pr vent trial.
Some Democrats yet hold to the &c rev.
eaue plank. The speaker referred TO the
wing of Democrats wanting free trade, no
custom houses and no revenue Some
wanted food products taxed. but the prac-
tice arrived at was to so levy a tax TO fall
on the rich and not on the poor. Exclude
food products as much as possible, and let
the tax fall on the articles used by the
rich. The operations of the tariff
were clearly outlined, and the
result of diversity of industry and the ele-
walton Of American labor. The senator
said he had sought to have his way about
the tariff and it was no part of
courageous man to do what his constitu-
ents wanted. No man could expect to
have his way all the time. No state could
expect TO have its way all the time. But
he wanted the late tariff sent back to the
conference committee, hoping for an i'm
provement for the west as it had already
been greatly improved. He stood like
Senator Sherman, he stood for protection,
but not for one penny for monopoly. At
ter April next the sugar reduction
amounted TO 81 20 per head per year and
much cheaper than the Mills bill Duty
on lumber less than one-half that in Mills
bill. More than all this the recognition Of
the principle of reciprocity as presented by
Blaine This was greeted with
wild cheers. No bitter without sweet: no
conflict where all were victors. He had
got part of what he went after and posi-
bly, might live to fight in the battle another
day
Referring to some other parties the sem
ator said that in the future as in the past
the legislation would be done by the Re
publicans or Democrats No man could
spring up new one. Anew party always
attacked the Republican party. The boy
stealing apples always went to the tree
! having the most clubs in it, The Repub-
! lican party had many clubs about it. The
! Republican party had always been doing
something. II had maintained that the
majority should rule, and did not favor
! filibustering. This was the cause of a
tremendous cheer. The Republican party
! had always been doing something. There
was nothing in the career of the Democratic
party, recent or remote to show that it
would be benefit to the people. The
/ Republican party had not cheated in
elections IL had gained no power by
/
conscience of the people. The Republican
party had probably made a mistake in
allowing one man down south to have five
/ times the power of a man in Kanas The
party in this had probably erred but
/ had done so in an attempt of fairness.
| The use of party was to reflect the will
/ of the people on the average, not in the
extreme. Legislate after discussion and
/ after finding out the best average. No
meetings held in the southern states or
newspaper discussion. There was no jury
and no doubt of the result. The public
! there have no means for gaining infOrma-
| ton from discussion. The senator said
/ in the face of the circumstances the Re
| publican party was going TO try to have
| fair play and fair elections The Demo
cratic party should not 20 into power
except honestly.
! Every man had right to have party
of his own or with his neighbors, but he
would never outside of the Old parties get
voice in the legislation. The people
forming the new party have been ridicul-
ing the great men of the country. Abus-
ing Lincoln and the great men of the
country held up for Tidicuie. Com
planning of things done during the war re-
minded him of the boy who left his play
aud came in crying, saying he did not
have half enough to eat all last year"
Things done thirty years ago in the face Of
emergencies, and no man should insist
that any mistakes had been made Went
straight at the throat of the REBELLION not
trhing with the things of peace. Now
let some one galvanize the mistakes for a
pet theory TO organize party.
To help some people out of trouble the
government to loan money at l per cent.
Any man who thought of this plan de
frauded his farm of his work. II the gov
eminent loaned one man it must loaned
TO all. The majority did not want to bor-
row and the minority would be sitting
around on the streets waiting for it 10
come There would be scramble To get
the Office of distributing agent. Would the
spectacle of the government selling farm
under mort gaze be better than when sold
by the sheriff. Any man knew that all
good things come with labor. For the
government TO lend money to the people
would be TO beggar the government nd
the people. Not a sensible man
would be willing to be tried for
sanity on the point. The senator SAID
he did not blame any one but the fellows
who started the scheme The fellows
Cett NJ the collections We're the ones who
were having the picnic. This created con-
siderable merriment
The senator said extremes followed each
other and a fellow Cultivating the blues
should halt and not loose his reason. He
had been in Kansas a third of a century
and had seen men come to Kansas and 20
away Kansas had stuck by the men who
stuck by her The country on the eve Of
better things and every individual do his
part No man, think his fortune is TO
he made by the government leaving him
money.
There was one other thing that disturbed
him and that was that the intelligent
farmers would form SO close an alliance
with the organization of that name from
the south In Iowa the senator had form
Ell a northern Alliance and no ticket but
endorsing the best men, usually Bepubli
cans. In Alabama the Democrats and
Alliance were one and the same It would
not do to disturb the politics down there.
In Georgia the Alliance had notified the
darkies if they attempted 70 vote there
would be blood shed. Any man who be-
lieves in fair play could not believe in il.
What kind Of a bob would Kansas be on
the tail Of Georgia kite2 Would the /
Kansas Alliance be in better company in /
the south than with Iowa, Illinois and /
the north.
Coming down 70 Wichita the speaker /.
said the south needed business men. Half /
the men Of Wichita would make a great |
city OF Galveston or Norfork Good peo- I
pie. but preiudiced: slow and not business |
