 SECRETARIES.

When the real business began, MT. Sargent had hat full of papers and notes. MT. Sperry had also various sheets of paper with notes as "the heads for his speech.
 MT. Sargent, beginning his opening speech, said: "Some of you know, my fellow-c citizens and Mr. Chairman, that have been confined by.illness to my home; that have had se- were cold and that I have not yet recovered. hope the audience will indulge me if speak
 low. I feel certain I cannot be heard throughout the house.
 "This discussion tonight is purely busi-
 ness discussion, one that belongs to the mer- chant, the manufacturer and the
 iabOrsr. I trust it is unnecessary to enter Into this as an
 argument. There is one bottom truth I
 wish to get at and that the tax on imports is
 . tax on personal consumption. It is tax
 which concerns the tariff on wool, railroad
 iron and many other things which affects
 everyone from the workingman to the man.
 ufacturer, and finally gets back every time on personal consumption. The tariff tax is not upon wealth. The millionaire who pays 5000 for his yearly maintenance, spends no more than the workingman or clerk who ex- pends the same sum for his living.
 stThe United States tariff revenue is mainly to protect property or accumulated wealth. It is money used to maintain lighthouses, to dredee navigabIe channels for the benefit of commerce and to construct and garrison forts to protect property, for the building and equipping of navy yard on the high seas and in paying the salaries of foreign minis- ters and consuls to protect wealth. All in- dividuals pay thus to protect accumulated wealth; in the meantime wealth goes right on and smiles Tariff, to be sure, is good thing but will suggest to you workingmen that l you don't want more than is good for you.

MT. SperTy next treated his audience to
 some oaustic remarks upon the surplus, and
 remarked by way of introduction that it is
 always better to have the balance on the
 right side of the ledger. He showed at some
 length many of the prominent fsllacies in re-
 gard to the Democratic idea of reducing the
 existing state of affairs.
 When you reduce ths duty you increase importation, and these goods are imported that should be manufactured by our laborers.
 Take the manufacture of files. A reduc- tion of forty per cent. must close our manu- factories. In 1880, out of the files made in the United States the labor amounted to great proportion of the cost; the raw mate- rial being but minor item. The speaker referred to file shop in this city that ad- mirably illustrated the subject. Raw mate rial is affected by the tariff so that our work men may thrive and flourish. In order to find the tariff on such raw material you would have to get one of Dr. Whites best microscopes. (Nueh applause).
 In the pearl button nanufaetories of New other half on half pay. Austria imports 1, ,000, ,000, 600 buttons per year, all made by convict labor. She prohibits their sale in her dominion, but the tariff isn't high enough to keep them out of here, and our workmen have to suffer for it. The Mills bill would meet this state of things by more reduction, and thank God every mothers son among 4Vs (Applause).
 Let's come back to sugar. The duty on sugar is sixty eight per cent. and on rice one hundred per cent. and salt is free A family of six persons uses three hundred pounds of l sugar yearly and the duty is two and one-half I cents pound. This amounts to $7.50. The ! some family uses % pounds of salt and in l stead of saving $6.50 as they would if sugar was on the free list they save three cents. I Yet these fellows go about the streets how'll | Dg free salt when their sugar is $6 50 more 6 | Eear than it ought to be. Gentlemen (turns ng to the Democratic side of the stage), you | 'ught to be ashamed of yourselves and if you rent am ashamed for you. (Great applause nd laughter.)
 And the worlds markets. Ninety-two per ent. of our goods are sold here and shall we 1 svolutionize the entire tariff system to save he other eight per centa If you do get It our wages would go down.
 Take raw material. Pig iron isn't raw material, for the moment the pick strikes he deposits of the earth labor has entered ato the qHestion, and yet kx. Sargent oslIs

' | free list and there are other articles of 6 du- ! tible nature which together make an actual ! loss of 60 per cent. to the government and yet they have the effrontery to stand up here ! and say that the reduction is but per cent. Great applause.)
 The fact that the Mills bill reduces the duty on many articles below the protective point is another objection have to this bill. If the tariff is below the protective point it is as disastrous as free trade itself, The Mills bill does not raise the duty on one single article. Whether the bars were down before or not, he does not stop, but goes right on reducing until the smallest sheep In the farmers pen can get over the fence. There are other articles which if the duty were raised on them would give to this
 country the sum of $200, ,000, 900 which now goes to the laborers of some other country.
 If you prefer them to be made there. then
 vote for the Mills bill.
 Among the 200 articles on the free list the
 most important is wool. Prior to 1860, un-
 der tariff for revenue only, we produced
 wool to the amount of 60, ,00O, 900 sounds
 After A years it has increased to 3O8..0OO. GOO pounds. Look and see how sensitive it is when the tariff touches it. When the tariff been reduced to 65, ,OO0, ,O00, and in thet time III, 900, 900 pounds were imported. Is it no advantage to the farmers to have this sum saved to them?
 We live on the prosperity of our neiehbor and his loss, tell you, affects you and me.
 Now you see what e slight change has done. When the duty has been reduced ala together the effect will be to destroy the in- dustry altogether. But let me tell you that when the sheep are wiped out up will 20 the I price of wool and likewise the price of l clothes. Mutton, too, goes with the sheep | and you won't have ss mnch meat to eat then | as Mir. Sargent recommeuds
 But how has this robber tariff affected the | price of wool in this country? It has reduced | the price, by favoring competition, from 56 and 62 cents per pound to eight and 17 cents. When such is the case how ia the tariff added to the cost of the consumerq
