WESTERN REFORMERS. They Meet at Chicago and Talk Over.the Great Issue. , "ise Words Spoken by Prominent Advocates of Tariff Revision—The Past and _ Future of Revenue Reform—A Victory for Education. “Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.” It was to celebrate what they believed was such a victory that something over two hundred tariffreformers sat down to a banquet at the’ Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, on the evening of December 80. The laurels of victory were there in the guise of several tariff-reform Congressmen-elect chosen from districts hitherto Repubfican. ~ :
| Officially it was a dinner given by the Tllinois Tariff-Reform League to celebrate the victories recently achieved in the cause of tariff reform. The president of the league, Mr. Franklin MacVeagh, presided, and in his inimitable ‘way introduced the -speakers. The toast-list and speakers included these subjects: ‘““Tariff Reform and Free Irade,” Mr. William T. Baker; ‘‘The Past and Future of Tariff Reform,” General John C. Black; ‘“The Awakening of the Farmer,” ex-Governor J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska; ‘Reciprocity,” Hon. Owen Scott; ‘‘The Revision of the Tariff by Its Victims,” Edwin Burritt Smith; ‘“The New Political Era,” Edward G. Mason; ‘‘Subsidies and Bounties,” Colonel H. W. Snow; “The P’olitical Revolution, What Caused. It,” William G. Ewing. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested throughout the speeches. When Mr. Baker, the first speaker, arose he was.unable to procedd for some moments. Pleasantly aceepting the applause, as intended for his subject rather than himself, he proceeded: . - © ‘“Thirty years ago there was mingled with the holiday festivities of the American people, as there is to-day. the.celebration of a great victory for human freedom.”‘ Those of us whose - memories run back to that heroic period can recall enough that was like the things of today to remind us that history repeats itself, The victors in the memorable contest of 1860 disciaimied any intention'of giving freedom to the slaves, and vehemently protested dgainst being called abolitionists. To many weak souls there was a terror in that appel’ation, as there is to-day among a multitude of honest reformers when they are called-“free-traders.’: “What is free trade? It may interest some of the disciples of the new political subterfuge to learn that Worcester defines it as ‘commerc¢ial reciprocity.’ But in a broad way I think it fair to say it consists of unrestricted ‘exchange of comirodities. Commerce is and always has been nothing but barter. All the actsof all the Cengresses that ever met have been unable to make it uny thing else. The exchange of the product of man’s toil for that which satisf@es his desires has been the course of nature since the world began, and so we claim it as an inalienable right. g *We are unworthy of our liberties if we do not stand out for the moral principle involved and fight the doctrine of protection, because it - is esserftially wicked no matter who may reap material benecfits from it. Free trade is the high idesl which the rising generation will see realized. It is something worth tighting for because it appeals to the sympathy as well as to the intelligence of men and it will yet be a shibboleth to win victories. : : “But what is revenue reform? The expressions of gome frightened editors and statesmen since eléstion would lead one to think it consists in the prompt repeal of the McKinley law. But why the McKinley law? If the last thirteen per cent. is outrageous robbery, as confessed by these disappointed ones, how will you characterize the previous forty-seven per cent.? I*is not the atrocity of the McKinley law that disturbs these gentlemen, hut the fact that the people have found them out. “Revegue reform does not consist in a return of the last of the tribute extorted from an unwilling people, but «in the definite change of directior in our fiscal policy. There is no middle grournd of peace between a tariff of prohibition and 2 tariff for revenue only. _ “Forthirty years we have been traveling under Republican control toward prohibition, but jour course is now changed. The American people have never quailed at any burden that - was necessary for the preservation of our institutions, but a public tax for private gain must cease. ‘Millions for publiec good but not one cent for private greed’ may be our watchword, Tariff reform is the issue of the day. Under our banners are enlisted the patriotism and intelligence of the American people. The 4th of Nevember was our Gettysburg. We are marching on to Five Forks and the end of the confiict. And when this campaign of education shall have done its perfect work there will be a crown of laurel for our glorious leader, the living embodiment of reform, the typical Amer- " ican, Grover Cleveland.” . . GENERAL BLACK’S SPEECH.
On the subject, ‘“The Past and Future of Tariff Reform,” General John C. Black said that never in the history of the country, wheen the issue between high tariff and low tariff was presented to the people free from war or other questions, had they failed to declare in favor of a low tariff. Briefly summing up the history of the question in the early days of the Republic he said: “In 1876, for the first time after the close of the war, the attention of the people to this question was challenged. By a decisive popular vote the people declared, as they had always, for tariff reform. Disdaining this and succeeding imperial mandates of the people, the Republican party in 1860 passed the logical conclusion of a pretended protective tariffi—the McKinley law. Had I been a Republican, taught in the doctrines of that party to believe in the rights of the Government to mecdle in the minutedt affairs of the people, I could not fail to accept the McKinley law. But the voice of three-fourths of the States has declared against this act, and the theory of Government that produced it. They have declared for a tariff for revenue only.” ‘ ““GOVERNMENT OF CASH, BY CASH, FOR o £ CASH." Ex-Governor Morton was introduced as a man who' for twenty years had been fighting the battle of tariff reform. . He kept the company in a roar with his apt stories and witty arguments. He said: ; “Up to very lately I believed Rip Van Winkle's sleep was considered the longest nap on record. Youremember the story as told by Irving, how he quaffed from the flagons of old zendrick Hudson’s men till he fell asleep and ept for twentyl years. When he awoke the first thing he did was to look for his gun. The first flagons of protection were drunk by the farmers more than twenty years ago. When the farmer began his doze he thought this + country was a government of the people, for the people and by the people. When he awoke . he found things had changed; he found a gov- ) ernment of cash, for cash, by cash. . ““The first ten Presidents were farmers. No one then would dare to suggest that taxation should be used for any other purposé than to raise a revenue. _ “But there has been an awakening. An awakening sometimes comes naturally, as the , rising sun wakes the farmer. The light that has awakened the farmer has been economic " light. . » ' _ “The farmer is pretty well awake on this subject now. Sometimes we are awakened by our enemies, Perhaps.we all are sorry for the results of the last Presidential election, and yet it resulted in the McKinley law. And to MeKinley the cause of tariff reform owes more ‘than to any one else. Perhaps he does not care for such praise. ; L, . “The McKinley law was entitled an act to reduce revenue. That sounds well. When a farmer read that he tbought it was whaf he _ wanted. But he read a little further and fdund ~ the revenue-was to be reduced by increasing " %ufim Perhaps that title was put on the - bill on the principle enunciated by the simple- ~ minded farmer’s youth.

But when there is a drought and we don't raise any we have to import potatdes and pay the big price this tax imposes. | When we raise & big .crop nobody brings any in, - ‘‘But the farmers generally understand now that good commerce, fair exchange, is profitable to both parties, and that bad commerce stops itself. John Bull is no slouch at a trade; Brother Jonathan is clever enough when it comes to swavplng. They won't exchange unless it is a good thing for ‘both. The farmers are all right. They understand that putting a tax on things doesn’t make them cheaper.” APPLAUSE FOR CLEVELAND’S NAME. Hon. Owen Scott called Blaine’s reciprocity scheme ‘‘a gimlet hole bored through the McKinley law.” His reference to Grover Cleveland as the leader of the hosts of tariff reform brought forth a storm of applapse. . THE TARIFF AND ITS VICTIMS. Mr. Edwin Burritt Smith, in responding to the toast: ““The Revision of the Tariff by Its Victims,” said: © “‘The tarift has been so long with us and so affects every transaction of our lives that to many. it has become a blessing personified, being capable of friendships and enmities. They regard loyalty to what is absurdly called protection, as others regard | loyalty to country. They have not yet denied the right to modify the tariff to meet changed conditions, but they ingist that all revision must be by its friends. In fact, since:the Republican party accomplished its public programme with reconstruction it has been mainly occupied in distributing spoi!s and revising the tariff.
“The war rendered the heaviest possible taxatio n necessary. The internal-revenue collections for a single year exceeded §300,000,000. {This vast burden, in one way or another, rested fon property. With the close of the war came a necessity for tax reduction. It would seem that the two g%&_t systems of taxation which had growh up together, one because of the other and both because of the war, should have been reduced together. But such has not been the “history. As the English Barons converted to their own private use the public lands placed in their hands to enable them to perform mil itary services after the services were no longe: required, so our American tariff barons have continued to levy private taxes on their con sumers years after the repeal of the.internal revenuye texes which led to the tariff act of 1864.
“A favorite mode of revising the tariff by its friends consists in throwing w taritf bill into the secrecy of a conference committee in the clos ing hours of the session. Then, by changes it classification, a skillful use of ad valorem and specific duties in combination and othier shrewd devices, it is made very dittcult, if not quite impossible, for even an exprit to tell the exfent of protection allowed. :% one had the hardihood to prote-t he is calléd a ‘theorist’ or a ‘student of maxims rather tran of markets.’
“Suchgm‘.vision has for its en¢ the removal of all National taxes upon propetty, in favor of the heaviest possible, public and private taxation imposed upon consumption. Revision of the tariff by its friends means the escape of all accumulated property and the entire income of the rich above actual expenditures and the heaviest possible taxation on the' entire income of the poor man who is obliged to spend all he gets. The victims of the tariff can adopt no surer course than the opposite of that which bas been pursued by its: friends. Revenue duties and taxes must be reimposed and those which are protective greatly reduced. ‘*The day aud hour are near at hand when the victims of the tariff, under the splendid leadership of the man who has given a great cause to his purty and a great party to a splendid cause, will undertake a revision of the tariff which will indeed be a reform.”
Mr. Edward G. Mason spoke of ‘“The New Political Era” as the time when men would vote their convictions uninfluenced by party considerations. “Subsidies and Bounties” Colonel H. W. Snow thought were the idiotic attempts of a defeated cause to restore to the sea the American commerce which restrictive laws had driven from it. : THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. Mr. W. G. Ewing responded to the toast: ‘‘The Political Revolution; What Was Its Cause?” , He said: *“The great popular condémnation of. the methods and principles of the party in power is the clear, reasonable and only logical result of the campaign of education that for so many weary years, in season and out of season, the self-sacrificing missionaries of tariff reform have prosecuted in every school district and voting precinet within the limits of the Federal Union.- This campaign of education liited the American people up to a higner plane of independent political and moeral thought than the shackles and trammels of party have ever before permitied them to occupy. -It has taught the people that submission to party dictation isglavery pure and simple, slavery abject and servile. It has taught them that there can not be any thing politically right which is morally wrong. It has taught them that country is more sacred than party and that humanity is broader than nationality. It has taught them that there ean not be liberty withoutlaw or law without justice. : ‘‘The campaign of education has taught the American people that subsidies, bounties, protective tar.ffs and reciprocity belong to the same class of crimes and are coparceners in the same corruption; it has taught them that a law which taxes the toiling masses hundreds of millions of dollars annually to aid private enterprises, by discouraging or prohibiting im ports, is in itself wrong, and becomes.unspealxably infamous when its legitimate result is made the pretext for further enormous burden of taxation by way of subsidies to the owners of ships, under the miserable pretense of encouraging the very commerce that the first robbery drove from our ports.i From the campaign of education the people have learned that a bounty is ot only a cowardly alias for a protective tariff, but is so diabolical in its oozing corruption as to give the thing it stands for its only semblance of honesty; for of the protective tariff it may be said that the poor man who pays the extorted tax gets something, although ever so little, for his money. But not so with the hounty; every stricken home in the land, every suflering, toiling child of want is taxed to pay the bounty, and the children of wealth eat the sugar and wear thelsilk. 7
“The campaign of education has taught the American people that the great need of the hour at the helm of State isnot a leader who, like the man 1n the moon, shines in a borrowed light, but a genius like Lincoln. whose inherent majesty of character raised his ancestors from obscurity; not a plumed knight, but a sober, thoughtful, prudent man; not a man of audacity, but a man of integrity, of tenacity of purpose, of majesty of character—in short, the man who inaugurated the campaign of education made political revolution possible, and is the guiding star of a purer and better Government of the people and for the whole people— Grover Cleveland.” : - The strange phenomenon of one spot having served as the burial place for people of three races in three distinct ages of the world’s history is met with on a bluff of the lowa river, some forty miles from its mouth. This thrice sacred bluff is known as “Graveyard Point.” 1t is situated in the northeastern corner of Washington County, la., and is the southern terminus of a line of bluffs extending for several miles along the west bank of the lowa, the summits of which are covered with thousands of curious forms of earthworks, mounds, ete., relics of a race of which the Indians have mno distinct knowledge. After serving.for ages asa cemetery for the mound-builders, the Indians took possession of ‘“‘Graveyard Point,” also using it as a burial place. Back in the forties, when white men drove the Indians out, they, too, began burying their dead on the bluff, the same land thus serving as ‘“God’s Acre” for three different and distinet races in three stages of the world’s development. —St. Louis Republie. =~ “Sundown Doctors.” o This is the appellation said to be applied in the city of Washington to a class of practitioners who are clerks in the Government offices, and who have taken a medical degree with a view to practicing after the hours of their offieial work are over.—Scientific Ameri-

Chron. 11:13-14.) 382 ‘Feast in the eighth month:’” November, instead of feast of Tabernacles, their thanksgiving day, in the seventh month as ordained by God. Their harvest was later than the harvest of Judah. - LESSON COMI}IENTS. Jeroboam was afraid lest his people, if they went to Jernsalem to worship, would revolt against him. So to avoid this result he committed a greatsin. If Jeroboam had only had more faith in God he would never have adopted so wicked a course. For God had promised him if he evercame to His throne that *‘lf thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David, my servant did, then will I be with thee and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee” (1 Kings 11:38). A But the wicked King thought he knew better than God, and so he forsook God’s law and established idolatry. ‘
Did Jeroboam’s evil device for establishing his kingdom really help him? No; for “though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished” (Prov. 11:21). In the very next chapter but one we are told how the anger of God burned against this wicked King. God said: - ¢‘l will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam” because of his iniquity. That sin, 'which Jeroboam thought would help him, in reality was the stumbling block over which he fell into foin, . | =
Jeroboan’s sin. comsisted in “doing evil, that good might come therefrom,” and just here lies the sin of a great many people in modern days. There are many people, for example, who deal dishonestly in their business, and then, as an excuse, they say: ‘““We must live.” That they must earn a living is true, but it is not true that ({n order to 'do this ‘they must |be dishonest. For the same bad reason many break = the Sabbath day, and keep their stores opem, pleading the excuse that, unless they do this; ¢ompetition will ruin them. This same excuse leads others into telling lies. Then there are many more who have not even as good an excuse as this to offer. .They sin openly, merely so that they may ‘“get on? faster in this life. So Satan deludes them as he deluded Jeroboam. In the very face of God’s solemn warnings, Satan promises them success in their sinful uwhdertakings. ?
Are such evil courses ever successful? Yes; for a time many of them seem to be very prosperous. Many, indeed, fail very soon, for he must have a long memory, who is to be a successful liar; and many a thief or dishonest man ends his days in jail. But some seem to succeed. This thought made the Psalmist very sad once. He said: ‘I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Behold these are the ungodly who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.” He could not at first understand this, and was tempted to think that it did not pay as well to be honest as to be dishonest. So Satan leads many a young man to think to-day. But the Psalmist saw it all in its true light, when he went to God’s hLouse. Then ‘‘he understood their end.” Thus he was led to exclaim in awe and wonder: ‘‘How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors” (Ps. 73). God does not square all his :accounts with sinners on this side of the grave. But his warnings will none the less®prove true; and the punishments He' has threatened upon evil-doers will be fulfilled in eternity, as surely as Jeroboam was punished, or as Rehoboam had the kingdom torn from him. ‘“The mills of God grind slowly, but grind exceeding small,” and “though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.”— Rev. A. F. Schauffler, D. D.

- THE ORIGIN OF PHRASES. “THERE is no love lost between them?” occurs in the old ballad of ““The Babes in the Wood” and in a tale of the days of Shakespeare entitled “Montchesney.” “BETTER late than never” was used over three hundred years ago by Thomas Tucker in his ‘‘Five Hundred Points ov Good Husbandry.” Later on Bunyan used it in his “Pilgrim’s Progress.” “TrepiNG the wink,” generally regarded as a vulgar phrase, is to be found in a grave historical romance.
