Mr.. Carlisle on the TariT.

Speaker Carlisle made the closing speech
of the great tariff debate. His opening was
shrewdly devoted to the defense of the adj
ministration in its management of the
finances and the purchase of bonds at u
premium. The Speaker understands full
well the great blunder the Democracy made
in its failure to reduce the internal revenue
taxes during the forty.ninth Congress aud
the refusal to call an extra session of the
tiitieth Congress to adjust the revc-
nucs to the requirements of the gov
crnment, thereby preventing the uu.
necessary accumulation of money in the
treasury. Every observer of this Demo-
cratic administration and Congress who
heard the speech must have been impressed
with the inconsistency Of the speech with
the acts of the Speaker for the past three
years.
II was amusing to hear Democrats ap-
plaud his statements concerning the manage
ment of the finances and the purchase of
bonds, without one word of condemnation
from him about the secret contracts between
the Secretary of the Treasury and Mr.. Jor-
dan, Of the Western National Bank, whose
plan is to run the bonds to at least 100
and we predict they will get there through
the skillful management of these gentle.
men. They have established the remarkable
precedent that the nearer the bonds ap.
proach maturity the more they are worth,
the Secretary putting six months ago the
true value of the four per cents at l2l, and
paying for them now 12T.
The people will not be deluded by the
sophistrics Of Speaker Carlisle. They must
hold the administration responsible for the
present condition of affairs. for it can be de-
monstrated that 1t is the result of a con
spiracy to reduce the customs dues to such'a
point as to produce revenue only, leaving
American labor and enterprise unprotected
That portion of Speaker Carisles speech
comparing the tariff of '46 with the present
tariff, showing the percentage was greater
now than then, is answered by the fact that
the prosperity Of the country is also greater
now than then, because the adjustment of
customs dues is about the difference between
the labor of Europe and the labor of the
United States, which is the true measure
upon which to construct just tariiT-that
is to say, that If the labor upon n given ar.
ticle In Europe is so per cent. less than on the
same article here, that difference should be
covered by the tariff, as Europe has cheaper
money and long established plants, which
more than compensates for the cost of
transportation, insurance, and exchange.
To place the speech of Carlisle in com
parison with the hercuean, massive efforts
of Mckinley and Reed is simply cruel, and
we forbear to do 1t.

The Hon. tom" Reed on the Tariff.

Ihe Hon. "TOm' Reed on the Tariff.
For two hours yesterday crowded House
and Overlooking galleries listened to a mag
nifcent speech from "Tom" Reed, the Re
publican leader of the House. Mr.. Reed
made crushing absolutely overwhelming,
answer to the statement in the Presidents
message that Il customs duty increased
nearly the full amount of the duty
levied the cost of any home manu-
factured article. lie did this by show
,ng the utter absurdity of the PROPOSE
tion, as, if true, it would, in less than the
money in the hands of the manufacturers
than the entire assessed value of all the
property in the United States.
Mr.. Reed was cruel enough to rob the
President of the credit of originating this
idea by quoting from a speech made by
John Randolph Tucker March 3, 1882, ad-
vancing the same proposition and giving the
figures which Mr. Reed used. He also
quoted from Mr.. Townshend, Mr.. Springer,
and other members speeches of years ago to
show that President Cleveland was merely
giving expression to a theory advanced by
them.
After "fnishing up" in the most approved
style this absurd proposition of Mr.. Cleve-
lands, Mr. Reed then defined protection,
and showed what it had done for the coun-
try. Almost every sentence in Mr.. Reeds
speech was rounded up with one of those
inimitable hits at the Democracy for which
the House leader is SO famous.
The close, on the Republican side, of the
great tariff debate by Mr., Reed was worthy
of the party end the cause, and added new
laurels to the brow of the House leader.
