A REPUBLICAN, PAPER ON OAR
LIsLE,S ELECTION.

The New York Evening Post thus
accurately expresses the meaning of
Carlisle's election to the speakership:
Eve do not look for any immediate
changes to follow Mr.. Carlisle's eleva-
ton to the speakers chair. His cleo
ton signifies the direction in which the
thought Of the country has turned in
respect to its tariff policy rather than
any determination or desire to knock
away at once the crutches upon which
so many of our crippled industries are
hobbling. No e reformer, if a
carte blanche had been given him to
write a tariff upon, two years ago,
would have proposed a scale of duties
which would compel the steel-rail man
ufacturers to sell at $35 per ton. Still
less would he haye proposed q policy
which looked to shutting up three
fifths OF the iron-furnaces OF the coun-
try. These interesting results, which
have been brought about under the
reign of the protectionists, prove that
the tariff has done its best or its worst
for us, and that no harm which the
revenue reformers ever threatened cali
be 80 harmful as the condition we have
actually reached after twenty years OF
extravagantly high duties"

A TARIFF FOB REVENUE. NOT A
NO-TARIFF POLICY.
IFrom the N. Y. World.l

Our distinguished democratic neigh
Dor, the Sun, which is laboring to ex-
orcise the banshee Of free trade, says:
acknowledgment ofsober men will be that
in the present temper of the public
mind neither New York nor Connecti-
cut nor New Jersey nor Indiana can
possibly be carried upon the free-trade
programme. Louisiana will certainly
vote against it, and Georgia and North
Carolina will do likewise. Indeed, the
only states that can surely be relied
upon to give democratic majorities I'M
der such circumstances are Kentucky
and South Carolina"
You are right. We doubt whether a
single state in the Union could be car
ried on such a platform declaring in
favor Of free trade. We also doubt
whether a single state could be carried
on a free-love platform. A party that
went before the country on a platform
embodying the doctrines of Ingersollism
or communism would certainly be
badly beaten. Noparty will be able to
elect q president in 1884 which openly
proclaims the doctrine of infant damna-
ton or opposes the single rule of three.
But what is the alleged "free trade
programme" and what political party
is committed to it 2 Certainly net the
democratic party.

OARLIsLEs SPEECH ON TAKING THE
CHAIR.

ssGentlemen of the House of Repre-
sentatives:-I thank you sincerely for
the high honor conferred upon me by
the vote lust taken. To be chosen from
the membership of a body like this to
preside over its deliberations il a dis
tinction upon which any citizen may
properly congratulate himself, and 1
assure you your kindness is fully ap-
preciated. At the same time ! realize
the fact that the position which you
have assigned me is n of very great
labor and responsibility, and while
profoundly grateful for this manifesto
ton of your confidence, l shall enter
into the discharge of its duties with a
serious distrust of my capacity to meet
in an acceptable manner the require
ments Of the Office. l promise, howev-
er, to devote to your service all the zeal
and ability with which l am possessed.
Gentlemen, the maintenance of order
..enthe floor is absolutely essential to an
Intelligent and systematic transaction
of the public business, and I earnestly
invoke your assistance in the enforce
ment Of the rules adopted to govern
our proceedings. The large addition
to the membership Of the house result
ing from the late apportionment makes
this duty even more difficult than be-
fore, and without your cordial cooper
alton and support I cannot reasonably
hope even to discharge the ordinary
daily duties of this Office. That you
will cheerfully cooperate with me in
every proper effort to preserve order
and facilitate the business of legislation
I have no doubt. But, gentlemen, 1
shall ask something more than mere
cooperation in the discharge of my
duty. Assuring you of my earnest de-
sire to be at all times just and impair
tial, still l cannot expect to avoid mis-
takes, and shall be compelled, there
fore, frequently to rely on the friend
" %forbearance Of gentlemen on both
sides of the house.. l am sure, gentle.
men, that all matters of legislation pre-
scented to this congress will receive
from you such careful consideration as
the magnitude of their character
and the interests involved require, and
that your action upon them will be
wise, conservative, and patriotic.
"Sudden and radical changes in the
laws and regulations affecting the COM
mercial and industrial interests of the
people ought never to be made unless
~imperatiyely demanded by some public
emergency, and, in my opinion, under
the existing circumstances, such chan
ges would not be favorably received by
any considerable number of those who
have given serious attention to that
subject. [Applause. Many reforms
n undoubtedly necessary, and it will
be your duty, after q careful examina-
ton of the subject in all its bearings,
to decide how far they should extend
and when andtin what manner they
should be- made. [Applause. 1t
there be any who fear your action on
this or any other subject will actually
be injurious to any interest or even
afford reasonable cause for alarm l am
quite sure they will be reasonably dis
appointed"
