From the Ncw > York World which
contains a full report of the pro
ceedings of the Tammany Hall fourth of
July celebration, Tills Times-Recokiieii
makes the following synopsis of the
speech of Hon. Chas, F. Crisp before
that body last Saturday:
Congressman Crisp, of Georgia, a can
didate for speaker of the next houso of
representatives, was given a most hearty
welcome. The members of the Wigwam
cheered until ho bowed acknowlcdg-
‘inents several times. He spoke ns fol
lows:
At each reclining anniversary of that
immortal declaration which you have
just heard so beautifully read, this ro-
uuwned society assembles in its ancient
hall to pledge anew its • devotion and
allegiance to the principle of popular
government. That declaration, made
good and effective by the valor, tho de
votion and self-sacritlcing patriotism of
the fathers, signalized tho Imagination
of a movement which resulted in tho
establishment of the government under
which wo live. After eight years of a
struggle, and privation and hnrdshiD,
our arms were successful and our Inde
pendence assured. Then Virginia, the
mother of states and of statesmen, pro
posed a convention of the states to form
a national or federal government. The
convention met, and after long delibera
tion presented for ratification by the
states a constitution. This constitutfon
was ratified, and thus was born that
new nation now loved and revered at
home, and knowh — and respeoted
throughout the world as the United
States of America. For more than a
century wo have lived and prospered
under that government. * *
The true Amerfcan idea- is equality.
Laws which are unequal, laws which im-
poso burdens upon some in ordor tljat
others maybe benefltted, laws which
enable some to exact a tribute from the
labor and substance of others, laws
which grants privileges to certain lines
of business, and deny such privileges to
all others, are undemocratic and un-
American. They have no place in our
system. Equal rights to all'and special
privileges to none is the American Idea,
and any law that violates this rule, no
matter under what specibus plea It is
passed, Is unjust, undemocratic and a
violation of the rights of the masses of
the people
Thirty years ago onr manufactures,
our agriculture and our commerce flour
ished, general prosperity prevailed,
wealth was diffused among the people.
Texas were low and all raen^could And
steady employment at reasonable wages.
To-day this 1* not so. The nation Is
rich, but the masses of its people are
poor. More than a million dollar! go
dally Into our treasury, and many mil
lions of Industrious, hard-working,
honest people And unremunera-
tlve the legitimate and proper
busineee in which they are engaged
The wealth of the country le consoli
dated in the hande of the few. With a
population of sixty-two million, one-half
of our national wealth is owaed by less
than thirty thousand. Agriculture, our
chief industry, languishes, and our com
merce is destroyed. Men At to be free
men, men capable of self-government,
will investigate for tbemeelvee the canee
of this lamentable change In our condi
tion and they will And It large)/ in onr
unjust, unequal and unfair tariff laws. It
has been well said that the power to tax
la the power to destroy. By indirection,
under the taxing power, that may be
done which if directly attempted would
be clearly violative of our fundamental
law. The tax of 10 per cent on etate
bank circulation as perfectly and com
pletely prevents such issue, as would a
law expressly forbidding It and yet os-
tenelbly that law was passed to raise
revenue. The taxing power may be also
used to upbuild certain lines of business
at the expense of others.
Mr. Crisp then attacked the present
high tariff laws. Ho said that bot£> par
ties agreed wo must raise money from
customs duties. He said that any tariff
law which would afford sufficient reve
nues for the proper conduct of the gov
ernment would at the same time give the
American manufacturer such an advan
tage over European manufacturer* as to
enable him to pay the difference in the
cost of labor here and there.
The republican party was not satisfled
with this degree of protection. Its ob
ject was to give advantage to the manu
facturer and not to the laborer. This
law increased the cost of all the neces
saries of life and deprived ng of a mar
ket for our surplus. The Chinese wall,
which the Republicans had built, shot
in, as well ns ont Onr great surplus of.
agricultural products must be exchanged
for other products abroad, and we could
not make such exchange profltably If we
had to leave at our custom-houses one-I TJ|R
half or one-third of that for' which we'l 1
had exchanged our crops. Foreign
countries could not always buy Irom us
unless we sometimes bought from them;
no man can continually* buy unless he
can sometimes tell. All men were Wil
ing to protect the Interest of the labor
ing man, but our present law goes away
beyond any question of that sort and is a
positive injury to him. • • •
They, seated members who hod not
been elected, they increased largely the
number of office holders. They sus
tained their speaker iu arbitrary and
unjust denials of the rights of the
minority, and,they dissipated in reckless
and Inexcusable extravaganco the large
surplus, which, under democratic rule,
had accumulated in the public treasury.
This was themostun-Americancongress
that ever assembled. Midway In Us
career the elections name off, and this
party of honesty anil moral Ideas had so
abused the trust that had been reposed
in it that, with a unanimity almost un
paralleled in any country, they wore
contemptuously hurled from power,
To the fifty- second congress the pco
pie returned a democratic majority of
150.Was ever rebuke noire promptly ad
ministered, and was it over more richly
deserved? This part}', which claim# to
be American, endeavored in the senate
to stifle tho voice of the states. When
England sought to destroy and oppress
the people of Ireland, parliament adopt
ed the cloture rale. Whon tlie repub
lican party sought by tho passage of the
force bill to prevent a free and fair ex
presslon of the popular will it endeav
ored Inlho.Senate to stifle full and free
debato and adopt tbe English cloture
rule here, and this, they claim, is the
great American party t
Mr, Crisp, in conclusion said:
The democratic party is tho party of
the people, if we are united and earnest
and tireless in our efforts at the next
election we will triumph all along the
line, and for the first time in thirty
years will be In a condition to make laws
for tho people. We can elect a pros!
dent, a senate and a house of rephesenta-
tivefi Then our responsibility will be
gin; then we can do much for the relief
of tbe peoqle; then we can, amply car
ing for the Interests of labor, greatly dl
minisb taxation, reduce public expendi
ture, restore our commerce, foster our
agriculture, encourage our manufactures
and thus bring to the masses of the
American people prosperity to whloh
they have long been strangers, and that
peace'and contentment which prosperity
alone can bring.
