Judge Thurman enjoyed the trip greatly
and seemed not st al inc0avenlenced ey the
storm. After the smooth water ia tie
canal sBd ST. Clair River was reached he
entered into lively conversation with s0ch
members OF the party as had survived the
terriers OF the deep" giving and gaining
information regarding tbs effect Of the
tariff on American labor and industries.
While the Judge sat and talked the matter
over seriously. Allen %. Myers. al frequent
intervals interpolsted iudicrous but pointed
remarks To ellnch the remarks of Judge
Thurman.
Passing Marine City the party received q
neat midnight reception, although no stop
was made. Chinese lanterns had been
tsstefully hung along the dock. red. white
and blue lights were burned. = small cannon
spoke welcome, and steam whistles and
human voiots added 20 the volume of the
greeting. The electric lights OF the Oakland
House were q welcome sight to The party
who had been confined to the little yacht
for over twelve hours, and the reception on
land was fine one. Rockets and Roman
candles shooting in every direction In front
of the Dig hotel building gave glowing
and resounding welcome. The guests OF
the hotel, who are msny, joined 10 shout
ing the pet cries being: WHATS the matter
with Thurman" and the response, Hes
all right" With the hearty cheers re-
sounding in their ears all retired 10 bed
early-in the morning.
PoRr HUEoS, Aug. 23--The run of the
Thurman party from the oakland house
was uneventful. On arriving at Port
Huron Thurman was enthusiastically
welcomed by a great crowd, and NJ once
escorted 10 the park WHARF speeches were
made. Judge Thurman spoke At consider
able length on the tariff question, his re-
marks being punctur ID with applause.
Judge Thurman, in opening, referred
briefly to his reception since leaving Colum-
bus, but went quickly to the consideration
of the tariff issue. The tariff. he said. is a
tax paid Dy the consumer. The dutlsble
imports of the year 1857 were $3.50, 325. .322.
The duties collected on these goods were
$2l2. .032. 424 The product. OF domestic
manufactures In 1880 was s.. 1863, ,579, 1876.
Sub equently the entire sum OF tariff duties
last year Was paid by the Ameri
can consumer. The import duties wer e
paid in the first instance not by the foreign
manufacturers but by the American i'm
porter, and added to the cost when sold to
the middle man, or retailer, aud by him
charged up to the consumer, who in tas
end paid the duty. The issue of . high
pre- Ctsctive tariff is false pretense. 1t does
not raise prices. hut our large area of un-
cultivated territory and our liberal land
system greatly relieve the American labor
er from that dependence on manufacturing
establishments that prevail 10 less favored
countries.
