It did not last long, however, | and only reached an average of 36 per cent. Then came another Fevival of | revenue reform, and the Walker tariff | of 1846 was passed after a very bitter contes' by the casting vote in the sen- ate of Vice President Dallas, of this | state. At first the Walker tarifl’ was received in the manufactaring districts | as if it had been the death-knell of all | industries, In Pittsburg the feeling! was so intense that Vice President | Dallas was hung and burnt in effigy on top of Monument hill in Alleghe- | ny, and the general talk of the protect- | ed patriots, as it is just now, was that idleness, beggary and want would be its sure fruits. A very few years | showed how far wrong they were, It is safe to say that everything prosper | ed under the tariff of 1846 and 10 years | after it passed both Democrats and | lepublicans came together and still | further reduced its rates by the tariff} ef 1857, under which the average of | duties went down to 19 per cent. It! was the only non-partisan tariff of the | last 70 years. Mr. Seward, speaking | of the vote in the senate on this “free | trade” tariff, said that “the vote of not a single senator was governed by any partisan consideration whatever.” Mr. Blaine in his “Twenty Years” says that under the tariffs of 1846 and 1857 there was abundant revenue; that | manufactures flourished, and that in a short time opposition to these laws practically ceased. The tariff ques tion went out of politics, Then came the civil war, with the necessity of increased revenues and | every metaod of taxation was resorted to. Talk of Democratic tariff tinker ing, the tariffs of 1845 and 1857 are the | only ones they have made in the last | half century, while the Republicans froma their first tariff law of 1761 to the McKinley law of 1890 have passed no less than 26 separate tariff bills. There is tinkering for you. And the strik- | ing fact is that the heaviest war taxes imposed fall short of the extortion of | the McKinley tariff 25 years after the war. There was a constantly ascend- | ing scale of customs taxation for the creation of trusts and monopolies, In 1883 the Republicans appointed a | tariff commission, made up exclusive | ly of protectionists, to revise the tariff, Mr. H. W. Oliver, of this city, was undoubtedly the most influential and important member of this commis. | sion. It traveled over the country and made a thorough examination of all industries through the testimony of those conducting them. As a re sult Mr. Oliver and his commission unanimously reported that the then existing duties ought to be reduced 20 to 25 per cent. The duties then in force for the most part were less than those of the present McKinley tariff, Except as to raw materials, the New York Evening Post says, the Wilson bill is not on the whole more radicai than the tariff commission bill of 1883, ' although ns to single items there may be decided differences, We have had no opportunity of making an examin- ation and therefore suggest that Mr. Oliver has the floor, On one item much in controversy, that of tin plate, the tarifY of 1883 proposed a duty of 35 per cont. whilethe Wilson bt gi receives the President's warmest sup- port for liberal pension ; the payment of fees to United States attorneys, tice to the pensioner. lelative to Brazilian affairs the Pres ident says the Insurgents have no army needs reorganization.

The Republicans in their cancus con- cluded there should be no dilatory tac- ties displayed by them against any measure Democrats may bring forwand for consideration.
