TARIFF FACTS AND CURRENCY TRUTHS Ohio's Senior Senator Makes Unanswerable Ropublican Arguments — He kxplaing His Party's Position on all the Lead- tng Issues of the Campuign. PHILADELPIIA, 8., Oct. 8.—The followlng s & synopsis of the speech of Senator Sher- man delivered here tonight: Senator Sterman said that inaswmuch as this was a business men’s meeting he would confine himself to business questions in- volved in this presidential election, The wholo aspect of the tariff question, he said, nad been changed by the recent action of the democratic convention at Chicago. For the first time in the history of the country hud & national party dared to proclaim that a tariff for protection was unconsututional and was & fraud upon the laborer for the benefit of the few. It wasa bola declaration, as bold as the rebellion, and had been met by the American people in the same spirit as they met the rebeilion, There should be no truce or parley until this issue was deter- miued, not by war, but by the voice of the American people, ¥ to Impose Dutles, *The power to impose duties on imports," continued the senator, riginally belonged to tho several states, The right to adjust these duties, with a view to the encourage- ment of aomestic branches of industry, is so vompletely identical with tho power that it is aificult to suppose the existonce of the one without the other, The states have del- egated thewr whole authorily over imports to the federal government without limitation or restriction, saving the very inconsiderable restriction relating to thelr iuspection taws. This authority thus having entirely passed from tho states, the right to exerciso it for the purposa of protection does not exist in them and, consequently, if it b8 noL pos- sessed by tho general government it must be oxtinet. Our political system would thus present the anowmaly of & people strippea of the right 1o foster their own industry aud to counteract tho most selfish and destructive h might bo alopted by foreign Mis surely cannot be Lhe case— that indispensable power thus suzcendored Dy the states must be within tho scope of the authority upou the subject. expressly delogated Lo Congress, “They alsn tell us that protection s a fraud upon the labor of the American people for the benelit of the few. What right has the democrulic party of today Lo speak for the lavoring meu of this country!

Ivery ovo of the of public’ policy aaopted by tuo 'ty which have aistinguisted vears has tended Lo promote the last thirty the good of Lhe peoplo—of the common peo- ple, us Mr. Lincolo catled them—and none has been more fruitful of good to the people, and especially Lo those who labor, taan the re- ?nblmln policy of protecting their industries Yom undue forelgn competition, Frotection Wil Be Mulutuined. Ougress mav not in all cases have fixed the Just rate of duly, for this depends upon obauging couditions of demand aad supply, but the vrineiple adopted is plaio and siaple, that lu colleciing our revenues from | mported £00ds we will discriminate in favor ol howe productions us agawnst foreigu productio competiug with ours. 1f the republican PArLy succeeds at this election the protective icy will be maintained and the McKin'ey w will only be changed as the expediency ©f the Lime demoustrates the neceasity of awondwents. If the democratic party suc- @oeds wo must be prepared Lo vote on the changes in our tariff laws, to be made with- out rogard to the wages and interest of the laborer or of the capital empioyed in manu- factures., *“This threateaed destruction of our homo industries is made by an unnatural altiance of the cottou grower in the south, the fres trader in commercial circles aud the dille- tante dudes who now follow the fashions of tho old world because ‘Itis English, you know.’ Cotuage of Silver. *“The sccond business of national policy of great importance to which 1 have re- ferred, is whether the coinage of silver shall vo free, whether the holder of 4123 graius of standard silver or 8703 gransof pure silver can present it to the treasury of the United States and have it coined for him mto a dollar. ‘That much silver is worth in the market about 67 cents. 1f the colnage of silver is made froe, then all the siver now in existence, estimated at $4,000,- 000,000, and all 'the silver hereafter mined, amounting last year at colnage value 10 $155,000,000 and aunually wereasing, could be brought to our mints and coined into dol- lars at the expense of tho United States and for the benefit of the owner of silver.

Tho tux referred to was imposed in the midst of the civil war, after a full debate ana considerauon, not for the purpose of revenue, but to get rid of the mass of paper money 1ssued under the laws of the several states of the denomina- tions from $1 to $1,000, I am now amazed that any antelligent man, democrat or repub- Jican, who has lived long enough to know the truth orread the history of his couunwry, could be now willing to open the door again to-this kind of money, Toe cuolce is now he- tween national moucy, backed by the power and credit of the government, and the ve- jecved, prohibited aud unconstitutional bills uf creait 1ssued by the locul banks, under the authority of forty-four states, with powers us diverse as the animal creatiou.

Oune of the effects of the cholera sensation has been to add another to the arguments in favor of the republican protective polic; That is the opinion of Henry T. Oxnard of the Oxnard Bset Sugar compeay of Grand Island, who was in the city yesterdsy. In conversation with & reporter Mr. Oxnard said that tho cholera scare had given the American peovle an object lesson on the value of prctection as applied to 1ndustries which are susceptible of development but which hiad not been developed in the.United States. 'ako as an instance,” he contwnued, “the sugar inaustry, Ono of the effects of the cholera scare was to aavauce tho price of sugar $3,000,000 in about six weeks. Nearly all the imported beet sugar comes from Hawburg and Antwerp. As an em- bargo was laid upon imports from these ports for about six weeks American sugar refiners had to look elsewhere for their raw material. The Cubans seized the opvortunity and raised the price of their sugar over one-half ceut per pound to American retiners. Tbey in turn raisea tle price of refined sugar to the cousumers and as @ direct consequence of the increasea price paid by the consumers 3,000,000 was transferred from the pookets of the American people to tnese Spaniards insige of six weeks. The same rale applies o any industry in whick we place ourselves at the mercy of foreign nations who will nov hesitate to tax us to the utmost Limit in our misfortune, and iu the event of a European war, which is not only possible but prob- able, there is no doubt that the cane sugar producing countries will raise the price to such au exteot that in a singlo year we would have to pay more in the increasea price of sugar than it would cost us to de velop this industry upder the protective system as it exists today, to say nothing of tho great advantage which our farming classes would derive {rom the introduction of a new crop which promises 5o muct foe the future. *'Are wo Kolug 10 yiold our industrial su- premacy by Lsteninz to the voice of free wraders” woose judgment is under the sway of foreign theorists, instigated as they ar by foreign nations whose Jealousy and hatred of our uuparall- eled suvancement knows no bounds, What 1s true of beet sugar will apply equally to any industry that is capable of development under our government. Our Bucesiors pro- tectea this country aud made it what 1t is by the sword, and 1t is tue duty of every American citizeu who loves bis country to protect aud still further advance its develop- ment by the agency of the ballot, Facts as they exist stould not be abaudoned for the doubtiul theories of free traders who are allies of foreigners and foreign nations,’” Kepublican Centra: Committee, The republican county central committee met yesterday afterncon and ratilied the chairman’s selection of ap executive eow- mittee.
