ur. Carlisle’s Views on the Tariff. There seems to be a preconcerted | and united plan on the part df the } Republican press, the protective or- | gans and the other advocates of Mr. | Randall’s candidacy for the speaker- | ship, to misrepresent Mr. Carlisle’s views and position on tariff ques- | They would have it appear) “tree | tions. that Mr. Carlisle is a trader,”’ violently opposed to any and all forms of tariff and in fayor radical of the immediate abolition of all laws j | drawn trom other pursuits and em- imposing duties upon foreign im- ports. This is untrue and as wholly | untair as to claim that Mr. Randall 1s opposed to a high protectiye tariff. No one need misunderstand Mr. | Carlisle’s position on tariff subjects, except from blind ignorance, or in- | has the tentiona! misconception. He been leader and spokesman ot democratic majority in the house of yepresentatives on all revenue mat- ters for years past, and to-day more nearly and more ably represents the views and reflects the opinions ot the moderate and conservative revenue reformers than any one man in pub- During the long debates in Car- he life. the last congress on tariff, Mr. lisle stood in the fore-front of the fight as the acknowledged champion } and ablest defender of the democratic Day after day and week success- position. atter week, he skilfully and fully held his own against all the as- saults of the republican leaders and high tariff advocates in those long debates, evincing a throrough know- jedge of revenue mutters, showing himself to be possessed of a and rehable vast amount of accurate In- formation every subject, and that he was always able to maintain his views logical sound arguments, His of the re- on branch of the with tacts and specches fill many pages ported debates during this protract- ed contest, and they uniformly show that he was moderate, conservative and consistent and correctly repre- sents the prevalent democratic senti- ment as a revenue reformer. The totlowing extractS are taken from the official reports of Mr. Car- hisle’s speeches, and through them his position can be clearly ascertain- ed. On the 3d ot July, 1882, in op- posing the bill to increase the duty on knit woolen goods. Mr. Carlisle said: ‘We should have no_ favorites here. Every consideration of jus- tice and duty demands that we should listen as kindly and respond as quick- ly to the appeals of the people who labor themselves as to the appeals ot the people who live and grow rich up- on the labors ot others. Associated capital is generally capable otf taking geod care of its own interests while labor is generally and powerless. ‘Our tariff laws dependent can be so revised and amended as to do justice to all interests—to the government, to ital and to labor. *Revenue for the with incidental protection tor labor, but no bounty tor capital, is the pol- ey demanded cap- government, the the by intelligence and patriotism ot conntry, the and time has now come when it aught be inaugurated On March 29. 1882, fellows: “Whoever challenges the right of n, whatever may le or occu mn, to an equal partieipation benefits the by tt ie government, so long as he hears an equal share of its burdens, denies the equality of man; whoever asserts that one class of men or o species ot industry has a wact tribute from an for its wa benefit, or has sup: claims mpon the consideration of the gov— ernment, asserts a doctrine utterly at war with the fi political system. doctrine the ‘Ameri principles of To n doctrine,” and our call such a to announce it in high sounding and patriotic phrase, 15 simply attempt to hide deformity neath a rhetorical and sentimental garb, and will deceive no one who looks beyond the surface.” In another portion of the speech he said: “I think it entirely safe to Say that while there 1s a yery general feeling of dissatisfaction with the existing system cf unequal 1 unjust tariff axation, there is no dispesition any an its be— same he spoke as | where to strike a radical, much le: a fatai blow at any of the great me- | chanical or manufacturing interests | of the country, nor 1s it necessary, in | my judgement, to strike such a blow j reasonable de- people. We legislators, | in order to afford a gree of relief to the responsible tact that under | cannot, as close our eyes to the this system whether it was originally wise or unwise, large and valuable | interests have grown up; that great masses of capital haye been with- barked in manufacturing enterprises, | and that labor, tollowing, as it al- | ways does, where capital leads, has | | been to a large extent div erted from | nd has perma- | its present channels, | nently identified itself with these va- | | rious interests. In any revision that | may be made proper regard should | be had for the welfare of these great : interests, and they should be careful- | | alone, not as | | not ly considered, something seperate and distinct trom | of the country, favorites of the other industries the | ns not as the special government, having peculiar cl but in connection upon its bounty; with every other legitimate interest in the country, all being recogmzed and treated as equally entitled to our favorable consideration.”’ | In opposing the adoption of the | conference repert on the new iff | bill on March 3, 1883, Mr. Carlis j used the following language: | “I desire to say again that I have been anxious to see this congress pass some measure of actual reliet to the I have been wiiling and am } people. | willing now to make what TU consider large concessions in order to secure a just and equitable revision of the tariff. | **I cannot expect tosee incorporat- ed in a single measure all that in my opinion should ultimately be done ; j and if the absolute power to -dispose of this great question my own hands to-day, I would dis- cautious and} the were in be posed to proceed by conservative methods to relieve people trom taxation and to reduce the revenues of the government with- out injuring or alarming the industri- al interests of the country. We must all recognize the fact that large interests have grown up under the existing system; that they have been fostered and encouraged by it, and that they haye so adjusted themselves to it as to become in a large measure dependent upon the assurance that it will not be suddenly swept away. | ‘Under these circumstances, while I would strennously insist upon actu- al and substantia be willing to accept very reasonable and moderate measures tisfacto- ry indications of a fixed purpose to relheve the people at large without reductions, [would | embarra sing special interests.”” i ae Se A Stunner. It is amusing what people will | think and occasionlly say. The ev- | erlasting tariff. for instance, 1s about to prove a veritable boomerang. The great seem never to have considered labor monopohes protected , of protection, and now come that wor' the labor organi and say zatic s labor is as much en d to protec- tion as capitol: that to toreign com- merce is due the low prices prevail- ing in the manutactories’ and that American labor should be protected trom the competition of the foreign article. This demand makes the Pe cc ti adswim. It reduces all his arguments to absurdities ee loaves him helpless. It it is right to protect capitalitis mght to protect the 3 but this leads. If labor be protected, then what is | ie by protection on the product go to. the ar- protected isan in higher wages, and what good tor whose sole ees: will that do the c benefit: protection was gned? The question does not bother the ad- 1 vocates ot fret tr: labor. e or but it is a stunner to protectionists. <An observer in Utah writes that one ot the causes operating toward ion of poly: inter-marriage ot Gentiles = that vation, have come ob- ious belief of the Gentiles is ap: To-Morrow a Long Way | ferer | catalogue | of good tait PRESENT POWER. | When Help is Wanted To- Day, Pain and to the | does pays Comtort is never in a hurry. distress are in hot haste, It is “friend in need’’—the triend who something now—that the old adage the compliment ot being ‘‘a friend in- deed.’?
