nual message. The Democratic party.
he said, had always maintained, and still
held, that the only proper motive of taxa.
ton was to provide the necessary revenue
for the wants Of the government, and that
every man was bound 10 contribute his
lust share. Taxation for any other pur.
pose was unjust and indefensibe. The
Democratic party was In favor Of the reyi.
sion and reduction OF the tariff, and would
carry it out unless thwarted in its purpose
by combination Of Democrats, ac,uated
by local interests, with Republicans who
favored high rates. The Republican party,
judging by the statements of its leaders
and of its press, would oppose any propo-
sition Of reduction, and II il could reduce
the surplus by large and Unnecessary APP
preparations Il would do 80. lie thought
he stated the views oil the two par
ties throughout the country fairly when
he said the Democrats fnyored the tariff,
in the interest of the people and that the
Republicans favored II in the interest of
protection. There might be few Demo-
Gratis who were protcctonists. How any,
body could assert that the President or the
Democratic party was in favor OF free trade
was beyond his comprehension. Such
statements, however, had been recklessly
made in the Senate with full knowledge
on the part OF those who made them that
there was nothing in the history Of the
Democratic party, past " present. that
justified them. The Democratic party was
not in favor Of free trade, but il was ear
nestly in favor OF reducing tariff rates 10
that no greater taxation would I've imposed
on the people than was Necessary 20 meet
the just demands OF the government. lie
declared himself opposed to the repeal OF
the internal revenue system. lie was In
favor OF retaining tho taxes on whisky,
beer and tobacco, in order 10 relieve from
taxation everything essential 10 the COM
fort and happiness Of the people, but he
would vote for any measure that would
obyiate the Objectionable methods OF the
collection Of those taxes.
At the close OF Mr.. Saukbury's remarks
Mr.. Riddleberger offered resolution that
the rules providing for executive sessions
be suspended during the consideration OF
the fisheries treaty, and asked unanimous
consent for its immediate consideration.
Mr.: Cockrell objected, and the resolu-
ton lies over.

The Senate then proceeded 10 the con-

They are Preparing to Celebrate AdmIs-
sion Day.
The Veteran Fircmen's Association of
California, an organization recently formed
in San Francisco, is preparing to visit
Sacramento and partske with the Pioneers
and Native Sons of the Golden West in the
celebration of Admission Day, September
9th next.
The Secretary of the Exempt Firemens g
Association of this city is in receipt of a
communication from General Passenger
and Ticket Agent, D. B. Jackson, of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, who is
Chairman of the Veteran Firemens Execu-
tive Committee, stating that the new asso-
citation contemplates a visit to this city on
Admission Day, and asking if the Sacra-
mento association will receive their San
Francisco brethren and provide storage for
their engine which will accompany them.
Mr.. Jackson goes on to state that his COM
mittee is about to make arrangements for
the transportation of the association and
its equipments, and perfect other arrange
ments for the excursion.
The Veteran Firemen of California are
not distinctively San Francisco organiza-
ton. The society was formed chiefly for
the purpose of some time in the future re-
turning the visit of the New York firemen,
whose junketing tour across the continent
last fall was one of the events of Califor-
MAS history last year. There are several
Sacramento members of the association,
and the rolls are open TO all exempt fire.
men in California.
Many old Sacramentans will be pleased
to see again the engine which the new asso-
citation carries with it. 1t is one of the
largest old-tashioned double-decker hand
engines on the coast, and was originally
the machine" of our own Sacramento Com
pany, The Young America, No g. of the
Volunteer Department, whose engine house
on Tenth street, opposite the Plaza, is still
one of the fire department buildings.
The Vets" secured old No. 6 from an up
country district, where she was still in ser
vice, and have had the machine put in
frst-rate trim. Drawn by a rope by q
hundred old volunteers the engine must
form an interesting and conspicuous TEA
ture in California parade.
Mr.. Jackson's letter will be considered al
the next meeting of the Exempts, Monday
evening.
