Av. 4 made to
account of the-
sympathy 1'.
-Vorkiogman. 1 have taken, from
he census ou wpges some figures
' given by manufacturere themselves
I of the total cost ot the product and
. r . . . . i -i
labor cosi oi me articles tney are
making I have put the tariff duty
by the side of them to show wheth-
er in the little reductions we are
asking in this (bill we have gone be-
yond that pledge we as a party have
made that we should not reduce tax
alion so low as to injure our labors
ers, or as not to cover the difference
in cost of labor between American
and foreign products.
' This will show, and I ask your at
tention to it, that the tariff is not
intended to and does not benefit la
bor. It will show that Ihe benefit
of the tariff never passes beyond the
pocket of the manufacturer, and to
the pockets of is workmen.
1 find in this report one pair of
5pound blankets. The whole cost
as slated by the manufacturer is
2.51. The labor cost he paid for
them is 35 cents. The present tar
iffis8190. Now, here is $1.35 in
this tariff over and above
the entire labor j cost
of these blankets. Why did not
that manufacturer go and give that
money to the laborer? He is able
to do it. Here is a tariff that gives
him $1.90 on that pair of blankets
for the benefit of his laborer, but
notwithstanding that the tariff was
imposed for the benefit of American
labor and to preserve high wages,
every dollar of that tariff went into
the manufacturer's pocket. The
fellow who made tho blankets got
35 cents and the manufacturer kept
the $1.90.
Mr. Cruin. Will the gentleman
p!eae state how much the commit
tee has reduced that duty?
iir. Mills, To $100 from 81 90.
Take another puir of 5 pound
blankets. Tbo total cost is $2.70.
The labor coat is 70 cents. -' The tar
Iff in $1 93. Now, how strangu it is
that none of these sums that were
intended for the laborer ever got be
yond the pocket of tho manufacturs
er. Why is it, when the .American.
Congress enacted this legislation for
the benefit of our labor, that every
dollar of this aid intended for labor
stops in the pockets of i the manuv
facturer, who goes into the high
ways and hedges and hires his la
borer at the lowest price for. which
he can get him in the market and
then pockets the tariff benefits that
we are told every day is intended
for the laborer alone for the bene
fit of labor? V r .
Here is another pair of 5-pound
blankets. The cost is $3.39. The
labor cost paid by this manufactur
er, be says himself, is 61 cents. The
tariff is $2.55. In the pending bill
we have left him $1.35, and we have
left the other man $1.08. And we
have left all along not only enough
to-cover the difference, between the
labor cost of production in Europe
and the labor cost of production in
this counuy. but we have enough
left to pay lor all the labor and a
bonus besides.
Let us go a little further. -Here
iB one yard of flannel, weighing four
ounces; it cost 13 cents, of which the
laborer got 3 cents; the tariff on it is
8 cents. How is it that the whole
8 cents did not get into the pockets
of the laborer? Is it not strange that
those who made the tariff and fasts
ened upon the people these war rates
in a time of profound peace, and
who are now constantly assailing
the Democratic party because it is
untrue to the workingman, did not
make some provision by which the
generous booty they gave should,
reach the pocket of him for whom
they said it was inteudod? They
charge that we are trying to strike
down the labor of the country. Why
do they not see that the money they
are taking out of the hard earnings
of the people is delivered in good
faith to the workman?
One yard of cassimero weighing
16 ouncts costs $1.38; the labor is 29
cents; the tariff dnty is 80 cents.
One pound of sewing silk costs $5,66;
the cost for labor is 85 cents; the
tariff is $1.69. One galton of lins
seed oil costs 46 cents; the labor cost
is 2 cents; the tariff cost is 25 cents.;
One ton of bar iron costs $31; the
labor cost is 10; the tariff fixes sevs
eral rates for bar iron. 1 1 giv3 the
lowesi rale, $13.92. One ton of
foundry pig iron costs $11; the la
bor eosts 81.64; the tariff is $6.72.
Nono of these tariff .rates go to
the laborer. The road is locked up.
They can not psss the pockot of the
manufacturer. This "great Anaeri

here about $8. But let us leave these

Here is a car wheel weighing 500
pounds; cost $13; labor cost 85 cents;
tariff rate is $2.12 cents per pound,
equivilantto 12 50, to cover a labor
cost Of 85 cents! Laughter. Why,
Mr. Chairman, these aborers of ours
ought to get immensely rich it they
could get ail that Congress votes to
them, if the manufacturers did not
stop the bounties intended by the
Government to reach the pockets of
the workingmen.
Here is a coarse wool suit of
ckthes such as our working people
: wear in their daily toil in the shop
and field. The Svhole cost is $12.
, The labor cost is $2. The tariff du
ty is 40. cents per pound and 35 por
cent, ad valorem. As the weight of
the suit is not given, we cannot got
the exact tariff, but the duty on
woolen clothes imported last year
averaged 54 per cent., and at that
rate tho tariff stands 8G.84 to cover
$2 of labor cost. t

Now, Mr Chairman, I have gone
through wiih a number of aru'cles
takeii. from these official reports
made by the manuiuelurers tbetns
selves, and L hiiVe shown that the
tariff was not framed for the benefit
of the laborer, or that if it was so in
tended by those who framed it, tho
benefit n'ever reaches the laborer,
not a dollar of it. The working peo
pie are hired in the market at the
lowest rates at wbicfr their services
can be bad, and all the "boodle"
that: has been granted by these tar
iff bills goes into the pockets of the
manufacturers. It builds up palaces;
it concentrates wealth; it makes
great and powerful magnates ; but
it distributes none of its beneficence
in the homes of our laboring poor.
It brings the tax gatherer to tbom;
it weighs them down as it goes ;-it
compels them to pay out a largo
share of their daily earnings for the
necessaries of life ; and the money
it raises by high prices on domestic
manufactures it transfers not into
the coflfers of th j government, but iu
to the coffers of private individua!.
It is making a wide distinction in
thik country between two classes
one numerous, but poor ; one Binall,
but powerful and rich. It U a poli
cy that is at war with the institu
tions of this country. The concen
tration of the wealth of the country
in the h:mds of a few will in prog
ress of time overthrow the very
foundations of our free government.
Now, gentleman, the time, has
come, after all these taxes on wealth
have been swept away, and the
people of this country have been
bearing for years these enormous
burdens that : have been
levied on the ' neccessuries of life ;
now, when "trusts," and "combina
tions," and Spools" are arising all
around us to limit production, to in
crease prices, to make the laborer's
lot harder and darker now the
time has come for us to do some
thing, not for classes, but for the
great masses of our people.
I hopo and trust that the bill
which we have presented to you
and which has met "with favor
throughout the whole country will
receive a majority of your votes, a
majority of the votes of the Senate,
and become a law. 1 earnestly
"hope when the treasury is full J to
overflowing of the people's bard
earnings, you will lighten their
burden, and "reduce the trxes ou the
necessaries of life.
Although the bill we propose U
not all that we could have asked, al
though it is a very moderate bill,
yet it will send comfort and happi
ness into the homes and bosoms of
care high wages for
the poor labotng people, of.- this
countiy, and I ask yon now in be
half of them to consider tneir claims
nd help is reduce the burdens tnai
have so long been laid (upon their
shoulders.

temporarily, can only end iu disas
ter.! Tho News and Observer has re
cently published a list of what it
calls preferences, as expressed by
counties, and this political learning
alsd called "Soine Straw," is publith
ed for the information of provincial
Democrats. It seems that the News
and Observer snt an inquiry to the
Chairman of the Board of Commis
sioners of the different counties, ask
ing them what they believed to be
the preferencecf the people in their
respective counties for Governor ana
Lieutenant Governor ; and received
answers frorn about fifty couutios,
as stated by that paper, and from
these answorsjii places the voto of
Fowle at 157, and Siedman at 117.
Be jit- remembered .that there wll be
933 votes, or thereabouts, in the
next State Convention, and the esti
mate furnished by the New and
Observer, even if entirely correct, as
far as it wentj would be a very poor
index from which to arrive at a
probable conclusion as to who would
be jnominatedj Stedman or Fowle, if
the race should bt entirely between
them, which at the present time is
far from being a - fact.-.-. But just to
show how dismal a . failure these
"Straws" will prove, let the News
and Observer add to its list the follow
ing counties, which are entirely
omitted as not heard from, viz:
Third District Wayne, Duplin,
Sampson and Cumberland ; Sixth
District Brut.swick, Richmond,
Anson and. Union, and then calcu
late, if by any process known even
tOitbo far reach ing calculations of
i hone .'' .who manage polities
is! our modcrt capital, it' can figure
Fowl ariywlicre ahead of Stedman
in the race. If these eight counties
do ivt sufficejwe tan furnish a great
tnjii'V moro, which we thit.k will at
j ieast patiafvoiir friends that thev are
making a tad mistake io attempting
to reach a proper result from the
article headed "Some Straws" from
tho News and Observer. It may bo,
however, that Judge Fowle's friends
can get no pr'oper information from
thleso counties ou account of their
remoteacsH from llaleigh, forBrunss
wick courity was left fronthe list,
although its county convention had
instructed its delegates unanimously
for Stedman some days before the
publication of tho articlo called
?Some Straws;" and a correspondent
of the News and Observer, in anoth
er issue "of that paper. - stated that
a majority of tho people of Cumber
land county wore for Fowle, whore,
as we are reliably informed, upon
the very best authority, that a po-
litical search warrant could net find
ten men who are for Fowle in the
entire county. Now, for the infor-
niation of our good friend", wo will
give thorn an estimate foundeji upon
so-called preferences, furnished not
by one but by two of tho most ac
tivo and well informed Democrats in
each county and covering the entire
State Their answers as furnished
place the voto as between" Stedman
and Fowle at 543 for Sledman and
390 for Fowle, giving Stedman a
clear majority in ihe whole Conven
tion of 153 votes over Fowle.
j The estimate as betweon Alexan
der and Fowle as furnished would
not be preculiarly gratifying to the
friends of Judge Fowle. It must
jot be forgotten, however, that the
calculation U based upon esiimatos
furnished from every county iu the
State, many -of them being far off
from our Capital City. Wo suppose
however, this would be cousidcred
legitimate by Democrats from tho
Stato at largo. N w, we ask our
good friends to place our figures
with their straws and keep them
until tho 30ih day of May aad see
if wo are not very near the mark, if
the race should be between Stedman

A Wonderful Hen.
Mrs. Catherine Loguo of this city
is tbo possessor of n erratic hen
whoso vagaries are the talk of the
neighborhood. The hen began &y
ing eggs during Holy Week, all cf
which wero marked in some pecu
liar way, such as .forms of snail
shells, snakes, and on separate occ a
sions the letters C. and G. On Good
Friday the egg was marked with a
correct! representation of a lamb in
repose,' and Mrs. Logue guarded it
carefully until last Saturday, when
her son, in showing it, accidentally
dropped the troasuro and it was
broken. Almost every "bgg is mark
ed with something familiar. Yester
day th6 egg was ia perfect represent

AM Relics.
HilliVoro Recorder.
The Senate.has passed a bill to
pay the heirs of Gen Shields $10,000
lor two swords and $20,000 to
pay for one sword said to be owned
and used by Gen. ;, Washington at
somo time in his life. If the old
"weapons" are worth the money
andean be profitably used by tho
United States, oi utilized for lhede
fence of this country, w do not obs
ject, but if the object bo,aud we sus
pect it is, to enrich tho poor relations
of these distinguished prtriots out
of the public monies of the people,
then we think the charity is illegal
ly bestowed.
If Congress means to buy up all
the old relics, we have in our office
the press, wood typo and a. portion
of tbo material upon which Wash1
iugtdn's farewell address to tho atV
my was printed. Congress can have
it fur $20,000 or less. We think it
is worth fully as much as the sword.
It is sound in every particular, and
with a little repair can bo made as
good as it wa8 when Washington
was first inaugurated President. Wo
aro not joking. . "
A Unique Composition.
I send a unique composition.,
which was originally published io a
Philadelphia paper ever a hundrod
years ago. It may be read three
different ways. First, let the whole'
bo road in the order in which it is
written; second, read the lirtedown,
wards on the left of eaclji comma in
every line; third, in like manner on
th3 righfof each comma. In ihe
first reading the Revolutionary cause
is condemed, and by the others en
courage J and lauded:
Harkl harkl the trumpet sounds, the
din of war's alarms;
O'er seas and solid grounds, doth
call us aH to arms.
Who for King George do stand, their
honors soon shall shine;:
Their ruin is at hand, who with
Cong rrss join.
Tho acts of Parliament, in them I
much delight;
I hate their cursed intent, who for
the Congress fight.
The Tories of tbo day, they are my
daily toast, .
They soon will sneak aWfty, who in
dopendenco boast;
Who non-resistance hold, they have
my hand and heart,
May they for slaves f bo sold. wbo
act, a Whiggisla part.
On Mansfield, North and Buto, may
daily blesinga pour;
Confusion and dispute, on Co ogres
evermore.
To North and British lords, may
honor still ba done;
I wish a block or cord, to General
Washington. V
