Our Representative’* Maiden Speech fn the House*•Acquits Himself Like an Old Stager Washington, May 2 .—J udge Stewart was tbo first member of lb© j Georgia delegation to make a tariff speech. He spoke tonight to a small house, but was congratulated by all democrats present. It was the Judge’s maiden set speech, in the halls of congress, but he acquitted himself like an old stager. Judge Stewart said, in brief, that taxation was not a sentiment, but a stubborn fact; that at no time in the history of this government had the necessity been greater tuau at pre sent, that only sufficient revenue should be collected for an economical administration of the government. He said that $80,000,000 was re quired to discharge the pension roll of this year; $40,000,000 to pay in- terest on the public debt, and nearly j $20,000,000 for current expenses,and | that this vast sum ot money J has to i , be raised , from , the . hard . , earnings of , | j the people, either by direct taxation or by adding to the cost of articles of consumption; and, not withstand ing all this, under the system of the high protective tariff, a surplus of DMT $65,000,000 is accumulating annually to the treasury. The bus- iness interests of the country will be paralyzed if thta surplus is not re- duced. It is a menace to good gov ernment,and a temptation to wicked and extravagant legislation' He said it waa a well established j rule , of , political economy, that iuxur | ies weretho P ro P° r BUb i e#te of taxa tion, and that taxes should bo laid on the necessaries of life as light as pos sible. He insisted that this whole some rule had been adopted in con nectioa with the Mills bill. That whilo he was willing to vote for the repeal of the tobacco tax, and while not specially wedded to the of internal revenue tax, yet he re garded spirituous liquors as a luxury that life e old be maintained without, and prefer,**d that it should be taxed rather than the necessities of of life, He said it would be wise legisla- tion to gi\e the people cheaper food and cheaper clothing, rather than cheap whisky. While it was claimed that the internal revenue law was a war tax, and therefore should be re pealed, we should not lose sight the fact that the effects of war are still with us. That the war has cost already more than six billion dollars, and he doubted whether we were half done paying its cost. He gave an illnstration of the number and amount of dutiable articles used in an ordinary sized family in moderate circumstances, *nd showed the amount of duty under the present law and wh.l the amount of duty un- der Mills b i would be, and showed that the d:.Terence would aiuwunt to about one hundred dollars per 1 annum in favor ol the Mills bill. , This illustration was so clear and simple that it will b- easily under stood by every owe, and many regard it as a good point in favor of the Mills bill. He said all legiri.tion the , result , of . , was compromising con- cessions and that tariff laws ocepiy concerned concerned the the business business interests interests of ot the entire country. That it required the exercise of good judgement in spired by feelings of patriotism, and that we should realize in the sense that we are American citizen?, legislating for a great people, i and j Girls’ Slippers, LADIES’ SLIPPERS.
