THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN THEORIES.
Now, the Democrats who theoretically have some no
ton that it is very wicked to protect American In
dustry, that it Is something very unconstitutional,
very barbarous, very tyrannical, very cruel, to
protect American indusry-they have general sort Of
theoretical proposition that neither the Constitution nor
the policy OF this country permits US to lay duties on
give the largest influx Of foreign importatiOns.
between those two views Their theory is that You should
have tariff for revenue only and that Just
goods come over, the faster they come the
should let down the barrier until for aught
should have dead level here OF European in
dustry ana no INDUSTRY az al OF our own Now we don't
60 for that The Republican partys principles are for
discreet circumspect and comprehensive arrangements
OF our foreign duties, Applause Now, If ANYBODY is
Republican party, because word for it, If they get the
power they will use IT just they have used hereto
rather have food OF the low wages production OF Europe
instead of the fabrics multiplying ali the while and cheap
to vote for the Democratic party for although they may
not have very courage any very great consist
ragged insulted and impoverished people think they
win do much of it as they dare And when you to
ncan party will protect American industry, and the
Democratic party won't And if that is the Demo
tercsted III the welfare of the people, il that
sOecism in American politics is to form part of
vote for it will be well entitled to their u share Of the
misery ana those who vote against il will be faithful and
true and pull them by the hairs of the head out of
the drowning that they fairly had deserved But under
Of tariff for revenue only They beaten that in
1880 and they have determined TO modify II and go TO
iLaughter Now, isn't that sharp 70 think that the
American people that have voted adequately and tium-
i
able To point out the difference but IT would only be to
amuse you at the expense Of the Democratic party
don't believe the Democratic party can point the diff
ference so as TO get single man that IS opposed TO
sul after the election in 1854 perhaps we shall know
Now, my first proposition about the Democrats
this subject of American labor and are d-
expecting by doubcdeang and doubefacing to get the
Iotes OF lh0Se VINO think they for the protection OF
those also that are in favor OF free trade and not
bigoted on that subject also. In using this
friend Judge Brady tells Of the Ishman who bad taken
the total abstinence pledge and after found
enjoying drink with boon companion, and being
demonstrated with on the subject and asked
If he not total abstinence man." yes" he said,
Laughter So you see there is nothing like being n in
your iah and not bigOted Yet doubt their sincerity
There is one branch Of this Government that has
directly 10 do with the tariff and that Il Congress and
House in that body that has the orginaton Of all
revenue measures IS really the MASTER so far as we can
see in the first instance Of policy Of the legislation
that shall affect hs subject. That DOdy s In the hands
of the Democratic party and the only man that can see
and have looked dspassionatcly upon hcm-that has
the least chance of being made the Speaker of
that body, where lie control the whole SUBJECT
is our esteemed fcow-citizcn. Mr. Randall of Pcnnsyl
vana, who is tariff man. and in that respect ought to be
Republicans but he Is i'll every other respect DeeNc an
little entitled 10 he Republican any Democrat Laugh
teri Now, you what they will do Having the power
and the Speaker by all odds has more power on the SUD
ect Of revenue legislation, tariff legislation than the Pres
dent all the rest of the Government put together CT
cept so far as the House can control the Speakc)hs
matter is deliberately be trusted to tariff man. Now
intend whatever is within the power OF the Amcr
Congress in raising money for the necessary expenses
the Government what taken from the people shall be
returned to he as far as il may be- in the protection OF
American labor. lApplauscI.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Well, now we come 10 the question Of Civil Service
Reform, which we all understand and partly approve
The Democratic party has had TO do with the
passage in the Senate of the bill of the Federal Govern
the subject, and the Democratic party In our
Legislature has had to do with the passage OF bin there
say that from the time either OF those bills became
law the Democratic party has made II as manifest as II
in doing anything that would prevent the
return Of the regular spos system when
