Tbo Pension Agent at Chioagn is
Mrs. Marian A. MoHican, widow of
Col. Mallican, who was killed at Win
cheater, Va., in 1864. For three years
she has administered the affairs of her
responsible office with remarkable suc

000 has passed through her hands
Every quarter she signs from 40,000
to 50.000 oheoks. Mrs. Mulligan is
vorv fine looking woman, with a well
rounded figure, dark, beaming eyes and
an attractive face. Her hair is almost
white.
It was in 18G8 that John Sherman
said: "Every advance toward a froe ex.
change of commodities is an advance
in civilization; every obstruction to a
free ezohango is born of the same nar

castles uppn the Rhine to plunder
peaoeful commerce; every obstruction
to commerce is a tax upon consump
tion; every facility to a free exchange
cheapens commodities, increases trade

The Philadelphia Times (Ind.) does
not believo that there will be any ptvo
tal Stalo in the present contest, and
thinks that the next President will
have enongh electorial votes without
New York. The decision is in the
hands of the independent voters, the
Times thinks, and it estimates that
they will number a million this year.
where four years ago their number
reached only 250,000. "How will
these men vote in November?'' asks the
Times. "They will not be bought:
they will not bo coeroed; they will not
respond to the party bugle call; they
will vote as their iudgement Bhall dic
tate, and the issue will be decided as
they shall vote."

As Spoken Truly in 1833.
Now, gentlemen there has been con
siderable said on the question of the
tariff, and theie is an attempt to lead
the workingmen to vote the Republi
can ticket upon the ground that if
there is any chancre in the tariff there
will bo a lowering in the wages, and
they justify raising more tban $100,
000,000 more than is necessary by tax
ation in order to have protection. I
am opposed to all that, and the as
sumption is not true. I have stated
the matter preoisely in my letter but I
want to state it again to you working
men. A tariff or any other tax com
ing directly out of tho people, out of
the prod) cers, should be no larger
than tho economical expenditures of
the Government strictly require, and if
any man undertakes to tax you more
than that, ho'simply robs you under
promise of law, and having got tho
money badly he spends it badly. All
needed protection to American iudus
tries, all needed protection to Ameri
can labor, can bo had under tuch an
economio revenuo tariff.
The tariff was mado for war pur
poses, in war times and as a war tax,
and it ought to have been revised
fifteen years ago; yes, almost twenty
yeaes ago, certainly fifteen. Why

"Unfelt" Taxes.
Gen, Harrison echoes the theory con
cerning tariff taxes, that "they are tak
en so indirectly and so subtly that
these, our plain people, don't know
that they are paying them at all."
Very true, but this balance-sheet at
tho end of tho year shows the payment
nevertheless. Docs a man notj; feel
any payment of taxes except that
which bears the tax-colloctor's receipt!
uan no go on year attcr year paying
47 tariff on every $100 of imported
goods that he buys and not miss the
money! Though he may "not know
that he is paying them," tho losi
just as real.
It is a pity that the enhancement
in
price by reason ot the tariff of
dutiable articlo sold could not
every
bo in
cluaea in mo mil. The oonsumers
would tben see what they aro paying,
ana wouia maxe snort work ot any
tariff that exacted from them $100,-
000,000 a year in excess of tho needs
of the Government, which tho politi
cal agents of the beneficiaries under
take to spend in order to prevent a ro
duetioo of their bounties.
Tho tariff taxes "so indirectly and
so subtly" collected that tho "plain
people" may not know they aro paying
them. Rut pay them those people do,
all the same, as their morteace-nlaiter-
ed farms and pinching economies ought
to prove to mem. There are no "un
felt" taxes except to tho rioh. World,

his administration, nnd then proceeded
as follows to tho discussion of tho tar
iff issue:
"1 prcsumo there Is not a person
within tho sound of my voico who does
not know what is meant by tho tariff.
And yet it may aid us to-day if I givo
a clear and preciso uennition of what a
tariff is. A tariff, my friend, is noth
ing in the world but a tax a tax lov-
led by the gonerai government upon
every article of commerce that comes
into tbo united States and that is in
tended for sale within her borders,
and which incidentally raises the prico
and therefore becomes a tax or a bur
den upon every artiolo of domestio
manufacture of a like naturo with those
which pay tho tariff tax.
the peoples money iackkd Dr.
"jnow we nave at this moment, ac
cording to the last adviocs I havo seen
$115,000,000, called surplus revenue
that is taxes collected lrom tho pooplo
oeyona tno necessities ot tho govern
ment.
"Those dollars $115,000,000 aro
lvinir perfectly idle in the vault of the
Treasury of tho United States, of no
service to any human being, drawing
no mieres', earning no profit, but tak
en from the pockets of the people
wnero tney properly boloncr, and
where, if they were not found, thous
ands and tens ot thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of tho pooplo of tho
United States would put tnera to good
use and improve their condition and
prosperity.
"Now, t the Democratic party says
that this is a wrong condition of af
fairs; that that money ought not to bo
like the talents of tho man we are told
ot in the Scriptures, buried in the
ground; that this is a very poor use to
make of the money of the people, and
tnereiore ine uemocratio party says
that this surplus revenue, which is pro
duced in the main by theso tariff taxes,
ought to bo reduced and that tho taxes
should be reduoed so that this surplus
will not continue to accumulate. (Ap
plause) Our opponents, on the other
Hand, say it is belter to let tho surplus
accumulate; it is better to take the
money from the pocketa of the people
it is better to pile it up in the vaults of
the Treasury Department; although it
does no good whatsoever and is a great
uariu, it u ueuur to ao that than to
touch tho tariff laws of the United
States. We say, on the contrary, to
relievo an overtaxed people is to re
duce the taxes; we say that tho way to
treat a people honestly, fairly and wise
ly is to take no more taxes out of their
pockets than the government actually
neens xor us expenditures. (Applause.)
"1 ho issue, then, is fairly made up
between high taxation on the ono hand
and reasonable taxation on tho other.
It is betweon taking the money of the
peoplo out of their own control, out of
their own pockets and burvincr it in
tho cellar of the Treasury Department;
or it is between leaving the money
where it belongs, in the pockets of the
people, to be used by them as their
wants require and as their intelligence
and honesty direct"
Hero a gentleman on tli6 platform
raised an umbrella to keep tho sun
from the speaker's face, but was unable
to do so. Judge Thurman noticed it
and said: "Well, nover mind; the sun
never hurt a Democrat, anyway.
(Laughter and applause.)
"Wow, my mends, in tho long politi-
tical life that I have led I have heard
a great many false pretences preached
to the people, a great many intended
to deoeivo and delude them, but in all
my life I havo never witnessed suoh
audacity as i nave noticed this year on
the advocates of high protective tar
iff never beforo. And there soems
to be a singular disregard of the truth
that has suddenly, afflicted them. I do
not intend to call people hard names.
I have all my life tried to koep a civil
tongue in my head, and I mean to
keep it as long as I livo,but I do say
that tome people sometimes seem to
lose their souses so that they oannot
seo tho truth, and often, unfortunately,
cannot speak it. (Applause.)
"JSow just think of it for ono mo
ment. Wo aro told that high tariff
makes the country riohor, as if it were
possible to make a country rtoher by
oppressively taxing tho people. (Ap
plause.) Ain t that a new way to make
a man rich! To run your hand into
his pocket and take oat what you find
tnero anu tuat wituoui any just reason

IIIOII TARIFF BCOOPERS AT WORK.
Judge Thurman was interrupted at
this point by the banding up of a note
and said: Gontlemen, I am afraid
there is some high protectionists in this
audience, for a note is sent up to read
as follows: 'A lady has just bad her
pocket picked and she thinks it is these
high tariff sooopers' I believo it is, or
Borao word. I hopo that high tariff
fellow who has taken tho lady's moti
ey will bo caught and mado to refund
before ho leave Port Huron. (Great
lauuhter and cheering.)
"Now, ray friends, if you will reflect
for a moment you win boo that It
necessarily tho case that tho tariff
taxes are paid by the oonsumers of the
article whloh are taxed, and oi ail ao-
moslio articles of a like kind which aro
manufactured in the United States.
For it is a curious f not, and ouo of tho
worst things about this tariff tnx, that,
while tho government gets $1 lesultlng
from tho tax, tho domestio manufact
urers got $5, as it is best cstimatod,
that nover get into tno Treasury at all.
(Great chcoring.)
FACTS AND FMURKRS.
"Tbo amount of goods importod in
to tlio United States of dutiablo
goods in tho year 1887, the last yoar
ot wmoh wo nayo any roturns, woro in
value $450,325,322. Tho tariff duties
oollectcd wero $212,032,421. Thoro
were, therefore, in that siuglo yoar
taxes levied in tho United Statos by
tho operation of tho tariff law of
$212,032,424, which went into tho
Treasury of the United Statos. But
that, as I havo told you, was tho least
part of tho burden. Tbo domestio
manufactures of tbo samo kind of com
modities amounted to $G,3G9,000,000,
and as tbo prico of thoso goods was
rained bv tho tariff in noarlv cnual pro
portions to the prico of tho goods that
wero imported into tno country, tno
amount whloh tho people paid in theso
high prices of what thoy had to buy
and had to uso, amounted to about $1,
000,000,000, or to about fivo times ns
much as tho tax received by tho gov
crnment for tho uso of tho government.
In other words, tho whole oountry was
taxed about ono thousand million dol
lars for the benefit of a comparatively
small portion of the country. And
that is said to bo justioe, that is Baid
to bo fair play, that is said to bo for
tho benefit of tbo American peoplo.
Why don t thoy carry it out! Why
don't they, when thoy find in Port
Huron a lawyer I think I may namo
them because I am a lawyer myself
when they find one, the prooeeds of
whose profession don't afford him and
his family a oomfortablo support why
don't they tax you all for his benoht,
so as to protoot him! Or when they
nnd a doctor whoso incotno is not sum
ciont to support him nnd his family,
why don t they tax all tho peoplo ot
Port Huron in order to add to the
wealth of that doctor! And so on
with everything olso. Why don't thoy
do it! And they do tax a man, or did
tax him and do yet pretty highly
sometimes on tho medicioo that ho is
obliged to tako. I remember ono of
the most satisfactory votes that I oast
when in the Senato ot the United
States was to abolish the tax on qui
nine, so that a man with tho fever and
ague could havo his quinine without
boing robbed of his moans of subsis
tence. (Applause.)
"I know there aro n few oases, but
tbey aro very fow and exceptional and
not of sufficient importance) to make it

in which the duty of tariff tax is not

so trifling in amount and insignificant
that it is not necessary that 1 should

principal, the general faot is that this

CHEERS FOR THE JUDGE 8 BANDANA.
The speaker was interrupted at this
poiut by cheering and applause, whioh
followed his producing a bandana
handkerohief. He turned tho occasion
to profit by giving: "Well, gentlo
men. this is a good, honest handker
chief, and I could have bought it
good deal oheaper if it had not been
for the tariff tax. (Great laughter and
cheering.)
Now there are men who say the con
sumer don't pay the tax. I have said
that that is a most audacious assertion,
and I have tried to show you that he
must neoessarily pay tho tax. But if
they want authority on that subject let
mo roier to some men who havo Bpoken
upon it and whose word will hardly be
gainsaid.
Judgo Thnrman then procooded to
quoto in favor of his position from the
record of John (jmncy Adams as chair
man ot the Hon so committee on
Manufactures iu 1832; from President
Arthur's annual message to tho Con
gress of 1882 83, in which ho recom
mended an enlargement of the free
list, ne continued:
"President Garfield Baid in tho
Houso of Representatives on March
10, 1871: 'I was surprised at a remark
of the distinguished gontleman from
Miohigan. (1 do not know who that
distinguished gentleman was, but he
was a Michigander.) He asserted that
there is no item in tho wbolo tariff
that can stand alone on its merits, but
all must be taken in a lump in order
to stand. That coal must tako salt by
the hand and they, too, must take
something by the band,- and thus all
interests unite with all forces before
they can make a stand before the
country. If this remark be true it
strikes a blow at the whole tariff sys
tem, a blow I am not willing to strike.
1 am unwilling to admit that bad taxes
mu-tbe tied to good ones and thus be
kept afloat. I think it is unwise to
oontinne this duty on coal and I am
therefore in favor of its repeal."
TARIFF INCREASES, I1UT NOT WAGES.
"The tariff has been raised again
and again and again. It was immense
ly raised by tho tariff of 18G1 or '62
, target which ot these years it was.
It was raisod in a few years again, and
it has been raised again and again and
again, and yet in all that timo I have
hever been ablo to find tbo manufact
urer or capitalist who upon raising tho
tariff has increased tho prico paid to
Ihb laborers. If there was such a caso
it has escaped tho attention of every
body, even ot thoso diligont nowspap
er men, who gather up all the news,
and sometimes a great deal that is not
news at all. (JUerriment.) But they
navo nevor ueon-aoio to unci that man

prices paid bis laborers bocauae the
tariff was increased.
iUt.it mi, frlorwlt. I, l.n,l f
twenty-Boven yoarsiiearlv tho hoaviest
tariff this oountry over know, fully on
an average twico as high as it was be
tore the war; we havo bad that high
tariff all this timo. Now, if that high
tariff is so much for tho benefit of the
laboring men, why have not the labor
ing men in mese twenty-seven years
crown rich I should 'like to know!
Havo they' (Cries of No! Nol) If
they hayo thoy are very unreasonable
mon, for not a year passes over our
heads that wo do not hear of strikes of
tho laborers becnuso thoy demand
more wages and Bay they cannot live
on wbat they receive. Again and
agaiu wo hoar of what is called look
outs that is, where tho employers
suspend operations and look up their
mills because they say thoy cannot af
ford to pay more wages than thoy did

aro there such institutions as labor un
ions! Why is thcro such an institution
as tho Knights of Labor! To prevent
laboring men from being imposed upon

Why is there a necessity for all theso
things and all these extensile and
worthy organizations if a high tariff
gives high wages to tho laborer. No
man can answer that question satisfac
tory ovon to himself.
"But whilo I am on tho stibjcot of
tho laboring men let mo add thoy say
that tho tariff does not. raiso tho prico.

I1 rom this point the spoakcr pro
ceeded to show that the Republican
polioy of protection works injury rath
er than good to tho negrooi of the
South.
I. A llOIl AND WAGES.
Judgo Thurman next took up tho
question of wages in America as com
pared with other countries, and said
that tho faot of wages being higher
hero than in England, taken in connec
tion with thu faot that thoy aro higher
in tho nowor portions of tho United
States than. in tho older, proves that
tho more dense tho population tho
greater tho competition among wngo
earners nnd tho lower tho wages, and
tho reverse of tho proposition, tbo less
the compotion among wage earners
the higher tho wages. Ho was willing
to admit that, as a general rule, labor
is paid higher wages in America than
it is in other countries, but what aro
the reasons for it! In tho first placo it
is moro eflcotivo in this country. An
American laborer makes moro in tho
samo time; all authorities admit that.
All of them agree that his superior in
dustry, his superior skill, his superior
diligence, onablos htm to produoo moro
in the samo time than does the laborer
in any other country in tho world. It
is therefore, moro offeotive hero than
anywhere olso, and consequently can
bo bolter paid for. Again, Amerioan
laborers aro bettor educated, more in
telligent than tho laborers elsewhere
and theroforo can better tako caro of
their own interests. That is a princi
pal reason why thoy aro better paid in
this uountry than elsowhero.
In regard to tho wages earned in
protected and unprotected industries
tho speaker said: "I think the highest
estimate I have seen placed upon tho
laborers in theso protcotcd industries
is at between eight and nino thousand
mon, womon and children. Bnt I will
put it at a million and say thore are a
million of them, whilo there aro eight
times as many other laborers whoso in
dustries and occupations aro in no
wiso protected bv tho tariff, and thore
fore. if proteotion is for tho bonefit of
tho laboring men tho wages of this
million of men engaged in tbo protect
ed industries ought to bo higher than
the wages of mon employed in the un
protected industries, and yet suoh is
not tho fact. In round numbers the
laborers in unprotected industries re
ceive as high wages as those in the
protected industiies. I do not know
what tho wages of farm hands aro
here in Michigan. In my own stato
thoy aro about a dollar a day for farm
hands, and in tho State of Massaobu
setts, according to tho returns of our
own board, tbey are 1.04 in manutao
tnring industries, bo that there is
praotically no differonco whatever
worth talking about between tho wages
ho receives and the wages that tho
other receives. They are both sub
stantially tho same."
DEPRECIATION
OF THE
WEALTH.
AGRICULTURAL
The depreciation of tho agricluutral
wealth of the country under tho tariff
system was next leferrod to at length .
"You oan't sell unless you buy that is,
for what you give you must tako some
thing in exchange' tho speaker said
"No nation ever sold for cash. A pol
ioy of non-intercourse with other na
tions would destroy tho groat agricul
tural interests of tho country, which is
paramount to all restrictions put upon
it by tho presnnt tan it laws, which
well nigh paralyzed it by destroying
commorco and cutting off our export
trade. During tho low tariff period
from 1850 to 1860 agriculture incroas
ed with great strides. During these
ten years farm values roso lrom its,
271,550,426 to over $0,000,000,000 or
103 per cent. During the next ten
years the values rose 40 per cont.
During tho next ten years more tariff
was added and the values roso only u

Iho farm values were $51,000,000. In
1860 it was $100,000,000, or 211 per

A correspondent (r. it.) of tho J'rcis
inqniror) of that journal as to his right
to voto. Ho Bays that he was born on
tho 7th of JTovcmbor, 1807, nnd wants
to know whether ho can voto on tho
Clh of November next, as ho is anx
ious to cast a ballot for Harrison and
Morton. The answer of tho J'ress is
that ho was "born ono day too lato."
Our contemporary inadvertently
docs injustlco to both its correspondent
and its pntty. A person bom on the
7th of Novombor, 1807, becomos
of 20 years of ago on the
Gth of Novembor, 1888. There aro
no fractions of days in law except in
cases of execution liens, etc, and a
person born any timo between mid
night and midnight of tho 7th of Nov
ember, 18C7, will bo, in law, 21 years
of ago at midnight of tho morning of
Novembor the 0, 1888; and if a male
citizen, can voto on ngo at tho election
on that day.
This question is raisod every yoar bv
more or less voters, and it has been uni
iformly dooided that a person becomes
21 years of ago on tho last day of tho
21 years after tho dato of birth. If
there were fractions' of days iu law, tho
caso would bo different, but tbero art
nono except in oasts specially provid
ed by statute.
A promissory nolo dated Novombor
Oth and payablo three months after
date, vould beoomn duo on the Gth,
ovclusivo of tlio 3 diy's grace, because
it is undo payablo three months after
date. If tho Constitution provided that
male citizons could voto twenty-ono
years after their birth, tho cae would
bo differi-ntj but it proyidos that thoy
shall vote, whon thoy attain the ago of
21 years, and that makes thorn of legal
ago on tho day beforo tho dato of their
birth. 2'imes
