over the scheme for plundering the Gov

would be amazed. There is scarcely any

say the Government has the money. It il

But if you want authority on that sub

knew him well. Iserved in the House Of
Representatives with him. I know how
intelligent he was. know how frank and
outspoken he was. In the year 1881 he was
Chairman Of the House Committee ON
Manufactures, and in q report made by
him in that year he said: "The doctrine
that duty on imports serves to cheaper the
prices Of commodities which they are
levied upon seems to conflict with the first
dictates Of common sense" Laughter.
The duty constitutes part of the price OF
the whole mass of article in market 1t is
substantially paid on the article of do
nestle manufacture, and rs well as upon
foreign production. Upon one it is . duty,
upon the other it is burden, and the re-
peal Of the tax must operate as an equiva-
lent reduction Of the price of the article,
whether foreign or domestic. We say so
long as the Importation continues the duty
must be paid by the purchaser Of the
article. The genuine and prominent effect
must be to increase the price Of the article
to the extent Of the additional duty, and it
Is then paid by the consumer. II it were
not SO, il the general effect of adding ON q
duty were to reduce the price of articles up
on which it was levied, the converse Of the
proposition would also be true, and the OPP
Grafton for reducing the price of the Ldomes-
tic article would be to repeal the duty on
some article imported. We can not SUBJ

ties of imports are paid by foreign mer-
chants or manufacturers. And yet there
are scores-I don't know but there are
hundreds-of men perambulating the coun-
trv or speaking in the halls of Congress to-
day who tell Yu that this tax is paid by
the importer or by the foreign manufact-
urer. John Quincy Adams knew better,

better educated, more intelligent, than

THE LABoEER AND THE TARIFF.
For nearly twenty-seven years we have
had the highest tariff that this country
ever knew before-an average fully twice
as high as it was before the war. We have
had that high tariff all this time, and if it

Of strikes Of laborers because Of de-

that they can not live on what they re-

are called lock outs-that is, when the EN-
ployers suspend operations and lock up
their mills, because, they say, they can't
afford to pay any more wages than they
have been paying. Now, why are these

are there such institutions as labor unions

mentioned, and they are the laborers
of both colors and sexes who flock to
a city for employment; many not hnd,

The demand for agricultural labor
