DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET.


In many of the districts the congress
sional candidates are yet to be nomina-
ted, and members sitting out this long
session of congress feel anxious about
their affairs at home. The problem that
perplexes most of them is whether they
can make most by staying in Washington
TO attend to the duties they are chosen to
perform or by going home to look after
their interests there. 1t is always uncers
tain what maybe going on at home while
they are at Washington, but if they go
ITO lcok after their fences" they are &C
cused of neglecting their duty at Wash
ingtou. There will be hard fights in all
the close districts this fall, and in some
that are not close. The republicans in
tend to get control of the next house il
by any possible means they can accom-
plish it, The congressional contest will
be scarcely less exciting than that ovel
the presidency. The campaign will have
to be chiefly on the tariff issue, those men
who are renominated going before tht
people in their districts on their recor(
in this contest, and the new men OF
their declarations on the subject. SOM
of the men on the ways and mean
committee are going to have hard tigh
of it,
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1888-08-31

In the first place, let me say that dur
ing the entire war, when we were seeking
everything on the earth and in the skies,
and in the waters under the earth, out of
which taxation could be wrung, it never
entered into the conception of congress
to tax Observation-Disclosures. During the
most pressing eXigencles of the terrible
contest in which We were engaged, neither
breadstuffs or lumber ever became the
subject of one penny of taxation. 1t was
not because of the influence of the rich
grain dealers at Chicago, Toledo or Mil
waukee. 1t was because, if anything be
universal, breadstuffs are universal; for
they constitute literally the staff of
life" If you impose on them tax ever
so small in amount, 1t will be made pre-
text for the very sneculators of whom
gentlemen talk for adding an sppreciable
amount to the cost of barrel Of flour.
Now as to the article of lumber, l
again remind the house that there never
has been tax upon this article. The
gentleman from Ohio may talk of this
question as he pleases; but | say that
whenever the western frontiersman
undertakes to make for himself home.
to till the soil, to carry on the business of
life, he needs lumber for his cabin; he
needs lumber for his fence; he needs
lumber for his wagon or cart; he needs
lumber for his plough he needs lumber
for almost every purpose of his daily
life.-Blsine's Speech IN House of Repre-
sentatiyes. June 10. 1868.
Mr.. Blaine has outgrown the senti-
mental follies of his youth, for he is now
for protective tariff in large caps.
Yet the aforesaid frontiersman, under
taking to make for himself home, tC
till the soil, to carry on the business Of
life. needs plenty of other things be
sides lumber He needs brushes, for in
stance, which are taxed 80 per cent; but
tons, taxed % per cent; cotton goods Of
various kinds, taxed anywhere from
80 to 80 per cent; earthenware and crock,
cry, taxed 80 per cent; window glass, taxed
100 odd per cent; straw hats taxed 81
per cent; iron, taxed 30 per cent; salt,
taxed from 40 to 80 per cent; and wooden
clothing, taxed from 80 to 20 per cent, tC
say nothing of ten cents pound tax on
wool. There is not one of these thing
which Is not quite as necessary to thu
frontiersman as lumber, yet Mr. Blaine
and his party insist upon maintaining thu
taxes upon all Of them, and upon lumbe
also. He should remember that he orcI
said: IF you impose on them tax evel
80 small in amount, it will be made ,
pretext by the very spectators of whom
gentlemen talk for adding an appreciate
amount to the cost of barrel of flour :;
for what is true of barrel of flour, i
true Of barrel of salt Since Mr.. Balm
has got so chummy with the Spectator
like Carnegie, he has lost interest in hi
old friend, the frontiersman.
