1850.

The reader will bear in mind that
during the period from 1850 to 1860 we
had a revenue tariff in this country, that
the so-caIled Democrats had control of
Congress, and, except about two years
of President Filmore's administration,
of the executive department during all
that period. During that time, and un-
der ''tariff for revenue only" which
the Cleveland party is now trying to
force upon the country, occurred the
great panic of 1857, the dreariest season
the country ever passed through, except
that during Van Buren's administration,
in 1887, which was likewise under a
revenue tariff.
At the session of 1862 high tariff
was enacted, to raise means to carry on
the war. Witness the effect in the pro-
duction and prosperity of the country
in 1870, as compared with 1860.
The golden era of this country has
been under the policy of Protection.
The so-caIled Democrats are pledged
to break that down if they get into
complete power.
The Republicans will uphold and
strengthen it.

IT is our protective tariff which has
largely built up our varied industries,
and which has tended to make us the
most prosperous nation in the world.
4 protective tariff tends to aid and
build up all our industries, to bring the
producer and consumer nearer together,
and thereby largely save the cost of
transportation. This has made more
valuable the farm and given a better
market for its products. This is what has
made lands near our large cities more
valuable that those more distant. This
is why the lands in rough and rocky
New England and in sterile New Jersey
are more v"l"able than our fertile lands
in Michigan and Minnesota. Every
farmer knows well that he can not send
to foreign lands his potatoes, vegetables,
and many other things which he grows
upon the farm, and he must rely upon
the home market for the same. Hence
it is all important that he should feel a
deep interest in the building up of man.
ufacturing towns and cities near his
home, where he can market his surplus
productions. 1t is for this reason that
we see them often voting tax upon
themselves, or aiding by voluntary con-
tribution to assist in building railroads
and in the erection of factories. They
understand perfectly well that it is to
their advantage to build up these towns
and bring the consumer of their products
near to them, and to make distant mark
cts more accessible. Speech Of Hon. M
s. Bre'0er, IN House Of Representatives.

BELMONT COUNTY is very largely in
terested in sheep raising and wool grow
ing. If that industry suffers further
harm, large number Of people OF the
county will suffer serious loss. Woods
are now protected by duties which were
meant to cover the difference in price
between foreign woods and price that
would afford fair profit to American
wool growers. What is known as
the Mills Bill-which has passed the
House of Representatives, by, practical
". the unanimous vote of the Demo
cratic majority, and was opposed by all
the Republicans of that body-proposes
to put woods on the free list. This, all
candid men who know anything what
ever about the business, admit would
make wool growing in this country i'm
possible.
George L. Converse, an ex-member OF
Congress from the Columbus district,
and a Democrat, has studied this ques-
ton closely for decade of years, and
expresses the opinion that the breaking
down of this great industry in America,
and the control of it in South America
and Australia, would give Great Britain
"greater power over the United States
and over the fighting nations of the
earth than her entire armament on the
ocean"
The Home Market Club of Boston,
which is doing more to educate the peo-
pie in American ideas than any similar
organization in the country, has gath
cred together some facts which are i'm
portant. 1t appears that in 1859 Amer
lean wool growers produced 60,OOO,OOO
pounds of wool, and in the same year
British wool growers produced 100000
900 pounds. In I883American wOolgrow-
ers produced over 3OO,OOO,0O0 pounds,
and in that year British wool grow
ers produced only 132,410,000 pounds.
That is to say, under twenty years of
Protection the production of wool in
America increased fivefold, while in Free
Trade Great Britain the production fell
off nearly eight million pounds.
In 1859 British manufacturers con-
sumed 238,OOO,OO0 pounds of wool,
while American manufacturers used on
" 86,0O0,00O pounds. In 1882 our man.
ufacturers used 353,000,000 pounds,
while British manufacturers consumed
only 338,000,000 pounds. The changes
made in the tariff in 1888 produced de-
cline both in wool growing and manu-
facture. In 1879 the product was 265,-
100000 pounds, consumption 364, ,703,-
127 pounds, against 308, ,524,404 pounds
in 1886, and 4O0, ,624, $40 in 1885, which
was the highest production ever reached
The showing is equally satisfactory as
to the development of our woolen man
ufactures. Here is the exhibit:

JAMES BUCHANAN was accounted a
pretty good Democrat in his time
During his administration occurred the
dreary panic of 1S57-the soreSt time
the people of this generation have expe-
rienced. The country then had reve-
nue. tariff, which the Cleveland party of
to-day is pledged to adopt if the people
give it the power. Then, as now, the
Democratic party was domina-
ted by the South, which has always ia
vored Free Trade. In his Message to
Congress, in December, 1857, President
Buchanan said:
''In the midst of unsurpassed plenty in all the
productions of American agriculture, and in all
the elements of national wealth, we find our man.
ufactOries suspended. Every public work is re-
tarded, and private enterprises are abandoned,
and thousands of useful labOrerS are thrown out
Of employment and reduced to want. The reve-
nues of our Government, which are chiefly derived
from duties on imports from abroad, have been
greatly reduced. Under the circumstances loan
may be required before the close of your session,
but this, although deeply to be regretted, would
prove to be only a slight misfortune when COM
pared with the suffering and distress prevailing
among the people.
Cleveland and the South are driving
the country into the condition so graph
ically pictured by President Buchanan
in the dreary winter of 1857. The Peo-
pie have the matter wholly in their own
hands. Ifthey vote the Cleveland par
ty into power in November, in all hu-
man probability the same influences
will at an early day give the same po-
litical organization the control of the
Senate; and then if the trying times of
1857 are not repeated, all experience is
at fault.

PRIOR TO the war, in the period of low
tariff, a good article Of calico was worth
10 to y cents at retail. Now the same
article, and just as good. can be bought
at from to cents a yard, one-half the
price that it brought during the low tar
iff period. So you see, Mr.. President,
how the present high tariff is running
the planters and farmers who have to
buy calico. Prior to the war all agri-
cultural implements were worth from
30 to 80 per cent. more than they now
command. For instance, it was worth
35 cents to lay a scooter plow at the
blacksmith shop, and would cost from
80 to IS cents to purchase one. Now
you can purchase it for p cents. Ev-
erybody knows this helps the farmer
And in the face of all this the free trader
tells the farmer that he is being ruined
by the tariff. How utterly absurd How
absolutely false! Yet they say the
planting interest is being ruined by the
high tariff. Take the article of bacon,
for instance, which is purchased largely
by the farmers of Georgia, and prior to
the war, during the low-tariff period, it
was worth from 10 to y cents a pound
in the market. Now it ranges general
" from to s, and it has sold by the car
load within the last three or four years
as low as II.
This is the way the tariff is running
the great mass of farmers in the South
who have to buy their bacon and other
food supplies: and l might extend this
list by enumerating article after article
purchased by the farmer that is worth a
third less, or one-half as much now, in
the market,aS it cost him prior to the war.
Now, the farmers who are getting this
reduction upon the price formerly paid
by them for necessary articles would
never know they were being ruined if
they were not kindly reminded of it by
their good friends, the agents or advO-
Gates of the whisky ring.-Speech cfHon.

AUDITOR BARRETT has generously
deducted $3.50 from one of his enormous
bills presented to the Commissioners last
week for payment, on account of the
$3.50 heretofore charged and collected
for alleged work on duplicates which he
did not perform. But what about the
other items, an exhibit of which was
made in THE CHRONICLE last summer?
Mr.. Barrett had drawn from the
Treasury upward of 5000 to which he
was not entitled. Full details of his
unlawful grabs will be found in the file
of last summer. The file is preserved
in the Auditors office, and is convent
ent to the Commissioners Office. Is Mr..
Barrett to be permitted to keep the bal
anee? 1t can be demonstrated before
any jury in Christendom that he is not
entitled.
The People should demand that he be
compelled to disgorge.

THE Philadelphia American says of
the Senate Tariff bill, that it is under
stood the following points are settled:
"Ql. The duties on woods of the high
est grades are to be raised one cent.
per pound, at Senator Sherman's in
stance.
'i2l. The duties on raw sugars are to
be reduced one-half, being now between
seventy-nine and eighty-two per cent,
according to various estimates.
"t3). There viii be no increase of the
duties on tin-plate, probably because
that would cause an increase of revenue
for years to come, as our present estab-
lishments for its manufacture are not
capable of producing it in the quantity
required by the National demand.
"(4l. Alcohol used in the arts is to be
exempted from the internal revenue tax,
with careful provision against the fraud
ulent abuse of this provision by makers
of whisky.
so. The whole of the internal reve-
nue. tax on tobacco, or at least that on
leaf tobacco, will be repealed. There is
some hesitation on this point among the
Republican Senators, but the more
sweeping proposal is likely to carry the
day. At the same time the duty on i'm
ported tobacco is so altered as to shut
out the competition of Sumatra leaf to-
bacco.
"(6)" Jute butts, MANILA, sisal grass,
and several other articles not produced
in this country are transferred by the
Mills bill-salt, wool, lumber, &c.-are
taken off it.
"a moderate estimate puts the reduc-
ton the bill will effect at S65,000,000 a
year. This will be a continuation of
the policy followed by the Republican
party ever since the war. The Congress
