Extract From one of the most Brilliant
Tariff Speaches Ever Delieverd.
Perhaps there is no other political ora
tori in the west, whom the people so much
/ love to here as the young and brilliant
jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa. Polished,
witty and eloquent, his speeches go
straight to the syrnpathies of the people
who hear and read them and are maxi
ing for him national reputation as
we'll as doing effective work for the Re-
publican cause. One of the best that he
ever delivered was made in the lower
house of congress in March and one of
the most eloquent portions goes as fol-
.Ilows:
hold In my hand clipping from the
! Boston Herald Of February IS, which 1
cut out the other day an inadvertent
/ editorial admission called out by the
exigencies of the silver question, which
says that the undeniable tendency of the
times IS toward a steady decrease in
the value of the products of labor with
a steady advance in the value of labor
itself,''
That is the most conspicuous fact in
our industrial situation, and constitutes
the miracle of our national progress.
which in thirty years has repaired the
waste of civil war, restored the losses of
a disorderd currency, and so multiplied
the national wealth that the luxuries of
yesterday are the necessities of today,
and the comforts of life are brought with
in easy reach of a greater number of peo-
pie than ever before enjoyed them in the
history of the human race.
But what chance does great fact like
that stand with my friend from Tennes-
see who opened this debate, or with my
friend from Indiana, who cherishes with
apparent aIlectlon newspaper para
graph predicting an exceptional and
easily explainable strike in the iron re-
gions2 Absolutely none. Coming into
this House, it is kicked and stripped and
beaten and left for dead, to the apparent
satisfaction and glee of the entire Demo-
cratic party. Or what chance does a fact
like that stand with my young friend
from Nebraska, who the other day took
one Of his young farmer constituents
down from the cannibal tree long enough
to use him for the purpose of pointing
the moral and adorning that tale Of the
'.plundered homestead or s'tlle adven-
lures of a young married couple" You
remember that he represents a young man
in the act of selecting ''a young woman
who is willing to trust her future to his
strong right arm," and beginning to
build home, which is the unit of So
ciety.
The picture represents that he is robbed
by the tariff on lumber, on paint, on
furniture, on carpets, on tablecloths,
con knives, forks, and dishes, on spoons,
on everything that enters into the con-
struction and operation Of that home.'
And to make the picture all the more
pathetic and absolutely hopeless, the ar
tist gives the unhappy couple no sign of
defense except the lung capacity of the
Democratic party yelling at the top of
its voice, GLANDS off," (Great laughter.)
Now, without stopping to point out
that the actual price of every article that
enters into the construction and opera
ton of that homeo has been reduced In
price by the Republican policy of max
ing them in the United States instead Of
buying themin Europe, I want to ask my
friend, or any other man in this House,
to name to me country in the Old World
where a young man without money can
slip his strong right arm around a girl
without means and take her into home
of their own or give her even the pros
pect of home, which is the unit of So
ciety2 applause on the Republican
side.
/ have talked to hundreds Of people
from Ireland, from Scotland. from Den
mark, from Germany, from the. noun
tains of Norway and Sweden, and they
all tell me that a day work in the Uni
. ted States goes further than anywhere
else IN the world towards putting a roof
over the head of a family, paint on a
cottage, music in the parlor, newspapers
on the stand, carpets on the floor, dishes
on the table,. something to eat in the
dishes, and the divine light of love and
ioyr in thas sweet faces of wifa and child
