Mr. Morrison described the financial condition of the country, stated the esti- mated surplus of revenue over expendi- tures, and dwelt upon the necessity of re- ducing tho taxation. To fail to reduce the taxation and relieve the people would be a flagrant disregard of public duty, The pending bill might not be all that was required, but it was an advance towards the promise of a more complete tariff reform. Such reform and adjust- ment of the tariff was not believed at- tainablo at the prosent session. It would be mno great surprise that the opinion the minority of tho ways and committese on the measure was not sufficiently harmonious to secure their approval They found in it no merit, because it proposed to reduce all duties alike. A horizontal reduction might not be best but none other was now practicable. The year of 1860 was a time of plenty. The lahorer for wages was at least as well, and the grower of grain better paid than they are in this yoar of 1884, and that year 1860, of bounteous plenty, our importations of foreign goods were less to the person or in proportion to population than in the years of 1880 and 1882. To the list of articles now imported free of duty, amounting to nearly one-third of all our importations, it was prnponm‘lS tlo Salt is already froed from tax for fishermen, also for the exporter of meats, to lessen the cost of food to the people of other countries, not for our own. Coal is un- taxed for use on vessels hnving by law exclusive right to coasting trade or en- aged in foreign carrying trade—a privi- free of duty hasin ten years past not much exceeded $10,000,000, and the census returns show domestic wooden products to exceed $500,000,000 per an- num. If an average duty of 20 per cent on imported wood adds but 10 per cent to the price of that produced here, its in- creased cost to the people has been §50,- 000,000 in ten years. In these ten yoars, under the pretense of taxing this article to secure 81, revenue, We have compelled the people to pay $500,000,000 in bounty to encourage the destruction of forests and the felling of trees, and in the same we have given more than 18,000,000 acres of land under the timber culture act as & bounty to en- courage planting other trees and other foreata. fn the estimates made by a clerk experienced in the bureau of statistics, which the actual payments on importa- tions show to be but estimates though based on officlal data, thebill would leave it to appear. In cottons, but two articles of cotton yarns not the finest dutiable above forty per cent; in woolens but one coarse carpet of wool which we do not produce above 60 per cent, and in iron and steel but a few above 60 per cent. These rates have been fixed as the limit above which on these articles no duty shall be collected. The present rate on the finest cotton is 40 per cent, and yet it is an unquestioned fact, as shown by the invoices and payments made, that du- ties exceeding 100 per cent (exceeding the firat cost) are exacted and on cotton goods the duty upon which is in the estimate referred to, to be less than 20 per cent. The same is true of iron and steel in a different degree. In the woolen schedule these abuses are the most glaring. In all they result from KHOW THYSELF, A GREAT MEDICAL WORM ON MANHOOD Exhausted Vitality, Nervous and Ph Premature Decline {n' Man, Exrors of Youth, ‘untold miserles resulting from indisorotio: 0" for Al afat s’ for all aout ronlo diseasos oach ono of whioh ia Luyaluabl 8o found by the Author, whoso experionce for yoars I such asprobably nevor beforo foll 0 tho 1o French shudis amoossadEotor, bt P vers, rant 10 bo a finer wors ry Sons0,—ochnlo, b l,—than any'obher work sold In ‘or the monoy will be refunded Price only §1,00 by mall, poss ive sample b cents.

Those really desirous of affording some relief from existing abuses will not fail to find their opportunity in remov- ing taxes yielding $8,000,000 on sugar, a8 much on cotton and woolen goods, and $14,000,000 on other articles used in every house, The insufficient, not to say deceptive, character of the late re- vision, the manner of making it, and the circumstances attending its adoption, alike forbid it should be permanent. The only security from agitation and change is to confine the taxing power toits right- ful purpose—obtaining revenue limited to the necessities of the government. When no more revenue is needed by the gov- ernment of the people, it has actained its limit in its power to tax the people. Estimates based on census statistics show that as many as 18,000,000 of our people do some work or are ocou- pied in some business, and that the aver- uge earnings at least of 16,000,000 ve | these do mnot much exceed $300, and clang fally IMPROVED SOFT ELASTIC SECTION CORSET : o1 o R L'se.

Those, too, are millions who in the shop and nheld strike the blows of all production, All ascummu- lations of and boasted additions to our national and individual wealth go to one- tenth those who earn it, and of these a few appropriate the great mass of the savings of the people and are enziched by the profits of the labor of other men, Like estimates will show that the few who rofit most from the labor of all con. tribute little under this system of unequal taxation, not more shan 2 per cent of their savings, while the great mass of workers, innndinu the dependant poer, pay the bulk of taxes, all which is sub- tracted from their too scanty means of comfortable living, The amount required from the ecustoms is pendant on what may bo receiv- od from the internal revenue. The abolition of internal revenue means free and cheap liquors, put with taxed and higher priced sugar and other arti- oles essential in every household. Morrison said that during the last ten years wages have been as low or lower than before the adoption of the taxing policy s » pretended means of makin, wages higher. In the opinion of the mi- nogty of the members of the committee representing as they do the friends of the prevailing y oures for whatever national ills exist so far as they result frem taxation, is 10 be found in higher priced clothi and other articles useful in the fields, mines and homes, for that is what is meant by higher taxed wool, fence rods, cotton bands and tin pla the protection policy is to be the continuing policy of the government, it will be and ought to be entrusted to ite friends, the repul party.

(Applause on the repub. among us if such a biil should pass, and it did not then pass, Later on, when the story of free quinine got among the rm-pla, another Klnoml a bill before the house omitting the free alcohol provision, and the bill became a law, the protectionists themselves, foel- ing _ obliged to vote _ for it. The great Philadelphia house didn’t go into a decline, but continued ita busi- ness of quinine making snccessfully, as the second largest quinine establishment in the world. 8o every legitimate indus- try would go on with a revenue tariff. It is insisted that wages are so much higher here than in countries secking our mar- kets, that revenue duties will not equal- izo the difforence in the cost production. Conceding the truth of what is not true, that foreign rival must pays for the privi- lego of selling in our markets a sum equal to the difference in wages to enable the home producer to sell with reasonable profit, lot us see if the revenue rates will compensate for that difference. The census value of mauu- factures for 1880 was $5,369,679 191, The wages paid in the msking of them were $047, 705. The difference in the cost of goods is said to be the difference in the cost of wages, But suppose the difference between the cost here and the cost abroad amounts to all the wages paid here, thon these manufactures would cast abroad $4,421,625,306, Suppose the average rate of duty, which the bill befcre the house leaves at 33 per cent, was rednced to 22 per cent, and at that rate this $4,421,626,306 in the value of zoods was imported, it would cost the importarat the rate of 22 per cent $9072,757 687, which not only makes up for the differ- ence in wages but excoeds all wagos paid for making all the goods. If those who claim espesial friendship for the manufacturing industries will 1nsist on their going into decay, and then dying, some other apology must be found for t] taking off thau the re- moval of unnecessary taxes. Mr. Kelley (rep Pa.,) made the open- ing speech in opposition to the bill, He didn’t believe any cheapening of goods cduld relieve any American industries The evil was not that the goods were not cheap enough, or that America could not produce them The truth to be consid- ered by all men was that the power of production the world over had outrun the power of consumption, and that the mar- Leu were overstocked, and in every land skilled and industrious people had been idle for a large portion of recent years nihilism in Russia, socialism in Ger- many, communism in France, told the story in those great countries. Idlene: want, misery in every industrial centre. He then proceeded give chapters from the terrible lives of the industrial classes of NASBY IN THE SOUTH. A Peculiar Loulsiana (ostitution—The Louisiana State Lottery—What It is and How it is Conducted It Larren No, IX, New Onueans, March 13, 1884, All countrios, southern ones in particular, have a predilection for games of chancs, It will not do, however, to ascrihe the desire exclusively to the natives of southern coun- tries, for the stern New Euglander, the Puri- tan himeelf, had once a passion for such methods of scquiring wealth, New Hamp- rhire, and, we veliove, all the New England States, at one time authorized lotteries, and usod them as a means of paying off indebted- ness, building ronds, and equinping forces for the (efense of the Colonies, w . England and the Northern States generally, as states, have outgrown the lottery, however much in- dividuals in the cold Iatitudes have a passion for them. In Kurope the lottery is a government in- wtitution as much as _the tax-gathorer. Geor. muuy, Austria and Italy all have lotteries that are a part of the governmental system. Iu Austria loans are coutracted, the interest being paid in prizes determined by lot, and almost every Austoan and Italian purchases these tickets, The principal is paid by the government nt matu.ity, and the interest is divided among those making the loan. A man simply londs the government a hundred fluring at fiye per cent, Instead of receiving tive florius, he wnd all the other holders throw it into a pool, and five lucky men draw the interost from w million of such loans, Which to way, they prefer to take a chance of re- ceiving 100,000 florins to a certainty of re- coiviug five. And so the hundred florins bond lies from yoar to year,in tho hope of its eventually making the holder an independent man. “Iio same aystom is in vogue in New Or- leans, Tho City issues what are called *‘pre- minm honds,” the interast beiug_ distributed biocks by lot. These bonds they sell the muino as other soourities on_ which interest is paid in the usual way; in fact, they are pre- ferred. “I'he greateat lottory in the United States in located at Now Orloans, and this is how it is. The peoplo of the South, Louisiana espe- clally, and New Orleans more especially, hu auways boen dovoted putrons of the lottery. Enormous suma were annually sent abroad to Havaus, Vienna, Rome, and every whero else for tickets, ull of which told severely upon the resources of the stato. ‘Taking advantage of this tendency of tho people, irresponsible lot- tery compauies were formed all over the state, which were swindles of the commonest order. To remedy this, the legislature of the state, in 1868, authorized the incorporation of one lottery company, to be known as “The Loui- slana Stato Lottery Company,” with a capital of $1,000,000, avd enacted that this company should alone have the right to prosecute the business within tho state. The methods of conducting the business were all set forth with great exactness, and a certain percentage of the profits were requited to be devoted to the support of the hospitals of the city; and it was also provided that all drawings should be conducted by » Board of Commissioner pointed by the state, England as learned by himn during a three months tour in Merrie England, pros- perous, free trade England, in order to show the fearful condition of the labor- ing people of that country, and said the proposition now made was that the United States should enter the race with the world for cheapness which had led to such terrible results in England. There was nothing of so little vatue in England 88 & working man or woman with a rea- sonably good appetite. In one town he had seen women making trace chains, and yet the gentleman from Kentucky (Tur- ner) was returned to congress every year because he advocated placing trace chains on the free li After describing the wretched condi of the laborers in Birmingham and sur rounding towns, Kolley sai “God ror- bid that American labor should ever be embodied in any production that should be cheap enough to be sold to industrial towns surrounding Birmingham.” Much was heard about free raw mate ia'. He denied the free trade democracy of the country as represented on this floor was in favor of free raw material. Under the present tariff, said Kelley, every ele- ment of raw material which could be dis- covered was already on the free list. Kelley asked that the tariff rates be re- instated as he had hoped they would have been by the majority of the last congress. By abolishing the duty on quinine, the largest manufacturer in _the country had been obliged to send all his stock abroad and to employ cheap German labor and cheap raw material in its man- ufacture, By putting a duty of 2 and 1.10 cents per pound on_tin plates, the United States had succeeded in establish- i ies, but by the misplace- it has been held that the only duty of 11-10 cents had been imposed. The effect of this had been to strike down the industry. The sapient secratary of the treasury had held that the *‘highest” in the last tanff law meant “‘lowest,” and on account of that ruling the wire rod makers were import- ing wire rods pretty well made from the other side of the water. Mr. Hewitt, (N. Y.,,) suggested that the republican and not democratie tariff had done that. Mr. Kelley replied that if twenty per cent of the democrats in the the last con- gress had united with the republicans the tacil on wire rods would have been placed at such a rate as to enable Ameri- cans to manufacture them. Mr. Hewitt —~Would you have allowed us u; fix the thing in conference commit- oy—Yes, sir; no democrat serve on that committee save Car~ lisle, who served quietly in order to ob» serve what was d« ne. Mzr. Hewitt—Then the whole pesform- ance was a republican performance, deal with the materials you sent us. Are there republicans in this house who pro- pose to reduce the duty on wire rods 20 per cent who voted for it to- publicans or democrats, don’t let us talk about what ocourred » year ago, Lut us go back only twe hours. (Laughter.) Mr. Kelloy continued: Stop all impor- tation of cheap labor and send back to whatever country they come from men or women who had de contracts in foreign lands, ev em shipboard, to work at lower wiges than the wages of Amer- ican labor, (Applause ) Soe that the wages wore kepb.so high that the publio schools might be well sustained and chil- American women become degraded, Pro- teot American motherhoud agaiast the dugredation of becoming drudges in gloss works, iron forges aud rolling mills, ¥ necessary st us de olare eight hours as the largest period in 24 hours $hat men or machinery (may ran.

Adjourned, Mr. Kelley—The eonference had to| dren reasonably well educated. Lot not [ Under this act the company was organized, aud its stock taken by the very best citizens of the State, all classes of business mon being included on the list of stockholders, and the best citizens accapting positions in its man- agement. In 1870 the same provisions were iucluaed in the revised constitution of the state, giving the company the double seal of legality, legislative aund constitutional, Under this charter, or rather charters, the company has operated ever since. The stuck in the company is quoted regularly upon the stock exchange. 1ts stookholders, and those in the management from year to year, are among the best known business men of the city and state—men not ouly of recognized financial, but social position, It is essentially a State institution. The State hospital, one of the largest, best con- ducted, and 'best equipped in the United Wh #ome- 70 that came from the other was was the holder? No one knew. It body. He might be a barber in New Orleans, a farmer in Minnosota, or a millicnaire in Now York. All these classes are patrons of the company. The management know no more who holds the tickets that draw the prizes than do the hystanders—all there is of it, when the ticket is presented the holder re- ceives a chock on the New Orleans National Bank for the amount it calls for, and the transaction is over, so far as tho company is concerned. The deawing that T witnessed took place at the Academy of Musio, March 11. The theatre commenced filling up at about 10 w'elock, with poople of all grades, from the wealthy merchant who has wine at his dinner to the bootblack whose days are skirmishes with hungor. They all had an interest in the procoedings, At about 10:30 a dozen men ap- peared upon the stage, two evidently in charge. Une of these two, a rather under- sized man with a sparkling black eye, legs wlightly curved, a not large, but exceedingly well-proportioned body, a face expressive of y quick intalligence, hair, moustache orial silvery white, ' Thatis Gen G, . Beauregard, of whom the United States knows much. He once swore to water his horse in the Tennessee river, or, if not, in rome other place on one particular night. He didn’t water his horso in the Tonnessee that time, owing to circumstances over which he had certainly no control. But he tried, The other of the two is a very tall man with a head as bald as an egg on the top, and long white beard that swoops his bisom, slightly stooped, with a white slouched hat, under which there is a face that would mark its bearer as a Baptist clergyman rather than a1 & sanguinary warrior. 1t is a kindly face, with nothing especially chivalric or blood- thirsty in it, the face of a rather prosporous planter, who attended strictly to business and orked his land well. This is Gen. Jubal A. arly, of Virginia, who had the hono: of hav- ¢ o difference of opinion with Gen. Phil. Sherinan, in which Sheriden reaped a plenti- ful crop of honors and Early did not, except a8 it {8 no honor for any man to be beaten by Sheridan, These men were in the Fuhlic gazo 20 years ago—thoy are not now. 'They are to-day the commissioners who superviso the drawings of The Louisiana State Lottery, and they are reaponsible for everything connected with it. Thisre are two whsels on the stage, Tnts one, an immense affair, aro emptied tubes of pastoboard, which contain slips of peper, on which are numbers running from one to ono hundred thousand. The other wheel, much sunallor, contains tubes to the number of 1,967, which is the number of prizes t» be awarded. There is a tromendous difference between the wheel conuaining the li.'l’““ and the wheel holding the numbers. The onoe requires the muscle of two stalwart negroes to turn it, while the other a child might whirl, One reprements the blanks in life, the other prizes. The proportion runs about the samoin every- thing, in this imperfect world, It takes a great mony thousand men to bnild & railroad, but only one Vanderbilt to own it, Tho numbers are placed in the wheel, they are turned 80 as to be thoroughly mixed. One boy blindfolded. at the great whoeel takes out a tube and hands it to Gren. Early, who opens it and announces it ‘“Two thousand one mn- dred and sixty-four.” A boy, also blindfold- ed, at the other wheel takes out a tube and hands it to Gen, Beauregard, who opening it announces * y dollars.” The number ot the ticket and the prize it has drawn are both recorded, and the operation is repeated till the 907 tic kots are taken from thesm ller whosl. Lhoso present eit and watch carefully ‘There is no sensation while the smaller prizes are being drawn. As a matter of course,there will be five or ten minutes during which the prizes will be $25's and £50's,with an occasion- al $100. 'These excite no apecial attention. But there comes one which does excite atten- tion, Gon. Barly pronounces a number, and Gen. Beauregard, when the corresponding number is drawn, hesitates for a gnomont anf slowly announces X thousal dollars!” There ia a perceptible movement amung the audience, for £6,000 is a very zid{ sum of money for any one to have, especially when the investment that procured it was only 85, Presontly there is another sensation, A number is drawn, and Gen. Beauregard is a States, issupported by the company, not by donation, but in pursuauce of a provision in its charter. The payments to the hospital are made quarterly. 1u is » lirwe contributor to every charity, andit is the most important factor in tge material prosperity of the city. Its stoc holders are planters, mill-owners, sugar-refin. ers, aud real-wtate owners,who have an in est'in the city and State groater than any sociution within ita borders, Consequently the company Is the very centre and heart of all enterprises directed o the development of the State, Itis the promoter of the various railroad ~ enterpr and manufacturing schemes which have since the war done so much foward the development of the re- m%l:el of the Shhu. o i e company has to-daya larger capital than any baok in the state, and its financial resourcs are practically unlimited. No one in New Orleans questions its integrity. No matter what may be thought of the morals of lotteries in the abstract, the state of Louisiana believesin them, and it has made a giant cor- poration, and 8o hedged it around that it stands the severest ible tests. "The claracter and standing of those who, from time to time have been in it. manage- [ Pa: meut hat never been questioned, either on the legislativa floor or in the press, = 1t owes its existencoto a vote of the people of the state, who twice endorsed it— once by amajority of 60,000 votes —and it isso hedged wih safeguards that it possesses their entire coutidence, The managers know noth- iug of thedrawings; the commissioners, w] wo really state officials, have sole control of every detail ‘They have al- wuys acual possession of every ballot placed iu tae wheels, and they can reap no beuefit whitever from any drawing. Added to this souee of contidenes is the additional fact that mun of the very highest commercinl iutegrity am active iu it, owniug its stock and conwrolling its operations, There is scarcely @ bauker or merchant in New Or eans who is not directlyinterested in it, aud tlley take as wuch pride in its reputation as they do in their own rivate business.

That is something like it. Six thousand dollars does very well as a starter in life, but the lucky winner of 825,000 can, if he be 4 man of moderate tastes, retire on that. Still this is nothing, or at least it isn’t what that are waiting for. Presently a number is announced, and Gen, Beauregard, with pro- voking slowness, announces *'S-e-v-o-n--t-y- fi-v-8 thousand dollars.” There 1s a sensation for that is the capital prize. The one that everybody hopes to draw. Only one gets it, however,” It is Vanderbilt and his laborers over agail In this scheme there is one prize of $75,000, one of $25,000, one of $10,000, two of $6,000, five of $2,000, ten of 81,000, twenty of $500, one hundred of $200, and so on down to 1,000 of 85 oach, with approximation prizes of $751), 8500 and $250. ‘Who bagged the great prize? Who was he orshe? No one knows. One man may hold the whole ticket and will receive the whole amount, or it may be divided into fifths, and may be held by five persons, in which event the comfortabie sum will be divided into five ts, The successful numbers, with the amount they have drawn, are published the next day after the drawing, and within a week or two the prizes are mostly claimed and paid. In this case, the capital prize went to some one in Lilinois, who sent for it through the bank in his village, and the sum was sent himina draft, ‘What will he do withit? Itis a comfort- able sum o have for any man, old or young, and it may make him or mar him, according to his beut.
