn have long since ceased t rely on the tariff to regulate their wages; they formed themselves into organizations that Ihey might w est trom their employers a larger rtiou of the product of their loll. And in every trade aod calling the wages of the artisan depends not upon tho tariff on tho commodity he makes, but upon the strength of the or raniation w hirh controls his craft. I do not txdiev'e that the abolition of protection will give perfect Justice to all who toil. Even with the, unrestricted right u buy and soil the battlo for lalior's elevation will but be comiuenecel. Laws are meant to bej ihe rules of action pre-icrib-Iiir the conduct that eacdi ejiie mu-t observe to give the greatest freedom and happiness to all. Tin so rules, through all ages, havo frequently been mad ( by the strongest class to wrve th. ir s - cia' ends, not for the common good, and the tint step forward toward the elevation of the oppressed must be the abolition of privileges, the re m al of all enactments formed to serve a selfish end. The citizen must le arn that governments are red formed to deal out benefit to any class, but for the .mutual pewKi of all. In stmrt, we must dron the time-dishonored, snul-dehasing principles of paternalism and substitute tbe divine doctrine of Iraternalisui In its stead. Protection teachers tbst tbe good to one can be obtained by working a corresponding injury to the rest; that tbe fortune of the Aiuerioan may come through ihe misfortune of our brethren mother lands. It teaches that the bent evidence) of the lort
we bear to our countrymen Is the hatred we manifest for the world outside. It is tha incarnation of selfishness and greed, and it fa'sely clothes the ineaneit attributes of man ia patriotism's noble garb. 1 believe that in no land or ago, since man has served bia feliowenaii, has the laborer yet received the lull product of his toil ; ho stands to-dav before the world with callous ha ds and furrowed brow, his heed bowed low with thought and care, cheaply clothed, and housed aud fed and begging for the night to serve he stands a living challenge to the system that takes from hiui so much and gives so little lack. I belie-ve th time will come, nav, is coming now. when tho-e who toil will tie the only ones who have; when the tierce anil bitter warfare of strife ami competition, which take s from tho weak to deliver to the. strong, will be niehed and fused into the humane nd helpful cvBiein of co-operation and mutual aid. Viien each, looking abroad overall humanity, will siek not to serve his sellish enis, but the common, weal: "When npn to man, the world o'er, shall brothers be, for a that." When that comes, tho day for which philanthropists have ever dreamed and worked, theu want, and snifering, and crime will be banished from the earth. We cannot reach the goal to-day ; nay, our eyes may never rest upon the promised land, but we, at least, can march in the direction where it lies. That end can never come by developing the selfishness of the human e iuI. It can never come by raising here snd there some being high above his fellowman ; it ran only como by lifting up the mass at once. Humanity is like tbe sea, tosed by the tempest ard the gale, driven here and there by every blast, in one spot lilted for a moment to the clouds, and in another sinking swiftly to the earth. Hut ever in the fury of the storm a' silent all-prevading force is smoothing down ibe crest, raising up the deep and establishing the level and the ealrn. So the laborer ever comes and goes, each individual unit is but an atom in the mighty whole, and cannot long stand high above the rest; its condition must be improved, not by working at the top. but raising up the depths below. The either day I saw some workmen rearing a steeple toward tho clouds by placiug one brick upon another, far into the mist above; but, however high they built the tower, tbe great structure underneath was not eiisturlied; bad they raised the foundation lielow even the pinnacle would have been lifted too. S) w ith society, all the elevation and refinement above, while below, the mass is held in mire and dirt is a mockery and a sin. More than eighteen hundred years ago a great social reformer u. tight the foundation truth of political economy, in a simple, moral principle, which shall live so lone as truth and justice hall find a resting-place in human souls, ftanding among His disciples lie announced tbe doctrine of tho universal brotherhood of man. And no e.fort, whether made by the economist or the laborer, that d .es not accent and act tifxin this truth can benent the world. It is idle an 1 criminal to raise society by building caste on caste; the stream caunot rise above the source, and humanity is the foundation head. Protection and uoiversal broi herhood have no common ground; every act that divides man from man, that alienates nation from nation is a step toward the darkness and the past; while everv ellort toward removing obstructions, burning flown barriers, uniting humanity in bonds of common interest and love, is a step toward the morning and the light ; a glorious promise of the time when swords fihull be U'li-'n into plowshares, ami all tho nations of the earth bhall dwell iu harmony and peace.

NEWS FROM STANLEY. A Privat Letter (iivinc Information About the African Explorer. New Yokk, March 6. A private letter from llontjalo, the Concjo, pives, under date of Nov. 6, litfvS, forne information ahout Henry M. Stanley, which has not yet appeared in any of the published accounts of his movement. "Manley," it say, "arrived at Urenia on Anqr. 17, with the carriers furnished by Em in l'asha. The next clay the four white men who had accompanied him also reaeheel that point. Stanley wrote a letter to Tippo Tib, telling him, in efi'ect, that he came from Albert Nyanza, where he joined Emin l'asha. He found everytbintr in good condition there, Kinin Tasha and Casati in rood health ami all their people well. They were well provided wiih Fuppl'es, including wines, etc., and more than a thousand head of cattle, asj well as sheep, goats ami chickens in abundance. His return voyage hie! been ejected in ciirhty-two days. His company was in cood health aud his losses were limited to three negroes, lie did not say how long the journey to the lake had taken. "He entreated Tippoo Tib to accompany him back to Ktr.in, F.tiyinjr that he would wait for Ii i 111 at I." renin for ten d:tys aiul would start on the eleventh clay, with the troods he left there ntiel M. Donnj", the last of the live Europeans Jeit with him (liarthelot having' been killed at I'renia; Jamisou having died at liinalo 01 Au?. I'M, aud Ward aud t-oote having returned to Kurope.) "To decide Tippoo Tib to accompany him he dwelt upon the great quantity of ivory he could bring back all that in Etniu Pasha's possession. I do not really think Emin l'asha would have given Tippoo his ivory, tor Tippoo had nothing with which to pay for it. It was probably au artifice 011 Stanley's part, who had one of two objects in view for which he had need of Tippoo's aid, and he thus trieI to perpuaele him. lippoo Tih must have understood this, for he dii not accompany Stanley, but like a practical man and one who wished to make Poniethin out of Stanley's journey, he caused the explorer tobe followed at a distance by one of his devoted lieutenants, Said-JJeti-Mohed, who will reconnoitre the route anil xuake raids for slaves in the new country. "Stanley has broken the contract made by Uarthelot for the -JMM carriers furnished by this Arabs, and has taken only 100 of them with him. For the rest, the men of Emin Pasha must suffice. On Sept. 1. Stanley starteel on his journey to rejoin Emin Pasha. What will ho do afterward? He has not' told his plans, except that he will not return by the wny of the Congo. Maj. Uarthelot would have come back along with Monto X'YAege. Will Stanley take that route? "Un Sept. 14, Stanley's courier, bound for Europe, arri veil at Talli, commended to the protection of the resident of the Congo state, but without any kind ot a message. Now thi courier (who bears only one letter addressed to M. Brown) has been detainel at Talli by an unfortunate illneM. The resident, who is expectint a steamer from day to day, has uot deemed it proper to allow this correspondence to be brought here by the boat which brought us M. Ilalit, jr., secretary of Tinpoo Tib, and just novf Stanley is here, and u cointr elowu to Kintaino. So Stanley's correspondence can not reach us until tiie arrival of the nest steamer."

An Immense Throng Greet tiie Party I'pon Their Arrival tn Jersey City. "Sew Yokk, March 6. Grover Cleveland today entered this city for the first time in four years as a private citizen, lie and his party came by way of the Iialtimore et Ohio railroad. The special train of three cars arrived at the new depot of the Jersey Central railroad at 0 o'clock p. m. The ex-president's modesty was responsible for the lateness of the arrival. It was desired to avoid the crowd at the depot. The train was brought along promptly as far as Bergen Point at 1:42 p. m., but according to the desire of the distinguished passenger the train was side-tracked at Uergen Point, six miles from the depot at this end of the line. The station-master at I!eren Point telegraphed the superintendent of the Jersey entral at the time that the train would be held there and arrive at Jeresy City at G o'clock. The eiiorr to avoid tiie crowd went all amis?, however. There were early on hand live carriages and two trucks from the Yictori.i hotel to convey the party and ba.'akre to that bostele ry. I n aeldition an ever inerea.-injr crowd was there scurrying across the tracks to meet each incoming train to catch, perhap?, a pliinpse of Mr. und Mrs. Cleveland. They did not gel cliscoumccd ither, but hivered in the bleak west wind. Then came the grand crush hen the train arrived. Mr. nml Mr1. Clev;lanii alik'hted from the rear platform 01 the tliinl ear. SLe wore a Icing ceat of red material, a very becomiii'.' h:i-an 1 carried ia her Wit hand a uiazniticcnt bouquet of ro.-es. Cheerin' and rushinsr, the crowd followed 'own ihe platform to the carriages. Jersey policemen in vain attempted to stay the people. Mrs. Cleveland smiled as if pleased by the warm reception.
