l'l:hy Extracts From the Tariff S.erch of
North Dakota Representative

= ss"S w WV A~sSA -"''> W.
North Dakota's Representative.
The House of Representatives. being in
Con nittae of the whole, on thu State OF
the Union. and having under considera-
ton the bill III. RI 1851 to reduce taxa
tion. to provide revonne for tho Govern
ment. and for other purposea-Mr. John
aon. of North Dakota. arose and said:
Me. CH.1RMAN The position of the
Republican party on the tariff question
il very plainly and coucisely stated in our
last national platform in this following
words:
I'VE believe that all articles that can
not be produced in the United States, ex-
cept luxurias. should he admitted free of
duty. and that on all imports coming in
to comnetition with the products Of Amer
jean labor there should be levied duties
equal to the difference between wages
abroad and homo.
Tha. is the Republican doctrine.
and that doctrine we have
crystallized into law. az nearly az words
and human Judgment could do it. in the
present law known ns the Mckinley tariff
of 1890. .
We say to every man in every corner of
the world WHO has anything to sell which
the American people wish to buy. and
which we do not or can not ourselves pro-
duce in great abundance, come and well
come. Bring your wares with you free of
duty or lot or h%indranceot any kind, and
sch them to our people just rs cheap as
you can and just as much ss you like.
In 1892 we imported from foreign
countries 81. 100000 worth of goods.
and more than half (55 per cent) of those
enormous imports we're of this class. and
came in absolutely free Of duty under the
present law.
On this principle we have placed upon
the free list nil such things as coffee. tea.
pepper, nutmegs. GLOVES, cinnamon. rub
Der and all Tropical fruits, Such things
canno possibly grow in our climate. A
taraff on them would be a tariff for rev.
enue only, which we republicans do not
believe in. because that kind of tariff is q
tax added to the price Of the article and
paid by the consumer.
The Republican party does not believe
in a tariff of that kind. and 70 We have
abolished it entirely. There is another
class of goods which, although produced
in this country to a limited extent. tho
supply ia 80. limited extent, tho supply is
40 limitsd that the home competition does
not regulate the price. If there were a
atarif on such articles it would be a tax
paid by the consumer, and go we have
abolished it by placing such things az gu
gar, binding Irvine fter, beeswa1, turpen-
tine, whalebone, ivory, raw silk, etc., also
on the free list.
But when II com to that large class of
articles which are or can be produced IN
this country in snch overwhelming abun
dance that the home competition regulates
tho price, then We impose a duty on the
foreign co mpetitor if he seeks to crowd
upon our market an article the like Of
which 10 have in plenty at home and
therefore do not need 60 ship in II om

ROACH AND CALAMITY.

On tho goth day Of February, 1895. the
unexpected happened in small new State
remote from this Capital. On that Gay
". N. Roach. the Democratic caucus nom
inee, was elected Senator from North Oak
ota. giving the Democratic party Il clear
majority in the Senate. That was twelve
days before Cleveland was lnaugurated.
That was the exact date and hour when the
pane of 1893 had it's birth. Right there our
hard times began.
When tho historian of tho futuce traces
the unutterable sadness and ruin aud mis-
cry OF these Cleveland hard times to there
source and fountain hs will stop right
there with that fateful 30 tn OF February
Gradually tho truth began to dawn upon
mems minds that at last the Democratic
party was in undisputed control Of every
department. of the Government.
Gradually msn began to reason and
reflect upon thu probable consequences of
such control.
Little by little. with ont rcgard to party
unconscicus of political bias, business men
became cautious. Tie gold reserve i'll the
Treasury dwindlcd soon after March 4 be-
low thd @1Oo, 100000 mark. imports fell
off. Depositcrs began to with draw their
savings from the banks. Banks were afraid
to make new loans and anxious to collect
old ones.
These movements were slow and almost
i'm perceptible as first. like the starting of
an avalanche. Men said little to each other
and thought much to themselves. Each
tried to prepare for the storm which he
