f ile consumer, never stop until they
say they are in favor of bringing the
taxes down to a revenue standard.
Now, Mr. Revenue Standard, tell us
poor farmers what you mean by that.
We cotton makers have some little in
telligence, and may understand you,
perhaps; especially as all the leaders
on your side are aspirants for some of
fice, and are generally college-bred gen
try, who could, if they would try, com
mand some language that might arrest
our attention and enlighten our minds
oil this the most important question to
every man, woman and child in this
grandly great country.
1 want to analyze this revenue stand
ard a little. In the recent Treasury
Report, I see t hat our total ordinary
expenses for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1887, were 8315,835,528 12.
The receipts from internal revenue, ns
stated by the same document, were
$118,823,391 22, leaving $197,012,03(5 90 to
he raised on foreign merchandise to de
fray the expenses of the government.
The amount of our imports for the same
period were $092,319,708 00. Deduct
amount of free list, say $150,000,000 00,
and we have $542,319,708 00 on which to
raise the revenue of $197,012,030 tK), which
would require about 36$ per cent., at
which rate $107,032,829 48 would be
raised, or $20,000 00 more than required.
Now, Mr. Revenue Standard, do you
mean by that term to put just such a
per cent, tax upon the goods that the
■wants of this country require, so as to
raise the amount of revenue required
for an economical administration of the
government without any surplus ? If
so, you will have to adopt 36$ per cent,
tax as the revenue standard.
But you might say, I would prefer to
lower the tax to 20 per cent, and lessen
the burdens of the tax-payer. Now,
let us see how that would result. To
raise the $197,012,030 90 at 20 percent,
would require the importation of for
eign merchandise to the enormous
amount of $985,000,000 00 of dutiable
qoods, being $443,000,000 00 more than
rhe amount required under the 8.6$ per
cent. tax.
The Treasurer’s report referred to says
that our domestic exports were $703,-
000,000, or $282,000,000 less than the.
amount ($985,000,000) required by the
20 per cent- tax, which would be just
that much balance of trade against us,
and in all probability it would have to
he made up by the export of specie to
that amount. Now, how long, Mr. Rev
enue Standard, would it take at the
rate of $282,000,000 a year export of
specie to consume our stock of specie,
and place it out of the power of na
tional hanks to secure enough of the
precious metal to redeem their hills,
as required by law. If they could not
do this, then a suspension of specie
payments would follow, and panic and
bankruptcy and ruin and poverty
would be the inevitable result. Save
us from such a calamity.
I want to say that I am in favor of a
revenue standard, but 1 want that
standard regulated by the amount of
revenue required by the government
to defray its expenses in an economical
wav, and on the amount of foreign
merchandise required for the actual
necessary consumption, measured by the
wants of the people. It is presumable
that the people buy all the foreign
goods they need because they are in a
better financial condition than ever
before ; if so, then the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury, which was
$692,319,768, was the precise amount of
imports needed for consumption. Now,
the
fact as stated by Fred Grant that “a
surplus is much easier to handle than a
deficit.’’
The true revenue standard is to
place just such a tax on the actual
amount wanted for consumption a-
will raise the amount of revenue re
quired, so that there can he no balance
of trade against us, and all our inter
ests will remain in a healthy condition,
and no commercial panic will ensue.
This estimate was made on the idea
that the internal revenue law would
not be repealed. Bkxj. Leigh.
Good Talkers in Congress.
New York Graphic.
Now that the flood gates of Congre
sional oratory are about to be opened
upon the country let us see who are the
good talkers among the old members.
Take the Senate. For genuine out-
and-out rqj-roaring, oratory, Joe Black
burn, of Kentucky,is at the head of [the
class. When lie speaks he festoons
the Senate with flowery garlands, and
when he has finished you have forgot
ten what he said.
Blackburn will have a rival in Daniel,
of Virginia, when the black-eyed, one-
legged statesman gets started, and Joe
will have to look to his laurels in an or
atorical tussle with him.
Senator Beck, .Joe’s colleague, is the
exact antipodes of the flowery Ken-
tuckyiah. If lie had to state that three
and three made half a dozen lift would
do it just m that way. lie is one of the
best equipped debaters in the Senate,
andnever speaks except when thorough
ly informed about the subject he is to
consider.
For a good, pathetic, heart-stirring
speech,{Dan Voorhees cannot he equal
ed.
For dry law discussions that clear
the galleries, Senator Edmunds, of Ver-
' moot, Pugh, of Alabama, and George,
of Mississippi, are the champions of the
floor.
Frye, of Maine, talks as though the
words were driven from his mouth by
the piston of a steam engine.
The richness that has crept into the
coffers of Eugene Hale since his mar
riage seems to have dried up the springs
of really interesting talking that used
to make him a favorite in the House of
Representatives.
Blair, of New Hampshire, orates like
an old-time town crier.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, has a voice
like Reagan, of Texas—like a big trum
pet sounding the words, and keeps the
ears |strained to distinguish what he is
talking about.
John J. Ingalls ought to have a place
in the list of speakers. He lias a good
deal of vitriol in his oratorical composi
tion, but when he gets upon his feet he
always lias something interesting to
say, even if it be a little impregnated
with bitterness, and no one is more at
tentively listened to than the literary
looking Senator from Kansas.
Little John C. Spooner, from Wiscon
sin. sprang into the ranks of the Sen
ate's orators before he was a month in
his place.
Spooner’s equal in size, George Vest,
of Missouri, is a bigger, though not a
better talker, and Dick Coke, of Texas,
makes the driest and most profound of
constitutional arguments.
1 unsuspectm
i that told of pleasant dreams on her lips.
Roughly shaking iu*r, the dastardly
intruder said, gruffly:
“Here, wake up; now just keep cool;
no use yelling; I know as well as you
do that you're alone in the house; just
hand over the keys to—here, stop that!
let go ! help ! murder ! help ! help !
O-o-o-h ! O-o-o-h !”
When the police got there they
found the burgular done up with a
! clothes line as neatly as a grocer does
up ten pounds of sugar. lie was open
ing his eyes in the “coming to” process;
1 when they rested on the little widow
| they took on a beseeching look a< lie
| shivered and gasped out:
“Don’t leave me alone with her
again, gentlemen; please don’t. I've
killed Rocky Mountain lions and she
bears with young cubs, and tackled
two hyenas at a time, hut this is my
first experience with a lone Arizonv
widder. Can’t you loosen these ropes
a little anil see how many of my ribs
is broke, and roll me* over so’s I can
keep from swallowing the teeth she s
knocked out; and I’d like a poultice on
my eye soon as possible, anil I need
sewing up in a dozen places. Fm ’feez
ed I’ll never pull through this, gentle
men.”

What a Benedict Learns.
Philadelphia Times.
“The man who goes to housekeeping
after having lived in a boarding house
most of his life naturally rejoices at
the change, because, after all, there is
nothing like putting one’s feet under
one’s own maliogony, don’t you
know ?” remarked a benedict, “but
those who are not so privileged should
not imagine vain tilings. The man of
the house has a thousand more respon
sibilities than the man who hoards,
anil these, in a measure, balance the
advantages.
“For instance, it not infrequently
happens that the servant becomes ob
streperous and lias to he discharged.
Then lie finds that there is coal to car
ry up; that there are furnace fires to
rake down and keep ablaze; that there
are window shutters to shut, and that
the milkman and the baker come at a
disgustingly early hour in the morning,
and that if lie wants cream for his cof
fee and rolls for his breakfast he must
get up and answer their knocks at the
gate.
“He finds, too, that there are clocks
that all the time demand winding, that
there are people who seem to make it a
business to ring his door hell and ask
where Mr. Smith lives, and that there
are a thousand and one little errands
that Bridget used to do that he lias
to do now himself. , Oil, yes; there
are a good many things to mitigate the
joys of housekeeping, especially when
you happen to he without a servant
girl.”
