VOORHEES, ON The TARIFF.
Extract from his speech in the L. 5. Senate,
Wednesday, Dec. ~ 1883.

Sir, We have been reminded by Sem
ators on the other side of the Cham Der
that the people rendered verdict
against tariff reform and in favor Of
high tariff protection in the recent
PRESIDENTIAL election. | do not admit
that Dir. Clsveland's defeat was due
to bis position on the tariff, nor that
man who is Endorsed by hundred
thousand majority of the popular vote
Of the United States is committed to
weak or failing cause. The result
IN November can easily be traced to
other Influences which may hereafter
tie PolHtei out and discussed PERHAPS
In the criminal courts of the country.
But suppose, for the sake Of the arsu
ment, that the cause of equality, ius-
lice, and emancipation from financial
oppression and servitude did suffer
defeat at the hands OF the arrogant,
associated and protected owners of
h!-Gotten millions, almost beyond the
power Of figures to estimate, what
conclusion is to be drawn from that
fact?
10 Senators on the opposite SIDE
cherish the delusion that the battl. is
over What great work Of reforma-
ton was ever finished by single
triumph or crushed BY single de-
feat? There were many verdicts rem
dered by the American people in favor
Of the existence OF slavery before they
rendered their final verdict for a con.
stitutiolal amendment abolishing it
forever. There were statesmen in
those days who after every election
gravely assumed that the slavery
question was settled, and would never
lie agltated again. But the Issue
would not down at even their power
full bidding, but continu ed to rise again
and again until not a vsstise Of that
awful source ofnational contention ana
and bloody strife remains beneath the
folds of the flag.
Sir, there was indeed an irrepressi-
bic conflict between the North and
South on the question Of slavery, but
there is at this hour smother conflict
equally irrepressible between the work.
ing millions on the one hand aud the
protected monopolists on the other. on
the question OF labors emancipation
from the bondage, vsssalage, the brutal
setS'tuds OF unnecessary. and conse,
qusntiy unjust and dishonest tsxation.
Senators may fold their arms in fame.
ed security against the further aSita.
ton Of the tariff, but their dreams 10
to that effect will be ruGely dispelIsd.
The contest for suvh a reformation Of

HINTS FOR 's9.-Crops will be good,
especially on those farms where the
owners apply plenty Of manure and
pillow and harrow we'll. The man will
succeed best who says to his men,
Come on" and not "go onl" The
farmer who tries hard, if he has a
good wife to help him, aud children to
lend a hand, will pay his transient
debts, if he have any, and taxes, and
iift part Of the mortgage,
The man who keeps bis grip and
never gets discouraged will be sure to
soccsed, even if he run behindhsnd
for awhile; but the man without pluck
will, nine time out Of ten, fail in life.
So We will all keep a tight hold and
never let go.
For 1899 the young man who de-
serves nice girl for a wife will be
sure to get her, and the girl who is
worthy Of good husband will get him
or be happy without. This is sure.
The man who feeds mouldy hay TO
his horses and has a musty barn and
dirty manger will be likely to have a
horse die Of choking, distemper or
some other disease; and the foul hog
pen, and nothing but corn fed to the
hogs, will bring on hog cholera as
likely as not.
The farmer who neglects to keep up
his Insurance, and let's his men smoke
in the barn, will have a fire ard pay
the loss himself.
The man who never makes love to
his wife will find burrows growing in
her face that never can be smoothed
out after she is dead. And the man
who loafs at the country store and the
tavern, in preference to being at home
with his family, does not know who
lie is nor what he is here for.-Farn
