Leans on the Tariff Issue.


licans on the Tariff Issue.
NEW York, Oct. 31.-Four thousand peo-
pie crushed themselves into Cooper Union
tonight TO listen 20 speeches by Senator
John Carlisle OF Kentucky, and Wendell G.
Warner Of Cattarsugas county, upon the
tariff. The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the reform club. On the piat-
form we're a number OF the leaders of the
''anti-snspper" movement, as we'll as some
OF the representatives OF Tammany Hall.
Z. EllerY Anderson presided.
Senator. Carlisle said the Fifty-first con-
eress during the two years OF its existencs
appropriated out OF the treasury more than
81 ,o35. 100000. Every dollar OF that SUN, he
eald, had to be paid by the taxpayers
and every dollar must have been
produced by the labor OF the country.
Ii there were nothing more involved In the
campaign than the question of expenditure
IL would be the duty OF every eiectOr 20 put
the seal of condemnation upon the policy OF
the Republican party, for the avowed pur-
pose Of that party was 70 discriminate and
to secure TO some benefits at the expense Of
all
The Democratic party dId not propose 20
do this, but merely to raise revenue from
taxation which the expenses OF the govern
ment made IL necessary TO impose. The
Democratic party had not, however, de-
clared for FREQ trade. 1t had simply de-
clared for the constitutional system of taxa
tion in which the revenue was to be raised
for the support of the government without
depressing the people, and without compel
ling one man TO part with his earnings for
the benefit Of another.
AN ARBITRARY POWER.
To tax is the most arbitrary and daspotio
power that any government can possess. If
there is no limit of the scope OF this power.
il follows that the people will hold their
earnings and all their property at the mercy
aud viii or congress-. lt is impossible to
imagine more disastrous or un-American
doctrine than this. If this power exists, by
whatever name il may be known, it is des-
potism. Instead of relying upon the patriot
ism Of the people, as it claims TO do, the Re-
publican party appeals to their selfish
ness and their preludices. The Nc
Kinley hill was psased for the pur-
pose of getting contributions for the
it IS professed, was passed In the interest Of
the laboring men. Every lsborinR man
knows that while 10 mas Increased his ex-
Uenditures, 10 has not Increased his wages
Mai. Mckinley says the effect of the bill
has been TO establish two infant Industries,
the pearl button industry and the manu-
facture OF tin plate. the figures that he
gives in support of this Claim shows that
there have been s., ,445 600 more paid ont TO
workmen than the total output Of the tin
plate industry. daughter. would like
to know how long that new industry can
continue to live. At that rate all manu-
facturers should be abls TO board their
workmeu at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
[Laughter.7 Mr.. Carlisle appealed TO them
in conclusion 60 vote the democratic ticket
from TO to bottom. [Applsuse. They
should support the man who belied that
public Office was public trust, n man who
will not prostitute the powers of high
Office for mere partisan purposes, but who
would labor always for ths best Interests OF
tins oommon people. [Caeers
