TARIFF AND WAGES. Speaker Carlisle Discusses the Topic of the Day. ~ j Why Tariff Kcforin Would In So Way Injure American Industries — The Dangers of a Treasury Surplus and Excessive Taxation. Speaker Carlisle was for the seventh time renominated for Congress at Covington, Ky., the other day. After thanking his constituents for the honor con terred on him, he spoke thus about the effect of the tariff on wages, the Treasury surplus and kindred matters: Mit. Cmikmax and Gextlemen or tiie Convention: 1. scarcely know in what terms to thank the Democracy of this district for its action to-day. Twelve years ago I was nominated for Congress in this hail, and since then the Democracy of this district huve chosen me six times in succession to represent them in the House of Depresent stives of the United States. No man eould he insensible of such devotion on the part of his friends, and 1 assure yen, geutlemen, that 1 feel most profound-1 ly my sense cf gratitude and obligation to j;« end the people whom you represeut.

JVUCVI& I 1 accept your Domination and shall endeavor to meet as many of you as possible between this and the election, although my duties at Washington prevent mo from giving much attentiou to my own district. 1 not only accept your nomination, gentlemen, but 1 indorse to the fu'lest extent the resolutions you have just adopted, except that part of them that relates to mo personally. [Applause.] The great question before this country is tfce question of Federal taxation. It makes but little difference whether I am elected; to Congress or not. but it is of overwhelming importance.to the people that the next House of Representatives should be Democratic [applause], and that the next President should le a Democrat also. [Cheers.], The two political. parties have nominated their candidates and made formal declaration of their principles, and you will be called upon next November to decide between them. The Republican party has rhosen as its standard- bearer Mr. Harrison, a respectable lawyer of Indianapolis, for President, and for Vice-President, I.evi P. Morton, a <very rieh banker hi Wail street. The Democratic party has selected the true and tried, tho incorruptible President who now litis the chair, the matt who has brought the Administration bnek to the ways of the constitution, and given to this people a clean, conservative and faithful administration of the taw [Cheers-1 With him they have associated Mr. Thurman [cheers], who for many long years has been the best and truest repre tentative of our Western Democracy. But it is not, gentlemen, my purpose to make a speech. Many of you want to return to your homes on the afternoon train, and many of you are anxious foryuur dinner 1 want to call yoftr attention, though, to theoverwholming importance of the great quostion which is now presented for tht* decision of the people; and I congratulate you on the fact that at last, after many long years of struggle, we have got this question fairly and squarely before the people [Cheers. 1 It is declared in the j Democratic platform that Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation; ami by that | declaration the Democratic party will | stand or fall in this contest. W hen President Cievelandwas inaugurated,on the 4th of March, IftS, he found on the statute books laws passed by Republican Congresses under which, there was being annually collected from the people nearly *1(10,000.000 in excess of the actual necessities of the Government. He found a large surplus accumulated iu the vaults of the treasury, and thait all tho public debt in control of the Government. except about *188,000,000 of It-per cent, bonds, had been paid. What was to be done! . Year after year some of tis have strugglrd in the House of Representative* j to secure a reduction of this enormous burden on the people, and have predicted that the time would surely tome when this money would accumulate in the public; Treasury to such an extent as ,to paralyse all the business enterprises of the country and bring ruin and disaster upon our in-, dustriei and ail engaged in them. We at*- not responsible for the existence of these'laws,, but we felt, as the' representatives, of the American people, the( responsibility rested upon us, in some measure sit least, to ,see if it could not be remedied. We failed. The money went' on accumulating in the Treasury at the rate of ttdJOOOiOOO per month, and is stdl accumulating at that rate. The Secretary of the Treasury told me just before I left the City of Washington that the surplus.revenue collected daring the first fifteen days of the present mohth. over and above the expenses of the Government, was ill.dOd00U. At the rate of several hundred thousand dollars every day and night tho money of tho people, money which they need in tbeir business, is being poured into, the public Treasury where it is not needed.. [Cheers. I • • • To relieve the Treasury of this enormous amount and to prevent disaster to tho business of the country the Administration is compelled to purchase, tho outstanding bonds of the Government at an enormous premium. Within the last few months 01.000,000 of these bonds have been bought pi a premium on the 4 per cents of some 33c. to 980. on the dollar, and on the 4i-y attic.,To. and 6n, so that the bondholder is, by rear son of the unfortunate situation in which the revenue laws have been left, taking from the people millions and millions of dollars in excess of the amount which his obligation calls for, and onr friend, Mr. Harrison, in his recent letter of acceptance, says that this process should go or, rad the money should continue to be paid to the bondholder. Mr. Shermnn, the former Secretary of the Treasury, takes sul>atantally the same grounds, and criticises in a harsh manner the action of the present Administration in depositing a part of this money in the National banks so that it can be loaned to the people and go thus into tho channels of trade. Tho records of the department will sustain the statement that while Mr. Sherman was Secretary of the Treasury he had at oae time in a single National bank more money than this Administration has to-day in all the National banks of tho United States., {Cheers. I

Now, the great question voti are to decide is whether this system of taxation shall be continued indefinitely, or whether the country will return to the methods of taxation which prevailed in this country before the war. For the first time in the history of this country, so far as 1 know, the Republican party has substantially do dared in its platform in favor of reducing the revenue by increasing the taxes. [Applause and laughter.] It declares that It deems it necessary to reduce the revenue by checking the imports of such articles as can be made here, and if that is not sufficient it Will repeal the whole internal revenue tax on whisky rather than surrender any part of the protective system. This proposition Is put forth upon the idea that the people of this country can be benefited individually and collectively by imposing taxes on themselves. It. might aa well bo saiu that a man can make h msc f rich by lucking his pocket as to say he can increase his wealth by imposing a tax on himself. [Applause.] In addition to the facts that this system Of taxation is impos ng enormous and mineceeaary burdens upon the people, that i t has accumulated in the Treasury large sums of fDonDy which ought to be in the hands of those who earn it by their labor and skill, it is the parent of trust and combination and conspiracy to control products and prices of the necessary articles which the people are compelled to use When 1 ace Mr. Blaine, who seems to he the mouth9? the Republican party has

luasi indorsement, at least, to these mo sopolies, I believe that when a man attends his own funeral he ought to be allowed to (to at the head of the procession. [Laughter and applause.) But it seems Mr. Harrison is not. to enjoy this privilege. [Applause. I Mr. Blaine is the great central figure in this campaign, and ho tells the people, in the face of the platform of his party, in the face of the declarations of his political friends on the stump and neighbors, that these trusts are prirate affairs in which neither the President nor anybody else lias any particular right to interfere. [Applause and laughter.) Why, my friends, larceny is a private affair—a very private affair— [laughter]; and yet H is not supposed improper to interfere with it by law. The highwayman who meets you on the public road and demands your money or your life is engaged in the transaction of a private enterprise, but still the law takes rogniznnee of his act and punishes it as a crime. [Applause. [ Sow, gentlemen, Mr. Blaine has not beou occupying a very good position from which to view the interests of the American working-men. farmer or cousumer. The top Of Mr. Carnegie’s roach, as it bowled along with its liveried outriders over the hills of Scotland, is not a good place from which to look at the interests of America. [Applause.) Nor are the festal halls of CEuny Castle a very good point, either. !Applause.!

Mr. Blaine had better stay at home or stay abroad—one or the other. [Cheers.} Had he ccme hero to his own country and mingled with the farmers, with the consumers, with the laboring-men of the land, he would hare a far better opportunity to know what they desired than he could possibly have dining and wining with the aristocracy of Europe. It is said, gentlemen, that even if it does impose enormous burdens on the consumers of the country the wages of our laborers must be maintained, therefore high rates of taxation must be continued. If I had the time I think I could show to the satisfaction of every intelligent and candid man within the sound of my voice that the wages of labor are no more affected by the rates of duties upon imported goods than the yield of com to the acre mi your farm is affected by it. [Applause] And one of the chief benefits of the system, in tho estimation of Mr. Harrison, is the fact tnat the people do not know how much they are paying. When a man’s money is taken away from him without his knowledge, some maliciou s people call it stealing. [Applause.] I will not, however, apply that term to the processes by which the Government of the. United Slates abstracts this enormous sum of money from the pockets of the people who earn it aud puts it in the public Treasury or the pockets of some cue e's.v, hut I will say that it is the most dangerous form of taxation that could bo devised [cheers), because it makes the people less vigilant of the expenditure^ of tho public money and lulls them to sleep While their substance is taken away. [Applause ] Under an indirect tax luw you would not submit to It a single day, and the man who went to Congress from any single Congressional district of the United States, Democrat or Republican, who failed to east his vote in fuvor of the reformation of such a system of taxation no ltd never see the halls of the House agaiu. [ Cheers. | l have said, gentlemen, that the system of taxation is continued on the ground that it increases the rates of wages of the American laborer. There are two or three facts which show conclusively that this argumeut is not sound. In the"first place, it is a conceded fact that the re is as much difference between the rates of wages jiaid' in this country to laborers ougaged in the same occupation in different parts of the country as there is between the difference of the average rate of wages paid here and in European countries, and yet the sumo tariff law prevails throughout tho whole Unitod States, [ Applause. 1 You will hnd Dy an examination ol tho labor statistics thut from fifty to sixty, and in some cases even as high as one hundred per cent, more is paid for labor in the same occupation in Chicago than is paid in New York or Philadelphia. If the tariff regulated wages I subunit that the rate of wages would be the same, would be uniform in the same occupations throughout the United States under the same tariff. [Applause ] Another fact is that the greatest difference between the rates of wages paid hero said the rates paid in European countries is found iu those occupations which nobody preteuds can be protected under the tariff laws. For instance, there Is a far greater difference between the rates of wages paid here to carpenters, plasterers, painters, stone and brick-masons teamsters, railroad employes steamboat employes and the rates of wages paid to the same ciassesef worklug-mon 11 Europe than there is between the rates olf wages here in your mills and cotton factories and the rates of wages paid in the same industries in Europe. The rites of wages paid iu this country, too, c-n the unprotected industries are larger oa the average than the rates of wages paid in this conntry in the protected industries and the difference between them it the one case, and those paid in Europe in the othet ease, is still plainer—much plainer Another fact is that since !8»6 when the English corn laws were repeated, and what our Republican friends call free trade, and England entered on free trade, the rates of wages have increased from fifty to seventy-five ani even as high as one hundred per cent, in some occupations. Can we trace that increase la this country during the same time! Another fact is that the rates of wages in the mechanical and manufacturing industries of the United States increased far more during what is called the free-trade period, from 1830 to 1S60, than they have ever since that time. [Cheers.] 1 simply state these facts without going into argument to prove them. I can produce abundant and overwhelming testimony from laboring-meu, from manufacturers, from testimony given before investigating committees in the House to prove the truth of every statement I have made upon this subject. [Applause.} But they say if you reduce these duties this country will bo overwhelmed with foreign cheap goods, and all our manufacturing and mechanical industries will be ruined. Why, gentlemen, if all the ships in the world were employed continuously In bringing goods from' Liverpool to Now York, it would take them two years to bring as much as a single railroad in this country carries in one yean If all the Ciinard vessels plying between Boston sad; New York and European portswere to be employed. It would require them seventy-five years to bring to this country m much goods as the Pennsylvania railway esrries in one year. [Applanae ] And yet these gentlemen expect a sensible man to believe that a reduction of the taxation on the people will close up ail our manufacturing establishments and compel people to rely alone upon foreign products for Ui» necessaries of Ufa The proposition is too absurd and preposterous to be argued. From 1880 to 1S«U, when wo had our tariff, our manufacturing and mechanical industries prospered as never before, and net only that, bat the great agricultural interests of the country, which we all know is the only safe and sure foundation for its prosperity and its purity, prospered along with them. The fanner, the agricultural laborer, is the man who stiffen meet under this system. , Mr. Frye, of Maine, a distinguished member of the United Stales Senate, a particular friend of Mr. Blaine, mpdie a speech in that body on the 23d of last January in which he said that he had reason to believe. slier making a personal investigation of this queetidh of labor and prices at commodities, that bacon and pork, flour, butter and cheete^were aa s" this oountry as they were In ! u to w, the iwfito^s

farmer produces aid k* compelled to sell, are as cheap here as the!/ are in the pauper labor countries of Europe. This is the testimony of a Republican Senator given in the United States Senate after a personal visit to Europe. Rut how is it with the things which the farmer is compelled to buy! Are they as cheap here as in Europe 1 No. You are subjected upon" every ono of them, if they are imported, to an average tax of 47 1-10 per cent, and on the rest the manufacturer has the opportunity to add the same percentage to his prices, and in muuy cases he floes it in the name of American tabor, professedly in the interest of American industry and to promote the good of the people,, because he says that you must encourage these industries and give employment to las many laborers as possible.

n ny, my iarmer inena, u you snuuiu oo returning home from the store with a wag-on-load of goods purchased for the use of your family with the proceeds of ithe sate of your crops, and some man met you on the public highway and declared that he inteuded to seise that wagon-load of goods and burn them on the ground, you might be likely to protest, and to want to know the reason. You would bo astonished if thatmau should toil you: “I aura great public benefactor. I intend to do this iu the interests of American labor and manufacturers, because if I destroy theso goods which your family must have you will be compelled to employ more labor to produce more crops to buy these goods over again, and the manufacturers who made them will be required to employ more labor to produce the goods for you. I am here,” says this man, “to promote the interests of American labor and American industry. 1 am a protectionist.’’ f Applause.] This is a fair illustration of the principle which underlies this system of taxation. No man objects to a rate of taxation, whether it bo by the general Government, or State or municipal governments, necessary to raise a sufficient amount of revenue to defray all proper and legitimate expenses of public administration; but whoo the tax drummer has taken from the people a sufficient amount of their earnings to accomplish this purposo he should take his hand out of their pockets. [Cheers | That is the Democratic doctrine and the whole Democratic doctrine. [Aipplausel Free trade! It concedes the right and duty of the Government to raise by taxation, in some form or other, a sufficient amount of money to defray all expenses and meet all honest obligations, but it concedes likewise that the settled policy ol tbe Government is to raise a large portion of its revonue by duties on imports! but wo protest that the people I shall have cheaper clothing and agricultj ural implements before they get cheap whisky and cheap tobacco. [Cheers.] The Republican platform, on the contrary. declares that they Will repeal the whole internal system rather than surrender auy part of the protective system. Now, the duty upon sugar is a part of the protection system. The high duty upon woolep goods and cotton goods, and upon steel and iron is a part of the protective system. The true meaning of the Republican platform is that it will repeal the tax on whisky, beer and cigars, and cigarettes and cheroots, but it will repeal So part of the duty upon the articles I have mentioned. Are the people ready to indorse that p’atform. [Criesof “No!”] Would you rather have cheap elothing and oheap agricultural implements than cheap whisky and tobacco! Would you rather that your family and yourself should have cheaper and better clothing and agricultural implements and medicine and books, and cheaper and better cooking utensils anti furniture, and material to supply your homes than cheap whisky or beer or tobacco! Mr. Harrison says they will retain tho entire protection system and do away w.lh the internal revenue taxes rather than sacrifice the protection system or any part of it. It is very adroit, but the time will come when the Republican party will be compelled to choose between the total repeal of tho internal revenue tax and the re ductiou of duties on imported gbods. He goes further, does Mr. Harrison, and specified tho oleomargarine tax as one which need not be repealed. He would rather repeal the entire tax on whisky thaw take off the duty on any imported articles, except articles the like of which are not produced here. Mr. Cloveiand [cheers] in his letter of ae eptance puts the euse on this point in the strongest possible light. Ha asks what I relief this will afford to the plain, common people of the land. How many of you are there, gentlemen, who are in the habit of purchasing and using in your family articles of foreign production, the like of which are not produced in this country! A very few of you. Yet there are tho articles upon which tho Republican platform pledges to take olf tho tax—the things which are produced abroad and which are also produced here, tho tax to remain ou so thut you who use largo quantities of these articles must continue to pay high prices, wbilo the only lax to come off foreign imports is tho tax on those things which are not produced here and luxuries. 1 said I would not make a speech. I have not kept my word very strictly. [Cries of “Go ahoad.”] It'-is true that I did not attempt to make an argument, but simply to state some propositions which 2 , think the people ought to take into consideration, and which I am sure ithey will tako into consideration in this campaign. I I look forward, gentlemen, to the ides ol November for the achievement lof one of tho grandest Democratic victories ever witnessed in this country. [Ujproarious cheers and applause ] I know that if the intelligent and honest men of this country will sum up this question of Federal taxation, unbiused by political prejudice, unawe i by political power, they will give a just and righteous decision, and Cleveland fcheersl and Thurman [cheers] will be elected by n majority much larger than that which secured the Presidency for us in \S4. [Prolonged cheers and applause.] This Administration, by its prudent and conservative course, by its honest and faithful execution of tho law in all parts ol the country, has removed all the apprehensions of danger and disaster which seemed to prevail in the minds of some of our opponents four years ago. No man can say that the affairs of the people and tho ntairs of the Government are not as secure in the hands of the great National Democratic party as in the hands of any other political party that ever existed In this country. [Loud cheers.] This is our country as well as the country of our Republican friends. [Cheers.] Wo have aa much interest in its greatness, in Its glory, as they can possibly have, and no matter what may befall us as a political pnrty. wo will stand hereafter, ns we have stood in the past, through disaster and di sieadily and firmly by the principles s we believe to be right and far the best t te rests of the people. : W-iaSS

The Bugaboo Bids'* Frighten. The sole significance of the Maine eleoI ti hi is in the demonstration it affords that i ti e voters are not frightened by {the tariff u are nor the British bugaboo. The Republicans gained but 601 over the September vote in 1884, while the Democrats gained 8,047, and the Prohibitionist* 1, <81. i The meaning of this is that the “scare” d da’t work—the bugaboo didn’t frighten. The voters of Maine are familiar with b >th these “rackets,” and familiarity has b -od contempt The people remember that four years ago Mr. Blaine p t< business and starvation w a:: the consequence of his they have seen, instead, three of t p osperous years for bothcapitalf that have been known since the I Si panic of 1873. If Maine, with
