=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 . ;

rice growers of South Carolina, the

are, quite as urgent for protection as
are the iron and steel manufacturers
Or coal "operators Of. Pennsylvania,
and thefarmers were never known;
to' giumide because duties are im
posed', on Wheat, flour, rye, oats and

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

to a \Arletly revenue standird, .and.
by reVing the income tax. How

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. ':ln thel near, future, the
workingman of ..New York cannot
eNmet twice or thrice the wages of
his fellowLworker in Europe, while
all other things—food, rent, clothing,
etc.are on an equality; nor can the
coal miner of Pennsylvania expect
twice the wages of the Northumber
land:nminer, while coal from the - Nor
thotikerland mines can he landed in
New York at loss than the price of
Pennsylvania coal. If our manufac
turers cantiot run their estallishments
prigitablp—and capital will no more
remain permanently invested unpro
fitably than will labor work for noth
ing—and pay the prpmiling wages,
our working people must help them
to make profit by-consenting to a
reduction of wages." • .:

Address of Hon. Wayne IlllneVesgi.
FELLOW CITIZENB:-YOU have as
sembled tiff-night, not as Republicani
but as Americans ; not as pakisans,
but as citizens; not :to secure the
continued,ascendancy, of a pOlitical
party, but to save from threatened
peril the peace, the prosperity and
the welfare of the Ameriean people.
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.
Everydepprtinent of industry began
to feel new sad - vigorous impulses to
aerds.greatei activity and achieve=
nients, until the laborer at his labor,
the farmer in hie field, the artisan in
WI shops kilo Manatauturef at his,fur
nags, anti thetairobant at Itio doekt
,
shared- In the general prOperity.
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.
Mistake's enough and costly-enough
have already been made, and twoof
ahem are still sources, of possible
trduble. 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. A free banking sys
tem is entirely competent to furnish
all the\currency whichi is needed for
legitinisae business, and it is of equal
Value in every portiun of the coun
try, withoutliability to discount, in
capable of del*ciation and redeema-,
hie in gold coin, t furnishes 'the saf
est and most conienient medium of
exchange in,use among men. 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. As the, mischiefs of an
irredeemable and inflated currency
inevitably be 'r most, heavily . on the
men: who ear their daily bread by
dailySlabor,ls , too, the buiden,of
the public de t finds at, last for place
of-rest-tare shoulders of the sons of
toil ; forthey not only constitute the
real strength, but they alai" produce
the real wealth of the nation: What
ever .financial policy tends tp increase
the wages of workingmen, even by
the indirect methods of furnishing's
sound currency and diminishing tax
ation, confers inestimahle economic
advantages uponraa, the country.
.° .
The !fedond the cdurage .of
the Republican party in'dealing with
the financial, questions have 'not al z ,
ways been - what they ought -to ,hav
(i s t,
been, but they, have teadily inereas
ed,..7 and 'it is to-day he 'only "party
which can be trusts with absolute
certainty not to destroy the national
banks or inflate lie _currency: with
irredeemable paper (money, or unget
tie the foundations of the-public cre
dit, and render even the repbdiation
of the national debt once more a po
litical question.

. Ibis tosave the country from ouch
evils-that • you appeal to4iight to your
countrymen tO Make common - cause
with you against.. the - surrender; of
the Treasury, the finanees; and the'
pledged faith of the nation to thcab-1
solute disposal.of Democratfel
party, as it iR noci.:constituted ski
controlled.
nthey succeed- to such control, it
is not.difficult to foresee the ::'proba
ble course matters would take. The'
first object-of attack
,Would be the,
tariff, c o ot by a proposal to substitute
any comprehensive measure for , the
existing law, but by special statutes
of repeal. removing, ~one. 'at a tiMe,
such duties as.ivere not 'unposed "Ter ,
revenue only." The : denial of
_pro
tection to our industries would not
or:WI-educe wages, hut it would also
impair the general prosperity to such
an extent tbat our imports would'
largtly dimyrish and , the revenue
from that source would 'of course di
minish in proportion. Meanwhile
the 'appropriations and Abe expenses
of the governnientil would naturally
have increased, am at , an early day
it would be , found that ythe expendi
tures exceeded the income. . Then
specie paymeuts would be stispetided
and there would be new. issues of
Treasury notes. Meanwhile the re
duction of the national debt would
have ceased, the attacks on the na
tional ; banks would have—= driven
, many of them out of existence -and
impaired , the usefulness-. of , those
which' remained, and the loss Of con
.fidence would have madebew judos ,
trial.enterprises impossible by ren
dering capital more timid than ever
before. By these easy stages we ,
would return to an era.of financial
uncertainty and of industrial depres
sion and distress. It is not difficult
.to call this the language of exagger
ation, but I have contributed no con.
sequences to the accession of the
' Democratic party to pow,er which
are not fairly deducible 'from doc
trines which have repeatedly, and re
cently 'received - the sanction of recog,
nized leaders , of rite party in both
Housesbf Congrei3. A, Democratic

A itory of Thad Steve Os.
Elijah F. Tennypacker, of Dela
ware; has in his mind piny reminis
cences of Thaddeits Stevens;: whom
he.knew. well. At one time, he was
with Stevens as a member of. the
Penns) IVania Board of Canal Com
missioners: "Stevens and I," be
said, ".in pursuance of our duties as
coitiFissioners, started in a two-horse
carriage on .o tour of examination ;
that was.a quicker way of going than
by canal boat, but as it was it took
us several Weeks To journey up the
North Branch of the Susquehanna to
Towanda," Tunkliannock, and back
again. , Everywhere the people_
knew Stevens, and everywhere he.
was, greeted .. with :enthusiasm. At
Tunkhannock there was a great
ciowd Of contractors and they had
been drinking. iSouielow they found
out that dur driver was a,' Locofoco.'
They gathered abc3iut the j carriage,
shouting and insisting upon Stevens
telling them why he, a \Whig, employ
ed Locofoco 'driveri After - a while
we got away, from: their' and into . the
hotel, and went to bed:. We were in
adjoining bed-rOoms,' with the door
open • between, but it was impos
sible to . sleep, because • the con
tractors in the bar-rooni below were
drinking, shouting, and calling for
Stevens to come , down land explain
why heepiployed the' Locofoco. '
"Finally - they came stumbling up
the stairs, entered Sivens"room,
danced about his bed, shouting and
insisting on . bis drinkitig with:them.
He lay perfectly -still,l as if asleep,
without answering theth or making a
sound. •Then they left him and came l
into my room saying, I Must drink '
with them.' I knew that resistance
was useless , and so said to them that
I .'never rank anything stronger
than water ; that I could take a glass
of water with them• 'They , were sat
jailed with the proposal; we, drank,
and.they returned Stevens,
-' Come now, Pennypacker his
Irelognized us, you must drink with
us.r Stevens:did,not answer, where
upon they picked up the mattress
from. the lied, boie hitri into my . ,

floor,' while' they cried,. 'See, this
man is dea'd ! He won't answer us
Stevens is-dead !' I Said .to- them :
`Yell, he- 4,i11....keep till . morning.'
Without anot* word they carried
him back to hi4ed, went down stairs"
and wo slept i peace. Steveni',self:

Adulteration of Teas.
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-
