;! SENATOR VANCE'S SPEECH,
f; i We commence in this paper the publi
ITation of Senator Vance's recent speech
I in the United States Senate on. the Bill
i proDoaiDtr to taise a commission ot ex-
?.: perts to revise tne tariii system, ana re
I port on the chauges thought to be advis-
i able. The Senator does not confine him
self rigidly to the proposition of the bill.
l but grapples the general subject of the
present tariff as it affects the people of
the country, and exhibits in a lucid style
I Its oppressive and unjast character. We
I are awaje that most readers of newspa
t pers have an aversion to long articles and
I are very apt to passthem by without
?i reading them. In order to iuduce the
li patrons of the Watchman to make an cx
ccption in this case, we stiall preseDt Sen
ator Vance's speech in three parts,, not
giving more in any one than will suit the
convenience of most men to read without
less of tinie, preferring this method to
the one of making extracts. Senator
Vance has evidently bestowed much la
bor on this speech, and it is a subject o;
such universal and weighty character
that it should be read as a whole by eve
ry man in the country.
?; r cn. i p. v;nngman is out in a letter re
P pljing to the newspaper ; articles which
j have recently appeared concerning his po-
l litical attitude. ; The General is displeased
j with both the Democratic and Republican
h party iqinics tae lormer .has failed to
meet public expectation, and the latter is
still dishonest and unworthy of support,
andthat it would-be. better to destroy both.
We will give the General's letter soon, tho
I we cannot see much use in it. There is
I nothing either in the words or tone of the
jSeneral's letter to justify the conclusion
thatjie proposes to join the Republicans in
a crusaae against tne Uemocratic party,
that conclusion hast been reached outside
of anything authorized by the gentleman
flimself.

For purposes of livers and harbors,

$59,CG1,010, while in the Southern States
for similar purposes it has expended $22,-
259,473. ! Ot bonds ot the government to
aid in building northern railroads there
have been issued $78,926,732, gvhile none
have been issued iu aid of any railroad
nmniugthro' the Southern States. This
makes a grand total of money aud bonds
expended by the government for tlie de
velopment and protection of the North
ern States of $275,302,200, agaiust
$94,814,379 expended in the South
ern States, and a grand total ot the
public lands of 24(,449,326 acres expend
ed for the benefit of the Northern States,
any 28,319,797 jacres expended for the ben
tit of the. Southern States. This does uot
take into account at all the fishing boun
ties aud other drawbacks on taxation of
which the -North received the- exclusive
benefit. When to all this is added the fact
that more than seveu -tenths of the einol-
iiments of public office have for twenty
vears wast been euioved bv the northern
people: that fifty millions iu pensions are
annually paid there, together with almost
the w hole i uteres t of the public debt, there
can be little wonder that the northern
section of the Union keeps ahead of the
southern. Is it to be wondered at that
we who feel these inequalities so keenly
become a little restive under the gibes
upon our ignorance aud want of .thrift, so
called; that we refuse to fold our bunds
aud submit to it all with the meeknss of
an Egyptian fellah T Are we to blame, do
you think, for endeavoring to let the
world know the truth that one section of
do bo. absorbs the ullicnronei tv of both.
and seizes to itself with rapacious greed
all the emoluments and riches of the He
public I '
But it may be said with regard to the
public moneyIt cannot be said of the
public domain that as the North pays
most of it into the treasury it is but right
that it should receive most. This is only
an apparent, not a real, state of facts. It
would be a poor compliment to the states
men ship of the North to say, while it was
successful iu absorbing the public proper-
ty by the direct and brutal force of num
bers, it was incapable of that ingenious
legislation which insidiously bleeds to
death one class or section for the benefit
of auother. No better scheme for this
purpose, nor one more plausible and ab
solutely false in its pretenses, was ever
devised than the existing tariff on foriegn
imports, the burdens of which fall most
heavily oh the agricultural people of the
fioath
Ut air tne nnjust and unequal
legislation ever enacted by Cougress this
is the most Unjust and nnequal : of all the
causes which have operated to prevent
! tlie material progress of the South and to
keep t he people poor, this tariff for pro-
tection, so called, is and has been most
potent. I think the following propositions
are correct and can be piaintained :
1. Money levied ripon the people for
support of the government is taxation.
2. Money levied upon the people for
con-ition to the ability of each citizen to pay,

4. Money levied on the people, not for
the support of fth government, but for
the benefit of a particular class of men at
the expense of! another is uot taxation,
bnt robbery.
These are the propositions that I pto
I noo to maintain in tha few remarks which
I Bhall submit to the Senate.

I think the Senator was a

which passed the Mouse in 1SG0 and pass
ed the Senate in 1861. I desire to ask
him whether he did not vote to sustain
the bill as it passed the House at that
timet ! . 1

Mr. vance. i reauy cannot say now
whether I did or not. It is possible that
I voted for that bill, but I do not thiuk I
did. If the Senator will cite my record,

Beyond a cavil theio can be no lawful

power of this government on the property
of the citizen and with the other bestow it

under the forms of the law and is called
taxation."
'liet these gentlemen quarrel with the
SnttMiniAi'nnrf. Arrnin- t . t-
(Itmust be couceded that there are
rights ia every free government beyoud
the control of uie.btate. A government
whiclrtecognized no such right!, which
Held tne lives, tne noerty, anu tne. prop
. a
erty of 1U jcitizens subject at all times to
the absolutp disposition and unbounded
control or even tne most democratic de
pository of power, is after all but a des
potism." The gist of the decision in this impor
tant case, which is too long toj quote, is
that necessarily and inherently jthe power
of taxation in every government which is
free is limited to those purposes which
are public in their nature, and can' be
rmade.to extend to no others. If the pro
perty of the citizeu could be taken for nse
of private persons and to promote private
fortunes, w hy not his constitutional rights,
his liberties, or his life : and if ia State of
this Union, which has all the powers of
sovereignty minus only those which sue
has granted by the Constitution to the
Federal Government, cannot, as tlie court
say levy such a tax in aid of private?
fortunes and to build up the euterpirses
of individuals, how can tho Government
of tho United States, which has only lim
ited aud defined powers I In other words!,
how can the government of the United
States through' the constitution derive a
iwwer from the States which the court
says tne fetues had Pot to givej
sSo this tax levied upon the property of a
icitizeu to bestow upon iavored individ
uals "to aid private enteprises'and build
up private fortunes,'' to uao the language
of the court, is an unconstitutional tax.!
Now, let us see what the present av
was framed for, and what purpose it wis
intended to subserve. In additiou to
what-was said by its advocates at tie
tiuio of its passage, and to what is ndw
said in opposing it repeal or modifica
tion, I desire to refer to the authoritative
declaration of the national tar ill' conven
tion recently assembled in the city of
Neve York I presume that will be re
garded as good authority. Among oilier
things the following resolutions were
adopted by that body : 1
"Mesolved by the national tariff conrin
tioii now assembled in Ncio York City, That
the chief aim and purpose of a tariff Sou
all foreign made fabrics and raw material
notiproduced or existing iu this country
is fir the protection of American labor
and to eua'olo our manufacturers through
a tariff to pay higher wages to American
workingnien than they would bo able! to
tia were they forced to compete with un
protected foreigu workiugraeu where j la
bor is pauperized, and w lire re laborers
lave not the civil, religious or political
ights that our workingmeu enjoy."
liesoired, l hat the protection ot our la
bor: iu preference o the lalMr of any oth
er country is the cardinal point of eVery
sound protectionist, and is now as it Was
n 1879, the first and chief duty of our
Government. j
This is a compendium of the whole
question, lu these lew words are con
tained every specious pretext, every false
pretense, every hypocritical howl, everv
communistic yelp ever uttered in behalf
of the doctrine that the Government is
ound to support a mau who. cannot sup
port mm self in the favorite occupation
which he has chosen. !
The Senator from Maine, without ;any
disguise, came out the other day and
avowed that he was for protection for
protection's sake ; that if
there was : not
nota single dollar of public revenue to be "'r U5,.rJw,u"1 ,ucu in

NoW, Mr. President, having as I trust
shown, at least to my own satisfaction,
that this kind of taxation is uncoustuu
tiouaf, let us examine briefly into its
claims for patriotism and beneficeuce, of
which it so loudly boasts. Iu the ,nrst
place, they sav that protection increases
the; wages of labor and prevents our jfree
workiniimen from being compelled to
compete with tlie pauper labor ot tlie
worm : seconu, mac it ouuus up a nome
market, keeps our money at home, i and
iu this respect increases the national
wealth : third, that the prosperity of? the
manufacturer is the prosperity of the peo
ple! generally, and especially of cou
tuners; and fourth, that it cheapeus
production.
I am aware that I cannot say any thing
that is very new on the subject of the
tariff, and that all the arguments aud inci
dents upon which I Bhall relyi to refute
these allegations have been said again
andagain, and that they are so numerous
tliat it 13 almost impossible to arrange
them in auy tinner like compact form.
Thj?y crowd upon the mind.
Vith reference to the first claim, there
can be no doubt of the fact that it does
enable them to pay higher wages; but as
to whether they do pay higher wages or
notj is a very diffsreut question. The cen-
