The nearer you can bring .he market

They tell you n great many articles
are taxed. OF course they are. This
tariff must fall on something. You
can not take in a hundred aud sixty
millions Of dollars of revenue every
year unless you tax every thing more
or less: but we have been reducing
these taNe-. ! want to state To you
although YOU are doubtless already
familiar with it-what has recently
occurred in Congress. We have pass
cl bill To reduce taxation, and by
that bill have reduced taxation To tn.
amount of eighty million dollars.
Now reducing taxes eighty million
dollars j. worth "A great many Demo-
cratic speeches and great many
Democratic arguments. There is
great fact. We have just repealed
iifty-seven millions of internal taxes,
aud mt the same time reduced the tar
m twenty-three millions. We could
not come down altogether; we came
clown a. low n we could to raise the
necessary amount Of money To carry
ON the Government, but we have, 10y
means Of certain great improvements
10 the administration, been enabled
within the last fifteen days 20 repeal
Eighty millions oftaxes. How have We
done thats First, we have repealed all,
ur nearly NIL, the internal taxes except
those on whisky and tobacco and the
-ales Of whisky and tobacco-all the
rest with the exception of stamps.
We have abolished stamps put on re-
scipts, which are n vexation 10 the
people, and we have abolished stamps
IN all notes under one hundred dollars.
We havs brought down this kind of
taxation to the .owcst point that we
could, and nearly all that Is left Of i.
isOn tobacco and whisky. \ thousand
other little taxes that had TO be levied
during the war, we have now swept
away.
Well, how about the tariff! We have
taken otf twenty-thrcc millions from
'hc tarir. On what? Principally on
Yea, coffee and sugar, those three great
necesSarics 81 life that are consumed
hy every family in this country, and
consumed not according to their wealth
hut according 10 their number. The
lIhoring mantle man in ever con-
dition Of life must have his tea, coffee
and sugar. We have reduced the tax
ON tea from p. To- l5c per pound; OF
coffee from jc To SC per pound. We
have taken b Ter pound of OF sugar.
or 80 per cent of the entire tariff.
We have reduced the duty on pig
icon from - 10 - per ton, bringing IL
clown Ia the point where we think
there will ~ fair competition be-
tween the home and foreign producer. /.
\ great many articles We have put on
the free lit, upon which there was 2
small duty. - this Congress, that
has been - much abused and tra-
luced. has reduced your taxes eighty
millions of dollars. In the presence
of n grand result Of this kind, all little
Petty grumblings, earnings and fault
findings disappear. Here is a grand
result. And il has been brought
about hy the Republican party, and
without The aid Of the Democratic
PARTY.
Now, I want 10 call your attention
O. the fact that. notwithstanding our
Democratic friends are complaining
