®hq Jerald and ^<totrtisei[. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Feb. 10, 1888. GOOD TARIFF TALK. A. Forcible Presentation of the Tariff Reform Doctrine. Philadelphia Record, 28th ult. The great audience which filled the Academy of Music last night at the first tariff reform meeting ever held in Philadelphia or Pennsylvania was a splendid and striking evidence of the firm hold the reform movement has gained in this city. The eloquence of the speakers was commensurate with the size and enthusiasm of' the aud ience, and there could have been no more auspicious and fitting inaugura tion of a movement which seems des tined to have a great influence upon the future prosperity of the city and State. Mr. Wilson Welsh, one of the wealthiest and most prominent He pub licans in Philadelphia, presided. He was introduced by Mr. W. M. Singerly, (alitor and proprietor of the Philadel phia Jtccovd. In the course of his re marks Mr. Welsh said: “I believe that, with wise legislation, we can compete with the world in the leading and necessary products; that a revision of the tariff has become a ne cessity, in view of our situation, and that the present and future welfare of the laboring classes depends upon the manner of our doing it. “As in the past, whenever an issue has been fairly made and discussed before the American people they ha ,- e been eventually decided in the right way, so now I believe that the dis cussion begun by the President will produce such results as will vindicate the wisdom of his policy and justify the confidence with which he has ap pealed to the judgment and intelligence of the American people.” Letters of regret were read from Hugh McCullough, who was Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents .Johnson and Arthur; Secretary Fair- child, Congressman S. S. Cox, W. L. Scott and other distinguished gentle men. The principal speakers were Con gressman W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and lion. Frank Hurd, of Ohio. Mi. Breckinridge said ifi substance: “To-night, in this old city of Philadel phia, with the sound of the bell of In dependence ringing in my heart, I have come to talk of the true freedom: that the American citizen is to be free from any practical taxation other than the just burden that he ought to bear as a free citizen in a free republic. [Ap plause.] The American Congress, less than (dgliteen months ago, with a House of. B tqiresentatives upon which the Constitution primarily imposes the duty of passing bills to raise the reve nue, solemnly decided that this great question was not worthy of its consid eration. The President of the United States has, with equal solemnity, de cided that it is the only question that is now worthy of the people. [Ap plause.] “Eliminating all other questions from the political contests of (50,000,000 free men, hesitating not because of per sonal interest or exalted place, this resolute, simple, heroic civic officer has made it the issue in every house from one end of America to the other. He has brought to the bar of public justice and public arbitrament the iniquities of that system which goes to overflow the surplus and debauch the public morals. We are in somewhat different condition to-day from that we -were in when the lower House of Congress re fused to consider this subject. It had been estimated that there would be scarcely a surplus in the public Treasury; $1(14,000,000 of outstanding 3 percent, bonds were subject to call, that might absorb whatever was poured into the public Treasury, and there was an outlet for that surplus revenue. To-day there is no outlet for that surplus revenue. That great prophet of American finance, Mr. John Sherman, effectually tied the hands of the American government so that it could not pay its outstanding bonds with its incoming revenue, and to-day the bonds, which will Tnot begin to fail due until 1891, are beyond our reach except at excessive premiums, and we are paying excessive • interest upon these bonds, while our surplus is going into the treasury at the rate of nearly $100,000,000 per year. And that surplus is so much subtracted from your business enterprises, and that cir culation which is subtracted is as nec essary to your bodies as the blood is necessary to the healthy operations of the body political. It is drawn silently every day; it is drawn from every channel of trade, everv business house. labor, and that it is protecting Ameri can manufactures. “I come to-night to preach the evangel of the promotion of American industry as against this so-called false system of protection of American labor. I come to-night to plead for an increase of American manufactories; for the re moval of burdens off American manu factories and American enterprises; I come to plead for the removal of a sys tem that prevents American wealth in every department in which it is needed. Wherever there is a problem pressing for settlement to-night we are confront ed with this system of taxation and we cannot move a step for fear of hurting some American manufacture. “Twenty-five years ago our flag was seen in every port. Our ships were as the white caps that ran with the prog ress of the waves and kissed the for eign shores. Now our flags in their visitations, like the visits of angels, are few and far between. The export trade of America is not carried in American vessels; and for fear that the duty on cordage or some product might re ceive a shock we gave up the com merce, the carrying trade of the world, to bless the American labor that cuts a few pine trees in Maine. “But that is not all. What we want is to restore our commerce. You have lost your shipping, and you cannot re cover it, for you cannot carry a cargo at a profit to a port where you cannot buy a cargo at an advantage. You cannot sell where you cannot buy, and, therefore, as you cannot buy, the first tiling that a citizen of America does is to go abroad and purchase a cargo, and he is, without judge or jury,- fined $46 for every $100 worth of goods he bears to America—which makes a criminal out of him. And the more enterprising he is the more infernal is his immor ality and criminality, [Applause.] “And so it is with every problem that is pressing the American Congress to day. It finds the obstacle to its settle ment in this system, which we have put upon ourselves iii the last twenty- seven years. You tell me, liowevqr, that this system has been put upon us, and that, therefore, it Is not good faith to reverse it. I admit it, in all its length and breadth. I find, as I come to discharge the public duties which, bv virtue of the commission I bear from a generous people which has honored me with its trust, that there has been immense sums of money in vested in plants all over America. It would be a violation of good faith to wantonly and recklessly reverse that fiscal system. It would be improper and unwise statesmanship to produce revolution or distress by too erratic and sudden changes. He who would undertake to meet this problem must meet it in the spirit of cautious inquiry, with studious intelligence, so that, as far as it maybe done, no harm can come to those who have invested under the operation of this system, and that any change shall be cautiously, gradually and wisely done, so that the process of readjustment may go hand-in-hand with the process of alteration. And I think I am authorized to speak for the majority of the committee of ways and means, and for the majority of the Congress of the United States, when I say that the changes that we desire to make are changes that the manufactur ing interests of America will frankly concede to be made to their advantage, and will reduce the revenue in such a way as to remove the shackles and not hurt the industries that have grown up within the last twenty-seven years. [Applause.] “It is said of a distinguished business man, in making an argument about what a certain provision in the tariff law meant, said : T know what it means, for I wrote it myself.’ And if the other provisions could tell the truth the authors of those provisions would be discovered to be men w T ho never served in Congress, but were at the head of what used to be called ‘rings,’ but who now disport themselves under the delightful and euphonious title of ‘trusts.’ And these provisions have to be put in by the private lobby. They have to be maintained in the same way. There is not a provision that has escap ed revision, that has not some private interest behind it ; and there is not a provision that is now being discussed in the American Congress that has not some paid advocate to see that it is not disturbed. Like Art-emus Ward, each one would be willing to give bis rival to the'clamor for revenue reform if there by he could keep himself from being accused of that clamor. It lias perme ated all politics. What convention is free from the influence of these private interests? Legislators have been bought ; Governors have been nomi nated ; Congressmen have and all the reforms which that reform carried with it he illustrated the high est qualities of civic courage. And what a commentary upon our politics that any message by the President of the UnitedStates requires civic courage! What a commentary upon- the perni cious influence of those mighty combi nations that, to hold their iniquities up to the public gaze, required great civic courage and risked the Presidency of tne United States! I thank (?od that I was called into public life to be even a simple spectator of the return of that civic courage that could risk a Presi dency for public duty! [Great ap plause.) It is worth something to be a citizen of that country that can elect a man who knows the Presidency is in his hands and deliberately lays it aside in order that his duty may be hon estly performed. [Applause.] It re calls the noblest and best days of the republic. It recalls the fact that we are not degenerate in these piping ! f times of peace ; and I look forward to this canvass, by whatever name you may choose to call it—no matter wheth er the message that came from Paris or any other message be an acceptance of that challenge—I look to that can vass with redoubled faith, because it will be led on one side by a pure and resolute courage.

Ti(l Bits. “Oh, George,” cried young Mrs-Merry, running to meet her husband at the door. “I’ve something the best to tell you.” “No !” said George; “what is it?” “Why, don’t you think—the baby can talk ! Yes, sir, actually talk ! He’s said ever and ever so many things. Come right into the nursery and hear him.” George went in. “Now, baby,” said mamma, persua sively, “talk some for papa. Say ‘How do you do, papa?’ ” “Goo, goo, goo, goo,” says baby. “Hear him!” shrieks mamma, ecstati cally. “Wasn’t that just as plain as plain can be?” George says it is, and tries to think so, too. “Now say, ‘I’m glad to see you, pa pa-’ ” “Da, da, boo, bee, boo.” “Did you ever?” cries mamma. “He can just say everything? Now, you precious little honey, bunny boy, say, ‘Are you well, papa ?’ ” “Boo, ba, de, goo, goo.” “There it is,” said mamma. “Did you ever know a child of his age who could really talk as he does? He can just say anything he wants to, can’t you, you own, dear little darling precious?” “Goo, goo, de, di, goo.” “Hear that? He says, ‘Of course 1 can,’ just as plainly as anybody can say it. Oh ! George, it really worries me to have him so phenomenally bright.
