ourselves in our last platform to revise the
tariff in q spirit Of fairness to all interests,
and we ought TO carry out that pledge in
i,s letter aud in its spirit. Secretary Man,

Sherman in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81 Senator
john Sherman addressed a,large audience
at the Academy of Music tonight, under
the auspices of the Young Republican
club. He said
There are, at this moment two great
controlling facts in American politics.
One Is the imminent danger that now
threatens the overthrow OF the economic
and n dlstrial policy built up by the Re
publican party, which, as has been shown,
has doubled the wealth of our country
within the last twenty years aud trebled
Its production; aud, second, the complete
success of what is known as the Misslssip-
pI plan. by which more than one million
legal voters OF this country have been de
prived of all rights conferred Upon them
by the constitution and law. especially the
right to vote. Alter roferringi to the de-
preston account of the war, which led
congress to tax everything, Sherman said.
but after the war this system of internal
taxes gradually disappeared one by one.
They were repealed by the Republican
party so that under the policy of that
party. to day there is no tax levied by the
United States of America on any article
uiade in this country, on any property
existing IN this country. or on any man liv-
ing in this country, for there is no inter
nal tax except on whisky, tobacco and
beer, aud whenever there is any public
necessity for relieving those taxes, | am
willing to join my Democratic friends in
relieving them.
After devotlng some time to the discus
sion of the merits of protective policy.
Sherman concluded as follows /: So won
dcrful has been the effect of the af1iatien
of these simple rules, that out of $3.50
900. 900 of imported goods, probably but
three or four hundred millions are articles
that could be produced in this country
Tor which &c have raw material. and on
those articles there is a protective tariff
levied, varying from 6j to 10 per cent.
Most of them are articles which we are
yet prepared to make. but the time is
not far distant when We will manufacture,
under the protection ola iudicious tariff,
every article necessary to human life.
