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.

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.” J.
