CONGRESSMAN WILSON on THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY.

PUBLICAN RAhE1.
The following very appropriate and
striking passages are from Mr.. Wilson'S
noted speech delivered in the House few
days ago:
"Mr. Chairman, / hope i will not be
offensive when say that the only remain,
Jog mission Of the Republican party, which
lays superAuous on the stage, is 10 go slow
in reducing taxes Applause and laugh
ter It's very good masters, and our very
good masters, who in the long stretch OF
your vicious fiscal policy you have taken
into par nership with the Government ID
leyying taxes upon the people, force you
70 90 slow in the reduction Of taxes. What
matter TO them that the same grave bur
dens of taxes Cypress the people to day
that they took upon their shoulders Ia the
stress OF great war and in the spirit OF
o,trioiie sacrifice which then animated
them? Their CRY is srill the one echoed
by the gentleman IRON Iowa Mr.. Hender,
son Let Us 60 slow in the reduction OF
taxes" Applause
Mr.. Chairman, what boots it to those
gentlemen that distress stalks abroad in
al the land to-dsy2 What boots it tina.
there are so many thousands ond tens OF
thousands of the laboriDg men OF the coun-
Try who End the struggle for bare necessi'
Ties OF lite becoming harder and harder
every day? What boots it that the specter
of want has this very winter taken has
seat, an uubidden guest, by the freside
of hundreds of thousands of the toiling
men ofthe country who ask not charity or
aims, but tor the bare privilege, before
God, Of getting an honest days work at
an honest day pay. Go slow in the reduc'
ton of taxes Loud applause
Mr.. Chairman, have said what was the
lingering mission of the party represented
by The gentleman from Iowa. The day is
coming when that last citadel at the othet
end OF this capitol which it still holds, a
citadel, where | tear corporate influence
and the power of wealth are stronger than
the voice of the people, will pass away
from it, and it will sink into the grave OF
desd and buried parties and the moss will
gather on its tombstone. Then my friend
rom Iowa-snd nobody will be better en-
titled to perform that pious task than he
will come as Old Morality to remove the
moss and renew its epitaph, aud imagine
the inscription over which ne will bend
with most tenderness, and Carve again with
greatest distinctness, will be that which re,
cites q truth that no man will ever contro'
7ert-thst in all its history the old party
went slow in the reduction Of taxes. Ap
plsuse and laughter
This is first class diagnosis Of the dis
esse that is gnawiug the Republican party.
Nearly every effort ths; has been made tore
duce the higher indirect taxation instituted
during the war has been met With stubborn
resistance. Indeed, so tenaciously Is this
idea held that every effort to equalizs taxa
ZION is opposed IS an unnecessary and ru-
nous innovation. The party sill go slow
in the reduction Of taxes and fast in the
expenditure till the day OF its demise,
which fortunately cannot be very far off.
