every dtor was.aJaro knot of gpt c
tatora peering tivcr shoulders ; and
under rms tP get. n glance at the
floor upon which Ihe long -debate on
the tariff bill was to be closed by Mr.
Reed, of Maiue, and ptaker ('arlisle.
The buzz of, expectancy and the hum
of conversation wer tilled for a
moment while; t;io chaplain ollered
pravea:, only to brea oxk, atresh ween
'he clerk proceeded to read the jour
nal. AVhen the reading of that dreary
document had bien completed t-he
House went into committee of the
whole (Ir.'' Springer, of Illinois, in
the cnair) on the tariff' bill. 4
Mr. Baker, of Illinois, was the .first
recognized. He said that yest?rday
at a moment when he was out of the
hall, words were spoken by the gen
tleman from Kentucky (Mr. Brecken
ridge) reflecting on his honor, reflect
ing upon the honor of ; his constitu
ent. He then sent to .the clerk's dtfsk
and had . read the remarks of Mr.
Bfeckenridge, reflecting' upen the
manner in which the defeat of W. R,
Morrison in the 18th Illinois district
had been, accomplished. Here is,
continued Mr. Baker, a direct, out
rageous attack on mjs honor and the
honor of the district I represent on
this floor. In my own name and the
name of the entire 18th Congressional
district of Illinois, which he bris dared
to defame, ! hurl the words back to
,the gentleman from Kentucky and
denounce their imputation as grossly
tkitrae. 1 hurl ta words back into
his lace with absolute and
unmitigated 3efia'nce. -(Applause).
To use an expressive but
not very elegaat figur of speech, ho
gentleman from Kentu-eky shall swing
his black snake whip over my shoul
ders and over the shoulders of mr
constitutenta with impunity- He
would at least incur the risk of hav
ing it wrenched from his hand and
feeling the, hot end of it mayhap.
(Applause and laughter). If there be
a distinction in the adjective Ken
tuckian then I am a Kentuckian. I
first saw the light of day hard by the
shades of 'Ashland, the home of that
important Kentuckian Henrj Clay,
unswervinc as adamant in his great
heart of patriotism, great in all his
proportions, as eloquent a mortal as
ever was irf pleading the
mighty cause of his country
and his whole country, and 'whose
old time seat of. peerless honor and
glory in this hall is now alas, worse
than empty- (Applause and laugh
ter, j.
That seat is filled fey the gentle
man whose8peeches are garlands of
flowers without leaves or fruit, totally
unsuited to affairs and well adapted
to a lady 'a boudoir. (Laughter) But
for their habitual touches of some
thing approaching domineering arro
gance the words of the gentleman
from Kentudky challenge comparison
between his district and mine. The
Congressional Directory shows that
30,839 votes were cast for Congress
in my district while in his but 1,791
were cast, (applause) about one-
eighth of the voting population and
all voting on one side. Whatever tho
reason of this curious arrangement
may have been the gentleman from
Kentuc&y represents one sixth of
the votes I represent. It will
be seen1 that the gentleman
does not occupy ground that makes
it prudent for him to indulge in reck
less damnatory statements reviling
the honor of an election in another
State of which he actually knows
nothing, even if the law of fair and
honest and manly dealing was not'
sufficient to restrain him The bot

istn district oi xuinoiB ib mat mar
district Was released from the .
entanglements of one of the most
wretched is lumps that could be found
anywhere in the United States. (Ap
plause on the Republican side.) As
an illustration of this fact Mr. J3aker
sent to the clerk's desk and
had, readl a resolution adopted by
UmT citizens of JSast St. Louis
without regard to party, thanking
him for having rescued the district
from the?polilicai debauchery wh'ich
had so long attached to it. He -then
continued: !I say the truth when I
say that the change wrought in this
city of East St. Louis was aim lar
though oh a much smaller scale to
that wrought in the great city of New
York when .Tweed and his methods
were torn up by the roots.
The gentleman from Kentucky im
pugns the integrity of tn election.
He impugns the character of my con
Btituenta, this mass of honest farm
ers, workingmen and business men
who brought me.to.ths place on
their honest shields as the result of
as fair a political victory as ever took
place within the limits of the United
States. I, whoso election is impugned
by a solitary voice here, that of the
gentleman from Kentucky and not by
a memorial signed by thousands of
Kentucky voters, in thir high, pres
tucs in the presence of the whole

'Lay on, McDuff, and damned be he
who first o.ies hold, enough!'" (Loud
aonlause and laughter, which was re
newed whert a large bouquet of red
roses was laid upon Mr. Baker's desk).

with j one. accord adopt " not

islation as would treble the spindles
of Eu?opo and destroy our own, such
measures as would put out our fur
naces nd illumine those beyond the
sea. f Protection wjs either
in its: essence a benefit or a curse.
Incidental protection was a snam.
"A tar ff for revenue only" went down
before the same argument which was
used against protection: He
declared that America was richer than
Europe and we meant to keep the
wealth here. We meant to doit even
if we ?built a Chinese wall of tariff
taxes ground this country, lie ridi
culed J talk of "monopoly" and
"trusts," which he called idiotic rav
ing arjd pestiferous rant, and illustra
ted what would happen to those who
reached out for the markets of tho
world-Joy quoting Esop'a fable of the
dog passing over a bridge with a
bjne m his mouth and saw his own
reHectsion in the water and lot go his
own bone to leap for that of the re
flected dog and so had none and was
wet besides. Mr. Iieoti
completed his speech amid great ap
plause. .
Jusi before two o'clock Speaker
Carlisle took the floor, and as he was
rec'ogfiized there was an outbreak of
handolappiug and cheering from the
floor . and -the galleries. Ho began by
replying to Mr. Reed's charge of in
sincerely. He said that he might re
tort that if protection was sound doc
trine t should bo carried -to its logi
cal conclusion- totally prohibitive du
ties. 1 In China the doctrine carried
out produced its logical effect. With
everyiresQurce of natural wealth fcud
a frugal, industrious people, the arts
and Manufactures were in their in
fancy. We wanted no China here.
All taxation was aa evil and
we should endeavor to make
trade-: 'as free j as possible,
with the lowest tax that would afford
tho hecessary revenue- . Mr. Reed
hao riiado no reference to the ac'ual
situation, which made it imperatively
neceseacy to reduce the revenue. On
tbsi first of the month there were
$f3(),t93,000 in the treasury more
than Was required to meet all goyern
ment liabilities. It was a sum larger
than ; the total expenditures daring
the first two years of the country's
life. I It had been taken when sorely
nood4d By the paople and without
justijjicatior. No uionarchial govern
ment would dart) extort such a sum in
excess of its needs The effect of
this accumulation was to encourage
u ele!s8 'and extravagant expend. tures.
The people, almost to a man, were
demanding its return to them. So
long'as this policy continued largess
and bounty for purely private pur
pose", would be demanded. It was
said that we still had a large debt
utrstanding and .that' the surplus
should be applied to the purchase of
bonds. As long as we had it the
surplus should be so used, but it was
not sound policy to continue
to raise revenue to buy bonds-
at a premium. In one month
tho Treasurer had purchased $13,-
000,000 in bonds for which he had
PAid $3,5:10,000 above principal and
accrued interest, xms unjust process

Bistid that the interests of the many
should not be subordinated by the in
tereists of the few. (Applause ) Tax
at ion should be distributed among all
of the people and according to their
ability to pay. Until that was done
we should always be embarrassed in
the enort to increase or reauce
taxis. If the present measure

A gentleman, from New England
predicted in 18i' that the duties hied
by the law of that date would ruin
their textile industries. In 157 all
of the Ntpv'Englan 1 members voted
for a still further reduction twenty
per cpst from what i lie v. had called
i lie ruinously low tariff of 184G. . In

New England was 8:1 per .cent. The
jvroduction in 18;"0 in Now Enghind
was more than the entire product of
the. United States in IS.jO. This was
what f he llepublxans from N. E had
seen inder a low tariff. "Within 11
year&;after the passage of this bill
the peopje of New Engl an 1 would
vote for a still further ro iuction,' or
if they did not the pe -pie
would send somebody here who
would- (Applause. 1 They had seen

Tb.esa things had grown Out of our
high tariff system. He quoted Chas.
Sumner as favoring a reduction of the
tariff ;to the lowest" measure consis
tent with the demands of the govern -ment
Which was, he said, good old
fashioned Democratic doctrine. ( Ap
plause'). Yet the duties- today were
two!and one half times as much as
they j were when Morrill said, 31
years ago, they were ;? sufficient.
From 184(r down to the end
of Buchanan's administration no
bond; was sold, for less than par in
gold while many" were sold at a pre
mium. After the act of ; was
passed the Republican administra
tion had sold bonds for lf per cent,
discount. . The government trdit
was always good until war came on
and free trade or protection would
not have saved the bonds in that
war. In view of the fact thjat internal
revenue taxes remained , only on
luxuries, it was but fair; thit any
further reduction of taxation should
be made upon necessities.. But, re
cognizing the differences ?f opinion
upda that subject, the committee had
dealt with both subjects. -He would
have' hesitated to vote fof the bill
if he believed it would result in the
destruction of a single indastry. But
he believed it would benefit all of
them. Applause. j
T Quoting , John Sherman, he read
that tho dune had come jwnsn jh.
pledge implied by the passage of the
act of 18G4 should be redeemed.
-Labor did. not fear competition with
the .pauper labor of Europe, but did
fear -the creations of our Town laws.
Applause. He did not know any
p!ac where the correct principle of
taxation had been more dearly stated
than by John Sherman. The ' state
ments that protection enabled the
manufacturer to sell his goeds
cheaper and eiAbled the laborer to
get fetter wages were utterly ineon--sisteirl
with each other. He did not
denj that there had been ai tendency
toward increased wages in this coun
try, ut it was true of all other coun
tries?, free trade or protection. There
were other causes thaa protection for
this and the principal one was the
enormously increased use of machin
ery5. In this connection he quoted
frorii a report by Commissioner
Wiight of the Labor Bureau, tothe
ways and means committee, sta
tistics to show the effect of
the employment of mechanical forces.
He also pointed to the railroads, the
telegraph and steamboats and the in
creased facilities for exchange as ele
ments that -had brought j down the
prices and increased the wages of
labor. All these influences are well
known. . There is not awel-informed
man in the country Whq does not
know that it is not the tariff, not the
rates of duty on imported goods that
have( brought down the prices of
manufactured articles ort increased
ttfe? wages of labor,,! but the
marvellous inventions which have
characterized this age as no other
age before has been characterized
since the history of man bgan. The
gentleman from Maine talks about
the home market. We all know he
says, that this protective j system is
beneficial to the farmer becausefirst,
it protects his products against "conf
petition from the agricultural prod
ucts' of other countries and, secondly,
the gentleman say 3 because it. diver
sifies industry and by increasing the
number of peop'e engaged in other
than agricultural pursuits increases
the; ; market for his product.
Now, Mr. " Chairmanl ii is
scarcely necessary for mo to
make any argument to show that
as to all those agriculture products
which the farmers of Jhis country are
compelled to send abroad to sell at
m L? 11 a 1
ioreign'prices lie quty cannot oe 01
any possible benefit. The American
farmer understands this so well and
the failure oi this argument has so
often been exposed that it would be
a waste of time for me to dwell on
it. It is barely possible that at some
ariicular time and at some particu
ar point alonj the northern border
the duty upon barley and hay and
eggB and perhaps a few other
articles may enable the pro
ducer of these articles at that
particular time and that particular
place to realize ft higher price for his
product than he would if the duty
were removed. But, Mr. Chairman,
even this occasional and uncertain
benefit is of but very little advantage
to nun ana when you come to remem
bet that he is all the time subjected
to a harden which high tariff imposes
on I articles he has to buy, and under
take to set off his advantages against
ma disadvantages touIwiII nnd
large balance on the wron ride. 0

market, is improving and has been

these products '' Aro thejarmers of
the North and the planters of the
South to abandon their great wheat
and cotton fields and undertake the
culiivation of crops not suited to
their soil and their climate in order
that these gentlemen may have an
opportunity to make experiments to
see whether & home market can be
made by legislation ? No, .sir; these
great agricultural interests must go
on and the American farmer must con
tinue to sell his surplus products
in any market he can reach and for
aay price he oan get. The gentleman
from Maine, while not fearing to ad
mit that tho price of all our exporta
ble products is fixed in a foreign mar
ket, undertook to avoid the force of
the admission by contending that the
price in the foreign market was fixed
by the supply in Amoiica. Undoubt
edly the supply in this country has
an influence in fixing the pries in
tho foreign market but the
great controlling clement is the
world's supply and the world's
demand. American producers of
wheat, for instance, do not compete
among themselves alone in tho great
wheat markets of Europe. -They
meet there the wheat. from' England,
from Russia, Austria, Hungary and
India and all the other grain growing
regions of Europe and Aaia, and they
sell their products there in compe
tition wi h all the products and prices
of labor on the face of the car'h.
The lately emancipated slaves of
Russia, the Rajah of India, who lives
all summer on rice and milk and
requires no garment except a coarse
cotton shirt and sleeps on the floor of
the wheat, from Minnesota and
Dakota, and no tariff we can put on
and no system of taxation thai
can be devised here by the ingenuity
of man can prevent this being do"
The same argument applies to
agricultural products and th 1
can farmer understands it. .nd
he understands that as long
as he is compelled to
export and sell in a foreign land any
part of his product the foreign mar
ket is worth j'ist as much to him as
the home market because he receives
there just what he would receive here
after deducting the cost of transpor
tation.' Therefore, in place of ro
Striding his market, he wjtnts it ex
tended and enlarged so that his prod
ucts, which cannot be consumed here
can find a market among the people
elsewhere What the: American farm
er ,wants is a home markt in which
he can purchase his supplies as cheap
as his competitors purchase theirs.
When he can't get this then he asks
that there may be such a system a3
will enable him to purchase his sup
plies elsewhere and bring them into his
own country without.being unreason
ably fined for carrying on this harm
less business. That is what the
American farmer wants. We want,
gentlemen, not only the home market
but the markets of all the world for
the variety of products of this great
country. We want to sell our manu
factured products to India and Hun
gary, the manufacturing places
of Europe and the agricultural
places of Mexico, South America
and Asia. We want to remove
as far as we can the restrictions and
barriers which annoy our industries
so that this country may take its place
alongside of .tho great commercial
countries of the world Jand become
rich and powerful a? no other coun
try has before. '
Mr. Carlisle thanked the committee
for the attention with which it had

tiro body, without exceptions, were
heartily in favor of our townsman,
I-CA.lajiraprupjrem e
the resolution was put and cflrtf&i
before his name was given to the con
vention, for every speaker and every
voter present uttered sentiments in
high praise of Cuberland's distin
guished son. It was universally con-
ceeded by all, that among men there
were none moie pure, more upright
than he, and that his legal knowledge
was the equal of any, and that he had
few, if any superiors. Judge MacRae
is held in high esteem not only in
Cumberland, but wherever known, and
he would give dignity and power to
the Supreme Court bench. Cumber
land will certainly present his name,
and stand solidly for him, an 1 if the
convention will follow its example it
will do a good thing for the State and
a wise one for the party by nomina-
