Hon. 'JotiN WELSH presided over the meeting in the Academy of Music, JOSEPH PAT TERSON, Esq., in Hortleulturak Hall. Mr. WEi.sti spoke' briefly and was folloWed by Mr. ALEXANDER N. JONES. of the well-known firm- of POWERI & WEIGIITMAN. He address ed the large assemblage in the fol lowing language: =la i Address of Alexander 11. Jones, Elm Fellow-citizens i The few minutes allotted to me will not permit of any extended consideration, of the ques tion of - a - "Taritfjor revenue only "- t---and this is the special feature of the platform, or' declaration of. prin ciples of _the Democratic - party, to -which' would direct your attention -.--so that I am forced -to condense my remarks, and to be.-as Concise as possible. The Democratic party axows•-in language plain , and 'unmis takable; in terms bold,,specifie_ and unqualified, that it:is in favOr - of la tariff for revenue only. The word - 'only"' in his ease is quite important, -and perm s but one inference to be .drawn, lid cly, that the Democratic party is ipposed to custom duties levied for iirotection. Whoever votes the Democratic ticket, therefore, yews agaihst protecting home indus tries. A tariff for revenue only la :antagonistic to a tariff adjusted kir botkrevenue and protection. It aims, simply for revenue, and discards eve ry' consideration 'ot', proteetiOn; so that should any native industry be benefited' by duties, imposed upon foreign products, it is accidental o incidental protection, and not the re suit of ' design. Thei tariff unde which we have : worked for a nutabe of years past was arranged for the double - purpose of revenue and prep tection: to home industries, and - it has : fulfilled all• that was intended and predicted by .the framers of the bill. First, It ha's crested a revenue. More than one-half of the annual Treasury receipts are .now derived from 'customs duties. Second. It has protected home industries, so that we have been enabled to develop our-JcsourcEs, and diversifylour in dustries. Employment has been given to our own people; .we. have 'become to a great extent independent of foreigners, and the United States now occupies a prominent position among the great and powerful manu facturing nations of the world. Without - a protective tariff we nev er could have accomplished such great results. No nation is powerful that has not diversified industries, and no nation of modern timed ever diversified its industries except by protection. Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia are, all powerful nation.s They all have diversified industries, and they all' 'have tariffs more or ess protective, with the exception of Great Britain. Ireland and Turkey are examples of countries without diversified indus tries, and how they compare 'With :the great Powers of Europe. you `know full well. Great Britain, n'w the leading free-trade crusader or re former, is. butn recent convert, yet young ns a free-traded. Great Bri-. tai.n Wit up her industries by pro :tectionl; )bye-prohibiting the exporta tion of Wool-and other crude materi als; 'by prohibiting the expOrtation of machinery, and by prohibiting the importation of certain manufactured goods. Her revenue, laws were se vere in the . extreme, and involved loss of `property, maiming, iniprison meat, and even death, to the violators of them. 'Great Britain waited until it was thought expedient to' change her policy. - When cheap food, fuel and labor had been secured, manufacturing su premacy attained, and the markets of the world controlled, then, and not till then, did the people of Great Britain find ouLthat it had all : been gigantic blunder. Thenl,he oldest and worst sinner started out on a mission of converting the benighted ; then the free-trade crusade began ; then Great Britain aimed to be , the grand workshop of . the World, and other countries Were to 'be turned into immense wheat,fields and cow pastures We are told that protec l tion is a Pennsilvania idea, and not. demanded by the, other States: This is absolutely lalse. Protection is: denianded by people of every see: tion—north, south, east and. west . ; The sugar planters of Louisiana; the rice growers of South Carolina, the miners of copper" and. lead in the west, the wine producers of .Califor: War and., the cotton end woollen tainateattim - Now.

Pennsylvania, and thefarmers were never known; to' giumide because duties are im posed', on Wheat, flour, rye, oats and barley. •I biKe seen the representa tives of some Of these eastern, west ern and southirn industries before . the Committee of \Ways an' Meane laid Finance, at- Washington, advo cating their claims to prtection,and I knpw what I assert tote facts,and theylcannot be dlsOuted. \ • _ . . A' few years ago, when Hon. Will iam R. Morriscin ' , of Illinois, was chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, a.tariff bill was prepared under his direction, and a jarge min ber of articles . .were - placed . .on the free list. When the bill came up. for consideration' hr caltimittee, it was remarkable how soon some of them were restored to the dutiable list by pronounced tree-t'r'aders wherever they - were produced by their constit uents, t3O that sumac.had to - . have - a duty because it was a product of Vir ginia, and biehromate of potass be cause -it Was a 'Maryland industry, and so on.' I have heard a lOading member .from: Louisiana ' adVocate protection 'to sugar, and yet he, was' a doctrinaire free-trader. - 1 I have lis tenedtll) a free trade member from California urge higher duties on wine, to protect a California indus try, and yet he could make a ringing `speech So duties on, iron and steel. So that whether it be copper - or lead, sumac ;or bichrourate,of pota'ss, sugar dri rice, lamber, s alt, anything you please, wnen it comes to looking z after the inter6hs of.their constituents, even free-tmdemembers of Congress from all SCOtiollik arc protectionists for the time being. Smile tell us that we cannot sell because we wilt not buy. Yet we 'buy and sell a great deal, and we sell more than we buy.?, For 'the .fiscal year endiug June 30, 1879, we ex potted $7 5,438,882 Worth of goods, and 'imported -$466,073,775 worth, the excess of exports over t imports I being $200,363,197. - People, buy what they waat.and where they can buy °cheapest and .befit just : just bat they require ; and no nore., It any nation is forced to haveour beef and grain, have theinthey will, and•must. It matters not whether. we require any of their products or: ot. ,: If, on the other hand, we need their goods, We will- burthem whether they buy . .much or little of . us. •To illustrate. In the year ending' dune 40 1 1877, Cuba bought froin vs $12,709,003 ; webought from cube $05023,395. Brazil bought from 'us $7,498,118; we bought from Brazil $44498,041. Some believe - in a tariff for ,revenue only, others woulikwirle out the Cus-, toms branch-of the service entirely, and both of these claises of doctrin ;likes argue that we would then have free trade, But you maylndedown every custom-house in the United States and dismiss every 0111140111- 41118 e official and you will not, (have free trade. _ . , Free trade unrestrietedin.: tercbange, of all 4 c6nimoditie4 crude and manufahtured; oblong all the tions of the world; i. e., trade freed from tariff legislation or customs du tieii everywhere. As such, free,trade has no existence a% it is 'an untried experiment. Great Britain' imposes duties upon distilled spirits, tobac co, coffee, tea; fruits , wines, etc. France has - two tariffs--''a"general and a conventional. The firs is almost pi.ohibitory—and applies to countries 'not having commercial treaties with France: The other is protective, but; Vie rates are moiler ; ate, abd is desi4ned- for .countries having commercial relations: with Franee. 'of the great manufac tdring nations of Continental Europe ,have tariffs adju,Uted for 'protection as4ell as revenue: . ..,Free: trade does not exist even between Frarice. and Great Britain The most peyfect in stance of free trade is in thelTnited Stites, among all the States, e. g The pmducts of Pennsylv . ania- can enter• any State free of customs dil lies, and the productsiof every State can: enter Pennsylvania in the same way t OUr States are large countries, so to speak. Texas is larger than Frf.nee, and California- is as large as Great Britain. New York ancifenn- syllvania are each about 'as large as England. They are great countries that are bound-together in one con federation of States. Now, -where, in Europe - is there ; such free trade las we have .here Nowhere ! Yet )one would suppose that protection to honie \ industries is an American system—a Pennsylva nia idea—if he , assumed, the state 7 ments of some, free-traderS and reve nue reformers to be true. .Open ports or free Nits mean one thingi free trade another.. Destroy \ your custom ; houses and welcome 'the, pro ducts of your foreign' brethren. With out restriction—what. : - then ? Will you have free trade?-• By no means! Great Britain will!still retzin duties On our distilled•spirits and- tobacco: 'France will still prohibit' some of our goods. Other 'countries will adhere to their tariffs. Like a handle to a jug, such free trade is rill on one side. The great advocrite of free trade is Great Britain. Her people in gener al, and her. great Cobden Club in particular, are exclaiming constatitly against the. policy of other nations. Otherpations reserve. the right to legislate for themselves, and so the great Cobden ClUb meets and frets, and fumes, and deplores the . darkness and total depravity of everybody but the Eriglish. When all nations abol ish cu stoms duties ;` Great Britala in cluded, we will have free trade, and not before.. ` , The distinguished,.Democratic member from the Third Congression al district of Pennsylvania, in a re cent address to his constituents, stated ; : "During the lastilscal yetir ending: June 30, 1880, the' customs dutie,s reached $186,000,000. The amount necessary now is generplly reckoned at $125,000,000, and I l' as sert that this amount cannot be 'raised in an intelligent and business-like manner upon the' articles imported which come in sompetition_with like articles manufactured in this country, • Without • giving an atiovista prow. 1019.1 Il uMrt 111 Tken mop bs ERA , z- i • -,-i-,1 '- '. ~ -i -- •,--? , 4 , 1 _ I - ' 1 • t ( , i I . _ - , -* . •\. \s. \, , , ' • -',- . .--, , . - 7-' ..

The trnthis, that the payment of the public debt, prineipal and in terest;' is - the ittfeguardi to our-Indus triee.",: Now, with all 'due rem) . eet to the bon. gentlemen I 'nay saythat I believe a Deinoerneic CongresS s • t com mitted 'to a tariff for revenue only, will .not raise the motley in:an Intel ; l'gent and business-like manner; and I cannot see how the Y can be expect to. linpose duties with reference to protecting our industries: . s, Great' Britain raises a larger sum than the amount namethrough the customs and' income tax, and, yet does not prcitect any home industry; and it is 'at least possible for arrstw 'tempt to be made to secure such a 'revenue as has been earned by iinpos irig, ,duties on tea and coffee, by re ducing duties on manufactured goods to a \Arletly revenue standird, .and. by reVing the income tax. How intelligeit and business-like are the processespf tariff legislation. in this Country miii`be learned by reference to toe origin al bill . framed by the. , \ ni present chairman of the Ways nod Means Committ ee.lri this bill a great, many cru de aterials were made dutiable,while 6 - e finished pro ducts were made , frce. This, you s , must kno , is directly Contrary to, the polic of every, country \ ip the werht - ,-, I ' ' . \ ' No one can tell how low the rates of ,diftiea will be nor what industries may - be,deprived of all protection by a , •Demberatie Congress favoring a • tariff for revenue only. If all protec tive duties should be abolished then manufacturers must do'one of two things either suspend operations and close t heir factories br produce at as low cost as their: - European competi tors. . The freight; insurance and charges on imported goods *ill not be sufficient protection,. They would seat cely offset the. 7 prejudice that many - Americane have in favor of foreign, products. . Our crude' Riate dais, fuel, rate of interest, coSt •of buitdings and 'madtinry, wages, and, all expenses of business must be as., low as in Europe' or we cannot de)in pete. .Therefore,a tariff for t+renue• only may mean the same wages as are paid in Europe. Are thel work itizmen of 'the United States prePar ed:to accept the. situation - ? This is a, . . important question for them to answer. The Secretary of State, in a letter to the Sp e aker of the House otßep. resentatives,- dated 314 17, 1879, gives a number of valuable points gathered from reports of the Übited States Consuls in the several Un ited States. Eur Ope on the rates of ;Wages, cost of living; etc.: " The rates,"of wages in the United States, roughly estimated, are more than twice thdse in Belaium 9 three . tinies those in 'Den mark,P France and Germany'; once sod a-half those in Englandand Scotland, and more ,than tbree times those in Italy and Spain. The prices of the necessaries of life are lower in the United States than in any , of the foregoing countries. That is, the laboring people of Europe • cannot purchase the necessaries of life, which are common to tie American working people, as low as the same can be purchased in the United States ; or, vice versa, ,if the working people of the t.Tnited States lived on the same quality Of food, or comparatively the same, and ~exercised the same , frogal ity as the working people of Europe, -they-- cOuld-dive-ns - Cheaply as the working people of any country in ' Europe.

You have been compelled, against your will, to recognize that the is sees of thle canvass transcend the in terests of' all parties, because they involve the material well being. .of the whole country, •of to uth as Well es of the - Nortl!, 41 of th East as well as of the Wes ' ' "1 7 ,6ur first great anxiety is for the reviving industries of ;the country.: You are not likely to forget the sev en years of depressiOnthrough which we have passed.. They were doubt lees aggravated by political and financial errors, but they t tvere essen tially a part of the'cost of the- war, and we outlived them as'ive outlived the years.of actual warfare. Many causes contributed to prolong Mien) ; but a steady persistence in protect ing our own workingmen againstfor eign _competition, in advancing to ward specie payments and in relue ing the taxation imposed by the war alike upon: labor and upon capital WAS at last crowned with succesi. Signs of confidence began to re-ap- I .ar. Money beganagam to seek investnientjn industrial.enterprises. .The wages of labor began to admire.

Vila great revival was marked•at the South - as at the North, and the tri • - umph-of the Detnocratic party would be as disastrons to them as to you. The need of the,South today is not more offices but more induatries, not retaliatory legislation , against the North, but a continuance Id. the peace they have enjoyed for *Oast four years; not appropriations from the National Treasury, but tlie de velopment of their own- resources ; not the possession of a greater meas ure of political nowt'', but a- gOod system of public schools, an unfet tered and unintimidatadeuffrage and gentiine respect for labor.' It is at this timewhen a career of unexampled material , prosperity seemed to, be , opening_ before both *dons, that it is gravely prePeeol' to substitute uncertainty for certain / ty, distrust for s , confidence, and to overthrow an industrial system whieb aims to give jest protection to Amerl can labor and reasonable rewards to American capital. - It is against the suicidal folly of such a phange at such a time that you hiiire assembled to enter-your earnest protest. You• next great anxiety is that in the management •of -the national finances ihereshall be -steady steps .fOrward and_ no steps backward.

The demand notes •of the Ticasury_ought to be ' , gradually re- Aleeined and the coinage' of a.' depre ciated currency ought to' be summa rk.stopped.

Close ly connected . with the maintenance of the national banking\aystem is the maintenance of specie payments and the tontinued reduction of the"na tional debt.

It is pretty generally blown that' the orthodox teas ; prepared in the East for America and European con sumption are adulterated, 'but com paratively fewrpeopler are aware of _ the extent to which this adulteration - Ii carried oi, or what substances are used. M. Haagen, a Frencb.chemist of some note, has made a thoreugh investigation of the suldat, aid the .- result of his researchess - has been laid before the Academy of Science. He finds that Prusidan blue, indigo, and. gypsum; in 81/11111 quantities, are the .principal ingredients employed to impart the "fitee," , or "bloom," to teas, andt in the proportions: used they are very innocuous. This, sthdterationtakes place when -the - thiL plants are raised; but more - exten- sive adulteration- is subsequently in dulged in by the Europeans,, Who, - with their superior knowledge, have surpassed the Asiatics in their fraud - by . the use 'of still more injurious drugs, such as chromate of lead and arsenicate of copper, besides making use of comparatively innocuous sub stances such as sulphate of iron, ate- ariteo carbonates of lime,and Mgne siii The Chinese haie ecome most , expert in manipulating green teas, which they color with a, few simple sebstances, Some of them poisonous —for example, plumbago, Prussian: lee ; eurcuma, and kaolin.- With or . ithout -the true leaf of the shrub, ey can produce a tea of any desir e tint. In order to. give the -inferi; or, or false, leaf the aroma of the' tea the Celestials mix a quantity of it with certain flowers, : especially a spe cies of - Olive. In short, according to I'M. Hussen, no injurious proceeding: is omitted in the Celestial 'empire to . palm on the 'outer barbarian inferior or false teas.
