OiNN1NNAlls OCpt. 10 lHC bCHlO-
cratic convention of the Sixth congress
sional district of Kentucky to-day, at
COvingtOn, renominated Speaker John
G. Carlisle by reclamation. In response
to numerous and vociferous calls, MIR.
Carlisle appeared upon the stage and
made very graceful speech, which was
frequently interrupted by long-contin-
ued cheering. He commenced by con-
graduating his constituents on the fact
that the doctrine of revenue reform was
now fairly before the people, after years
of hard struggling. 1.-THE Democratic
PLATFORM" he said, ''has de-
clared that unnecessary taxation is
unjust taxation, and upon this
declaration the Democratic party will
stand or fall in this contest. 1.-The ques-
ton to decide" he continued, sis
whether the government shall continue
the present protective tariff system, en-
failing unnecessary taxation, or return
to the safe and just system that pre-
vailed before the war. You might as
well say that man can grow rich by
PICKING HIS OWN POCKET,
as that the country is benefited by this
present tariff SYSTEM" In addition to
the facts that this system of taxation is
imposing enormous and unnecessary
burdens upon the people: that it has
accumulated in the treasury large sums
of money which ought to be in the
hands of those who cain it by their
labor and skill, it is the parent of trust
and combination and conspiracy to
control products and prices of
the necessary articles which the
people are compelled to use. When l
see Mr.. Blaine, who seems to be the
mouthpieee of the Republican party,
gives quasi Endorsement at least to
these mOnopolies. l believe that when
man attends his own funeral he
ought to be allowed to go at the head of
the procession. Laughter and ap-
plause.l Bnt 1t seems Mr.. Har-
ilege. [Applause.] Mr.. Blaine is the
great central figure in the campain, and
he tells the people, in the face of the
platform of his party, in the face of the
declarations of his political friends on
the stump and neighbors, that these
TRUSTS ARE PRIVATE AFFAIRS
in which neither the president nor any
body else has any particular right to in
terfere. Applause and laughter.l Why,
my friends, larceny is private affair
very private affair laughter and
yet it is not supposed improper to inter
fere with it by law. The bighwayman
who meets you on the public road and
demands your money or your life
is engaged in the transaction of
private enterprise. but still
the law takes cOgnizance of his
act, and Furnishes it as crime. APP
plause.l Now, gentlemen, Mr.. Blaine
has not been occupying very good
position from which to view the inter-
estS of the American workman, farmer
Or consumer. The top of Mr.. Carnegie's
coach, as it bowled along with its liv-
land, is not good place from which to
look at the interests of America. APP
plause.l Nor are the festal halls
of Cluny castle a very good point
either [applausel. Mr.. Blaine had bet
ter stay at home or stay abroad-one or
the other [cheers]. Had he come here
to his own country and mingled with
the farmers, with the consumers, with
the laboring men of the land, he would
have far better opportunity to know
what they desired than he could possibly
have dining and winning with.
THE ARISTOCRACY OF EUROPE.
Mr.. Carlisle further along in his
speech made the following statement:
1.-THE only occupation in which there
is a disparity of wages between this
country and Europe, are those which
cannot from their nature. be protected
by protective tariff-Such as carpenters,
brick and stone masons, steam
boat employees, railroad employees, etc.
The Democratic party, said he, does not
advocate free trade. 1t recognizes the
right of the government to raise money
penses and meeting it's obligations. and
we believe that this money should be
raised by levying duties ON imported
goods. Mr.. Carlisle closed his speech
with a glowing tribute to President
Cleveland. He will speak at the Demo-
cratic barbecue at Erlanger, N. Y, to-
morrow.
