H~AaniNGToI, May .0.-The tariff discus
sion was closed by Speaker Carlisle.
Mi. Carlisle began by replying to Mr.. Reeds
charge of inSincerity. lie said he might re-
lori that II protection WAS @ sound doctrine IT
sEaula he carried To its logical conclusion, to-
tally productive duties. He went on to cav
tliat all ~;axation was evil and that cndcayor
should be made to make trade as free as POS.
siblc, With til. lowest tax that would afford
the necessary revenues.
Mi. Carlisle said Mr. Reed had made NO
reference 20 the actual ~situstton which made
i. i:npc.a,iyeiy necessary to reduce t..e rcve-
me. On tue LIST OF this month there were
Sl35 n1i, Coo in the treasury more than was
required 10 meet all The government liabili-
ties. VI WIS a sum larger than the total cs-
pcnaitures during The first two years OF the
country's life. 1t had been taken when
sorely nec''cd by the people aud without JUS
'iiration. Tie effect Of this acc~ursulation
was to encourage useless aud extruy-
giant expenditures without consti-
tntional warrant. The people al
most To u man were demand
ii:g It's re'nrn to them. SO long as this policy
"as cafit;iiicd burgess and bounty for purely
private purposes would bc demanded. Brief
mention Vas made by the speaker of the pub.
IL deb: ai:i the buying of bonds by the gov
oFaiacnt. whereby In one mouth the secretary
had pail :}.536.OtW above the principal an l
accrued interest on u .0Go,Uuv bonds which
IL li..a purchased. The speaker said this un-
iist process must 60 on indefinitely unless
cergrcss ua!ne to The relief au, reduced taxa
tier.
"Tayat:on," lc said, "shoull be distributed
si.enrs all of the people according to their
ahiii'y 10 pay. Until that was Gone VIC should
al%nys BE- embarrassed In the effort to in
crease Oh reduce taxes. III the present meas
i!re should fail, and disaster come upon our
Industries lH reason OF overtuxation, th
,resc., vicious system would be responsible
for IT,
MI. Cailisle spoke of the increase of manu-
'%ac.,ics during tie so-callrd Stree trade
lcriod" b".wccn 1850 ana 1860, and said that
'i:e people were Il, favor ot legislation that
saa!i b iig it about again. lie went Oh to
s.y that tru.ts n I'd hard times were the out.
-.o".'' Q! tic high tariff system.
Continuing, MIR. Carlisle said: s'In view Of
ilia fact that internal revenue taxes remain
only on l%uNuvies, it is fair that that any
further reduction Of taxation should be made
upon necessities, but recognizing the diff
feiencrs of opinion upon that subject the
committee had dealt with both subjects. He
would have hesitated to vote for the bill if he
lieiicy.d that it would benefit all of them.,
Gl1o'ing John Sherman he read that the
line had cone when the pledge implied by
The passage Of The net of 1864 should be re-
deemed. Labor did not fear competition with
DE- auPcr lator of Europe, but did fear the
creation OF cur laws.
The bone market, he said is improving and
has been improving anil will continue 10 i'm
prove under any system Of taxation, along
with The increase Of population, wealth and
improved facilities for production and dis.
irritation in this country. In place Of
s~t.ict;us his uiaskct he wanted 1t enlarp.
that his product which canno.
be cons..nnd bee can aud a
market ai.ong people elsewhere. What the
American farmer want is a home market in
";llcsi h. cali purchase his supplies as cheap
as his competitors. When he connot get this.
then iu asks That there may be such a system
IS will enable him ia purchase elsewhere and
i:n!or. them without being unreasonable fined
for carry ing on this harmless business. We
wani j.ot only home markets Int the markets
81 all the word for The variety of the prod.
'lets of this great country. We wan; to re.
move, as far as We can, the barriers which
annoy our industries, so that this country
may take its place with the great commercial
countries of tie world aud become rich aud
powerful as mother country has before. !
Mi. Carlisle thanked the committee for the
attention with which II had heard him and
explained that he had undertaken to speak J
'ia.icr considc able difficulties. 1t was gen.
orally reported that he WAS far from well and
he appeared to be much fatigued at the close
II lis speech.
