BASEBALLS.
' BALL I. THE MOUNTAIN.
And it came to pass in the reign of a king,
Base ball they call bim and of him I
, will sing; ;
In the year twenty-three of the reign
aforesaid, , ,
That an orange-tainted mountain took
to her bed. ;
The throes of child-birtn this mountain

And caused her to dread the appcoach
of the night A; h t ,
Nonsense aniunreason and tnembther
nirthr0e,-.;
Were the parents of the child, or "ouht
to be. r ; ' 9
And groans and grunts came out from
the house, "v
When this mother brought forth an IM
PORTED LITTLE mouse;
He was SICKLY and WEAKLY as a
mouse could well be, .
And if you don't believe it just go and iee;
This CATACLYSM engendered useless
CONCATENATION,
And an abortive attempt at RATIO
:" CINATION:
Melancholia and histeria beset tlie motft-
er mount-am,
Arousing her wrath and excruciating pain
'' ? "V'"v -
The name of her first son was Youns
Earthquake,
She yerked up a tree and caused him to
shake,
The ntw one they dubbed 4Wee Harry,
cane"-
An unforseen cause of excruciating pain
Then goes the said dame, with a becom
ing mien,
To that dreary place where Father
i Rocky was last seen,
And her hands they were palsied, and
her limbs they did quakel
As her lips she wide opened, and thus
; she did spake: f ;
"Father, how can I surcease obtain? :
Nothing will appease my pain.
My only food is bats and tmlls, .
And I can eat nothing else at all."
A cavernous aperature thii htr
eyes behold,
A the -bisr jrrny r moun tai u Jiia
sides unfold; .
And in thunderous tone heard
"far away,
He 4inttpa hit tetth and hat hU

"Go, my daughter and with thee
take,-
The words I give thee, also the

His eyes were flashing and his
lace was red,
As he gare a roar and quickly
said: .
The more you stir a stinkpot the
more stinking it becomes.
Out on the first!
BALL II; THE JACKASS.
The jackass dressed in lion's
breeches,
Pricks up his ears and gives somt
screeches;
But feeling that he is out of place,
He screeches again and breaks
his lace.
Now am I right when the ass I
compare,
With the king of beasts so brave
and rar?
If 1 have digressed wait just
go slow,
And I atsininity to you will show.
Chock-full of plunder, plenary
with conceit.
Even more plethoric than an egg
with meat:
In leonine ermine so tawny and
The ass, full of himself, struts
down toe street.
The liou pne day strolling aim-
lessly around,
Spied the gaudy hybrid taking in
- ; the town,
And admonished him mildly in a
modulated tone.
To stop this cavorting and his
identity make known.
The asinine quadruped such a
n dude and a swell,
Then wished the mentioned
breeches were i o ah well!
He turns quickly around and be-
- comes very pale, y ;
Aud Ip and behold! there appears
a tail;.

The kangaroo is an "amoosin

'No other game will be played

And to catch the good ball they

The Masons, you know, gave a
dinner oue day,
And ball players .were invited

One of the clubs, I've been told,1
to the bat never went, " " .

And ot it the 27th there seemed a

REMARKS OF HONp. M. SIMMONS
, - Tuesday, July 17, 1888
Mr. Simmons eaid: Mr. Chair
man,, my absence when the
amendment offered . by my col
league, Mr. Johnston, for repeal
of the internal revenue system
was .under consideration, is my
excuse for now . troubling the
Hop8e with some general remarks
upon the subject oi that amend
mnt, - . i- ' ; y
I am, as I said in tho coomo nf
my remarks submitted to this
House during the month of May,
in favor of tho total repeal of ev
ery part and parcel of that odious
system, and so are the people of
the State .which I in part repre
sent here. But anxious as I am
for the repeal of this
the removal of the restrictions
it which imposes upon the liberty
of the. individual citizen and upon
the commerce of the country, I
tecognize the fact, as do. many
other gentlemen upon this side of
he House, who agree with me in
wishing . its abrogation", that un
der present financial conditmns
its repeaPat this tine is uot only
Impracticable, but out of the
qustinn;
t it must bo manifest to every
mind should the Government
surrender the $120,000,000 annu
alfywdeiived from this source,
with an annm l surplus of lew
than' 870,000,000. there would be
a; deficit in the Treasury as. tin?
end ot the present fiscal year of
fqlly ?5O,O0O,OOO.
i Of course no party responsible
fpr the legislation ox the country
can be expected deliberately to
provide for a deficit of 'such pro
portions, or by cod legal enact
ment to invite financial disaster.
But worse than this, if tliis sys
tem should be-1 tota!ly abolished
there would be no room, even to
the extent of a Dennv for tha re
duction of the extravagantly hgh
aqd utjust taxes now imposed by
av.ivuo nuu iuciuuuutu ianu law
upon the uecessaries of , lire con
sumed In evei v huusehold in th
land. When it 'comes to "mp. si
has now come to me, to choose
between cheap whiskev and
cheaper food and clothes for the
masses ot the peopl (which nlu
means larirer coin for ti ritul h,fr
cduaitionl, do not iiiorafiry, hu-
..wiii.j .iinu nnunu jioucy rcqHirc
that 1 should make choice in t'nv
or of the latter? (Applausn uu
the Democratic aide.)
in so choojiug, the Dcmocmtic
party does not ubate one ' iota u
opposition to the iuteriiul revctiue
system nor its fixed dctertuiiia-
tion to release the peonlo tnmi U
operation at. Uie earliest nHsiblu
niuiueiii. -tm
satisfied when the people
nave come to understand, that
this bill removes $24,000,000 of
ine iju,uuu,UUli of taxes now lev-
V4 uwuii Mjuucuo, inai, li repeals
theMiccnse taxes, .aiiil.that.it
greatly modifies the mauhinerv if
the system, elfctuolly providing
many in iuo vexatious
and aunoyauces which have here
tofore rmarked its enforcement,
theyj will accept, if not with satis
faction, at least good grace, the
stepwhich it makes in the direc
tion of the repeal of the whole
system. (Applause ou the Dem
ocratic side.) They will accept it
m:mu corneal on me pan ot. the
Democratio; party that they will
TepeAI the whole system when the
opportunity offers. ,
From'the'Republican party we
have j nothing to expect: That
party, not only inaugurated this
system of taxation, after a disuse
of more than forty years, but .has
daring the entire -period of its su
premacy in this , country main
tained it, with certain exceptions,
iff favor of capital, banks, manu
facturers and insurance companies
i If the platform of that party,
recently ' adopted at Chicago, nn.
on this subject is stripped of its
viiouisd uu uujeciea 10 a iair
and honest interpretation .it will
be Tduhd :to rbe a declaration
against the repeai of this system,
as well as a declaration In . favor
ot high tariff taxation! Fairly
interpreted : that platform means
that ' the tax upon whiskey will
never j be. surrendered so long as
that party "can : prevent jt, and
then only as a last resort to pre-
serve lis unnoiy system ot protec
tive taxes. Here the hammerfell.l
i Onmqtioir of Mr. McMlllin,
Mf.- Simmbns was allowed to pro.
deed five' minutes jonger. . ,
Mr.! Simmons. The .reasons
which exist and which have bceii
urged with such" overpowering"
tbrceby ! the' Way a .and Means
Committee against the totui re
peal of the internal revenue sys
tem cannot, I think, with justice,
bo urged against the-amendment
of the gentleman from Virginia,
Mr. a Wise, f to remove f tho tax
from cigars, cigarettes and che
rootJ, nor against tho amendment
of Jbe gentleman from Pcnosyl
.ania, Mr. Snowdeu, for the re
peal of the tax ppon fruit brandy.
, The rerenoe at preeut received
by the Government from the tax
es imposed upon the tniclcs cov
ers J by these nmcnrimnnii
amounts to but little over $7,000
rjaratiTely small amount, and I
believe it can r bo ttirrendereil
without '. inconvenience to the
Government or. perceptibly in
terfering with the DemocrUc
policy of reducing taxes cpon ne
cesaities.' I have beer surpriiod'at some
of the; arguments advanced on
- t v uuiu. iuii is a com
J these two amendments. CcYtaia
ootn s'dea of this Hooje against
centlemen of inn WW nr f
Commilteo tell cs that there is no
way of distinguishing between
whiskey and brandy, and it tho
tax is retained upon the one and
removed from tho other frauds
will he rife, and the whole system
demoralized. I thiuk tho gentle
men underrate the delicate taste
of our deputy interual-reveuue
collectors. 'With the system of
detectives, espionage and surveil
lance which the Government em
p!oys in this svstera, I cannot be
lieve that the fraud of subititotiu
whiakey and brandy one which
will prove too formidable for the
Government. If .there is no scU
entitle teat (aud my irieud from
Tetiuesetj says there is notie) for
detecting the adulteration; of
whUkey with brandy we may with
good reason hope, if tho amend
ment of my friend from PenruyN
vanni prevails, inventivo geuius
will bo stimulated, and una will
in due time bo discovered.
. Tim 'ptHiitioti of our Bepubli
can friends to the repeal ot the
tax on cigar nnd cigarettes is the
same old aruttteut rhiclt Wo are
accustomed to hear Irom them
duriu the last two moutlis.
The gentleman from New York,
Mr. Farquar, informs the- Houe
ii uiee tAXraare repeal eU it will
iniircerhiiu lare fctdriea in hi
State, and throw their employees
out of work. How much same
nei lucre 14 in tho arguments of
themj gentlemen. If we propoie
to reilueo tlirtxt taxes we are gain
Uirvatttetl witlr caJnmxties. Do
the jcentlemeii mean to aav that
high taxes beget prosperity? Do
th-j ineau ti say that every in .
duntry mut be fostered by taxin
its prixluct?
I have uo doubt the larger man
ufacturers of cigarf and cigarettes
are benefited by-this tax and that
they are loath to give up this ad
vantage. The great whiskey rings
are likewise, no doubt, benefited
by keeping the tax upon the poor
man's orchard and suppressing
the competition which would bo
the result of distillation of the
fruits of those orchards, but nei
ther the small manufacturers of
cigars and cigarettes nor thopro
ducera of the weed out of which
they are made, nor tho poor man
who owns an orchard in the dis
tricts of my colleagues and myself
are benefited by theso taxes.
Let us bo done with arguing in
favor of these millionaire manu
facturers and these great whisky
rings and combination, and let
us do for once some sort of justice
t j the small dealers, who are net
tber able nor disposed to combine
Into unlawful trusts or to influ
ence legislation for the advance
nientot their selhsa in Urea is.
I hope both the amendment for
tho repeal ot the tax on cimra-ete.-
and tho amendment for tho remov-
el of taxes on fruit braudiej will
prevail.
