sells them to the wholesale merchants, he
must add on the amount Of this tax TO the
original cost of the goods and sell them at a
price just so much increased. or else ne
would be losing money or could not carry on
his business. Accordingly he adds the duty
to the original cost when he sells them 10
the wholesale merchant The wholesale
merchant must sell them at the same price
with his profits added, whenever he sells
them to the retail merchant. This retail
merchant must keep the tariff charge In his
price with his profit when he sells to his Gus
toners, so 1t is the man who purchases me
goods who eventually pays the tariff on the
goods. In all cases ii is the
MAN WHO USES THE GOODS
who pays this tariff duty. 1t is just as plain
as that two and two make four. If were
schoolmaster and had boy ten years OF age,
and could not make him understand that, L
would give him up as an ineorrigible scholar.
Gentlemen, you will have to excuse me
moment on account of the heat,
The rink building had been closed be-
cause of the raw and chill atmosphere,
and with 5000 persons so closed in the
air became Sitting vitiated. Mr.. Thur
man took seat after speaking to Gov.
Green, of New Jersey, who advanced
and addressed the people. When he
had concluded Mr.. Thurman advanced
and resumed, thus:
Ny friends, hSGan to fear that was going
to have recurrence of the malady that at
tackled me at New York, and therefore took
my seat and begged my friend, GOV.
Green, to OCCUPY your attention until L re-
covered. am greatly obliged to him for do
ing so. He has put in the time better than
could have done, but will now endeaYor 10
resume my remarks and speak as well as can
fer the remainder of the time that VIII oc-
cupy your attention. The governor has
spoken on the question of the surplus. NOW
l hold in my hand letter from the secretary
of the treasury, giving the exact amount
down to cents OF surplus which there was on on
year-only a few days ago-and that
amount was SI33, 400, ,O69 80-S13 33 O00,0 600
and upwards drawn from the pockets OF the
people and lying in the treasury OF the
United States without the slightest necessity
of its being there: money for which the gov
ernment has no use, but which, II Kept III
the
POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE,
would be of great benefit to them In their
business and their homes. And now my
friends, what is to be done in an emergency
of this kind? 1t is admitted on all hands that
this surplus must be reduced, for 1t goes on
increasing from day TO day, at the rate OF
$4,000. 900 month drawn from the pockets
of the people without the slis htest
necessity in the world for any such thlng
There are but three ways in which this sur
plus can be reduced-the one is by eXtraVa-
CANT expenditures of the government (and
no man will say they should do that; and
thereby reduction of the internal revenue,
free whisky and tobacco against free pro-
dUce; the third is by q reduction OF
the tariff on imported articles, and
that is the doctrine which the Democratic
party advocates. / hope you will advocate
it too. hope you will advocate that system
which takes from every man the taxation on
everything that he wears; on everything
that his wife wears; on everything that his
children wear; on every implement OF trade:
Gentlemen, l am unable to proceed. ana
must thank you and give way to others.

speech. Judge Thurman was escorted
from the hall to the depot, where he
boarded the special car, and the journey
to Columbus was resumed.
Attorney General Stockton and eX-
Gov. Leon Albeit also delivered adj
