which he told all about these things and then
he concludes by saying that he found at Pitts

in one day as much as 1t required 100 men TO do

PENNSYLVANIA Mr.. Kelly about seeing women
and children making bricks in England recalls
to my memory a speech he made few years
ago in which he reminded this house that on a
former visit to England he had seen women

"The present tariff was created when the
government was engaged in a war of unpar-
allied magnitude for the maintenance of the
rightful authority. 1t has accomplished the
object for which it was created and now needs
careful revision TO accommodate it to the pres
ent condition of the country. The surplus
which it produces and locks up in the treas
ury to the detriment of business is only one of
the many serious objections to it. 1t is greatly
prejudicial to our great farming interests by
gradually but effectively diminishing the for
eign demand for our agricultural productions
at remunerative prices. 1t stands in the way
of the restoration of our shipping interests by
duties upon many articles which are needed in
ship building. 1t is anti-republican in its char
acter and its influences; it fosters mOnopO-
lies; it enriches the few at the expense of the
many. 1t violates the constitution of the
United States, inasmuch as upon many art
icles duties are imposed for protection, not for
revenue"

He stalks along carelessly and seems not to
mind or notice the continued stare and

cooked to one side, and he
is constantly twirling charm

health and takes plenty of exercise all the
while. He is very shy of reporters, and
though several of them have tackled him he
invariably escapes with a polite, "have

charged directly, with sordid motives in the
selection of name for your boy military asso-

ing to become a medium for advertising the
Busch brewing industry. In these assertions
the author of the card referred to has drawn
upon his imagination for facts, and upon his
malice for conclusions. can not characterize
the assertions more delicately, although could
not do so more plainly. 1 trust the would-be
aristocratically sensitive youth of the card .al-
uded to will be as careful in his future use of
beer as he would have it understood he is of
any utilization with the respectable industry of
brewing
have always understood that your adoption
of your name as an organization was expressive
of admiration Of the manly self-denial exhibited
in the proficiency of the original Busch Zouaves
The fifty dollars sent you, through me, was Of
fered, as have been the amounts recently sub
scribed for your company. to encourage you in
manly course and effort To insure no further
mistake, and TO disarm all future righteousness.
