Though still suffering, and very weak, he made the longest addreas he has thus far delivered during the campaign. Mr. Jobn M. Price presided, and introduced Mr. LeMoyne, who spoke s fol- lows: THE ADDRESS. . Mg. CHATR¥AN AND GENTLEMEN: It i8 now just abouc two years since I made, 1n this house, almost my first political speech. I had then just left the Republican party, because I believed that the good of the country demanded a change of Administration, and I tried to convince you of this fact. I believe the majority of you differed with me then. Has the expericnce of the past two years justified your opinion, or mine? My errand to yon now is- the same that it was then. In what I have to say, I do not wish to ad- dress myself to your feolings. or make any ap- peal to passion or projudice. Yon shonld regard the politics of the day as purely a question of dollars and cents, to be discnsaed just as you would discuss any other business srrengement in which you are interested. What would you think of a set of farmers who should fixthe time of corn-planting by resolutioa; or who would refuse to gather their harvest, except at such times as all the otner members of the same church should gather theirs? You would say they were fools. I am not sure that vou are more rationsi when you are influenced in your Yoting by appeals to stick to parts, which bas hed a glorions past,or when you allow your- selves to be controlled by party ties, or led by political leaders. IN YOUR PEBSONAL AFFATRS, when you are selecting an employe, you exercise your best judgment 16 to his fitness for the par- tieular service you requiro; why then, when you are selecting an employe by vote, whetler it be for an execulive or legislative employmeut, do You give up your judgument and allow sourseives o bo mfluenced by passion, prejudico, o party ties? This submission to the control of party leaders is very often mnjurious to the best interests of the country, and very axpensive to youselves. You have no doubt heard a great deal of the §loriona record of political parties. If you are isposed to continue investments in this etyle of glory, would it not be as well to stop and con- sider how mucb it costs ? A great deal has been eaid about THE DIBECT BORBERIES of the present Administration. You often sec by the papers that some employe of the Govern- ‘ment has stolen or embezzled a largo amount of ublic funds. Congress, perhaps, has voted a arge subeidy to some company. Of given away large tracts of the public lands. You Lave paid little sttention to this. If, each time any of the public property was thus abstracted, the tax- gatherer should come round and collect from each of you a proportion of the amount neces- sary to replace tus fand, how long would you retain the servants who, by their negligence or criminality, had cansed the loss ? NOW, WHAT 1S TUE DIFFERENCE between haviag to pay this money dwectly and having to pay it in additional tazes or dutiesat some future time? There i really none, but such a length of time elapses that we fose the connection between cause and elect, and the burden is placed upon us indirectly. And bur- deus thus im posed, though often more serious, are less observed than those placed upon us di- rectly. Theee direct robberies have, under the present Administration, gone unpunished, and the loss of the moncy to the nation has not been 80 serious an injury o the demoralization of the people in seging the crimes of embezelment and theft treated as il they were not eriminal. DBat at this time I desire to call your attention for s little while to what might be called THE INDIRFCT ROBTERIES of the Ropublican party ; and the greatest of these is the protective tariff. Let ©s for s mo- ment consider the A B C's of the tariff system : In all commuvities, men naturally take up dif- ferent occupations. If the farmer wants & pair of shoes, he does not stop his_farming operatioos to make the #hoos himself, but some man in the ccmmunity ‘makes all the shoes, and tho larmer gives the shoemaker one dav of his work or the price of it in exchznge for one day's work of the shoe- maker ; and, agall the other members of the community do the same, the shoemaker is kept busy, and thus acquires greater skill in his busi- nees than any ooe could bave who attempted to do everything for himself. Suppose, after a while, the shoemaker. getting more avaricions than his neighbors, moze 1mpa- tient to be rich, applies to the Government for essistance, and the Government, yiolding to his application, levies a tax upon every other mem- ber of the commurity. aod hands the mopev to tl:e shoemaker ? You wonld call this a plain rob- bery. But, inetead of thix. suppose tho Gov- crnment, to aasist the shoemaker, requires every one who wears zhoes to pay 50 cents & pair extra to the shoomaker. Is not this equally a robbery? Now suppoeo, instead of either of these, the Government should probibit the bringing of any other shoes into the community, so that the shoemaker could charge whatever prica ha saw. NUMBER 70. £t, and he charges greatly mors than are wu,rg,—u not lgx? 28 {mfl:’; ? the shesy THIS I3 THE PROTECTIVE ARIYP. Not that the protective tariff in tarms prohibits the importation of the articles we require; bu if the Government levies a dollar s pair oo | shoes brought in, the shosmaker can certainly charge three-quarters of a dollar extra, and thuy keop out tho shoes which would have to pay & doliar s pair duty. Thisis cafled protection — that is, protection to the shoemsker. Bat what ia it to tho balance of the community? Now, tha shoomaker being protected, the iatier says 1 ve to pay more for my shoes, why sho: I also be protacted ?* A applion o m‘:‘?}ZSE emment and is protected. So with the cot- maker, and 80 in succession may each member of the commuuity apply ; and when they are all protected, how much better off is any ons of them than he was beforo protection was given to sny? 1f tho Government undortakes to Jisorioe. iuate between its citizens, and to protect certain members of the community at the expenss of, oz brleving & tax either direct or indirect upon, the balance of the community, it violates the fundamental principles of justice ; and such sa exercise of authority is logal robbery. s imposed S X UBLICY PazTy 8 osed upon the conn a protective tariff which it has ml.ix_:llinadtsxl—{er sinco it ment into power. In the Chicago Convention of 1860, a resolution was passed in which there was & clause, saying that the system of duties should be 8o armanged a5 to encourage manufactures. (fi believo this is_substantially the provision of that resolution.) In186L. Mr.Morrill. 3 Republic- an leader, introduced the lawknown asthe Mor- Till Tariff act, and it was passed by 3 Republican Congress. This law has been amended ten or a dozen times since. Under it, tho amount which escl of you b?vs_ bgeenhnbligcd to pay would, if ¥ cater into the computati vou boyand bollot” Ly A is not pretended that, by this tarif, members of the community are :qxully mmafi't:g or protected. It only assumes or pretends to protect tho manufacturer. And at whose ex- pense is he protected ? At your expense. Thers 13 bardly anvihing that you have to buy.for which you are not obiiged o _pay nn extra price on account of thistarifl. You have to pay it on your glass, your nails, your iron, your carpots, your clothing. For example: Here is & heavy overcoat which & friend handed me in starting. This coat cost in Canada 816. Whou it was re- ceived in Chicago, the duties and expenses paid, it coat 232, Thero is no reason except the tarifl why clothing should not bo s cheap in Chicago 23 in Canada, This may serve to suggest to you Low much you have to pay each year on yomr woolen goads on account of the tarilf. The ad- vocate of s protective tariff might say that it really made no difference if you were obliged to pay this additional sum for tho coat, because the cmount of the daty guesiato the pablic Treasury, and the people recoive the benefit of it, in its ap plication to the liquidation of the debis of tha Government. Suppose it were truo (which it ig not) that all the duty collected was thus applied, theargument would then bogood. Butby placing 2 duty on clothing generally, the American man- ufacturer can make s coat of equal quality and el it for £40; and,when it ia mado hore, ang sold to you for that sum, the Canacian coat cannot b gold at all, because it i excluded by tho higk duty. If you bay an American coat, bow much of the purchase money goes into the Treasury 9reu:e United States? Not dollar. Itail goer into THE POCKET OF TIE MANUFA( and you have been paying just such s taxom your clothing, and uearly everything else you buy, for years, I am convinced that, if you would keep an account for one year of the a2mount which you thus pay, by reason of a protective tariff, for the benefit of the Enstern manufactarers, you wonld be great- ly astopished, and ~“you might - then understand _how, with~ all your - hard work and saving habits, you find yourselves sa constantly feeling poor. ‘This barden may serve to explain why 80 many of the farmers are in debt. Inaddition tothe sums which yon have to pay, the cost of everything produced by labor at home is increesed by the tariff. The mechanic and laborer must receive enough for his work tc enable him to live, and if the cost of everything Le a8 to buy i8 increased by the tariff, he 1 compelled to charge more for his labor : and thus a little is added to the price of eversthing produced by labor. The great injustice of thia tariff is made ap pparent when we cougider the small number whe receive the benefits; that is, the number of those who are_protected and the large numbéy of those who bave the taxto pay. The censua reports show that ONLY ABOUT ONE-FIFTH of our_wholo population is engaged in man- ufacturing pursnits. That includes, of course, all the Inborers and employes of the manufacturers ; and I think it 18 8 very safe estimate thas, for overy capitalist engaged in manufacturing whe participates in the profits, there are at leasi twenty employes. So that out of this one-fifth of the pupulation of the United States, there is one man in twenty who really gets the profita realized from manufactured articles. This is then one man in & buodred out of the whole population; hence ninety-nine men arg being taxed, and taxed heavily, for ihe benefit of this single man, and for his benefit alone. That is tho position we are now in.—a position thatis grinding the life out of the Western country. [Applause.] Monufacturing establish- ‘menta in the West are comparatively few. - Thoy are principally located in the East, and there tha subatance of the West is being spent. THE AGRICOLTURAL INTERLST is being ruined by the tariff. You are paying more and more for all you have to buy, bus how much more do you nowreceive for what youhave toscll? The aggregats valne of the principal crops, not including cotton and tobacco, increas- ed from 1850 to 1860, at which time we hada purely revenue tariff, about ten times the pro- portional ome for tho following decade.—from 1860 to 1870.—when we had the protective tariff. The natural result, unafiected by the tariff, of the improvements in machinery, ete., wonld be to incresse the value of agricultural pro- ductions, 28 compared with the valua of manufactared articles. For instance, one pound of raw cotton will buy about five times more of the manufactared cloth than it would twenty years ago, because, by the improved ma- chinery, 8 manufacturer is enabled to make five yards 1n the same time he could then make but one. Bat there is no patent process for forcing the growth of crops by which you can now raise five crops & yesr. The farmer is obliged ta await the seasons, with all their wncertainties, to mature his crops. For this reason the prica of agricultural products should con- stantly sdvancing, especially 23 land bscomes doarer, and the difference between manufactared articlos and agricaltural products would from vear to year be changing, tho agricultural pro- duets becoming_dearer, the manufactured arti- cles cheaper. But, by reason of the protective tariff, the reverse is the case, all at_the expense of the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer, and those who profit by their prosperity; and it is for the bencfit of the manufacturer. The protective tariff wos |framed bya Republican, passed by a Republican Congress. and has been maintained by this party to the present time, ‘Lhe question is whether the Western people will continue to SURNIT TO ITS BURDENS, or whether they will now unite with the Opposi tion parsy, which has declared as one of its fan~ demental priaciples, that there shall be no tariff, for “ protection,” but only for revenue. The difierence between a protective tariff and a reve- Bue tariff is, that the former is intended to raise the price of wheat we have to buy; if it does not do this, how does it profect? Does it not sesm a strange propusition, that tho Legislature of the whole people should pass laws for the pur- pasa of adding to the price of articles, which ninety-uine hundredchs of them bave to buy ? This protection is afforded by excluding from the purcheser all mannfactared articles not made in this countrs, proventing him from busing where he can buy tho clioapest. A revenue tariff is intended to be 8o low in its duties thatit will encourage the importation of tho different articles wo ute, but, by the large importation, to give tho Government such a revenue as will en- ablo it to carry on its several departments with- out imposing a direct Lax upon the people. [Ap- plause.] It seems to mé that thisis a questicn which noeds but coneideration on the part of the farm- era; aud the proposition is 8o plain, the conclu- eion is irresiztible that they aro suffering from this protective tariff, and fo such an extent that it must boabolished. Itisa ncet from which come a vast brood of corporations and monopo- lies, and it is g0 casential to their existence that they can well afford to keep A LOBRY AT WASHINGTON supplied with money to control the legislation of the country in their favor, and they 5o this son- stantis. You, tho sufferers, who have to pay these heavy taxes, send no one there ; they, who make this money, lay aside s portion of their profits with which to demoralize Congress and (See Fourth Page.’
