HOODS SARSAPARILLA. But my friend, if
you could stand behind our counter week

the reason would appear as clear as the

HoOp's SARSAPARILLA demonstrates itself
in every case where our directions are faith

get before the people a fractional part the
confidence that is expressed to us every day

upon that question, most OF us will agree !
think, that there may be conditions una n
which it might not be wise TO mako sud- II
change, even from a bad policy to a good one
Applause.
When manufacturing interests have grown
up under high protective system ana in
series of years have adjusted themselves TO
It, and when those engaged in them have be-
come accustomed TO rely upon the bounty of
tho government for support, it might DO IN
furious and even disastrous TO them TO sud
denly repeal or greatly reduce the duties.
such n course would seriously alarm many
who have employed their capital in these Gu
terpriscs, and when capital Is really alaricd,
even though il be without cause, tho result
for the time being ut least is the same as if
there were really danger. For these reasons.if
there were no others, IL has always been my
opinion that it is the duty of congress to pro-
coed carefully and cOnsGryatvely in its legis-
lation on this subject applauscl, having due
regard at every step to the large interests in
volved. In other words, J am in favor of n
reformation, not n revolution Cheers But,
Mr.. President, this process of reformation
must go on until the power of taxation is
used only for proper purposes. There must
be no step backward cheers nor any devil
alton from correct principle and sound policy.
As have already briefly intimated, this fed
eral union is o commercial rs well as a pOliti.
cal one. Politically we are free; CONNER.
cially we are not.
When our ancestors determined TO rebel
against the British system of government in
America one of the principal causes alleged
in the declaration of independence was that
il had cut of their trade with all parts of the
world. Is Il not strange, my friends that the
government established over this people by
the same men will persist in the maintenance
Of rolicy which must ultimately pro-
duce substantially the same rcsult-.namely,
tho cutting off Of our trade with
all parts Of the world? Applause.
Let us sec to it that the foundation
for such an accusation against the govern
mcnt ofthe union is remarked as speedily as
circumstances will admit. Applause Tax
alton only for the purpose Of raising revenue
for the public use applausel; commercial
regulations in time Of peace only for purposes
of protecting and fostering legitimate trade
win strengthen the union, insure the pros
perity ofthe people, and pcrpotuatc the system
Of government under which we live.
For myself, Mr.. Chairman, will checrfully
cooperate with all men and all organizations,
by whatever name they may be known, in all
proper efforts to bring about this grand result.
