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.

Tho senhjeCt bceulflb fsarly more i iq ort mt aa the cffWie) of ndmimstruiioh' an nually increase. □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.
