[Great laughter and ap- plause on the Democratic side. | FREE LUMBER—CHEAP HOMES, Here is lumber. We have put it on the free list to shelter the people in the Northwest from the terrible and rigorous climate of that region. We Democrats say to our poor people it is ume lor you to be considered. Prior Congresses have released the taxes on panks, the tax on domestic manufactures, the tax on railroads, the taxes on telegraph companies, the taxes on express companies and the taxes for buying snd selling ex- changes. All the wealth of the coun- try has been released, now the Demo- eratic party is agaio doing business at the old stand and srys we intend to hunt the men who are living in sod bouses and give them free lumber. [Applaose.] Well, we foond ostrich feathers with a tax of $2507. There are no ostriches in this country. This is not yet an infant industry in the United States, Ostriches are not found on the western prairies, nor in the north- ern woods, nor slong the Gulf coast, but our ladies want to wear the os. trich feathers sometimes in their bon- vets, and we do not need the money, and why should we pot let them come in free? When we again insugurate Grover Cleveland on the 4ub of March next we will waot all the ostrich feathers to adoro the hats and bonnets of our ladies as they join in the procession and keep up with the bsod wagon.

I see from the public prints that money is being poured into the district I repre- sent aud all the elementsof opposition are organizing and mustering for the fray ; but I want to say to them here, once for all, that the people of the Nioth Congressional district of Texas are not for sale! [Great applause on the Democratic side. ] I have political enemies in my dis- trict ; there are men there who have given me many hard blows in former contests, which I bave riturned in| | kind.

Bat all the tortures of the In- quisition could not induce them to ex- change their manhood for money and all the money that can be extorted from the combination could not buy one of their votes. (Applause) THAT SUIT OF CLOTHES. Mr. Speaker, before I conclude I want to refer to the celebrated suit of clothes which the gentleman from Obio (Mr. McKinley) exhibited to the House during the delivery of bis speech on the 17th of May. In the speech which I made in the opening of this debate, I said if a laborer who was earning $1 a day finds a suit of clothes which he could buy for $10 without the tariff tax, the suit could he procured by ten days’ work, but if Congress, at the instance of the manu- facturer, puts a duty of ove hundred per cent. on the clothes, he would be required to work tweoty days to get the same suit. - The gentleman from tiosl with the suit of and which he said Lie » £ i 1 Bias i rE i it : : 3 £ | Ee : J : : Ey ’ : } H; a= i 3 suit for ten dollars with the help of the tariff. These are the facts about your suit of clothes. I am told that suit of clothes is to be photographed and sent out as a campaign document. All I ask is that the fact be photo- graphed on the brain of every voter that the actual cost of thut suit was less than five dollars, and that the tarifl made it cost teo dollars’ worth of labor to purchase it, and but for the tariff it would bave cost only five | dollars. [Applause | My friend from Ohio when refer ring to this subject said it was ‘the old, old story” that he had read in Adam Swith. This reminds me of the incident in regard to the boy who had stolen his brother's marbles: The little fellow who had been wronged weot to his mother in tears and said: “ Brother has stolen all my marbles.” The mother, addressing the culprit, said: “ My sow, don’t you know you have done wrong? Don’t you know the Lord will be angry with you for taking your brother's property with out his consent?! Yon found him asleep snd you rifled his pockets. Are you bot ashamed of yourselt? Don’t you know you have dove very wrong! Dun't the bible say, ‘Thou shalt pot steal?’” * Yes, mother,” the boy replied, * that is the old, old story ; Moses suid that four thousand | years ago.” (Laugbter.) THE OLD STORY OF THE STRONG AND THE WEAK. Yes, Mr. Speaker, it is the old, old story. The story of wrong and op- pression. The story of the strong spoiling the weak. It is the old story that bas come down to us through all the age. We are commanded ne t to steal nor to take our brother's goods by wrong, but to do unto him as we would have him dounto us, We stand here to-day iu the eyes of the Ameri can neopie, and in their name, and | demand that the government ehall stop taking their property and giving it to others; shall stop taking their money not needed for the support of | the government.
