let shem send Mr.. Bslknsp applause
Mr.. Bei.nap's war record was no doll
baby affair
The Republican party has abolished the
income and other war taxes. The taxes
we're originally put on oy the Republican
party 10 save the country from the party
10 which Mr.. Ford belongs
In reducing the tar the Republicans
would not listen 10 England or the Southern
Conisdsrscy.
Mr.. Ford. when first elected, was firm
believer in graduated income tax. and
had said that he approved Of Mr.. Com
stocks pill. and promised TO profit by Mr.
Comstocks action. What have the Green
bsckers heard from him on that point since
his slection. The inevitable logic OF Mr..
Fvrds position Is free trade.
Mr.. Ford said that there was a surplus of
several hundred million dollars, which
was constantly increasing at the rate
OF ten millions monthly. As mat
ter of fact the surplus Is not incrsA.ins
~ that rate. The appropriations made By
Congress reduces tue amount to twenty
nins millions In three years two hundred
millions of bonds become due. and the
speaker, Instead OF fearing that the surplus
would os too great, feared that there would
be no suryius-
The spectacle Of the Democratic party
snd tn leaders In this district regre.ting that
whisky was cheap enough TO extract laugh
from the stone dogs on w. 3. Gums door
step.
The Mills bill actually reduces the taxes
on tobacco and whisky TO . large extent. as
was shown by extracts from the bill read by
the speaker. The history of the Democratic
party and the expressions Of its leaders show "
that they. rather than the Republicans, ad-
vocatsd free whisky.
Dwelling upon the title OF Little Giant
the speaker compared him with . Stephen
A Douglas. the comparison being rather
1nfavOrable 10 Mr.. Ford.
Mr. Ford's statement that the price oi
wool has been higher under low tariff is
untrue. ss statistics conculsively prove. but
on the contrary, the reduction of the tariff
has resulted in a loss in the number OF
sheep. amounting to many millions OF
dollars.
IL Is true that In European countries the
tariffs are lower than ours. but We do not
wish to INTRODUCES their system here. Taxes
there are constantly increasing while here
they are decreasing. In France, which has
been hsld up especially ss an example, only
q small part of the taxes are raised by tariff,
while direct taxes are placed on every
article in common use.
Neither the Republican party, nor Mr.
Belknap. has any quarrel with Mr. Ford
regarding his hobby of foreign immigration.
The thousands Of people who come here
from abroad, do so because. as Garfield said.
We legislsts here for the people Of the
United States aud not Of the world.
