SOME PEN

Mr.. Martin of Texas a few evenings
since made his maiden speech in congress,
and If it is any indication of what may be
expected of him with ripper experience he
will be a man OF whom the party may well
be proud. His subject was the tariff. In
his speech he made some rather remarka-
BILE contrasts. For instance. he inquiries:
WHO is it that has been here for months
swarming about the halls and corridors of
this chamber asking for protection, asking
that the robber tariff be continued as one
OF the perpetual institutions of this gov
eminent? Has it been the farmer with
lis pillow shoes hammered full of hobnails,
digniied by the virgin soil upon his
hands, whose tread we have heard upon
the marble floors of this capitol? Has it
been the artisan from the workshops and
manufactures, with oil and grease upon
his clothing, deep burrows upon his brow,
bearing the sign of years of labor,
weighted down by the tax of pro-
tective tariff on almost everything
he consumes? l ask my Republican
friends if they have seen any of this
class attempting to batter down the doors
of congress that protection may live2
May 1 ask the gentlemen upon the other
side of the house if they would know this
class if they chance TO meet them 2 From
the manne in which their interests are
neglected and trampled under foot by the
other side of this house l doubt exceed.
ingly if a delegation OF these honest and
toiling people were to be met in the mid
die Of Pennsylvania avenue by the entire
Republican membership of this body with
brass bands in the front and banners in
the rear there would not be one OF You
who would be able without inquiring
from this side of the house who and what
this strange body Of people were and
from whence they came"
Of the men who are really DESTROYS of
maintaining the existing tariff he had
this to say: "Mr. Chairman. l will tell
my Republican friends who have been
from the day congress convened until the
present hour asking for the continuance
, 1888-05-20

of the protective tariff system. You all
know him well, you have smoked his
three .for-a-dollar cigars and drank his
sparkling champagne. You have felt the
touch of his soft, velvety hand, and seen
him drive from one end of the avenue to
the other in his satin lined carriages and
English dog carts drawn by bang-tailed
horses, driven by swell young men who
for style, pomp and glory, rival the choic-
est selection of modern dudes. This is
the class of men we bump up against and
fall over from day to day, in and about
the corridors of this building. Men who
have grown rich by protection. who think
this government was established for their
particular benefit. This is the manufac-
turer who says: Give us protection, or
down go your infant industries

WANT THE TIME EXTENDED.

The Omaha board of trade has adopted
a series Of resolutions regarding the ex-
tension OF the time for the payment of the
bonded Indebtedness of the Union Pacific
railroad. These resolutions recite that
the provisions of the Cultivate bill have
been, in their general features, recon-
mended and approved by the majority of
the Pacific railroad investigating commit
tee, under the joint committee appointed
under the Joint resolution Of the congress
of the United States in his message, call
ing the attention o fcongress to the neces-
sity for legislation in respect to the ex-
tension of time for payment Of said in
debtedness; that it has become evident
that it is impossible for the Union Pacific
railroad company to carry on such a sys-
TEN OF extension OF its branch lines as is
required to enable it to meet the n%ecessi-
ties Of transportation in the western u
try without the assistance of congress in
extending the time for the pay.
ment of its government obligations; that
it is most necessary for the state of Ne
braska and the city OF Omaha, that said
company should have an opportunity to
extend its system of branch lines into the
rapidly developing territory of the great
West; that the extension of such branch
lines would bring the city OF Omaha into
immediate commercial relations with vast
sections of territory, and would greatly
foster and encourage its wholesale trade,
and would be of great use to the building
up and advancement of its manufactur-
ing and other commercial interests, and
that it is the opinion of the board that
it provides a fair. Just and equitable basis
OF settlement between said railroad com
pany and the government, and it is also
evident that under its wise provisions the
certain payment of said company's in
debtedness is amply secured.
The resolutions close with an earnest
request that every possible endeavor be
made to secure the certain and speedy
passage of the bill through congress.
While the grayest charges of jobbery
and extortion may be proven against the
company under former managers there
can now be no doubt that the Western
country should be a unit in its demand
that congress grant the extension asked.
The immediate development of this sec
ton must largely depend Upon congress
sional action regarding the Union Pacific.
Favorable action would mean the extern
sion of branch lines of railroad, and these
extensions would mean development with
all its attending prosperity.
