General Warmers Speeches.-What
Is Thought OF Them.

General Warmers Sueeches--What
Is Thought OF Them.
Among the vast number OF speeches
printed in the Congressional Record ev.
cry year-and many are printed that are
never spoken at all-few are of sufficient
importance to justify a moments atten-
ton, and one half OF them are never
read BY anybody except the proof read
er. The speeches of General WARNER
are among the few that are read. He is
known and recognized in Congress and
out Of Congress as profound thinker
and a cogent reasoner, and when he un-
dertakes to make a speech, there is al
ways assurance that what he has to say
will contain wise views supported by
strong argument. His speech on the
Trsde dollar and Silver question and on
the Tariff, delivered last session, COM
mauded immediate attention and brough,
him many complimentary letters from
prominent persons, in oil parts of the
country, and many deserving notices
from the press. We have been permit.
ted to make extracts from a.few OF these
letters, and the testimony they give
shows how highly bis efforts are appre-
ciated by those who have read his speech.

satisfaction with which lhave read your
admirable and unanswerahle speech on
the Tariff question In yesterdays Con-
gressional Record. It is the argument of
a thinker and a statesman, who under.
stands the subject as l think not many
do, who nevertheless talk much on the
same subject. 1t has given me some
new ideas on the subject OF immigration.
particularly of Chinese laborers, and
confirms me on many points.
