"PooR MANS BLANKET"

Tax ON Rich Mans Blanket Reduced 01, 70,
ON Poor Mans blanket 0nly ~ Cents.
[Spesch BY Hon. Nelson Dipglsy, Jr., Of
Maine. in House Of Representatives Nay I,
18S6 c.r
The gentleman from Texas dwelt with
some feeling on the taxes imposed by the
present tariff on the poor mans blanket,
and conveyed the impression that in the
bill which he has presented the one thing
especially cared for was the interest Of
the poor man In the matter Of blankets.
What was my surprise, therefore, ON
looking at tho blanket ''tax" proposed by
the new bill 10 nnd that the rich mans
blanket had been subjected to . reduc.
tion Of SITS In the tsx-assuming, Of
course, that the gentlsman's theory that
duty ON blankets 10 ''tax" which in
creases the cost Of blankets to the extent
Of the duty II eorrect-while the poor
mans BLANKET has been reduced only 40
cents.
Let me call my friends attention to
this discrimination against the poor mans
blanket.
Under the present tariff = five-pound
blanket invoiced In England at 30 cents
per pound, or e1.60 (for . blanket selling
in English markets at $1.75 to % would
be undervalued to this extent In the In
voice), would pay duty Of 10 cents per
pound, 90 cents, to compensate the man.
ufacturer for tho duty on tho WOOL and
an ad valorem duty Of IS per cent, 80
cents; total duty, S1.02. The rich mans
blanket, invoiced 1T e5, pays duty Of IS
cents per pound and 70 per cent I'd
valorem; total duty, e8.76 Now, the
Mills bill, which strikes OF the pound
duty because the wool duty Is abolished,
imposes uniform duty Of 40 per cent. on
imported blankets. This would make
the "tax" on the poor mans blanket 90
cents, reduction Of only - cents, while
the tax ON the rich mans blanket would
be reduced to q, reduction of e1.75.
And call attention to the fact that ON
this article of blankets-''poor mems
blankets" too--the Mills bill makes the
reduction ON that part Of the duty which
goes to the farmer for wool; and notwith-
standing all the denunciation Of the "rob-
ber'' manufacturer INDUCED in by the
gentleman from Texas, yet 1t actually in
creases the ad valorem duty which goes
to the manufacturer per cent.
When the gentleman's colleague (Mr.
Crain) asked him during his speech how
much the duty was reduced by his bill ON
a pair Of 81. 80 blankets, and the chair
man of the ways and means committee
proudly replied "From $1.80 to S1," I
wanted to ask the distinguished chair
man ON what principle Of justice he pro-
posed to compel the workingman to give
an extra days work for blanket to
shield him from the cold winter, for this
b what the gentleman must believe he

What John Brennan Says Of His Irisl

What John Brennan Says Of His Irish
Fsllow-Citissns.
John Brennan, Of Sioux City, one Of
the leading Irish citizens Of the United
States, was asked:
''Is there any chance of stampeding tho
Irish vote back to the Democracy ut the
last moment, as was done four years
agof'
He replied: "No, sir, It cannot be done.
They will not be deceived as to the issue.
The Irish-American press is generally in
dependent in politics now, and these pa-
pers are decidedly Republican. The Irish
World, the Chicago Citizen, the Amer.
ican Celt, Of st. Louis, the Tablet, Of New
York, and the Chicago Catholic have
more extensive circulation and influence
than all the others combined. And any
Nationalist papers that come from Ire
land, rejecting the feelings Of the Irish
nation at home, are decidedly opposed to
Cleveland and his policies. They have
received more practical knowledge in
politics during the past four years than
in fifty years previous to that period"

the citizen; that we are opposed to Sec

Colored voters who have been ap-
preached by Democratic, or any who may
have been lod for moment to think that
the Democratic party is entitled to the
suffrage Of single negro, should read
the speech which Allen G. Thurman de-
livered January 81, 1858, in opposition to
the extension to oolored men of the right
of suffrage. The following extract will
show that the Democratic candidate for
vice president was and is one of the bitter.
est negro haters Of the nineteenth cen-
turb. Here Is what he said:
''Of all the delusions I have ever
known, the idea Of political equality be-
tween the white and black race seems to
me the greatest II IL impossible that
the race to which we belong can submit
to negro domination; 1t is impossible that
80 inferior race as the negro can com.
pete with the white man in the business,
much less the politics, of the country"
These are the sentiments held by the
"Old Roman" who is further accredited
with being rebel sympathizer, an accu-
sation, by the way, which neither he nor
any other Democratic has attempted to
refute. The above should have been read
at the recent assemblage Of colored men
in Indianapolis, who imagine they want
to be Democrats. It Is entirely oharao-
teristlc Of the Democratic party In times
past a. well as at present, and that Judge
Thurman's opinion had not changed IL

he said "the negro is q prolific animal

PARTIES AND PROHIBITION.
Extract from Miss Wizards Ad-
dress before the w. G. T. u.
i'm New York.

choral suasion leads to legal sua-
sion, and that involves in its Ma
tional phases political suasion. 1t
takes time to build the party, but
then time comes as fast as it goes,
and we have all the time there is.
The person who would win must
follow chosen path, as the engine
aoes the track or the telegraph mes
sage the wire. This you have seen,
and it has made you skilled labor
ers in the Temperance cause. You
know whereof you affirm; you
have learned by the logic of events
and the argument of defeat, many
things not to do and not few
things to do. 1t is hard to be pa
tent with those who are still in
the A BIS of total abstinence, when
you are away over in the polysylla-
bles of Prohibition and its deriva-
tives; but we were all there once,
and it is very hopeful place in the
Temperance spelling book. Let us
possess our souls in patience till the
storm be over-past, confident that
those who begin where we began,
with personal Prohibition, will at
a day not distant see that National
Prohibition is the necessary sequel
of the law they made unto them
selves, on the principle that what
is morally wrong can never be le-
gally right; what is legally wrong
can never be politically right, and
that as our grand Mary Lathrap
says, new issue can only enter
the temple of law through the por.
tails of politics. Parties are con-
trolled externally by majorities, but
internally by that element within
them that is most inclined to bolt.
The liquor element in the old par
ties keeps them both teverish and
uncertain in their movements. The
Temperance reform requires par.
ty that is calm of pulse, sober and
steadfast Of purpose, and whose
members would bolt on any issue
under the sun sooner than on that
of Prohibition.

Prohibitionist; was elected to the
Legislature as Republican Prohi-
bitionist in his county, over four
hundred Democratic majority, and
now in that strong Democratic
county, formerly cursed with the
Liquor Traffic, there is not one sa-
loon. The county jail IS entirely
empty, and the people are happy in
the grand success of Prohibition.

TWO PRACTICAL SUCCESS
TIONS.
Post Appeals and Watch
the Ballots.

EDITOR FREEMAN:
Please submit these two practical
suggestions for the prompt conaid-
GRAFTON Of our CO workers through
out the State:
First. The friends of the Amend.
ment, on election day, should put
near each voting place one or more
large plaoardds, ot.iiing special at
tention to the Amendment, and the
Importance of voting for it regard
less of party affiliations. This
would keep the matter directly be-
fore the voters all day long.
Second, Party Prohibitionists
should use the utmost diligence Il
ascertain which of the old parties
does the the most to defeat the
Amendment at the polls. OF course
every vote cast for or against the
Amendment win be in connection
with a party ballot, and will show
the political complexion of the vo-
ter. 1t will prove interesting, a
little further on, if the Amendment
should be defeated, to know who
did it. And if it carries, we will
want to know which of the two old
parties showed it the most friend.
