He baa net heretofore publicly explained his reasons for voting as be did, but In re re re ponie te a rt quest by the Star he baa writ ten tbe following letter. He cites four ape ape clBe reasons) for supporting the bill, and olesoi by saying that " between taking the tariff off the necessaries et life and tbe In ternal revenue tax off tobacco and whisky, I shall vote for tbe former every tlme I get aohance." His letter liai fellows : . HCUSKOPKKPRltSKNTATlVES, ) WAsiiiisaTe:, July 23. j Te the Editor of the Star. Hiu In reply te yours of tbeUGthln slant, requesting my reasons for voting for the Mills tariff bill, I answer as fellow : Pits' It ia conceded by tbe representa tives of the Democrat le and Republican parties that the accumulation of a large aurplus et money In tbe national treasury Is fraught with danger te the business In terests of tbe country by withdrawing that medium from the channelsef trade, which, If net stepped, will cause a pante and result In bankruptcy te a large extent. Keine largely tinctured with the Greenback Idea mat money aneuiu de in circulation among the people and net cornered, and that money holds the same relationship te trade that a mechanic's tools de te the mechanic ; that by taking the same from the mechanic will cripple bis usefulness and ability in performing work ; and as tbe Mills bill held out Inducements te step this drain, and my Kopnbliean oelleaguea did net pre pose any uieasure te remedy the evil, I gave the bill my support. Seoend The bill prepsses te place several articles en the tree list that enter into tne necessatlcs of lire, such as lumber, salt, tin, wool and several ethers, aud a slight reduc tion, net exceeding en an average 5 per cent, en articles entering largely ou home consumption. Mew, se far as cheap and ires lumber is concerned, It ranks next te bread te the person who seeks te make a home en our great Western prairies, and no doubt it is the same In the East. Salt that bountiful gilt of nature why tax tbat 7 Tin pi ate 1b net made in this country, and it enters ae largely Inte our domestle usra and in canning the prod nets or our country. Of wool we de net produce half eneugh for home consumption, even with all the so se called tailll stimulation. Why compel our people te pay for terelgn-made woolen gnedp, with a tarlir tax added, when by permitting wool te enter our ports free, our manufacturers would be given aohance te previde with homemado goods, and there thero thore by gtve twice tbn amount el employment te wage workers ? My parsenal experlence has taught me tbat cneap raw material never reduced wages in a manufactory, but, en tbe contrary, it had the tendency te raise them. Third 1 de net bellove that a nation can be made prosperous or happy by taxation, nor aheuld a republican form of govern ment like outs exact from the people by taxa tlen mera than is actually required for an economical admlnstratlen et public all aire. Again, a large accumulation of money in the treasury breeds extravagance and be comes a factor of demoralization in many way p. it is in its aotien like malaria ; it enters the systen slyly until tbe whele body is poisoned. All taxation, of whatever kind or nature, rests upon the products of labor, for with our labor wealth cannot be pro duced, and, as the existence of civilized man rests upon the products et the soil, it is of the highest importance that legislation should be framed se as te place tbe least possible burden upon the tiller of tbe soil, thereby placing him in a position te aid his fellow laborer in the shop and factory by becoming a larger consumer et manufac tured articles, and vice versa. Again 1 find that In these states tbat are supposed te receive the benetlts of a protec tive tariff thore is mere dlssatlelactlen, strikes and lockouts then in states net be protected. There must be something wrong in our political machinery tbat has compelled the wage worker and also the farmerte erganlre In association a for protce tlen against extortion, abuse and wage re duction. It is a sad pleture te leek at, atter a century of constitutional existence. In conclusion I will say that between taking the tariff etf tbe necessaries et life and the internal revenue tax oil tobacco and whisky, I shall vete for the former every tlme 1 get a cbance. Cheap tobacco and whleky means mero domerall7atlon and drunkenness, and 1 cannot give oensont te tucii u measure. Very truly yours, Ueniiy Smith, M. O. A HIU ULUlt UP VKTKKVNS. The Gee. 11.
