Senator' Voorliee' Speech In
(lie Uniicil States Senate
on I lie Ifomcsteufl
lraimi.
Mr. Prftf-ident, in the condition of
my health, prudence perhaps would
dictate that I ahould not attempt to
address the Senate this morning;
bat I feel that it would not be right
to allow this occasion to pass with
out giving additional emphasis o
what has been said.
A few days ago the Democratic
party after its work was done at
Chicago adjourned. We came hack
here, and as we came to our seats
thoeo who were able to get to them
we weie met by a partisan pre
amble and resolution introduced by
the Senator from Maiue f Mr. Hale'
tauutiug in its character, and in
tended to point out what he thought
was a defect in the platform ot that,
convention.
It is true, sir, that at Chicago the
Democratic party lesolved that the
republican policy of protection was
a robbery, a fraud, a sham, a cheat,
a delusion and a snare; if not in so
many words, yet such was the mean
ing we conveyed and intended to
couvey.
It is true that that great party
there assembled declared that the
power of this government extended
no further than to levy a tariff for
revenue to support it economically
administered. It is true we held
there aud hold now and here that
the protection of one man in amass
ing riches at the expense of another
is an immoral, unjust, dishonest and
iniquitous system of legislation. I,
sir, am a member of the committee,
ou finance, and have been ever since
I had toe honor to enter this body,
and the Senator from Maiue sought
to instruct me t report what wonld
be the effect upon labor of a tariff
for revenue only. I am not prepare
ed to discourse upon history this
morning, but if he will look back
beyond the period of the war and
take the work published by that
eminent and distinguished citizen,
who, whether President or not, will
live long in the memory and affect
ions of the people Mr. Blaine if
he will take his work, entitled Twen
ty Years in Congress, he will there
see what the condition of this coun
try and its labor was when we had
a tariff for revenue ouly under dem
ocratic policy. Labor riots were
not an offspring ot that policy ; la
bor riots, battles, blood stained
fields came not from the democratic
policy on the subject of the tariff
They have sprung alone from the
doctrine of protectiou which the
Senator from Maine here vaunts to
the skies. That doctrine has been
misleading; it has been delusive.
You have made the poor people who
laid down their lives yesterday on
the banks of the Monongabela be
lieve that yoa were protecting them.
There never was a greater falsehood
worked and woven into the legisla
tion of the country. There is no
protection for them noDe whatever,
and so they have found to their
dreadful cost. You have said, how
ever, that the Carnegies, the great
est barous in the manufacturing in
terests, must be protected against
foreign competition, and at the ex
pense of the home consumer, in or
der to enable them to pay high wa
ges to labor. Have they done it ?
You have given Mr. Carnegie his
55 per cent on iron and more than
70 per cent on steel, and instead rf
stepping forward in the spirit ot the
resolution offered by the Senator
from Maine and paying his work
men high wage?, be told them they
would have to submit to a reduce
tion of from 12 to 40 per cent, from
this time on. "With protection at its
very acme, the very zenith, higher
than ever known before, the Mc
Kinley bill glonfyiog itself, the
workingman is met withiu a few
days after resolution of the Senator
from Maine was read in his chain
ber by a reduction ot wages which
has at this hour made humble homes
full of mourning, full ot sobs as I
speak aud the faces of women and
children wet with tears; ail this be
cause your protected manufacturer
instead of giving wages to his met),
sought to take wages from them.
These workmen at Homestead had
beard so often from the eloquent
Senator from Maiue and other Sen
ators that their gieat object whs to
protect labor that they had come
to believe it. They believed that
you meant what you said when jou
said you intended to protect labor
How have you done it t The bene
ficiary of our system, Carnegie &
Co.. naye responded to your rsolu.
tion with the employment of 1 will
uot call it an army, I will not call it
a military body, but the employment
ol an armed mob ; the Tinkerton
men are nothing but u armed mob.
I think the Senator from Illinois
(Mr. Palmer) might have gone furs
ther and spoken with just pride ol
his great aud manly contest with
these miscreants when Uoveruor of
Illinois. I was a witness to it. We
livn neighbors and take observation
ot each other, fie ban slated here
what we all know, that the Pinker
ton forces are the merest mercena
ries ou the earth. They are worse
than the Hessians who (ought my
ancestors and yours in the cam
paign in the Jerseys, They are
meaner ; they are worse : they are
the spawn of this infernal system of
protecting one man in getting rich
by impoverishing everybody else.
The IJessians belonged to the elect-
or of Hesse Cassel, who sold them
to George III. to oppress Americans.
They had no choice in the matter.
Here is a private corporation where
men willingly volunteer and be-'
come members of a squad armed to
go and do murder for pay. He who
rules the world knows that my heart
rejoices not in pain, not iu death,,
not in bloodshed : but I say here in
the face of my soul's fiual responsi
bility that those men took their
lives in their hands, and every one
who yesterday fell was killed under
the law of self-deleuse.as plainly as
was ever laid down iri Blackstone.
My only regret is that Carnegie had
not been at their" head, instead of
skulking either ou this or the other
side of the waters. We would then
have seeu a fit issue formed. The
Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Car
lisle) suggests that Carnegie is at
bis Scottish castle across the waters.
I believe he is, for from there I le
member seeing a dispatch in which
ne congratulated your candidate for
the Presidency on his renomination.
I remember also that some two or
three years ago he came here and
gave a lordly banquet. He feasted
the administration because its poli
cy was so consonant with his desires,
so in harmony with his wishes, was
fattening him to such a degree that
it rejoiced his soul ; and be called, as
Belshazz.tr of old did, the lords
about him to attend the banquet I
understand be admits he has an in
come of a million a year. That was
not enough, and cursed by that in
famous greed that fell under the
malediction of the Savior at every
step He took upon earth, he wanted
more, and would reduce the wages
of the poor to obtain, it, pinch their
daily earnings, and these working
people, under the delusion that you
intended to protect them iu their
rights, took up arms like men to
protect themselves. When brave
men expect assistauce, the way to
earn it is to help themselves as far
as possible. They took up arms and
fought the battle out. Instead of
any protection for them, however,
every sympathy will be extended to
what will be misnamed the ageuts
of law and order. The Pinkerton
mea were not the agents of law and
order ; th y wero not the agents of
justice; they were not the agents ot
peac. These people at Homestead
in their little homes may have been
wrong, Mr. President ; they may
have been misguided; but how hon
est and sincere their conduct looks!
They said to the deputy t-heiiffs aud
to the sheriff himself : "We have no
need of your assistance to protect
this property ; not a dollar's wonh
will be harmed : we will swear in
our men and give bond to any am
ount that not one dollar's worth
hall be destroyed." All this is to
their ciedlt, and they, believing that
there was something in the doctrine 'discharge the duties of a peace cf
of protectiou to labor, were ready jficer, to make arrests, or iu any way
to protect property aud also took 'disturb our pe3ple, we have a cell
up arms to protect themselves, and j for him in one of our penitentiaries
now there is mourning among them, The same can be said of the great
and likewise there is moarning democratic State of New York. TJn
amongst the Pinkerton men. These der the auspices of the Serator from
tilings have never happened under
a democratic administration ; never
under Democratic policy. I dare to
say so. I could not Mt still and si
lent this morning while taunted with
a resolution teilmg me, as a mem
ber of the finance committee, to in
quire into what the effect of a tariff
I for levenue only would be upon la
bor wheu such an answer as this
comes crying as blood cries from the
gronnd, against the harrible policy
which now curses the country. A
word or two more. I covered this
whole question two years ago here
I thought to have read tome re
marks w hich I then made, but I will
not detain the Senate to do so. 1
challenge suy Senator on the Re
publican side to show in any bill on
the sulp-ct of the tariff, wherein
any line, where in any word, where
iu any sentence, here in au3' sec
tion, theie is a provision protecting
a laborer in his wa.'es? Tell me to
day where there is such a provision
upon this subject? Where is there
a line that states what the light ot
the laborer is as betwet u him and
his employer ? You say "protec
the employer and he will protect
the employee.'' I say you have pro
tected the employer uutil he has
waxed fat and luxurious in his ways
of life ; he rides roughshod over hin
employees, cuts down their wages
when he sees fit, turns them away
from their homes, drives them,
hunts them, strikes them in mid
winter and in midsummer as he
sees fit, and I challenge this Senate
to show here by one word iu any
tariff legislation what protection the
wage-worker has against all this,
and as much more as the sordid,
merciless spirit of avarice cau de
vise. The protection to the em
ployer is to go ou, although he
shoots his employees to death in
their own doorways when they seek
the only protection that is left them,
the protection of their owu exer
tions. Mr. President, i rejoice iu
the tame and name of the State I
represent here in part ; I glory in
the great State of Indiana, with its
democratio majority, which we will
repeat and increase this fall; we
will go into battle there with our
faces to the enemy and with stout
hearts. We have God and right on
our side ou this great question of
taxation slavery, and though, Mr.
President, there may be variances
on some questions between demo
crats yet the eternal lfe of liberty
is involved in the question ot a man's
right to his own earnings. The
world has beeu convulsed on the
subject of slavery. It had to go
down. 1 clung to the guaranties of
the Constitution with you men ol
the South to the lust, and have no
regrets or apologies to make ; but
the time had come, the fullness of
time, aud the slavery which was
given us by the fathers had to pass
away. No longer would the moral
sense of the world ee one man,
whether black or white, work for
another and get nothing in return,
although the black -faced slave got
more iu return, better care, better
clothing, and better food by far
than these people get from the men
who cut down their wages and shoot
them down for standing by their
rights. I say that the moral sense
of the world is against your policy
of protecting meu to amass fortunes
without the breadth of a hair's pro
tection to the laborer uuder them.
I said, however, that I rejoiced in
the great State which 1 in part rep
icseut. I nend to the secretary's
de.-k and ask to have read an act of
the democratic legislature of Indiana
approved March 0, 18S9, which
shows what we do with the Pinker-
!ton men when they come to Indiana
(The ac: provides against depu
tizing any oue who has not resided
in the State continuously for twelve
I mouths for police duty of any kind.)
We have two excellent peniten-
tiaries in Indiana, one on the Ohio
river aud the other on Like Michi
gan, and whenever a Pinkc-rton
man is brought into our State to
New Yoik (Mr. Hill) a law has been
enacted there making substantially
the fame piovisions which are made
by the taw of Indiana. Where is
there a liepublicau State which
takes care of its citizens in that way?
There is no such law in the noble
State of Illinois I might say the
Republican State of Illinois, though
I believe thu Senator from Illinois
(Mr. Palmer) will resent that, for
he thinks it is uot goinc to be re
publican any longer, and I am dis
posed to concur with him. But we
have protected our people by law.
aud should the Pinkertons come
trooping iuto Indiaua as they did
into Pennsylvania, we will put strip
ed clothes ou them insteid of uni
foims. I am told that they yester
day appeared iu Pennsylvania in
the uniform of Pinkertotfs guards,
detectives, watchmen, or wharever
you plea.se to oll them, 1 know not
what. They hail on uniforms. We
will strip those uniforms from them
and put ou others of h different hue
and brand if they come to Indiana.
This much, Mr. Prrsident, I felt
ought to be said on this occasion. I
lelt that it ouht to be said iu re
sponse to the resolution introduced
by the Senator from Maine, and the
temper aud tone in which it was
introduced, although at the time
there was such an answer made by
the Senator from Missouri (Mr
Vest) that I might well have rested
the whole case there. But with this
bloody field before us, this awful
scene iu American history, the first
of its kind, so far as magnitude is
concerned, ever euacted ou our soil,
I did uot teel that this iswue bhould
pass tamely and eilmtly away by
reference to a committee until its
real meaning was spoken and plain
ly interpreted. Its real meaning is,
that men like Carnegie and his class
are so bloated, araogaut, aud ple
thoric of wealth and of consequence
that they think they can employ a
private army themselves to ride
over American citizens and to dis
possess and uuhouse men, women
and children at the behests af their
own inTeresTs and gains.
UOMAX S SUFFltAUE.
How It AVill I.fleel Things
at the White lIoue.
It is seldom that the Texas Bap
tist and Herald feels constrained to
note an important movement on
the political chess board, but the
startling news which comes from
Cincinnati through the Southern
Associated Pre.m announcing the
nominat on of our "Cran" for vice
president of the republic ou the pro
hibition ticket demands more than
the hasty nctice u-unll.y accorded
similar events. Following iu the
telegram :
"Cincinnati, O.. July 1 Dr. J.
B. CranGll of Texas was nominated
for vice-piesid ut by the prohibi
tion convention at an early hour
this morniug. Dr. Cranfill then
made a stirring addrebs. Before
adjournment a bitter discusnion re
garding the treatment of colored
delegates (one of them a woman)
by the Cincinnati hotels sprang up.
Bain of Kentucky and other South
ern delegates favored the resolution
censuring the hotels. The conven
tion adjourned at 2 a. m."
The charges involved in the pos
sibilities suggested by the telegram
are more far reaching than might at
111 st sight appear. In the event of
the election of this ticket, at the
head of which is Mr. Bidwetl of CaU
iroruia, the president deceasing
would leave Cran'' directing the
destinies of the greatest republic
that thf world has ever known. It
is natural therefore that in contem
plating the possibilities of the fu
ture, the mind should speculate
upon the accessories of such an
event, aud the American citizen
may speculate ami make slates
each for himse'f, according to the
probabilities involved. In'the event
of Crau's accession to power a suit
able cabinet of course would become
necessary. It is not stretching the
imagination to predict I hi name of
Rev. Martin Van Buren Smith of
Belton as secretary of state, the
Hon. Je'i" D. Rj of Huntsvillo as
minister plenipotentiary to Japan,
Dr. J3. W. N. Sims minister plenipo
tentiary to Turkey, and the Hon.
Tred Douglas of the Immigration
Bureau for the naturalization of im-
portem lemalo voters from Daho
mey, Timbuctoo aud other interior
prouinces of the dark contineut.
Aud as the platform upon which
Cran has accepted the nomination
declares emphatically for woman
suffrage it is not beyond the range
of probability that a pressure may
be brought to bear upon him to
recognize the colored lady delegato
whose rights the convention con
sidered at Cincinnati, and that she
uccetle to the position ol Secretary
of the Navy or ot the Interior, or it
might be that it wonld become loc
essary to create a speei.d depart
ment iu the cabinet to supply the
long felt want ueeoiding to the plat
form ou whieli the race is to bo
made. It is perfectly clear Hint ac
cording to the plat loi in adopted at
Cincinnati in which woman is ad
vanced to the ballot box and the
speare, the government has long
been sided. The female voter, both
white and black, has been most uiii
justly excluded fiom the councils of
the nation. The triumph of this
plank iu the platform would involve
a radical change in the genius of
our government and necessitate the
establishment of several new de
partments iu the president's cabinet.
There would be, for instance, a great
demand for a Nursery Bureau for
the proper care of the children ot
both white and black lady members
of congress, including both the
bouse and the senate. Then as
tit is demand grew under the eulargs
ing geuious ot our nation there
would, in addition to the Nursery
Bureau, be room for some suitrble
member in the cabinet chosen for
the distinguished white or colored
stateswoman ot the natiou. Theu
would follow the necessity for the
establishment of a National Medi
cal Bureau as auxiliary to the Nur.
sery Bureau etc. A recent visit to
the capitol suggests to our mind in
view of the womau's plank in the
Cincinnati platform, that cradk-s
baby wagons, bottles, etc., might
be, arranged artistically in the great
rotunda beneath the caput ol dome
for the accommodation of members
in the two houses of congrees, or
the Botanical Gardens in front of
the capitol could be appropriated by
the lady members ot congress where
mnch of the work of the Nursery
Bureau to be established under the
new regime could be conducted with
great economy. . The grounds
around the capitol could also with
out additional expense be similarly
ufalized. On holiday m these chil
dren could be corralled aud marched
in procession up Pennsylvania Ave
nue to the White House. Great
effect could be given to this pageant
by alternating the white and black
children in the procession, and the
Presideut could receive them at the
White Hoase in the EaHt room or
in the yard according to the condi'
tions of the weather. These are
only a few of the charges that rush
upou and crowd into our mind at
the moment ot reading this Cincin
nati telegram. There are various
other suggestions that present
themselves, such as re-arranging
the seats in the house and in the
senate, making every alternate desk
a cradle: providing for the iucrease
of the salary of congressmen and
congresswomeu, so that In the ev.int
of the wife's election to congress,
she would have sufficient income to
support her husband, or a possible
constitutional provision that the
election of the wife should always
carry with it an apj ointment ot the
husbaud to some clerkship in some
of the various bureaus, which would
grow out of the contemplated
changes involved in woman's suff
rage. These views aie only specu
lations upon the possible evolutions
of this great government We re

ture. Texas Baptist and Herald.
