Senator Davtd B. FIlll spolte n* fol
low* to >o imraenu assemblage at Bui-
/•lo, N. Y.i
1 am bare to-night to aid Ic the pro
motion of Democratic principle! nnil to
adYocate the election of Grover Cleve
land and Adlai K. Btovenaon.
No apology or explanation i* needed
for my course. For over ten year* it lint
been my custom at each annual clccticn
to appear before my feliow-cittr.cn* and
contribute my share toward* the discus
sion of the political questions of the hour.
You did not believe that this campaign
would prove an exception to tho usual
rule and you are not disappointed.
Among honorable men the loyal dis
charge of political duty outweigh* all
minor considerations; and in this crisis
of our country's history nnd in this great
emergency in our party's affair* individ
ual disappointments or even alleged per
sonal injustice should bo subordinsted In
the faithful performance of political oh
ligations, not ns a mere matter of ex
pediency but from a high and stern aensu
of duty.
Permit mo to suggest that wo have nil
of ua now a mission to fulfil. Potty jenl-
ousles must be dismissed; regular orgnni-
nations must be respected; party disci
pline must be enforced; dissensions must
be healed and apathy must give way to
enthusiasm, in order that tho grand old
party to which wo are proud to belong
may aecuro tho triumph of right princi
ples and work out the noolo destiny
which ought surely to await it.
The cautrol of this Government foi
many years to come liy one or tho otlior
of the two great political parties is the
prize nt hozsrd in the pending contest,
in which all other considerations should
sink into insiguilicauee.
These are not merely formal words, in
tended to arouse tho lethargy or to sootlio
the wounded feelings of earnest friends,
but aro a tit supplement to the senti
ments which I had the honor of cxpics.
ling before tho Democratic Slate Con
vention nt Albany in February last, im
mediately after ita nction unanimously
instructing the dologntea from my untlve
State to prascut ray nainu ns its first
choice to the upproaching National con
vention. I thou said:
“And now you must pardon me
while I run countot to your toolings to
say that the choice of your next stand
ard bearer is n matter of tho very least
importance, being Bttlctly subordinate to
that aupremo object—a Democratic Na
tional victory next November.”
I meant what 1 said on tliut occasion
and 1 reiterate it now. Tho test of true
Democracy is tho support of rogular
party nominations, irrespeotivo.of ques
tions of personal pride, ouo's own am
bition or individual preferences.
VRDRHAI. TAXATION.

cmraftY are divided upon th» 'lilt

□ow shall the enormous expenditures
of the Government bo piovided fori
How shall its necessary reveuues he
raised I It is conceded by both partios
that tho beat and oaaiest mothod of real
izing the needed revenue is by taxation
imports. It -is also ad
mitted that a few internal taxes should
be pennittod to exist, but that thu main
and priucipal revenues should bo de
rived from the imposition ot tarill
duties. Upon this point there is no
substantial division ot sentiincut. It is
true that thorn are some extreme mou,
now ostensibly acting with thu Demo
cratic Party, but who do not control its
councils or policy, who are opposed to
all tariff taxation ami favor direct tax
ation as the best means of uieuliug our
~atioual expenditures, in substantially
same manner that our State tuxes
i raised.
There can be uo reasonable doubt that
tariff taxation will coutiuuo to bo the
permanent policy of the Government,
notwithstanding the opinions ot these
sincere but iiupraclicablo theorists who
advise its abandonment.
TUR rURCISR ISSUE.
i The dispute between tho two parties
arise! over the extent, effect and objects
of our taxation. Shall tariff taxation be
Imposed for revenue only or shall it be
used for the purpose ot I09tering private
industries t
This is stating the quostiou as nearly
aa 1 am capable of doing it. The propo
sition involves the power ot the Govern
ment, the true purposes of taxation, the
propriety of the exorcise of the twe
methods proposed, nnd tho results pro
duced bearing upon the taxpayer nnd the
country. Tuo power of the Govern
ment to mire revenue by a tariff upon
imports is undisputed, but its constitu
tional power to impose a tariff for any
other ostensible purposo is questioned.
The conclusive and sufficient objec-
ion to a protective tariff Is that it is su
abuse of the taxing power of the Gov-
ijment; it compels the whole people
a few; it is a system
lice and unfair disoriny-
nds to build up monop
I Democratic position is so plain
[ reasonable that he who reads mav
stand it. It believes that the truo
itutional purpose of a taut! is
j of necessary revenue for tho
I the Government—and that is
l the tariff be high or low as the
Government may require.
: be an high or low as to create
the Treasury. The place
[taxes is in the pockets ol the
, iu tho Federal Treasury.
r ration it that tilt
use its powers ol
with such industries. Tho Republicans
believo that the question of revenue
should be a minor consideration in the
forming of a tariff bill, and that tho fost
ering of some industries should bo tho
primary one. They shut their eyes to
the fact that they aro unnecessarily inter
fering with the natural laws of trade.
They ignore the value of foreign trade or
assume to bollevo that foreign countries
will trade with ns although wn purchase
nothing from them. They forget thnt
reciprocity cannot be one aided. They
appeal to the selffslmess of tho people
and to their naturnl jealousies of nnd
animosities against foreign countries.
Tho arguments of the Republicans in
support of this system are inconsistent
with each other, they in one breath alleg
ing that n high protective tariff keeps up
prices and in another breath that it re
duces them. “You pay your money and
tako your choice." Our opponents are
as versatile and accommodating in their
argument in this respect as was
the ignorant village schoolmaster
who hud mudo application to teach
n country school nnd when exam
ined by tlie local committee ns to his
qualilications was asked tiic question
“whether tho world was round or flat?”
replied that it made no difference to him
—that lie would teach “thnt the world
was round or lint just ns thu committco
preferred."
I do not believe that our American
manufacturers require the protection
which the Republican Party seems to ho
so anxious to foist upon them, especially
if they wore provided with free raw ma
terials as tiie Democratic Party proposes
to do. \Yo are already underselling for
eign manufacturers in most or many of
thu markets of the world, and if we can
compete witli them abroad, especially in
their own markets, there would seem to
be no real necessity of taxing our people
longer in order to onnblo our owu manu
facturers to compete with foreign ones
nt our very (loots.
All that America needs is a free Held
nnd u fnir fight in tho men oi iifo nnd
sho will prove invinciblo in nearly every
department of human activity, it is a
narrow and contracted view, however,
thnt seeks to keep our country from con
tact with tho (.'oimnerco of tho world.
Tho Rupublicnn orator who bonstingly
asserts that thu Uuitod States can raise
nnd inauufncturu everything wo need,
thnt foreign commerce should not be
sought after or foreign markets consid
ered, nnd that our American farmers
should bo content with home markets
and homo prices, and thnt we can nnd
should ho independent of all tho rest of
tho world, may gratify tho selflsh and
fiilso pride of his hearers, but ho only ex
hibits his ignorance of history nnd his
lack of comprehension of tho true
sources of guuuiuu prosperity.
TUB DAVKNFOUT VOKOR HIM..
The last step which the Rjpublicnu
Party look in tho direction of central-
iced government was in the attempted
enactment of (lie offensive nnd iniquitous
measure now known ns tho Davenport
Force bill. When this bill was ponding
In Congress in tho summer of 18110 Iliad
the honor of spenkiug in reference to its
provisions as follows:
“it tho people are thoroughly aroused
tho nature aud iulquitios of the bill,
fifi tho purty which has conceived it and Is
now hastening to enact it will be burled
under an nvainueho of remonstranoo at
the next election.”
' Tlie election of that full elbowed that
the people were intensely arouiod and
that the bill was most emphatically con
demned by an indignant people. Yet
immediately alter that electiou tho Re
publicans attempted to pass the bill, but
.tiffin ks to tho bold stand of our Demo-
'emtio Senators in Congress, aided by u
few independent and fearless Republi
cans, its onactmuut was prevented and
tire cdlntry was saved trom its disgrace.
I have read in detail the prolix nnd
preposterous provisions of tho Davenport
iiill, and l kp. uk uot as a partisan, butnB
an American citizen, jealous ot tlie lib
erty which my countiy’s institutions
secure for me, aud devoted to tho preser
vation of tho simplicity of her govern
mental system,when I donouuce this meas
ure as a dangerous exercise of constitu
tional authority, a menace to our theory of
government and uu insult to the people ol
the States. It is an nrbitnry act of despot
ism, juatilled by no precedent, made
necessary by no noliticul conditions, but
put forward solely to insure Republican
control of Cougress.
Like many oilier partisan conspiracies
tho Davenport bill is proposed in tho
name of reform, and its defenders pro-
tend to Hud warrant for it in that pro
vision of the Constitution which de
clares:
“The times,places nnd mannor of hold
ing elections for Senators aud Represen
tatives shall be prescribed in each Slate
by tho Legislature thereof; but the Con
gress may at any tirno by law make or
alter such regulations, except as to ths
places of choosing Senators."
Fur a hundred years this provision
lias remained in our organic law, and no
Congress has been hold enough to exer
cise the undoubted right which its terms
give under certaiu extraordinary circuit!
stances to unuut Stale election laws and
place virtually the entire control of elec
tions of Representatives in the hands of
Federal supervisors. No Congress has
yet been bold enough to exercise it be
cause no great emergency for which ii
was designed lias arison, and no Con
gress, except the last, has had tlie tem
erity to place auy other construction up
on its meaning than that put by the
convention which framed, ami the peo
ple who ratified it.
Uuder what authority, then, and upon
what plea do men thus attempt to sub-
cert tho Constitution, establish tin im-
luenso army of Federal spies, incur an
expense of many millions, sat one class
of officers against another, annul State
laws and make partisan Federal ap
pointees the judges of elections.
There is no authority for it and noex-
cme. It is a policy of force aud par
tisanship. it is the lust arbitrary re'ort
of an unscrupulous and tyranuical ma
jority. It is the design of a party which,
afraid to leave the question of its con
tinuance in-power to the freo vote of the
American people, is ready to employ any
methods which will proloug its teuura
of office.
Have you thought what an immense
political machine tha enforcement ot
such a law would create? An armv el
lJl),000 workers aud resources of $10,-
000,000 for every Congressional election
who does not be'lev* such a bill as' thii
to be a hostile blow at our form and
theory of government, and I pity the
partisan prejudices which prevents pa
triotic men from joining in tho denun
ciation which they must feol for such an
uncalled-for usurpation of power; but 1
am surprised at tbe hypocrisy of states
men who urgo and defend it upon the
ground of puro elections, and I am
amazed at the audacity of politicians
who have devised it os a scheme of party
policy.
HKPOBMCAN CORHUPTI0H.
The country has not fr. -gotten tha
scandalous corruption of four rears ago.
by which tho Republican Party came
into power. It has not forgotten the
enormous sums coltccted from manufac
turers for tbo bribery of voters; in the
doubtful States. It has not forgotten
those two epistolary incidents of tho
campaign—the Foster “fat-frying" cir
cular and Dudley's “blocks-of-flve"
letter.
And it is yet not ready to believe that
the chief participants in those outrageous
performances and I ho principal bauefl-
ciarie* of this wholesale corruption are
other than hypocrites nnd betrayers of
the country's welfare.
Tlie Davenport bill, instead of being
In tho interest of pure elections, is a
direct thrust at them. To prevent such
scenes us characterized the election »*
1888 several States have recently im, .
reform laws which, it is believed, will
mako bribery and intimidation almost
impossible. New York has such a law. In
Indiana there is one. Connecticut and
New Jersey each have oue. Numerous
other States now have them. But tho
Davenport bill, if enforced, would
prncticnlly render those luws useless,
although its provisions are carefully
worded to produce au opposite impres
sion.
1 will not charge that the framers of
thnt bill deliberately intended to prevent
the operation of those luws iu Federal
elections, hut wlieu we now know that
a notoriously versutile supervisor of elec
tions in New York is the author of this
bill, aud when I hear men who sit in
high places hy virtue ot corrupted suf
frages talk loudest in their advocacy of
this measure, f feel justified in tho sus
picion that tlie party which debased
thousands of voters in 1888 Is not averse
to removing the obstacles to a similar
carnival of corruption in future elec
tions.
THU COONTHY UNDRRSTANnS TUB PLOT.
Thu features of this iniquitous bill I
need uot describe to you. Thu mere
recital of them is sufficient to make them
execrable.
Under their enforcement there would
bo danger of riot nt every poll. The
inquisitoral aud srbitray powers con
ferred upon the supervisors of election
would uot lie tolerated at tunes of po
litical excitement. The country would
practically ho paying for a house-to-
house canvass iu every electiou district
for tho information and advantage of tho
Republican Party. The sacred right of
representation would depend upou tho
integrity of a few partisan officers. Tbo
conflict bolweeu tile Statu aud Federal
authority would bo radioal nnd violent.
Respect for law would bo broken down
among tlie ignorant. Free expression
of the popular will would bo gagged by
a horde it unscrupulous partisans.
Race prejudice would be engendered at
tlie South—fierce party feeling, if not
open robelllou, everywhere. Govern
ment would be a sham; it would be
government by au oligarchy ot office
holders.
It the Republicans should carry the
comiug electiou there is no moral doubt
that this measure will be pressod again.
The party which has so firmly In
trenched itself in power; thu party
widen set at dctianco the will of the
pcoplo by arbitrarily overturning popu
lar majorities in the last Congress;
which lias obtained the menus of pro
fuse expenditure by legislative favorit
ism; which has created States to in
crease its political strength nnd which
proposed iu tho Davenport Force bill to
make itself tlie urbiter of every Fed
eral electiou—thnt party will not hesi
tate to revive this bill nt the very first
opportunity, if a Republican President
sml a Republican Cougress shall In tha
result of t'nia electiou.
AVe must diligently oxert ourselves to
oppose this greut issue of ceutralizition
which certainly confronts us. It pro
scuts u mure serious problem than any
commercial, industrial or financial ques
tion, more vital to our country's future
welfare, more essential to thj preserva
tion of our institutions.
