HILL ON THE TARIFF.
New Hork's Noted senator Makee
Common. sense speech.

sommon-sense speech.
PoRr JARVIS, n. Y, Nov. 2.-Senator
Hill spoke in the opera house here this
afternoon. Representative democrats
were present from the surrounding coun.
try. Senator Hill in part spoke m follows: !:
The question OF federal taxation 10 the
dominant issue OF this campaign. Tho
power TO levy taxes 10 despotic, but . nec-
essary power In every well-organiEed aov-
eminent. The democratic party believes
In strict construction OF the federal con-
stitution. The republican party believes
In loose construction of that instruments
The republicans are willing to confer
every possible power upon the govern
ment; the democrats are for combining the
government TO strict constitutional limits.
Republicans say taxes should be levied for
necessary expenses of tho government.
There we agrcc with them. We
believe in tariff for revenue
with incidental protection. Tariffs
which create unnecessary revenue
are unconstitutional. admit that tho
first congress enacted n revenue bill with
n protection preamble. Congress was CO.
creed into the passage of the bill by the
opportunities of selfish Pennsylvania.
The succeeding congress recognizing the
danger of precedent. and 10 guard against
future violations of the constitution Of
the same nature. enacted an amendment
providing that all powers not expressly
granted to tho general government arc re-
served to the states. All tariff bills passed
since that time were passed as revenue
bills without tho recital Of protective in
tent. Let the republicans he candid and
throw OF all disguise and pass bill solely
and expressly for protection.
"The cry for protection is q growing evil.
Until recently IL was always deemed n
temporary necessity to encourage infant
industries. Now is the time for this tn
cease. In all my travels have not found
a man whose wages have been increased
by tho Mckinley bill. I challenge our
republican friends to show single manu-
facturcd article Oh which duty enough
was not left by the Mills bill TO represent
the difference between American and for
eign labor"
The senator read the free list Of tho
Mckinley bill and argued that the placing
on the free list Of the articles mentioned
did not benefit the masses. The tariff on
farm products is n mockery. The demo
crats propose not free trade, hut moder-
ate tariff revision. Hill made also brief
allusion to the force bill.

tlmony wss that the cars be WAS trying
