GOOD OLD DEMOCRATIC TIMES

From the Congressional Record.
Joseph d. Taylor: II can remember
very we'll when I was boy that the
neighbors used to gather around my
fathers Preside anal talk about their
mortgages and debts. He did a good
deal of business, and it was a very COM
mon occurrence for them to come there
and talk about such matters. There
was more poverty among the people,
more property sold by the sheriff, more
suffering and want in those days than ]
have ever seen since. Eggs sold at
cents q dozen, oats at 125 cents q bushel,
corn at Is cents wheat 375 cents. and
vegetables would not sell at all.
"When I was boy We hauled wheat
to the canal, distance of thirty miles,
and sold our wheat at 371 cents per
bushel, and I remember the time when
there was absolutely no market at all
for wheat. know that my father had
very large crop of wheat, several hum
dred bushels, and was absolutely unable
to sell at any price, and many flrmera
let their wheat rot in the field It was
the same with apples and potatoes;
there was absolutely no market for
them. We had two large orchards on
my fathers farm, very good ones, too,
and I remember that at one time we
picked one hundred barrels of splendid
apples, the choicest that we could select,
and put them in new, clean barrels, but
we could not sell them anywhere, and
those apples rotted. think few of
them we're use for making vinegar"
A member: "Why didn't you eat
them" Laughter.
Another member: why didn't you
make cider of themr' Laughter.
Mr.. Taylor: "Thsre was no market
whatever for them. Do not talk to
me about mortgages and debts. In that
part Of the country at that time every
body was in debt. When q man went
to church on Sunday he often went in
his shirt sleeves. He and his wife would
ride the same horse and sometimes carry
one or two of the children. have no
sort Of patience with this talk about the
depression Of agriculture, as compared
with the times when he had a revenue
tariff. The farmers are having hard
time, and think they will have harder
time when wool is on the free list But
they are not having as hard a time as
they had thirty or forty years ago,
when the democratic party was in
power"

The mckinley Tariff Relieves Man
ufacturer and Laborer Alike.
william g. Steel, of New York, hal
addressed the letter given below to the
republican members OF the house OF
representatives. Mr.. Steel was the res-
ident partner in Bradford, England, in
charge of the worsted mill of the firm
of Edward T. Steel & Co., whose ma
chinery the Mckinley tariff bill caused
them to remove to the United States.
His familiarity both at home and abroad
with the operations of the Mckinley
law makes his letter of special interest:
'My attention." he says. ''has been
drawn to your report dissenting from
that of the majority Of your committee
which recommended the passage of the
bill known as the Springer free wool
BILL Being absent at the time 1 had
not previously seen or known of your
allusion to the operations Of my firm as
an illustration of your argument; but
as you have chosen these as an object
lesson feel at ibarty to communicate
with you in further e1emplifcation of
the subject.
'.Prior to the passage of the act
known as the tariff of $50 my firm was
largely engaged in handling American
made goods, principally in contracting
with mills for large lines of their prod
ucts, having paid to one establishment
alone over 100000 per annum for it's
fabrics. After the tariff of '83, which
reduced the duties on this class of
goods, we never made another contract
with an American mill, and after six
months from that time never bought
another piece of American made goods.
The passage of that act notified US Of
the coming destruction of our principal
business, which we had built by life
time of exertion (1S57 to 1889. Hav-
ing been for many years importers, we
knew values abroad, and rather than see
the whole of our business that had value
swept into the hands of foreign houses,
1 went to England before the 'S3 tariff
took effect and arranged to supply
from there the class of goods we had
been getting from the American mills.
This I carried on successfully up to
the time the act of go, known as the
Mckinley bill, restoring the duties, went
into operation. Since then We have not
half yard of this class of goods from
abroad, except very few pieces from
previous contracts untitled at that date.
The goods are now made here. The
law again destroyed our business and
in order to keep in trade that our lives
have been devoted to, my firm was COM
PEELED to establish here works to repro
duce the goods I had been getting made
in England. The result is what the cir
cular you allude to asserts. We are
now making in the United States better
goods and at lower prices than under
the act of '83 we could afford to sell i'm
ported goods for"

KNOW WHO PAYS
THE DUTY.

From the American Economist
That every duty levied on an import
ed article is added to the price paid fol
that article by the American consume,
is one of those absurd free trade propo.
sitions religiously believed by every
orthodox Performer" And yet nothing
is more untrue. as can readily be seen
by consulting the opinion of any foreign
manufacturer producing for export a
commodity on which the United States
levies protecting duty. Evidently, il
the burden OF the duty falls entirely
upon the domestic consumer, the foreign
manufacturer, aside from any philan-
thropic interest he may feel in the tax
ridden people of this country, will not
care button whether we have q tariff
here or not. But, strange to say, he
does care-cares SO much, in fact, that
he is willing to contribute any reason
able amount in order to secure the sue
cess of the party committed to his in
terests. And the reason is not far to
seek. As the Manchester England }
Courier puts it, speaking of tn. pro-
tective tariffs adopted during the Last
few years by the United States, France
and other countries:
1--WE were still able to do q large
trade in spite of them the duties). Yes,
by sacrificing price in proportion to the
increases of the tariffs.
british labor has to pay for the use
of every foreign market it inva6es, and
to contribute to the revenue of every
foreign state which is its customer, az
we'll as to maintain its own"
Now, then, here we have plain un-
equivocal statement from a great Eng
lish journal that the British must them
selves pay the duties for the sake of
entering our market. What the Cob
denites will say after this confession
from their own friends, we do not know.
Probably, with those slippery methods
characteristic of them, they will now
turn about and say that it is wrong, 'in
conflict with the split Of the age" etc.,
to make the poor foreigners do this.
Their sympathy will naturally be with
those across the sea. Upon the Ameri-
can workingman, asking NO odds OF
anyone, but only seeking an opportu-
nifty to earn an honest livelihood in an
honest way, and protesting against
having his wages reduced by open COM
petition with others who care nothing
for this government and do not con-
tribute to its support, they do not even
waste Q thought.

abuse Of power; and that tho doctrine
lately boldly preached in tho United
States senate, that ITO the sictors b.
long the spoils Of the vanquishsd," i
detrimental to the interests, corruptina
to the morals, and dangerous to the lib
critics Of the country.
Now, can you tell US where those res.
olutions were passed, and by what
party? OF course you can. You will
say at once everybody will say, repub-
iicans, democrats. peoples party and
prohibitionists- they are the reso-
lutions of republican convention.
Pretty good republican doctrine, is it
not? Republicans will endorse it, but
democrats, peoples party and prohibi.
tionists will denouuce it as the same
old doctrine of enriching the few at the
expense of the many, as e1empli6ed in
the Mckinley tariff.
Well, you have all guessed wrong.
That is the first party platform ever
adopted in the United States, and Gen.
eral jackson ran on it for president in
1882. Before that time there were no
national conventions to nominate candi-
dates for president; but candidates
were brought out OF recommended by
state legislatures. But on the 22d Of
March, 1882, the democratic party held
the first national convention at Baltimore,
nominating Andrew Jackson for presi
dent and Martin VanBuren for vice
president. The convention adopted no
resolutions; but the democratic MEM
bers OF congress and other party leaders
held ratification meeting at Washing
ton City on the first of May and adopt
ed the above resolutions as the party
platform. After that. the framing of q
platform was one of the duties of every
national convention.
The last of the above resolutions was
aimed at a declaration made by William
L. Marcy that ''to the victors belong
the spoils." Marcy was afterwards, for
many years, one of the leaders of the
democratic party. He was secretary OF
war under President Polk and secretary
of state under President Pierce.
When the democratic convention OF
1892 reafirmed it's allegiance to the
principles of the party as formulated by
Jefferson and eAemplifed by the long
and llustrious line of his successors in
democratic leadership. from Madison to
Cleveland, it was in utter ignorance OF
the above good republican platform,
upon which Andrew Jackson was elect
ed to his second term as president.
