AS TO the proposition of the protectionists
TO repeal The taxes ON whisky, beer and to-
bacco. no expressed himself as entirely op-
posed to IT, Taxes could be collected on
these articles with less injury to the people
than on any articles consumed by the hu-
man family. and so long as it was neces-
sary to collect taxes for the use of
the government it was utterly indefensible

whisky and beer. Under the system of
protection the foreign trade Of tine country
had been ruined, 50 that now the American
flag could rarely be seen in a foreign part,
labor had been arrayed against capital,
strikes had been encouraged, and a species
Of COVE nment paternalism established
which threatened to destroy the very frame

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Mr Berry ad-
dressed the Senate to-day on the subject of
the Presidents annual message. He spoke
Of the universal interest awakened by the
bold and fearless manner in which the sys-
tenn Of Federal taxation was discussed in
that message, and said that the time could
not much longer be delayed when some
change must be made in that system
When fairly canvassed and understood, its
injustice would, he believed, necessitate a
change. Taxation should be for revenue
purposes only. The present system was
utterly indefensible It was fundamentally
wrong in principle, and doubly wrong in

A POLITICAL SLAP.
The House Shelves Resolution With
q Hidden Purpose.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Enloe, of Tennessee, reported
adversely the resolution calling upon the
Postmaster General for the following in
formation:
First What instructions, il any, have
been given to subordinate officers of the
Post Office Department intended to pro
hibit American citizens from using the
United States mail on the same terms as
Canadian citizens living in the same viii
lage and competing in business with such
American citizens!
Second Whether any statute law pro-
hibits the mailing in Canada of seeds
plants and bulbs grown by Americans on
American soil.
Third. Whether by the provisions of the
recent postal treaty, officers of the postal
service of the United States are authorized
to place an espionage on Canadian mails for
the purpose of determining whether citi-
zens of the United States are availing
themselves of the benefcent provisions ac-
corded TO Canadian citizens by the postal
treaty.
A POLITICAL SCREED.
The report accompanying the resolution
states that the resolution partakes more of
a criticism of the existing law a protest
against its enforcement and an arraignment
OF the Postmaster General for enforcing
the law, than Of proper resolution of in
quiry.
After n somewhat heated political debate,
Mr.. Peters, of Kansas, wished to amend the
resolution by striking out the words which
were considered to reflect upon the Post
Office Department but was not permitted
to present the amendment.
The resolution was tabled by vote of
1875 yeas to 1872 nays.
Mr. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, rose to
present "A resolution bearing on the same
subject, but Mr.. Reed demanded the regu-
lar order
Mr. Randall then moved to reconsider the
vote by which the resolution was tabled,
stating that his object was to get respect
full resolution of inquiry.
Mr.. Reed demanded the yeas and nays,
saying that he did not wonder the brethren
wanted to explain.
The motion TO reconsider was lost by a
vote of 1913 yeas to 1877 nays.

| regret could not have the privilege
of refuting the fallacies and sophistries
of the republican Journals and republl-
can orators touching the question Of the
tariff as relates to wool. take the posi-
ton that there is no competition possible
for woods grown in Montana, which are
clothinp wools, by the reason of the i'm
portation of foreign wools, which are
almost exclusively either combing woods
like those grown in Australia, or coarse
carpet woods like those grown in South
America, Russia and Turkey, which coun
tries send us almost all the woods we I'M
port. .#"
Of 118,000,000 lbs. imported in 1887,
only about 100000 lbs. were clothing
woo]s, and almost the entire quantity was
composed Of carpet wools, which are nee
essary to us for admixture in the manu-
facture of blankets and the cheaper
grades of clothing; and the importation
Of the fine wosls OF Australia would en-
able us to make fine cassimeres. which
we cannot now do. This would give us
a wider range Of manufacture, increase
the demand for our clothing wool and
thereby appreciate its value. Italy, where
it is said herders get only cents per day
and live on maccaroni and oil, shipped to
the United States, in 1887, only 5000 lbs.
of wool, all told. -E+. "--
