A tariff for protection aaA a tariff for revenue must not he confounded; until some better way in provided democrat do not object to Mwh reasonable imposition of dutiea upon imports as are aecefsary to meet the expenses of the government judiciously administered. A tariff for revenue is a ax, hut It is a fair tax, paid by every riliteu aceordlnj to the heaents received by him, for the support of the government whose flag protects him In every land and en every sea; while a tariff for protection is an unequal aad unjust tx, m a burden laid upon the weak for the beXtnt of the strong: upon the poor for the benent of the rich; upon the unfortunate for the bene tit ot the favored: upon labor for the bene tit ot wealth; a protective tariff is a stigma upon American manhood, a reproach to our civilisation; it is the devil's reward to the sir k sight of public plunder. In its heroic contention for just laws, the democratic party welcomes to ite fold the tee of thousands of honest, determined youmr won who people the college and universities of America; with the force of such anghty energy and dauntless courage, east in the cause of honest, pure and stable government, the democratic party will take up lu majestic march to victory For every advance in lw civilization, for every movement that has elevated human ambition, the world is Indebted to the efforts of youug men. Young men laid the foundations of American character and American maahood: young mea asserted the independence of the American colonics and maintained that independence in every struggle from Lexington to Yorktown: young men framed our constitution and hive preserved our liberties, and in the long lrugle from 11 to IS, by the Hubliraest heroism ever known, young men demonstrated our nationali

ty and the oneness of the American union; and M we recall to ntmory tfc achievements of Thimii Jt3eron it Is well tMomembor thst what be did to make this nation free aud himself Immortal, was accomplished in his youth. He was called to the bar at ibeVge of twentythree, was a memlwr ot the boue ot burges1: at the age of twenty-six. was a member of the continental coBgres.t at the age ot thirty-two, and at the of thirty-three reached fame's diatzy height M the author of the declaration of Amertcv.n iEdcivnder.Cfj. Awl thus the young democracy of this younx; democratic t-tate in celebrating the anniversary of the Wrth of Thomas Jefferson Imt Invokes for Jts inspiration the spirit of the young democracy of the time that tricl men' Souls. We can f&na a correct nrprecl.ttloa of the character f Mr Jt ffcnon and mn'w a proper application of hi political tloctriuo only by learning th-j prompting motive 0 his whole political life, Uo was a man of the people: he believed in tho peop'.o; he associated with the people: ho ,jmpathiacd with the pcopi.j: ho loved the people; he tielicvcd in tho equality of alt men. and lu eoual and exact justice to all men; he believed in the dignity and majesty of labor; he appreciated the f.ict that all the wealth of tha universe is but the product of labor; that it labor should be respected, rewarded, educated, tbi country would become rich and prosperous ami remain free; and hence the significance of his political trueism: "Economy in the pyblic expenses that labor may be lightly burdened." There is no proposition that strikes the universal sense of mankind more forcibly thsn this, and its practical application is found in t'te position of the democratic party to-day, upetr the question of tariff reform. There is and should Vr bo conflict between capital and labor. Capital '1 the ehlld. the firstborn of labor, and labor is ilr chief beneli clary of capital; the vital interest et each depend upon the success of the other; capital opens an avenue to la tor aad labor augments capital; each to adapted to the other: each is assisted by the other: each is the natural protector of the other, aad he who would antagonise these friendly and reciprocal elements in the economy of government and the economy of existence is a foe to the interests ot humanity. The democratic party is a friend to labor: It believes in dignifying labor; magnifying labor; protecting labor; but you cannot ennoble labor by destroying Its independence: you cannot protect labor by taxing It: whatever adds to the cost of living adds to hours of toil. The shameless hypocrisy of the protectionist, who "with one hand puts a penny in the urn of poverty, while with the other he steals a shilling out." is appreciated to-day. as never before, by the man who toils. lie now sees, thanks to the campaign of edueatioe,that 73 percent tariff tax. added to the cost of the clothing ats children wear, is not compensated by placing acorns on the free list: that S per cent, burden on the tools , of bis trade Is not lightened by the reflection that "dried blood" aad "green-beaded flies" are remorselessly left to the competition of the world. Labor is not a mendicant or a beggar; labor does not aak for "the crumbs that fall from the rich man's table:" 60m net aak for alms or bounties; ittemndjuatlee; The only protection that labor asks is to be unfettered: to have the protect km that the Almighty gave it-un-taxed food to eat, untaxed clothing to wear, untaxed tools to work with awl untaxed material to work upon. Unbind the winds ot the ocean; unlock the ports of the world, and with its re stored freedom ami manhood labor will lose its rags, throttle the power of monopoly ami dwell in palaces. If the democratic partr. with the sublime courage of conviction, will adhere f esrleeely ami faithfully to the great, overshadowing jieiltlcal demand of the hour tariff reform '.nd will have the wtodom to choose as its )taor that marvelous nnn who has demonstrated his preference for right ami defeat rather than wrong and saceees, we will go forth to jstUe thrice armed, and move with restotless might to a great victory under the great Cleveland. Mr. chairman, 1 cannot terminate my associa tion with this auspicious occasion without, in pride ami gratitude, reminding theyounc men of this university thm gnat American Intel lectual workshop who are going fort to impress their own characters spon the Institutions of the country ami the worw, mat in joining tne great army of the disciples of Jefferson they espouse a cause whose traditions are worthy ot their emulation, and that by maxiag "party honesty party policy" by remembering that what is morally wrong cannot oe politically right-by asserting their hi A manhood in every political actkm they tw tome participants in the glory of breaking the saacKies or iraite ana broadening the triendeAlp et nations into the brotherhood of man. Mr. Jefferson was vol a mere dreamer not a mere oUtleel theorist &e was tne worms great practical politician he reduced polities to a moral science and organuea a party wnose Kptendld achievements have no parallel in any political organise ttea in all the range of all the years a party vikmw tnnmpM are maaosee on the mile-posts or tne repuwie as mesumante contributions to human rights and human hopes.

I but repeat the tncontestlbie history of the country in the declaration that every rigM and dignity tweured to the government of the United States, by force of arms, from the revtAutioa to the rebellion: every foot of toil added to our territory from the surrender" of CornwaHls to the purchase of the God-forsaken peaks of Alaska, were effected with democratis aJmlr intration. And while I would not for my right hand withhold the gratitude of ray heart from any man who battled for the eternal oneness of my country; still I want ray party to hare Its place on the muster-roll ot that splendid, patriotic endeavor. The record ot the country shows that in the dark hours c-f 191. when war's hot breath, like a blast from bell, startled the whole nation the loader par excellence of the U moera tic party the imwortal Douglass-was the tlrst, the very first, o sound the alarm and vara hs cc'tntryqes, from ocean to odaa, "th.tt the dlrcc;v..t wad to peace lies in uw mcst stupendous preparations for war." The record of the. country bhows that hundred of thousands of ftcatomts under the inspiration of that patriotism, which I believe is inberent In the mases of all parties, sprang to the defense of their imperiled country, and in the morafcs and on the mountain, by land and by sea, in burning sua and drenching stars, with thoir lives in their hands, through all the rain of bot and shell, kept steady pace with the iuuic of the union. The record shows that a majority of the commanding general who woo distinction in the war ot the rebellion, net the "jnuraed knights," but the heroes whose genius conceived the plans of battle; whose valor led the intrrM hosts through lurid flames of death; who scaled the ramparts ef the enemy, drove lurking treason from its last hiding place, Boated the nw; ot the nation from the dome of the confederate capital and sent the fame of the intrepid, fearless, iwerksw "boys In blue" ringing round the world, were democrats. Grand old party ot my fathers! Dora amid the throes and agonies of revolution, its infancy was rocked ia the cradle of American freedom: for more than sixty years it administered -the affairs and developed the resources of tho eouatry of his love: it genius measured the possibilities of freedom and its wisdom lifted the nation from one degree of excellence to another, from one plane of glory to another, until the object of its care and devotion stood forth the most splendid fabric of government in atl the shining circuit of the sun: at all times and under all circumstances. In prosperity and in adversity, amid dangers from without and commotion within, in peace and ia war, the democratic party has stood for liberty, Justice and law.

It Consist M at Stadjr mf Vartous Cltarae Can the phrenologist discern tlie character and powers of aa individual front an examination oi hia lieml, and point out to htaa the eowse of life best suited to his taates and opacities? Can he, without danger of error, aay to one young man: "Stwdy law; yom will win cases for yowr clienta and honor for yourself;" to another: 4ecoe a physician; nature iattendecl yon to save lives;" and to a third: 'Tow were bora to command arnile and wia viator ies for your country?" If you" put tha frueftthttt the phrenologists thetaaelvw they will unhesitatingly' reply yea. It fact tliey must so reply, or ehe- admit that their science is but an- abstraction from which no practical resulfcaare to fern expiated. Hut if I were 4a- answer the question I should say that it depends entirely on the acutenesas4 judgment of the person who makes-the examination. We have seen how many elements of un certainty enter into the- attempt to measure human cupaewy utrougu the study of the brain. ltatt fortunately mental and moral characteristics manifest themselves very early ia the human countenance. The separation between phrenology, or the study f the brain, and physiognomy, or the study of the countenance, is a vamsli'msr line. Tlie phrenologist will tell voir that the exercbc of the faculties whoe seat he ftnda ' in tlie brain impresses- tlteir characteristics externally upoazthelmdiridual. Accordingly every phrenologist -whim he feels the configuration of the; keasl takes note of the expression of the-face and of the organic-quality of tho body. All of these observations are combined in the judgment that he forma ot the capacities and temiencieaof the individual under examination, and if hi eye ia keen, his power of observation! highly developed, his. judgment .unerring, ha will surprise his 'subject" by the insight which be shows into h innermost thought and impulse, and will be able to give him advice as t the direction and conduct at his life that may prove invaluable. But if be not a capital judge of human nmtnre, if lie in merely a feeler ot "btimpa," and doea not know hw to unite into a happy end consistent waale the knowledge of of character that every aspect of the head, the face, aad the bedy is capable of conveying, lie will sadly astray and Iim advise may he uless or even injurious.

Jlut tk chaaeea all are now that the intereat i tlie silver question will steadily wsae. ami that when the two parties hhall have spoken in Uteir respective conventions neither of them will be so wholly right or so wholly wrong in regard to this question as to give it intteli itirlwence in the canvass! Some it will httve, and there will be a certain number of voters who will feel, ami not unjustly, that on the whole the republican party is likely to bo safer than the democratic HER party ia its action on the currency. Hat the isaeie will not be very dennite and will not be at all dominant. It is well for the country that tha tariff will be again brought forward and thatitwill be the controlling htsue. It is now nearly a half eentttry sin, with the exception of tlie elections of jm and ltm, the commercial policy of ! 1 t.l 1. ... luiaaa me uaiiuu can w mhi w hj - passed upon fairly by a popular vote. Mclunleyihtn is bat the ripened proditet of the protective system growing out of the war. But that system a a protective one dates from the repeal of the internal revenue taxes between 19 Mid 1S7S. It was not originally protective in any extreme sense, and the excess of duties on imports over the eoatpenaating internal revenue taxes-would now be regarded as free trade, aad pretty rank free trade at that. The Mills bill was very far from a re tarsi to the Morrill bill leas internal taxation. Shortly after the war,, aa soem as the real effect of the repeal of the internal taxes began to be obvious, the movement for tariff reform began,, aad it has been advancing steadily ever siaae. Hut until lSSS the people never had aa opportunity to vote directly on it It was always presented to them' complicated with and olscured by Mime other question of great popular interest. At most the vote for tariff reform, was ten tative and but partially effectual. Sometimes the interference was from the southern question, sometimes it was the currency question, and oruonc occasion at least 1878 -it was both. Mr. Tilden was the' first democratic candidate who succeeded in largely reducing the importance and influence of t&e southern question. No one reaBy doubted his loyalty or feared that aay of the "fruits of the war" would be lost under hint, or thatthe national dig nity or stability would be compromitted by him or with his assent Hut there was a deep-seated suspicion aa to the f nancial soundness of the party ami his capacity to control his party on questions involving the currency. He stood on a platform that demanded tlie repeal of the resumption act of 1875. It is, per haps, not too much to say that without this source of weakness Mr. Tilden might hare been indisputably e lee ted. However that may be, it is dear that in 1876 the tariff wan net a controlling issue. It was more nearly no ia lmt, but even then it wan the southern quee tlon, artfully revived, that eeekled the vote of the northwest and kept that sec tion from the rath it would otherwise have taken. In 1984 the tariff wan ob scured by the personal element brought into the canvass by the nonainatkm ef Mr. Illaine. In 189 the issue was more plain, and the popular vote waa In favor of reform, but its fruit waalost through Die treacliury of Mill. Ia 1W0 there was no doubt as to the inane or the re suit. Tim harvest was at ltst ripe, aad it waa gathered so far as R eould bo. It only remains to complete the tank this yer and to start the eouatry fairly oa a career of nteftally-growiflg prosperity, in omparktott with whtehevea the wonderful past wUl seam tame. H Y.

The non-protlttclng olaseKthHt ia, thoee not engaged in active industry, but living upon speculative Investments comprised the remaining thirtyseven per cent. Now, after some twenty-eight years ot republican legislation, the statistloa show that tha producing classes own but about twenty per cent of the ttaPET. Tuck. tional wealth. The rest has lieen mortgaged, assigned, sold or tranaferrcd in one way or another to the aoa-produeing class, who control at present nearly eighty 'peroent. of the national wealth. It ia now nowhere disputed that thirty thousand men own more than one-half tlie national wealth, while the rest of tlie people, over mxtyfotir milllou, own the. otlier half. It is facts like these which form the basis of the protests which we liear eonsiag from Christian pulpite constantly. To such faots the vast orgaaizatioa of labor ia chiefly due. How far legislation is responsible for thU unfortunate drift tlie nutasofthe people mean to know lietween now and next November. That a system of sweeping taxation, whieh has thrived for nearly thirty years, is largely responsible, a great majority of the people have already expressed their eoevictkm at the polls. And what financial legislation hue had to do with it the people are going, to ask, too.
