GOVERNOR JONES’S PROCLAMATION
Uumliifi the Strikers Against Viola
tions of Law.
Birmingham, Ala., July B.—(Special.)—Gov
ernor Jones's proclamation starts off as
follows:
“To the People of Jefferson County: The
forces concentrated here have been brought
Into your miust to sustain the civil author
ities and to see to it that the causeless
b.ockade of the state’s highways and the
useless suffering and wrong which result
from it to the people of Alabama are
brought to an end and life and liberty and
property protected.
“Now, therefore, T. Thomas G. Jones,
gove,: <>r of Alabama, do issue this proc
lamation, involving the aid and co-operation
of all law-abiding citizens to that end. It
. Iso rigl that the p< ople be-in formed of
certain provis oes of law which will be en
forced and widen all good citizens will wil
lingly abide.”
Ii then goes on quoting the section of the
rode wl i i explains the right and time for
:a , .g . .it of the troops, and also the sec
tions describing the cases which are against
tne law in times such as these. It goes on
to state that it is the history of every
strike, unt- r conditions such as now exist,
that soc: • r or inter arsons engaged in it
or others ; g advantage of it indulge in
acts of la-.vies: ness and violence.
“This is a law of universal experience,
and we cannot hope to escape it. It is
proper, therefore, to make known to all
concern.d that while it is the anxious de
sire of the authorities that the contingen
cy shall not a:.. >«jn the event of assaults
■jpi ;i the troops or civil officers or attempts
.c cut hose, detach cars, or otherwise ei-ip
;! or injure -he property of railroads, etc.,
;.- at the troops are instructed to lire upon
til such p- rsons, it now being necessary to
ng or < trama nd t > dis perse, when
n the 1 mguage of the statute ‘the person is
.;ed in actual violence to persons or
property.’ ”
It says that all assemblances of men who
hoot or .ter .it others are amenable to the
pains and penalties recitea.
“I earnestly appeal to all laboring men to
remember that the struggle in which they
ar t ; nt is one which was not brought
about bx any fault or act of the people who
ar- sv.ff-.-rir.g from an interruption of their
highways or by any act or difference with
•he o ’nt rs of the highways. It is proper,
a’ .o, that i should solemnly warn them that
the suffering of women and children, the
destruction of the fruits of labor of the
farmer a-i-1 the artisan, the crippling of the
industrial pursuits of our people and the
consequent loss of employment, bankruptcy
and ruin and loss of confidence with th**
attendant disorder and lawlessness result
ing from the effort to blockade our high
ways are already 1 nought to their doors by
the people of Alabama. It is too late for
Eie to appeal to tb.o.se who have it in their
power to relieve so much suffering and
injustice to return to their usual pursuits
and thus end a struggle in which, if con
tinued, they must be crushed, because it
is not just, and because it involves oppres
sion upon the innocent anti suffering and
wrong upon the helpless.

BAD AT BIRMINGHAM.
JentineLs Placed <i:i the Streets and
at 1»< f.i.is—a Small Riot.
Birmingham, Abu, July B.—(Special.)—The
pruation here with the railioad strike is
tow very serious, and fourteen companies,
including an art.iiery company, are now
on duty right in th< heai of the city. The
r m of the pa s mg r depot is
Used as the place for th-. guards, and sen
tinels are posted on the main streets and
about the railroad tracks, to see that all
.11 pl open for tra die.
All last night large crowds of strikers
Stood around tile depot to see the passen
ger trains go out and see if they could not
get tlie trainmen to quit. All firemen on
the Queen and Crescent road refused to
pull the trains except mail cars, and step
ped off their engines. Their places were
filled ials of the company. Some of
the engineers refused to go with these, and
other officials took their places.
Governor Jones arrived at midnight last
right and took in the situation, calling out
fourteen companies of the state troops.
This morning the Birmingham battalion
Jrid to force the crowds of strikers away
from the depot at the point of bayonets.
Sentinels were then placed, and only those
having business can get through the lines.
Passenger trains on the Queen and Cres
cent i .1.1 were delayed four hours today.
The southbound train was sent out with a
non-union fireman 1 . Alter going two blocks
the engineer stopped the train, and a crowd
©f strikers stoned the fireman, who was
plucky, and picking up a lump of coal he
let go with it into the crowd. The militia
came up an 1 dispersed the mob at the jioint
of the bayonet. The engineer’s and fire
man's places were filled by a shop man
and a train dispatcher.
All passenger trains on the Louisville and
Nashville are running on time. The Kan
sas City trains are completely tied up, no
passenger train coming in tonight.
How it is in Noshville.
Nashville, Tenn., Jttjy 8. —(Special.)—There
Is but little change in the strike situation
here. All passenger trains on both the

DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON
THROUGH THE DRESS HE FURNISH
ES AN INTERESTING DISCOURS E.
The Doctor Preaches an Interesting Sermon
from the Subject, ‘The Rustic in the
Palace” —Text from Gen. 45:28.
Brooklyn, N. Y., July 8.-(Spe
cial.) Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is
now nearing the antipodes, on his round
the-worldf journey, lias (selected as the
subject for his sermon through the press
today, “The Rustic in the Palace, the
text being taken from Gen. 45:28, ‘ 1 will go
and see him before I die.”'
Jacob had long since passed the hundred
year milestone, in those times people were
distinguished for longevity. In the centuries
afterward persons lived to great age.
Galen, the most celebrated physician of
bis time, took so little of his own medi
cine that he lived to oiicj hundred and
forty years. A man of undoubted veracity
on the witness stand in England swote
that he remembered an event one hundred
and fifty years before. Lord Bacon speaks
of a countess who had cut three sets ot
teeth, and died at one hundred and forty
years. Joseph Crele, of Pennsylvania, jived
one hundred and forty years. In 185. a book
was printed containing the names ot thir
ty-seven persons who lived one hundred
■and forty years, and the names cf eleven
persons who lived one hundred an-’ fifty
yea rs.
Among the grand old people of whom we
have record was Jacob, the shepherd ot
the text. But he had a bad lot cf boys.
7 hey were jealous and ambitious and cve/y
way unprincipled. Joseph, however, seemed
to be an exception; but he had been gone
many years, and the probability was that
he was dead. As sometimes now in a house
you will find kept at the table a vacant
chair, a plate, a knife, a. fork, for some
a. ceased member ot the family, so Jacob
kept in his tieart a place for .his beloved
Joseph. There sits the old man, the flock
of one hundred mid forty years in their
flight having alighted long enough to leave
the marks of their claw on forehead and
creek and temple. His long beard snows
down over his chest. His eyes are some
what dim. and he can see farther when
they are closed than when they are open,
for’he can see clear back into the time
when beautiful Rachel, his wife, was liv
ing, and his children shook the oriental
abode with their merriment.
Tne centenarian is sitting dreaming over
the past when he hears a wagon rumbling
to the front door. He gets up and goes to
the door to see who has arrived, and his
long-absent s.ms from Egypt come in and
announce to him that Joseph, instead of be
ing dead, is living in an Egyptian palace,
with all the investiture of prime minister,
mxt to the king in the mightiest empire of
ali the world! The news was 100 sudden
and too glad for the old man, and his cheeks
whiten, and he has a dazed look, and his
staff falls out of his hand, and he would
have dropped had not the sons caught him
ami led him to a. lounge and put cold water
on his face, and fanned him a little.
In that half delirium the old man mum
bles something about his son Joseph. He
says: “You don't mean Joseph, do you?
My dear son who lias been dead so long?
You don't mean Joseph, do you?” But
after they had fully resuscitated him, and
rhe news was confirmed, the tears begin
their winding way down the crossroads of
the wrinkles, and the sunken lips of the
old man quiver, and he brings his bent fin
gers together as he says: “Joseph is yet
alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
It did not take the old man a great while
to get ready, 1 warrant you. He put on the
best, clothes that the shepherd’s wardrobe
could afford. He got into the wagon, and
though the aged are cautious and like to
ride slew, the wagon did not get along fast
enough for this old man, and when the
waam with the old man met Joseph's
chariot coming down to meet him. and Jo
seph got out of the chariot and got into the
wagon and threw his arms around his
father's neck, it was an antithesis of roy
alty and rusticity, of simplicity and pomp,
of filial affection and paternal love, which
leaves us so much in doubt about-whether
wo had better laugh or cry that we do
both. So Jacob kent the resolution of the
text —will go and see him before 1 die*.”
What a strong and unfailing thing is
parental attachment! Was it not almost
time for Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot
suns of many summers had blazed on the
heath: the river Nile had overflowed and
receded, overflowed ami receded again and
again; the seed had been sown and the
harvest reaped; stars rose and set; years of
plenty and years of famine had passed on;
but the love of Jacob for Joseph in my
text is overwhelmingly dramatic. Oh, that,
is a cord that is not snapped, though pulled
on by many decades! Though when the
little child expired the parents may not
have been more than twenty-five years of
age, and now they are seventy-five, yet the
vision of the cradle and the childish face,
and the first utterances of the infantile
lips are fresh today, in spite of the passage
of half a century. Joseph was as fresh
in Jacob’s memory an ever, though at sev
enteen years of age the boy had disappear
ed from the old homestead. I found in our
family record the story of an infant that
had died fifty years before, and I said to n.y
p irents: “What is this record ami w!i >.
does it mean?’’ Their chief answer was
a long, deep sigh. It was yet to them
a very tender sorrow. What does that ail
mean? Why, it means our children depart
ed are ours yet, and that cord of attach
ment reaching across the years will hold
us until it brings us together in the palace,
as Jacob and Joseph were brought together.
That is one thing that makes old people
die happy. ’They realize it is a reunion with
those from whom they have long been
separated.
1 am often asked as a pastor—and every
pastor is asked the question—" Will my
children be children in heaven and forever
children?” Well, there was no doubt a
great change in Joseph from the time Jacob
lost him and the time when Jacob found
him—between the boy seventeen years of age
and the man in midlife, his forehead de
veloped with the great business of state;
but Jacob was glad to get back Joseph any
how. and it did not make much difference
to the old man whether the boy looked
older or looked younger. And it will be
enough joy for that parent if lie can get
back tiiat son, that daughter, at the gate
o' heaven, whether the departed loved one
snail c»me a cherub or in full-grown angel
hood. There must be a change wrought by
that celestial climate and by those supernal
years, but it will only be from loveliness to
more loveliness, and from health io more ra
diant health. Oh, parent, as you think
of the darling panting ami white in mem
branous croup, 1 want you to know it will
be gloriously bettered in that land where
thiiie lias never been a death ami where
all the inhabitants will live on in the great
future as long as God! Joseph was Joseph,
notwithstanding the palace, ami your child
will be your child, notwithstanding all the
reigning splendors of everlasting noon. What
a thrilling visit was that of the old shep
herd to the prime minister —Joseph! 1 see
the old countryman seated in the palace
looking around at the mirrors and the foun
tains and the carved pillars, ami oh! how he
wishes ti.at Rachi 1. his wife, was alive and
she could have c >me there with him to see
their son in his great house. "Oh!” says the
oid man within himself, “I do wish Rachel
could be here to see all this!’’ 1 visited
at the farmhouse of the father of Millr.rd
Fillmore when the son was president o’
the United St it - . and ' the octogt narian
farmer entertained me until 11 o clock at
night telling me what great things he Savv
in his son’s house at Washington and what
Daniel Webster said to him, ami how grand
ly Millard treated his father in the white
house.
The old man’s face was illumined wi.h
the storv until almost the midnight. Ho
1 id just been visiting his son at th« capi
tal. And I suppose it was something of
the same jov that thrilled the heart of tne
old shepherd as he stood in the palace of
the prime minister. It is a great day wi’h
you when your old parents come to vi>'t
vou. Your little children stand around
with great wide-open eyes, wondering how
anybody could be so old. The parents can
not stay many days, for they are a little
restless, and especially at nightfall, be
cause they sleep better in their own bed,
but while they tarry you somehow feel
there is a benediction in every room in the
house. They are a little feeble and you
make it -is easy as you can for them, and
you realize they will probably not visit you
very often —perhaps never again. You go
to their room after they have retired at
night to see if the lights are properly put
out. for the old people understand candle
and lamp better than the modern appa
ratus for illumination. In the morning,
with real interest in th -ir health, you ask
them how they rested last night. Joseph,
in the historical scene of the text, did not
think any njore of his father than you do
of your parents. The probability Is, be
fore they leave your house they half spoil
your children with kindpess. Grandfather
and grandmother are more lenient and in
dulgent to your children than they ever
were with you. And what wonders of rev-

elation in the bombazine pocket of the one
and the sleeve of the other? Blessed is
that home where Christian parents come
to visit! Whatever may have been the
style of the architecture when they came,
it is a palace before they leave. If they
visit you fifty times, the two most memora
ble visits will 'be the first and the last.
Those two pictures will hang in the hall of
your memory while memory lasts, and you
will remember just how they looked, and
where they sat, and what they said, and
at what figure of the carpet, and at what
doorsill they parted with you, giving you
the final good-by. Do not be embarrassed
if your father come to town and he have
the manners of the shepherd, and if your
mother come to town and there be in her
hat no sign of costly millinery. The wife
of the Emperor Theodosius said a wise
thing when she said: “Husbands, remem
ber what you lately were, and remember
what you are, and be thankful.”
By this time you will all notice what
kindly provision Joseph made for his father
Jacob. Joseph did not say: “I can’t have
the oid man around this place. How clum
sy he would look climbing up these marble
stairs, and walking over these mosaics!
1 hen he would be putting his hand upon
some of these frescoes. People would won
der where that old greenhorn came from.
He would shock ail the Egyptian court
with his manners at table. Besides that,
he might get sick on my hands, and he
might be querulous, and he might talk to
me as though I were only a boy, when I
am the second man in all the realm. Os
course, he must not suffer, and if there
is famine in his country—and I hear there
is—l will send him some provisions; but I
can’t make a man from Padana ana
introduce him into this polite Egyptian
court. What a nuisance it is to have poor
relations!”
Jcsepn did not say that, but he rushed
cut to meet ins fauier with perfect aban
don of affection, and brought mm up to

The brutal world calls these seii-sacrificing
ones peculiar of angular; but it you mid
had as many annoyances as mey have had,
Xanuppe would have been an angel com
pared to you. It is easier to take care of
nve ronicKing, romping children, than of
one childish old man. Among the best wo
men are tnose wno allowed the bloom of
lite to pass away wlnle they were caring for
their parents. vVhile other maidens were
sound asleep, they' were soaking the oiu
man's feet, or tucking up the covers around
the invalid mother. Wnile other maidens
were in the eotjiion, they were dancing
attendance upon rheumatism, and spread
ing plasters lor the lame back of the sep
tenar.an, and heating catnip tea lor in
somnia.
in almost every circle of our kindred
there has been some queen of. self-sacrifice
to whom jewelled hand alter Jewelled hand

tlie attractiveness of personal presen-, e ua

one by a, mcKname. God calls hei daughter, I
and heaven cails her saint, and 1 caff iier
domestic martyr. A half dozen ormnary
women have as not much nobility as could
be found in the smallest joint ot the little- ■

that the three grandest men of the Bible-
John and Paul and Christ—were celibates.

house” is the exquisite ballad of W HI » ar
bton, who found an old woman who had
been turned off by her prosperous sons;
but I thank God I may find, in my text
“over the hills to the palace.
As if to disgust us with unfilial conduct,
the Bible presents us the story- of Micah,
who stole the 1,100 shekels from his moth
er and the story of Absalom, who tried to
cie’throne his father. But all history is
beautiful with stories of filial fidelity.
Epnniinondas, the warrior, found his chief
delight in reciting to his parents his victo
ricp. ’lhci'-’* goes Adieus from Burning
Troy, on his shoulders Anchises, his father.
The Athenians punished with death any
t-nfilial conduct. There goes beautiiui Ruth
escorting venerable Naomi across the desert
amici the howling of the wolves and the
barking of the jackals. John Lawrence,
burned at the stake in Colchester, was
cheered in the flames by- his children, who
said: “O, God, strengthen Thy servant
and keep Thy promise!” And Christ in
the hour of excruciation provided for His
old mother. Jacob kept his resolution. “I
will go and see him before I die,” and a
little while after we find them walking the
tesselated floor of the palace, Jacob and
Joseph, the prime minister proud of the
shepherd.
I may say in regard to the most of you
that your parents have probably visited
vou for the last time, or will soon pay you
such a visit, and I have wondered if they
will ever visit you in the King’s palace.
“Oh,” you say, “I am in the pit of sin!”
Joseph was in the pit. “Oh,” you say, "I
am in the prison of mine iniquity!” Joseph
was once in prison. "Oh,” you say, “I
didn’t have a. fair chance; I was denied
mr.ternai kindness!” Joseph was denied
maternal attendance. “Oh,” you say, “I
am far away from the land of my- nativ
ity!” Joseph was far from home. "Oh,”
you say-, "I have been betrayed and exas
perated!” Did not Joseph’s brethren sell
him to a passing Ishmaelitish caravan?
Yet God brought him to that emblazoned
residence, and if you will trust His grace
in Jesus Christ, you, too, will be enljialaced.
Oli, what a day that will be when the old
folks come from an adjoining mansion in
heaven and find you amid the alabaster
piiiars of the throneroom and living with
the King! They are corning up the steps
now, and the cpauletted guard of the palace
rashes in and says: "Your father’s coin
ing, your mother’s coming!” And when,
under the arches of precious stones and on
the pavement of porphyry, you greet each
other, the scene will eclipse the meeting on
the Goshen highway, when Joseph and
Jacob fell on each other’s neck and wept a
good while.
But oh, how changed the old folks will be!
Their cheeks smoothed into the flesh of
a little child. Their stooped posture lifted
into immortal symmetry. Their foot, now
so feeble, then with the sprightliness of a
bounding roe, as they- shall say to you.
"A spirit passed this way from earth and
told us that you vrere wayward and dissi
pated after we left the world; but, you have
repented; our prayer has been 'answered,
and vou are here; and as we used to visit
you on earth before n-e died, now we visit
you in your new home after our ascen
sion.” And father will say: "Mother, don't
you see Joseph is yet alive?” and mother,
will say, “Yes, father, Joseph is yet alive.”
And then they will talk over their earthly
anxieties in regard to you, and the midnight
supplications in your behalf, and they will
recite to each other the old scripture pas
sage with which they used to cheer their
siaggering--«faith: "I will be a God to thee
and thy seed after thee.” Oh, the palace,
the palace, the palace! That, is what Rich
ard Baxter called “the saints’ everlasting
rest.” That is what John Bunyan called
the “CelesFal City.” That is Young’s
■•Night Thoughts” turned into morning ex
ultations. That is Gray’s “Elegy in a
( hurchyard” turned to resurrection spec
tacle. That is the “Cotter’s Saturday
Night” exchanged for the cotter’s Sabbath
morning. That is the shepherd of Salis
bury plains amid the flocks on the hills
of heaven. That is the famine-struck Pa
danaram turned into the rich pasture fields
of Goshen. That is Jacob visiting Joseph
at the emerald castle.
THE TIGEB'S BIG DAY.
TAMMANY CELEBRATES IN HONOR
OF THE NATION S BIRTHDAY
Pat Walsh Talks to the Braves- lie Gives
Thein an Injection cf True Ikemocracy.
Mr. Cleveland Could Not Go.
New York, July 4.—The society of Tam
many celebrated the 118th anniversary of
American independence in Tammany -hall
today with the customary accompaniments.
The big wigwam on Fourteenth street was
decorated inside and outside with flags and
streamers. The main hall where the- ora
tory took place, was especially resplendent
in colors. Floral wreaths set off the front
of the platform. Around the front of the
galleries were the flags of the different
states in the union, and between each of
the flags was a large streamer of red,
white and blue. The doors of the wigwam
were open as early as 9 o’clock, when the
crowds began to flock in. Quite a number
of ladies were present in the boxes on
each side of the hall.
The Tammany members were out in force,
all in their regulation uniform of high
silk hats and frock coats. To ibis was
added profuse perspiration, for the day
was one of the hottest on record, and the
throng in the hall was great. Mayor 1 Rom
as F. Gilroy, grand sachem, was among
the first to arrive. While the sachems weie
making arrangements downstairs, Bayne's
Slxty-nlnth Regiment band entertained the
wigwam audience upstairs.
It was nearly 10:30 o’clock when tne
speakers and sachems arrived. 'I hey
marched up the hall headed by Coroner
Dobbs and took seats on the platform. It
was observed that ex-Mayor Hugh J.
Grant and Bourke Cockran were absent,
flavor Gilroy opened tne proceedings by
'ling upon the Tammany Glee Club to
g “The Ola Banner' Waving.” After this
"g Mayor Gilroy made a short address.

ers of regret was the following:
Mr. Cleveland Sent llcarets.

Hen. Thomas F. Gilroy, Grand Sach-
Etc. —Dear Sir: I regret that it is im
isihle for me to accept the kind invita
i I have received to attend the celebra
n of the 118th anniversary of American
.ependence by the Tammany society,
ere never was a time in our nation’s
tory when the celebration of an inde
udence dav so impressively reminded us
the meaning and significance of its com
-moration. The day is celebrated, not
ause on the 4th day of July, 118 years
ago, certain English colonies in America
s't.’ured their freedom, and independence,
-1 it because on that day the
it step was taken on this
ntinent toward trusting human
government to the control and nianage
' lent of the people to be governed. This re
\' n .iction leads to the further thought thift
\.jch a project could never have been en
/ , -rtained, except in the faith and expecta
tion that those entrusted with self-govern
a ent would guard and cultivate that un-
L e °lfish and self-sacrificing devotion to their
I’ heme of government which is absolutely
I ' ‘sential to its purity and safety. Jnas-
as this sentiment is the lite of our in
.^ L | jtutions and because they arc threatened
‘ ,;th the stifling atmosphere of selfishness
1 cupidity, we should so commemorate
“Wh ependence Day as to stimulate and in
, Tv a patriotic love of our government
'. 1S . iws own sake, while our rejoicing should
be measured by the extent to .which we
and all our countrymen are imbued with
thin feeling. Yours very truly,
"GROVER CLEVELAND.”
Senator Hill Writes, Too.
The following letter came from Senator
Hill:
"United States Senate. Washington, D.
C. June 30, 1894. —Dear Sir: While thanking
the Tammany society for its courtesy, 1
find that it Is impossible to accept the in
vitation to attend its celebration on July
4th.
“The country is now passing through a
period of financial and industrial depression
the like of which has not been experienced
in years. It may be attributed in part to
natural causes, in part of unwise legisla
tion, in the past, and in part to sensitive
ness toward contemplated changes in our
government policies.
“Political uneasiness, distrust of private
and official rectitude, public scandal with
or without some foundation, fickleness ot
popular opinion and the suggestions ot
false or foolish remedies are always inci
dent to such a crisis. It is a time for level
heads and genuine courage.
"The country demands the exhibition ot
true statesmanship at this hour on the
part of those administering the govern
ment; it demands adhesion to well-es
tablished constitutional principles; it de
mands the maintenance of an honest and
vigorous but patriotic partisanship, nor
in efforts to build up patronage for the
sake of punishing adversaries and reward
ing sycophants, but by the broad and liber
al policy of strengthening party organiza
tions everywhere and encouraging devo
tion to correct principles of government,
it demands the adoption of a definite fiscal
policy to prevent the government from
longer drifting towards the rocks of finan
cial chaos: and finally demands a foreign
policy which extends American sympa
thies to free republics rather than to
monarchies.
“The evils whjfch now temporarily afflict
us cannot be cured by the adoption of every
passing ‘ism’ of the hour. They cannot
be remedied by the endorsement of populis
tic or socialistic doctrines.
Class Legislation.
"Class legislation attacks upon the vestea
right of property, the centralization or
power in the general government, unequal
and unjust taxation, the usurpation of the
reserved privileges and prerogatives of the
states, unholy coalitions with third parties,
a compromise or abandonment of essential
principles and a change merely for the
sake of change will only aggravate rather
than alleviate the difficulties.
"It is a fit time for old-fashioned Jeffer
sonian principles to come to the front and
timid, apologetic and incompetent counsels
to go to the rear.
“A faithful and economical administra
tion of public affairs in the nation, -state
and municipality; the reduction of public
burdens, a tariff for revenue, the preserva
tion of American industries, honest labor
for the honest workingmen, the restora
tion of the currency of the constitution
gold and silver—as the standard money* of
the country, without discriminating against
either metal; state sovereignty, local self
government, home rule for cities, honest
elections and fair primaries, opposition to
fraud and corruption, the speedy punish
ment of crime duly proven, whether against
those in our own ranks or in the ranks of
our adversaries; the suppression of official
blackmailing, and the enforcement of a
high standard of personal and official in
tegrity. This in brief is our creed, and if
we are but true to ourselves and pursue
the path of duty as outlined, neither di
verted nor dismayed by the premature
boasts and clamor cf our opponents, we
shall deserve to win as glorious victories
in the future as we have v.-on in the past. 1
remain your fellow citizen,
“DAVID B. HILL.”
Walsh Talks Plainly.
Senator Walsh bore testimony to the loy
alty of Tammany to the party nominee,
however much it may have protested in
convention and expressed the gratitude of
the south to Tammany for the sympathy
It extended in the dark days that followed
the war. He spoke of the reunited north i
and south; of the day we celebrate; the |
returning prosperity of the south, and then
touched upon the political issues of the -
day. "The southern people,” he said, “are I
dissatisfied with tne tinancial legislation of |
the federal government, as -.veil as with the
burdensome duties imposed by the protee- ,
five tariff. The south /.ivcrs the repeal of ;
the 10 per cent tax on state bank notes. I
It favors the remonetization of silver. Bus- i
iness needs a huger volume of currency. |
■With the immense growth of the country i
it is believed that this government has the |
power to establish a financial system in- j
dependent of the nations of Europe and
the ability to maintain the free coinage of
silver and gold and preserve both at a
parity.
“As. the United States are independent
politically of European nations, so should
they be financially. The south believes that
the federal government .should restore the
free siver and gold coinage of the consti- j
tution, which it maintained until 1873, at a '
ratio first of 15 anil then of Hi to 1, and I
that it should do this with or without inter- I
national agreement. It is maintained that i
an income tax has no place in trie tariff
bill and that no such imposition should be
fastened on the wealth of the country.
This tax is denounced as unconstitutional
and inquisitorial and undenioci *(ie. It is
characterized as sectional and as <'.ass legis- |
lation. It is denounced as a tax upon Indus- i
try and thrift. Its opponents speak of it |
as an effort to engraft upon our republican
form of government the objectionable tax- t
ing features of Great Britain anti other
monarchical governments of Europe as the i
price ’tiiat the nobility pay for class priv- I
but these arguments are not tena- |
ble. I
Arguing- for flic Income Tax.
"An income tax is the most certain, most
equitable and just of all forms of taxation,
because it places the burden upon those
who are best able to bear it. The wonder
is that after its enactment it was ever ■
abolished. The party that agreed to it be- I
tr.-iyed the rights of tile masses. The re
peal ot' the income tax was carrie.d by the
advocates of a protective tariff because it
made more secure the necessity for taxa
tion by import duties, thus imposing upon
the people the burdens of high protective
duties on the plea of raising revenue for
the support of the government. While it
is true that the citizens of the respective
states have to pay taxes for the support
of city, county av-l state government, tiiat
1£ no reason why they should not, in pro
portion to their ability, contribute to the
support of the federal government. That
the wealth of the country as a republic
should be practically exempt from federal
taxation is a proposition that the fathers of
the republic never would have sustained.
That the entire tax for the support of the
government should he placed on consump
tion is a monumental wrong.
“It is true the fathers are on record as in
favor of a tax on imports for the support of
the government. That was the only avail
able plan in the early days. It served for
revenue and incidental protection to build
up the mdustries of the country.”

STATE TAX ON GREENBACKS.
TSic Bill I’asses Hie House—The Tariff
Bill.
Washington, July 6. —With the utmost in
formality, and with not even a word of
comment the tariff bill was today laid be
fore the house by Speaker Crisp, ordered
printed and referred to the committee on
ways and means. It came about in the reg
ular order of business, and was disposed of
in only so many words as were necessary
to state its title and destination. The com
mittee at once began an examination of tha
changes by the senate and will report the
bill back tomorrow with a recommendation
that the house non-concur in the amend
ments and agree to the conference.
A communication was received from the
secretary of the treasury recommending an
appropriation for additional aid to navi
gation in Tampa bay, Florida.
Among the reports from committees wat
one from the committee on elections in fa
vor the contestee in the case cf Williams
vs. Settle, from the fifth North Carolina
district.
The bill allowing states to tax greenbacks
was taken up. Mr. Cooper, the author of
the measure, read a prepared speech in fa
vor of the object of the bill, and at its
close presented the following as a substi
tute for the amendments presented by the
committee in lieu of his original bill, to
meet the suggested amendments:
“That ali circulating notes of national
banking associations and all I nited States
legal tender notes and all other notes and
certifi t< £ of the United States, pcyablfe on
demand and circulating a« currency, shall
be subject to taxation under tne laws of
any state or territory, provided that any
such taxation shall be exercised in the same
manner ami at. the same rate that any such
state or territory shall tax other money or
currency circulating as money within its
jurisdiction.’’
-r'r.o substitute was passed by a vote ot
173 'o 41. „ e
The house then took a recess until «
o'clock p. m.
