The" Immorality and Injustice
of a
HI Kb Tariff.
Senator Vance in Baltimore Sun. i
i The possession of wealth confers
such powers and privileges as makes
its attainment the ambition of all.
In the struggle for it the law should
do no more than give' all men a fair
start and an equal chanoe. In no
case should it lend one man -help
against another. There will soon be
inequality enough .at best. The
strong man will soon overcome the
Weak; the man of brains will circum
vent the dullard; the dilligent the
temperate; - the industrious will soon
forge ahead of their rivals, j As soon
as one advantage is secured the
capacity to secure the next one ; is
doubled; for in the business world
the increase of power is in arithme
tical ratio to the increase of capital.
Hence, without a line of legislation,
according to the course of nature,
the inequalities of our society caused
by the unequal distribution of
wealth are sufficiently great to cause
much misery. , , There is no subject
whioh causes greater anxiety to the
humane statesman. Yet when such
things come about naturally, as the
result of superior thrift, industry or
ability, no one can justly complain.
It is the fulfilment of I a great moral
law. But what shall we say
character of ( legislation
of that
which
hastens and increases j these deplora
ble inequalities?: Which creates them
Where, according to the moral Jaw,
they would not exist ? By which
one class of our people, however in
dustrious, temperate and thrifty, are
yet so weighted down with restric
tions and taxation in favor of anoth
er class that they arc left behind in
the struggle ? Law represents the
supreme power of the State.1 . With
us that power is lodged in the peo
ple, and law is the expression1 of the
Will indicated by the majority. There
can be nothing morej cruel and des
potic than to bring the collective
I Will of Jthe majority or supreme pow
ers of the State to the point of tax
ing or confiscating the property of
the minority, or, which is the same
thing, giving the one' a legal advan
tage of the other which enables the
Same result to be ; obtained. Yet
$uch is the effect and intention of a
protective tariff. Its avowed object
is to enable, the home manufacturer
to make money, and as it rejects the
idea of foreign trade and shuts it out
altogether, the'only persons off whom
he can make it are his own country
men. (The element of moral wrong
in Buch legislation is radical and un
mistakable. No matter by what in
genious, far-fetched and roundabout
arguments they attempt to show the
taxed jman that in the long run he is
benefited, the wrong remains. : i We
may not do evil that good may
come,! even jiif it were certain
of coming. Whilst the taxed man
may or may not get back his money
in the long run, we: know of a cer
tainty that the manufacturer gets his
money every time in the short run.
Wherever natural causes have opera
ted to give OBe section or class of our
people an advantage over another,
the man who is either wise or humane
would say at onoe that if the Legis
lature interfered at all it should be to
help the weak and tide them over the
shoals of their situation. There is no
nobler fanction of law than this.
What is a protective tariff, then, but
a tax levied on A to support B? If
it be so then it is morally wrong. In
the abstract, no man will venture to
deny it. . The sophistries and subter
fuges resorted to in the attempt to
show that it is not a tax levied on A,
or, if it is, he receives it all back
again, are unworthy of serious con
sideration in this connection. It i a
tax or it could not increase the cost
of the articles on which it is imposed;
it is paid by the consumer, for there
ia no one else to pay it; it does sup
port the manufacturer, for he clamors
for it and says he cannot live without
it. Otherwise we would have the
strange spectacle of a manufacturer
begging for a duty on goods which
nobody was to pay, whioh did not
enhance the . price of anything he
made to sell, and which he would die
if he didn't get, and that man still at
large outside of the lunatic asylum!
Such are the arguments, analyzed,"

that new States should be admitted into the

existing States, and that ' Congress ought
not to exercise any - supervision over the
provisions of the Constitution of any such
new State further than is necessary to euar-
1 an tee to each State a republican form of
government; that the . proposed Constitu
tion for the State of Utah, submitted to
Congress, contains provisions which would
deprive such proposed State, if admitted,
of that equality which should exist among

of the Senate that the territory of Utah
ought not to be admitted into the Union as

that the practice of plural marriages, biga
my or polygamy, has been .entirely aban
doned by the inhabitants of that territory,

"Section 2. That whenever the circula
tion of any national bank, or any portion
thereof, shall be surrendered and the same
is not taken up by other national banks
within thirty day thereafter, the Secretary
of the Treasury shall thereupon issue an
equivalent amount of Treasury notes of the
denomination now provided j by law for
national bank notes. Said Treasury notes
shall be deposited in the Treasury and paid
out as other moneys kept for the discharge
of obligations of the Government. They
shall be receivable for salaries and for dues
to the Goverment, including duties on im
ports -shall be a legal tender between national
banks and for all debts due to any national
bank; shall be redeemable in coin, as legal
tender notes of the Untied States now are;
and when received into the Treasury they
shall be reissued, and when mntilated or
worn, they shall be replaced in the same
manner as now provided by law for said
legal tender notes. The coin held in the
Treasury at the date of the passage of this
act for the redemption of the legal tender
notes of the government, shall also be ap
plicable to the redemption of .Treasury
notes herein provided for; and such coin
reserve may, from time to time, be in
creased by adding thereto other sums for
payments made into the Treasury, in the
discretion of the Secretary of the-Treasury.
Provided, that the. total amount of
said coin reserve shall never be less than 25
per centum, nor more than 80 per centum
of the total amount of legal tender and
treasury notes outstanding; the true intent
and meaning of this section being that the
volume of paper money outstanding, ex
clusive of gold and silver certificates, shall
remain as now existing. 1
Mr. Stewart offered an amendment al
lowing deposits of gold and silver bullion,
(not less than- five ounces of gold or 80

tificates therefor.) 1 I L

; Mr. Blair called np the question of the
second reading of the bill introduced. by
him, some time since, to give preference to
disabled Confederate soldiers. as between
men, who bad been disloyal, in appoint -meats
to eivil Office.
. Mr. Riddleberger said that he could not
see" the force of the objections made to the
bill on the Republican aide of the chamber.
Moat of the objections to it had come from
ex-Confederates on the Democratic side,
and it was to them that he proposed to re
ply: -He supposed that he was the only
Republican from the South who had been
a Confederate, and he represented, in some
measure, the Confederate- soldier element.
His colleague (Daniel), and two other ex
Confederates, had "stated that no Confed
erate soldier asked for the passage of such
a bill; but ex-Confederate soldiers had had
very few men in the Congress to voice their
wishes. They had had no channel through
which to express themselves. He had never
ridden in an ambulance, never been sick a
day, never waa-absent from a fight in which
his brigade and regiment were engaged,
acd had suffered two terms of imprison
ment. The man, therefore, who challenged
his loyalty to the Confederacy in the past
did so-with the same hazard of bis
veracity as if he were to chal
lenge .j- his j loyalty to the Union
to-day . This was not a pleasant discus
sion for him. ! He was sorry that: the crip
pled soldier of the South was not repre
sented here by some one abler than
himself, and was antagonized by those
who should have stood by him. He repre
sented ex-Confederates who were mis
represented by others, who would go home
and claim to be their best friends pleading
patriotism at Washington and talking
Confederacy at home. In this connection
he made an allusion (not understood by the
reporter), as to ! some Confederate officer
Inducing his men to exchange Confederate
money $5 for $3 of like issue and yet
the Senator from Connecticut, (Hawley),
he said. - had congratulated his colleague
from Virginia on hia statesmanlike speech.
He (Riddleberger).was not here as a per
sistent Confederate He was not here to
ask for any other j terms than those which
had been accorded to him years ago, but
he was here to answer every accusation of
the kind, which he found in the Oangret
sional Record, against men who had been
Confederates, and who had dared to ex
press their own judgment and to have the
courage of their own convictions. He
could not understand how three Con
federate generals i and one Federal general
should oppose the bill.
Mr. Blair defended the principles of his
bill, which, he said, he had introduced af
ter prolonged reflection and on the same
afternoon that he bad had a conversation
with the crippled Confederate soldier. The
bill was not (as some seemed to think) an
entering wedge to the pensioning of Con
federate soldiers; rt was simply a bill em
bodying an act of humanity of humanity
blended with magnanimity and which
he thought a great nation might well ex
hibit. So far as public policy was concern
ed he believed the proposition to be a wise
one He had received very many letters of
thanks and commendations from ex Con
federate soldiers since the bill had been in
troduced He calculated that there were at
least a quarter million of ex-Confederate
soldiers still living, of whom perhaps from
50,000 to 60.000 were without arms or legs,
Mr. Edmunds opposed a second reading
of the bill, and remarked that in most par
liamentary bodies in civilized countries the
chief discussion on the broad merits of the
bill takes place on the question, shall the
bill be readja second time? He hoped the
Senate would take no further step with the
bill.-, -i ': '- j- i ' ,:-'-
.Without disposing of the question the
Benate at 2 o'clock took up the House bill
to provide for the purchase of United
States bonds by the Secretary of the Treas -ury,
the pending question being on the
amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Stew
art, authorizing a deposit of gold or silver
bullion and the issuance of coin certificates
therefor. j-
Mr. Teller look the floor and spoke for
two hours, advocating Mr. Stewart's
amendment, and making general argument
in favor of silver for all financial purposes.
He said that until the United States Gov
ernment took the back-track and planted
itself squarely on the doctrine that silver
coin must be treated the same as gold coin,
the United States, would have little effect
on the financial conduct of Other nations.
Mr Reagan presented an amendment
which be desired to have printed, (to be of
fered hereafter), authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to cancel the interest bear
ing bonds with a hundred millions of gold
now reserved in the Treasury for the re
demption of legal tender notes, and repeal
ing that portion : of the resumption act
which requires the redemption of legal ten
der notes in coin., 1
Mr. Beck gave notice that he would also
offer an amendment to the bill which he
had introduced, on the same subject.
On motion of Mr. Sherman a committee
of five Senatora,to attend the funeral of the
late Chief Justice, at Toledo, Ohio, was or
pered, and Messrs. Sherman, Allison,
Evarts, George and Gray were appointed,
Mr. Sherman suggested that in the ab
sence of these Senators further action or
discussion on the bond bill should be sus
pended; and Mr. Hoar asked and obtained
a unanimous consent to have the Senate
proceed during the remainder of the week
(assuming that there would be no business
attended to to-morrow,- and that there
would be no session on Good Friday), to the
consideration of bills on the calendar.-
Mr. Palmer moved that the bond bill be
recommitted to the Committee on Finance,
The motion was entered, and will be pend
ing when the bill is taken up sgain next

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
As early as 11 o'clock this morning the
galleries of the House were crowded with
spectators, anxious to observe the funeral
services over the remains of the late Chief
Justice, and to do honor to the memory of
the deceased. The floor of the House bore
every evidence of mourning. ' Over every
doorway were heavy draperies of blaca,
and the folds of .the American flag, which
hangs over the Speaker's chair, were taste
fully caught up with the same emblems of
death snd sorrow. . In the space in front of
the Clerk's desk were ranged heavy leather-
covered chairs, for the accommodation of
the relatives and friends of the deceased,
the President and his Cabinet, the Justices
of the Supreme Court, and the funeral
Committee of both houses of Congress.
The front rows of desks of members were
reserved for the Senators, while in the back
of the ball the space was filled with chairs
for the accommodation of invited friends of
members, including many ladies. j
Promptly at 11:80 the Speaker called the
House to order. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Dr. Cuthbert. The business of - the
House was then suspended, while its offi
cers carried in thejbier and placed it in the
space in front of the Clerk's desk. !

hundreds of people, who had by this time
secured seats in the hall, rose in respectful
attention as the distinguished guests were
escorted to their seats. Every member of
the Cabinet was present, and with them
entered General Sheridan, who was clad in
full uniform.
In a few minutes afterwards the Congres
sional Committee entered, followed by the
officiating Episcopal clergymen, Bishop
Paret reading, "The Lord gave and the
Lord bath taken away, blessed be the name
of the Lord," as the casket, inclosing the
remains of the deceased, was borne into the
chamber and placed upon the bier. The
bearers of the casket were all employes of
the Supreme' Court, and behind them, at
tired in their robes of office, came the hon
orary pall-bearers and Justices of the
Court. The members of the Congressional
Committee wore white sashes fastened at
the shoulders with black and white rosettes.
The casket, which was rich and magnifi
cent in its simplicity, was tastefully adorned
with crossed palm branches, bound together
with a knot of white satin ribbon.'and with
a floral tribnte of yellow roses and white
lillies. ' ,'.i. -'a w. ..... f
The impressive burial service of the
Episcopal Church was then read by Bishop
Paret, the music being rendered in an effec
tive manner by a choir of eighteen voiced
to an organlaccompanimenk The solemni
ty of the occasion was heightened when, as
Bishop Paret read the Apostle's creed, the
Vast audience on the floor and gallery rose
of one accord and joined in the solemn re-j
citation of the faith.
: At the conclusion of the services the
casket was borne from the chamber, and
the ceremonies in the House were closed.
- The House then, at 12:45, adjournedj
and the Senate repaired to its chamber and
immediately adjourned.
In the corridor; immediately outside the
House, a procession was formedof those who
were to accompany the remains to the de-j

entrance.
i At the foot of the steps the hearse was
drawn up, and lines, composed of four of
the capitol policemen, tho Benate and

which the remains were slowly borne to the
hearse. Following the body were the Jus
