He Outlines the Provisions of the New Tariff Law—How it Strikes The Trust. Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 7—A mass meeting of Democrats was held in thie city this evening. The princi pal features were the speeches of Speaker Crisp, reviewing the work of Congress and of Secretary Hoke Smith against the free coinage of silver. Much enthusiasm was dis- played. Speaker Crisp spoke as When the Fifty third Congress met August of last year, it was con- fronted with difficulties which seem ed almost iusurmountable. Trade was paralyzed, manufacturing had almost ceased, labor was idle, our) bauking institutions were failing and confideuce,life and soul of commerce | was utterly destroyed. In so far as) this deplorable condition was attrib utable to legislation, the Republican | party was responsible. For more than thirty years that party had made our financial aud economic laws. Until the meeting of the Fifty third Congress the Democratic | party was without power. Thecon- | dition which confronted us, while not wholly, was very largely due to evil legislation. In 187% the free coinage of silver had been discontin- ued, and gold became the standard of value. In 1878 part coinage was | resumed, in 1890 this law was re pealed and soon thereafter coiuage | of silver practically ceased. These acts of the Republican party result ed in so lessening the volume of money of final redemption as to de | crease the price of all commodities, increase the burden of all debtors and impair the confidence of the people in the power of the govern- ment and institutious. A law anda practice which allows « citizen to pay his obligations to the govern- ment in silver, or at the same time permits him to demand of the gov- ernment gold in redemption oi its obligations, is manifestly unreason able and unjust, and in the nature of the case must impair confidence and tend to produce panic. For thirty years the Republicans | had been building up tariff walls around the country, and in 1890 passed what they termed a perfect protective tariff law. A protective tariff restricts trade and commerce. It limite the market in which we must buy and depresses the market in which we must sell. It is a tax upon a foreign competitor you en- able the domestic manufacturer to increase the price of his wares to the extent of the tax, and this, too, the the consumer here must pay Then you buy foreign goods and pay the duty, it goes into the Treasury and is called a “tax; when you buy the domestic product and pay the in creased price, it goes into the peck- et of the American manufacturer and is called “protection.” The location | of the manufactory determines the | name, but the rate of duty deter. | mines the price. Under such a tariff | you must buy in a market where | | such law would afford great relief to jreform, you are familiar. Thirty | years of class legislation has built up | arrayed against us, and in the bitter competition is destroyed and where scarcity is created by law. You must sell at prices fixed in a market, | where free trade and the law of sup ply and demand prevails. Trade and commerce is the exchange of com- modities. A prctective tariff prevents us from exchanging our surplus of cot ton, corn, wheat, meat and other farm products for the surplus of manufacted goods abroad. We free ly export our product, but that for which we exchange is so heavily tax ed as to make the exchange unprofit uble. Commerce ceases when gain is gone; one can net buy unless he can sell, nor can he sell unless he can buy. Commerce and agriculture go hand in hand; when one ceases, the other languishes. The laws which destroy the one make the other unprofitable. Taxed crude materials injure and depress manu- facturing. It wants the markete of the world,but under protective tariff has not been able to enterthem. A protective tariff fosters and builds up trust and monopolies. It create no wealth, it only prevents its natur- al and just distribution. Thirty years of such a system did much to produce the conditions existing when the Fifty third Congress met. WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE. What bas that Democratic Con- gress so far done for the people? ‘The first matter considered was the fianadcial question. What should or could be done on the silver ques tion We had pledged ourselves against the makeshift Sherman law, and in favor of both gold and silver as the standerd money of the coun try. By an agreement arrived at between Democrats we determined to take the sense of House on the free and unlimited coinage of silver at several ratios. After debate a sepa- rate vote was had oneach, and on the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. The result you know. While not professing to un- derstand the question fully in all its bearings, I have always been in fav- er of the free coinage of silver—I am in favor of it now. The fears of those who oppose it are largely imagi- nary, and J believe the enactment of the people of the country. So feel- ing i need not say that to me per- sonaliy the result of the vote on free coinage of silver was a great disap- pointment. This question is not settled. With our great struggle for tariff in this country large trusts, large monoplies, aud large 2ombinations of cupital. All these interest were contest through which we passed were earnestly and actively aided by a compact Republican minority. All that wealth, all that energy and all that great intelligence and capacity | could do was daily and hourly done to defeat the cause of the people. Under these conditions our progress was slow. The House framed and passed a tariff bill. This went to the Senate. Aftera long and tedious | struggle the Senate passed this bill | | witb amendments. Finally the ques | was presented in such a fashton chat we must either accep: the Senate amendments or have no thus permitting the odious McKinley law to remain upon the statute books When we were convinced such was the true situation we did not hesi tate a moment; we accepted the Sen ate amendments, and so the bill be- came a law. | This bill is not all we hoped for. | It contains provisions we deplore, provisions which the House, by sep- to the consumer of more than $163, 000,000. On cotton, on felts, on cotton velvets and on hundreds of other articles the reduction is great- er 50 per cent. The bill places a tax on sugar. A large majority of the Democrats in the House opposed this, and, as the bill passed the House, sugar in all its forme, was on the free list. The The canw growers got ne aid from the government, the Sugar trust got no aid from the government. STRIKES AT THE TRUST. T have thus outlined merely tke provisions of the great reform meas ures. It strikes at the trusts and monopolies It reduces the cost of necessaries of life. It to some ex teat opens our markets abroad. It promotes agriculture; it encourages manufacturing and it will add to the comfort of millions of our fellaw citizens. “We votad upon a proposition to repeal the tax upon the circulation of State bank currency. I believe that our people would derive more immediate benefit from the repeal of that law than from almost any other legislation that could be had. Against us on the question were feund many Democrats, all the Re- publicans and all the Populists A majority thus constituted defeated our efforts and the repeal of the bill failed. This question in not settled We have repealed all Federal elec tion laws which permitted the inter- ference of outsiders with our domes tic affuirs and which were used only to defeat the will of the people. Henceforth Georgi, as well as every other State, will manage electious in accordance with their own laws, aud elections will be free and fair. We have passed a law which subjects to taxation by the States more than $500,000,000- which under Republi- cau law was exempt from taxation, thus relieving to some extent the burdens of the taxpayer. We have reduced public expenditures some $40,000,000 for the current year. With this record who can assail us? Our ancient adversary, the Repub- lican party, though not strong in this State, is the enemy we must meet. When Democracy suffers de feat, Republicanism will be triumph ant. Here at my home we are challenged by the People’s party. This organization bas candidates and it has a platform of principles. Of its candidates Ishallsay nothing They are presumed to be as gocd, I hope they are better, than their plat form. That platform contains some planks which are new and some which are old.
