On that list.he said, had been placed articles amounting to $20,000,000. The largest was wool, from which $6,390,000 was re ceived. When the Democrats wished to pat wool on the free list they were charg ed with breaking the middle link out 0: the chain. The gentlemen who were charging the Democratic side of the House with bringing in a free trade measure had taken the duty off cotton and put that article on the free list Had they stricken out the middle link of a chain 1 . When it was proposed to put wool on the free list it was charged that the Democrats were striking the 1J? i 1 1 . eomoinauon wnicn nas maae tne pro tective tariff, and that they should not touch wool. The first tariff ever f ram ed in this Government after the Con' stitntion was adopted embraced in its title a declaration of the principle of encouragement to home industries, and it proposed to encourage home indus tries by putting wool on the free list The next large&t-itetn tin the free list was tiuplate, from which a duty of $7, 700,000 was received. 2s ot a pound of. this tinplate was made in the United States. The industry did not give a man employment in this country, "and the placing of the article ou the free list would not take a dollar from any man ufacturing establishment. Tinplate could be found in the home of every poor man, and the committee proposed to remove the duty and put $5,000,000 back into the pockets of the poor people of the eouutry. If that was free trade, make the most of it. The next item was salt. Salt had first been put on the free list by Thomas Jefferson. God in his beneficence had made salt for man and beast, and it ought not to be taxed ; but because n few people were interest ed in the salt monopoly the members of the Committee on Ways and Means were branded before the people of the United States as bein& free traders be cause they wanted to give back to the people this bounty on an article which God had prepared for them. DCTY OS COTTON TIES. The duty on cotton ties, which, were placed on the free list, amounted to $121,000. It was charged that the bill was sectional because it placed cotton ties on the- free list. Did gentlemen from the 'Northwest ever think that when they abolished this $121,000 of taxation they enabled the poor people of the South to bay more of their horses.their bacon and thedr flour. Just in proportion as the people of the North west overtaxed their countrymen of the South and crippled their capacity to buy they crippled their own capacity to sell In placing zante currants, which grew in but one spot in the whole world, on the free list the Democrats were charg ed with being free traders. Gentlemen on the other side said yon must tax the people on their clothes, on their food, on their employment of labor, and if GUTHRIE HOUSE. Rutherfordton, N.

Rates reasonable. W. S. GUTHRIE, 36-tf. . ' Proprietor; Applause and laughter on the Demo cratic side. HEMP AND JCTE. Hemp and jute had been placed on the free list to the amount of $1,700,000. Gentlemen on the other side said that this would ruin the flax and kevap in dustry. For years an attempt Jaad been made to establish that industry bere ; but notwithstanding all the milk that, was given this ba,be it refused to pros-' per. The hemp business was dying; it soon must disappear, and therefore hemp had been placed upon the free list. ' The duty on opium.which amount ed to $467,000, had been removed. Not an ounce of it was growu in the United States, but gentlemen on the other side did not want opium touched. It was the tax on whiskey they wanted reduced, and not on opium. No industry would be hurt because cheap medicine was given to the suffering and dying. Os trich feathers had been placed upon the free list. Ostriob.es were not found on the Western prairie or iu the Northern forests, but our beautiful females want ed ostrich, feathers in their bonnets, and they would want some when Groyer Cleveland shall be inaugurated on the 4th of March next. DUTY ON WOOLEN GOODS. Returning to the woolen schedule, Mr. Mills said that the bill proposed to re duce the duties on woolen goods and take the tax off the wool that was not raised by skilled labor and eireely by any labor at all Jt ffrew on the sheep The sheep produced it. He had heard much, sympathy expressed for the sheep The Democratic party's sympathy was for men, not sheep. Applauae. J proposed to bring down the price of woolen clothing so that the poor people could get it to wear in winter time The people to day were compelled to wear carpet wool instead ot clothing wool, and now the wool growers and wool manufacturers came to an agree ment taat the duty should be so high' that no wool and no woolen goods could be brought in. He supposed that the people could afford to go naked, but tor him and his party he would say "Wear good clothes and wte the Dem ocratic ticket." wool had been put upon the free list not only to cheapen the clothing of the people, bat in order that our workmen might have the mak ing of the $44,000,000 worth ot aroolen goods that were imported inta this country. It was proposed to let all the wool the people required come in ttee and let our own people make the wooi- en goods. This would increase the demand for labor, and in thus inereasiner the' de mand for labor increase the rate wages. The great central truth in this bill was that it was & bill to benefit the condition and incrense the wages of the laboring people. We were the- greatest j. . - , . 1 J , 3 1 miiuuiacturmg people in rue wona,tne greatest agricultural people in the world, the most intelligent and smartest and best looking people in the world and all we wanted was 'or our Govern- met to take it meddling band out of our business.

It was time that the poor people should be considered in the reduction of taxation. TJie taxes had been removed from incomes; from manufactures, from railroads, trom tel ephone and telegraph companies, ana from express companies, and now the Democratic party came upon the stand and said that it intended to help the man in the log house on the prairie and give hiin free lumber. The duty on burlaps was $979,000. Every yard of burlaps was made abroad and the duty brought money into the country which wa3 not needed. It was better that the people who used burlap should have the money the Government did not'need. It was in juring the pros perity of the country ,nnd the Democrats proposed to place bnrlaps on the free list. For doing this they were charged with being free traders.
