Hill spoke as fol. lo.vsto an immense assemblage at Buf falo, N. Y. I am here to-night to aid ic the pro motion of Democratic principles and to lana and Adlai E. SteveQson. No apology or explanation ia needed for my course. For over ten years it has been my custom at each annual election to appear before my fellow-citizens and contribute my share towards the discus sion of the political questions of the hour. You did not believe that this campaign wtruld prove an exception to the usual rule and you are not disappointed. Among honorable men the loyal dis charge of political duty outweighs ail minor considerations; and in this crisis of our country's history and in this great emergency in our party's aiiair3 individ ual disappointments or even alleged per fional injustice should be subordinated in the faithful performance of political ob ligations, not as a mere matter of ex pediency but from a high and stern sense of duty. Permit me to suggest that we have all of us now a mission o fulfil. Petty jeal ousies must be dismissed; regular organi zations must be respected; party disci pline must be enforced; dissensions must be healed and apathy must give way to enthusiasm, in order that the grand old party to which we are proud to belong may secure the triumph of right princi ples and work out the noble destiny which ought surely to await it. The control of this Government for ma;:y years to come by one or the other of the two great political parties is the prize at hazard in the pending contest, in which all other considerations should iuk into insignificance. These are not merely formal word?, in :ended to arouse the lethargy or to .soothe he wounded feelings of earnest friends, out are a fit supplement to the senti ments which I had the honor of expres liug before the Democratic State Con dition at Albany in February last, im mediately after its action unanimously nstructing the delegates from my native State to present my name as its first hoice to the approaching National con rention. I then said: And.' now you must pardon me vhile I run counter to vour feelings to I ay that the choice of your next stand ard bearer is a matter of tne very least mpcrtance, being strictly subordinate to hat supreme object a Democratic Na iorial victory next November. " J meant what I said on that occasion .nd I reiterate it now. The test of true Democracy is the support of regular )arty nominations, irrespective of ques ions of personal pride, one's own am utioa or individual Dreferences.. FEUEitAL TAXATION. The two great political parties of the :outtry are divided upon the all-im-)ortant subject of Federal taxation. Un- ust taxation is the essence of tyranny. It annoys the rich, it robs the poor, it utenupts business activity and fosters iublic discontent. The American Revo -ition was largely produced by a little ax upon tea which our forefathers re fused to pay. They incurred the perils ii rebellion and the pain3 of outlawry ather than submit to unreasonable tax ition. The best thought of tho Ameri can people may welb be engaged in de rising the" mo;-t equitable and compre hensive scheme for the proper distribu tion of the burdens of government. The lubject becomes yearly more iaiportaut ta the expenses of administration au ually increase. How shall the enormous expenditures of the Government be provide 1 fori How shall it3 necessary revenues be raised? It is conceded by both pavtiew that the best and easiest method oi real izing the needed revenue is by taxation upon foreign imports. It is also ad mitted that a few internal taxes should be permitted to exist, but that the main and principal revenues should be de jived from the imposition of tarilf duties. Upon this point there is no substantial division of sentiment. It is true that there are some extreme men, cow ostensibly acting with the Demo cratic Party, but who do not centre t its councils or policy, who are opposed to meaQ3 of meetiDg our National' expenditures, in substantiilly the same manner that our State taxes tre raised inere canoe no rcuuiC-T:7.;: tar r'.ff tutft'inn wi continue io ue iuk rill lasaauu " permanent notwithstandin sincere but aeirvise its abandonment TBE rr.ECISE ISSUE. The dispute between the two parties tmes oyer the extent, effect aad objects four taxation. Shall tariff taxation be imposed for revenue only or shdl it be used for the purpose o! tostenng private industries? This 2s stating the question as nearly as I am capable '"of doing it.

The power of .the GuVcra policy of the Governmen; , . . g the opinions o. iue,c ; r,, cnfttnr, ;n bv a impracticable theorists wno i?lJerea,iLli. acJ r" rlci5 n,i)M meet to raise revenue by a tarifi upon imports is undisputed, but its constitu tional power to impose a taritl for any other ostensible purpos3 is questioned. The conclusive and sufficient objec tion to a protective tariff Is that it is an abase of the taxing power of the Gov ernment; it compels the whole people to pay tribute to a few ; it is a system bused upon injustice and unfair discrim inations, and tends to build up monop olies. - f" The Democratic position is so plain and reasonable that he who "reads may understand it. It believes that the true and constitutional purpose of a taufl is the raising of necessary revenue for the support of the Government and that is a!!. Let the tariff be high or low as the needs ot the Government may require.. Let it not be so high or low a3 to create a surplus in the Treasury. The place for surplus taxes is in the pofikets of the people and not in the Federal Treasury. The Republican position i3 that the Government should ' use its powers of taxation to build up private industries by placing tariff rates so high that they will absolutely prohibit foreign importa tions or prevent any seiious competition with such industries. The Republicans believe that the question of revenue should be a minor consideration iu the forming of a tariff bill, andthat the fost ering of some industries should be the primary one. They shut their eyes to the fact that they are unnecessarily inter fering! with the natural laws of trade. They ignore the value of ioreign trade or assume to believe that foreign countries will trade with us although we purchase- nothing from them. They forget that reciprocity cannot be one sided. Thsy appeal to the selfishness of the people and to their natural jealousies of and animosities against foreign countries. The arguments of the Republicans in support of this system are inconsistent with each other, they in one breath alleg ing that a high protective tariff keeps up prices and in another breath that it re duces them. 'You pay your money and take your choice." Our opponents are as versatile and accommodating in their argument in this respect as was the ignorant village schoolmaster who had made application to teach a country school anel when exam ined by the local committee as to his qualifications was asked the question "whether the world wa3 round or flat?" replied $bat it made no difference to him that he would teach 'that the world was round or fiat just as the committee prefeired." I da not believe that our American manufacturers require the protection which the Republican Party seems to be so anxious to foist upon them, especially if they were provided with free raw ma terials as the Democratic Party proposes to do. We are already underselling for eign manufacturers in most or many of the markets of the world, and if we can compete with them abroad, especially in their own markets, there would seem to be nc real necessity of taxing bur people longer in order to enable our own maau faeturers to compete with Ioreign ones at our very doois. Aii that America ueeds is a frea field and a fair fight iu the race of life and she will prove invincible iu nearly every department of humau activity. It is a narrow anil contracted view, however, that seeks to keep our country from con tact with the commsree of the world. The Republican orator who boastingly asserts that the United States can raise and manufacture everything we need,' thai foreign commerce should not be sought after or foreign markets consid ered, aud that our, American farmers sh-jald be content with home markets nr.'i hn me prices, and that we can and should be independent of all the rest of the world, may gratify the selfish and false pride of tiis bearers, but he oniy ex hibits his ignorance oi" history and his lack of coaipreiiensioa of the true sources of genuine prosperity. THE DAVESronT FOT.rK BII.I-. The last step which the Republican Partv took in ibe direction oi centra! ize t troverument was m the attt inp'e ehnctrnenx of the ofieus.ive and h::q tito.is measure now known as the D.ivenport Force bill. When this bill was peu-ii:i i it Congress in the summer of 18.50 I had the honor of speaking in reference to its provisions as follows: 4 'If the people :ire thorough! r aroused to the nature and' iovuitieiof tne bill. the party which ha; coaceivj'l it f.ai is now hastening to era;t it will bs buried under an "avalanche of rcmjas'.rar.ce at the next election."'

Like many other partisan cnspirac es the Davenpo't bill is proposed ia th-? name of reform, and its defenders pre. tend to find warrant for it in that pro vision of the Constitution which de clares: "The times, places and manner of hold ing elections for Senators aui Represen tatives shall be prescribe.! ia each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Con gress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to th? places of choosing Senators." For a hundred years -This provision has remained in our organic law, and no Congress has been bold enough to exer cise the undoubted right which its terms give under certain extraordinary circum stances to annul State election laws and place virtually the entire control of elec tions of Representatives in the hands of Federal supervisors. No Congress has yet been bold enough to exercise it be cause no great emergency for which it was designed has arisen, and no Con gress, except the last, has had the tem trlty to place any other construction up on its nieanin! than that Dut by the convention which framed, and the peo ple who ratified it. Under what authority, then, aud upon what plea do men thus attempt to sub eert the Constitution, establish an im mense army of Federal spies, incur au expense of many millions, st one class of officers against another, annul State laws and make partisan Federal ap pointees the judges of elections. There is no authority for it and no ex cuse. It is a policy of force r.nd par tisanship. It is the last arbitrary report of an unscrupulous and tyrannical ma jority. It is the design of a party which, afraid to leave the question of its con- tinuance in power to the free vote of the American people, is ready to employ any methods which will prolong ,its teuure of nthe.ft. Have you thought what an immense political machine the e-nforcc.ueat of such a law would create? An army ef 15'J,000 workers aud resourcts of l 1)00,001) for every Congressional election all iu the interests of purer elections! I am astoni-hed at the intellectual ca pacity of any public man who pretends to believe that such an exercise of power was pi emeditated by the men who made our Constitution; 1 .mi sorry !or the un-Americanism of auv tiersou who does not beheve suclta bill as this to be a hostile blow at our form and theory of government, and I pity the partisan prejudices which prevents pa triotic men from joining in the denun ciation which they must fe?l for such au uncalled-for usurpation of -power; hut I am surprised at the hypocrisy of states men who urre and aefend it uoou the ground of purt? elections and I a!1 ahhzed at the auiacity of politicians who have devhe 1 it as a scheme of party policy. . KEi'Uni.TCAN cortKUpnox. The coiintry has not forgotten the caadalcu-s corruption of four years azo. by which the Rjpu "jlic.:n Party came into power.

About Potatoes.

Iowa is second in amount raised -17, 000,000 bushels thougdi its area os ' 17,000 acreM is eclipsed by the 2J:l,00 acres which Pennsylvania give to tin raising of lG.OUO.OOO bushels. Illinoh comes next, both in area aad quantity o product, while Wisconsin and Ivausa? cross each other for fifth place. The four New England States of Maine New Hampshire, Vermont and Massaahu eetts, however, lead the ouatryiu thf number of bushels produced p-r acre, the average for the four States bviu over 100 bushels an acre, wh:rh is at tained by no other State except remote Washington, which promises to bo one of "the tioert potato-growing r"gioas u' the world. It is thus seen tint the cooler climati of the Northern Strcs is lavorble U this crop, as to many others io the list o staudard food supply.
