KI.litNS' SPEECH. tax In his last annual message to Con- ret' ureKs the President, under pretext of Tin desiring to get rid of the surplus in the Treasury, made an assault on American i Protectfon ami American industries, by insisting that taxes levied on raw mnteri:il.s produced in foreign countries and fhould he repealed and the same admit- clat ted fr?v, and that taxes levied on goods tioi mm!.- In- fi)rciL?n labor and broueht here the to he told in competition witli Ameri- pre; ran uooda and products, should here* lilli Uwtni. 1 U? Tliat thisattack might have more force, ran be more effective and harmful, it was taTi mu.lr thesubjectof the entire message, crai ailotlicr matters of national coric&rh be- clhi ins ignored. out Tiio country under Protection was pla prosjierous, business was good, tho peo- ma i?lv! had employment at fair wages and Coi nvre reasonably contented. Our con- bui dition as a Nation and people excited sul at homo, wonder and admiration wai abroad. National wealth was accuinula- gra ti??g m the rate of seven millions daily, dul Ciiimw and wage-camera at the rate of for* two thousand a day were Hocking to our fosl shores from other countries, seeking wo; employ immt, letter wages and homes in da> the great Republic. No American was dot having his country to better his con- pre UUou ami opportunities in life. Under Au these circumstances and under theso T, Uvoruble conditions, the 1'resident sent . His mowam'to Congress, demanding a change?tlu? partial destruction of the jec cyst, in of Protection that had aided so col signally to bring about these results. eV( flie surplus in tho Treasury, whatever the amount may be, is due" to lack of on| fiuuu'ial ability ami business methods jgjj "ii the part of the Democratic leaders in ruN Congress. They have had it in their {l c l' >wvr, fr. m time to time, to so modify cuj existing laws that a surplus could not {)(| occuiiiulnti' in tiio Tn'iisiirv. There ?i.. were several ways open to the President no \v which the surplus could be reduced, c|? J>ut he chose the one pjj *04T UKSTRCCTIVE TO AMKUICAM IS- Tr DU8TKIKS ami American interests. The message De has been endorsed by the National bu Democratic Convention, and every J? democratic State convention since, and [a? must be taken as tho Democratic post- ba lion on the great question of the tariff, tic The President's letter of acceptance does mi n?t snMantially change the position *tc and thin i* the issue now before the tli country in the present campaign. The ti< temleuey of the message* and of tho an Democratic platform is in tho direction tic of Free Trade. It approaches the doc- cv truw of the Democratic party laid down w* in their platforms before the war. The an 1'ri-Mtlent and his party in their assault of oa the }?roteeted industries of tho eouu- D< try, diller widely from the founders of wi the government and nearly all of our ca Kreat statesmen, from Washington to ui uncohi. It i* u historical fiu't that hi Hnglaud forced her manufactured goods se on the Aiucrivan colonies in 1775, '74 18 and to buch au extent that the peo* di I 1 .1 ...-.i w..lo M flit' Colonial Congress requested the rt merchants in sevrralcolonies not to send W oriKra to Great JJritain for goods, and tl ?.n the -7tU day u( September resolved fut iroui and after the Jut day of De* . ?viu1mt, 1771, tliero should bu no iinpollutions into llritiali America from 11 Orvut Britain of L'oods, wares and iner- 0 cliau.lise, and if iui|k>rted after that day ?' y should not bo used, or purchased. ,ven the colonists were protectionists. , ? is also true that the want of powdr UndtT tho Artii'li'w of flnnfiuloration. to t. ttgulate nnd control commerce and pro- tj wt American manufacturers. wua one Oi the reasons for conferring this power v on ;V government nnd making our . Constitution. So that this question of protection had its root and beginning , wr hack nnd ltd largely not only to our j national iudepennpneo but to H TI'K AlMJl'TlON MV THE CONSTITUTION. i Fisher Ames said iu the House of Rep* 1 Jtscnuuives in 1771', when debating the ^ first taritf bill: "1 conceive, M?, that \ tue present constitution was dictated by a commercial necessity, more than by I w>' other cause. The want ol'juxcfll- i :ient government to secure the manuaeturing interest#, anil to advance our lommerce, was long seCn by men of udgment, and pointed out by the patriots solicitous (or our general welfare." Daniel Webster said, January, 1833, in i speech at Buffalo: "The protection of American labor, gainst the injurious competition of forign labor, so far, at least, as respects eneral handicraft productions, is known lisloricallv to have been one end de* , igned to lie obtained by establishing the 'i onstitution." Kufus Choato said in the Senate, ; larch 14,1842: ' i "A whole people, a whole generation ] f our fathers, had in view, as one grand l nd and purpose of the new government, I ic acquisition of the means of restrain- ? "? ?'/ ((UIBilllUBIIKU .ll.WUli UIV ? on of foreign manufactures for the en- I jurageaumt of manufacturers and of < ibor at home, ami desired ami meant to t [> this by clothing the new government ith this specific power of regulating j mitnerce." IE POUKDEKS OF TUB GOVERNMENT FA- . VOIlttl) PROTECTION. J In his first and second messages to j jngress, Washington favored encour- i ;ement to the manufacturing interests ( the country. The second net paised J > Congress under the Constitution was I tariff law. Jt was approved by Wash- f gton July 4, 178l?. The preamble, ong other things, recited: "Whereas, ? is necessary for the support of the overniuent and the discharge of the JJ tbt of the United States, and the encour- ? email and protection of manufactures, j at duties be levied on goods, wares J] U merchandise imported."

These are great ines in the world's history?patriots ' i statesmen, constitution-makers, fo rernment-builders and government fenders. Which should ho trusted on , s subject of American industries ami "jj nerican interests?theso immortals H io helped to make and preserve the r* istitution and the Union, or Cirover ivelundand modern Democracy ? In- . iiul taxes, which Cleveland defends, ' order better to strike down American V* itection, have always been regarded j ivar or emergency tnxes. Their en- "J cement, particularly m tho bouth, i .often been at tho mouth of guns I'expense of blood. These taxes have 'K y been levied three times in our hisy: following the revolutionary war, war of 1812 and during the great 11 war. The tlrst excise law, putting ix on distilled spirits, was adopted in J1, 1. In 171)2 the law was enlarged aud ? luded other articles. This tux conitinued until 1801. Jefferson becom- j'J President,recommended the repeal of M.n internal tuxes, aud they were repeal- ?, In his second message, Jefferson ?'1 ke of the "resources of loans and iniml taxes" as "extraordinary" and y to bo used in emergencies. In ^ 7, President .Monroe advised repeal- I'J all internal taxes that were levied 011 owing tho war of 1812. The Iiepubin party, following the teachings of [erson, Monroe and other founders of y " Government, Advocate, if it should ome necessary, the repeal of iutemul " es, rather than impair protection by ucing duties. I 'j ! POSITION' OV THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY t|, OS THE TARIFF. 0f 'he Democratic party has always filed low tariff, or a tariff for revenue, en I sometimes has gone so far as to do- ^ e in favor of free trade. The Xa- 1 ml Democratic platform of 18-18 has tui se words: "That the fruits of the ||fl i?t political triumph of 1844 have ful- jjr >d the hopes of the Democracy of the tjc, ion in the noble impulse given to the t,, so of free trade by the repeal of the <in tr of 1842." In the National Demo- 8Cj tie platform of 1850 the party de- mi re ''for progressive freo trade through- ja, , the worm." This wa? reaffirmed in .j, tform of lSUO. Jn 1801 nearlv every c0 n that helped make the Confederate w< istitution was a Democrat; it was gC) It upon human slavery. And on the jei ijecfc of taxes the following language re* s used: "But no bounties shall lie rc' nted from the Treasury, nor shall any ^ ies nor taxes on importations from jn iign nations he laid to promote or nj] ier any branch of industry." These fiU rds sound familiar at the Capital to- y0 -, under the inspiration of the I'resi- * n it, the Democracy and tho English wj ss, in their present contest against 8e icrican protection. IE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS in 1804 to 1870 are silent on the subt of taxes and how they should be Iccted. In tho platform of 1870, how- ^ r, the party declares: "Wo demand it all custom house taxation shall be A y for revenue." Iu the platform of 10 10 the partv demands "a tariff for Pl enue only." Tho platform of 18S4 js ,1( oniposite?a compromise. It is ditli- . it to determine its real meaning. 1,1 iringtho lost campaign this enabled ur i friends of Cleveland, who lmd made ru public utterances on the question, to J1 iin him as a Protectionist in tho J1' ices that protection suited and a Freo ftder in other places. From 1800 to 1870 a majority of the " imocratic party in Congress was too 1)1 isy opposing the war, raising money w d men to carry it on, declaring it a ?j lure, opposing tho issuing of greencks, selling our bonds, the reconstruc- 1,1 m measures, resumption of specie pay- ?' unts, and nil tho great and ben i flee lit 11 >pa in the line of broad statesmanship i" at looked to the permanency^ the * jvernuient, its substantial fWgress ? d prosperity, to pay little if any atten>ii to the tariff. After the war, how- 11 or, was fought to a successful eonclu. " >n, the Union saved, slavery abolished " id all the great queations growing out '* tiiu war Buttled, a majority of the ?' aroocratie party in t?"? began an open > arfare a comfit protection and A men- 1 n industries, which it has parried on " itil now. In 1870 the Democrats *J ought forward in the House of Hepre* # natives the Morrison Tariff bill; in u if 8 the Wood Tariff bill, both in the 11 rection of J*'reo Trade. In 1S77, Mr. .ills, author of tbo Mills bill, offered a solution in the House, instructing the ,'ays and Means Committee to so levisc ? le tariff as to imdto it J WnP.LV AM) hOl.K.l.Y Vrttt liKVKXl'E ; nl uot for Protection." In 1880, ifr. j urd, Democratic l'rco Trader from bjo, from the Committee on Ways and * leans, introduced a joint resolution, J Inch was an Attempt to revive in sub- fl iinco the ruinous tariff act of 12-).Q. All t [ these bills and resolutions were voted r >r and advocated by a large majority ot , lie Democrat^ members and opposed 8 nd defeated by Kepub)if:an votes. On i lay 1882, Mr. Mills offered in the , lousu a wjbslituo for the Tariff Com- , uission Hill, which substitute wasprac- ; ically the free trado tariff of 184<K Folowing tbo report of tho Tariff Comniision, (no Uriff act of 1883, which is our ^resent tariff, was passed by a Iiepub* , ican House and Senate, 31 Democratic Senators and 110 Democratic members of ,hc House voting against the bill. In 1884, Mr. Morrison brought in his nmoijs horizontal reduction bill, which, iltor providing a reduction ot 20 per cent on all dutiable article#, further pro* yidea in Section '.I of the bill, that aoif, cwil and manufactured lumber should be Blaced on the free list. There were 151 emoerata in tho House friendly to this bill. Cleveland's message. Against protection advocating tho retention of internal taxes and that raw materials be placed on the free list, and declaring that "our present tariff laws, the vicious, inequitable aud illogical source of unjust taxation, should be at once revised and amended" and the Mills bill which places on the free list one-sixth of the present dutiable articles, constitute briefly tho record of the Democratic party on protection and the tariff question since 1848. This record covers a period of forty years and sneaks for itself. In its (ace, the President declares ,'ie and his party ure not engaged in any ree trade crusado and many Democrats leny they favor free trade, attempting o justify Til Kilt ATTACK OS J'UOTKCTIO.V >y saying it is only a slight reduction in i ho rato of duty. No other President of i he United States ever pronounced so < mldly against Protection and in favor of | rreo Trade as Cleveland. A party must ( >e jiuigeu uy ua puuuc acis ana uio leclarations of its leaders. In the light if these, for forty years the Democratic tarty must be set down as opposed to 'rolection and favoring Free Trade. It s not claimed that all Democrats are pposed to Protection and favor Frey 'rude. There were many Democrats luring the war loyal to the Unlbn. They urveil their country well in the army n?l in Congress. Wherever these atriots, heroes and statesmen survive tiey are now for protection, and, with mny other Democrats, though in the unority, are found lighting against Free hide and in favor of American indus ics and interests everywhere. It is sudiciont to say the Kepublican urty has been tho party of protection, ur ability as a nation to raise mums to irry on the war, arm and equip our ddiers, build iron ships, and light the ar to a successful conclusion and save 10 Union, was due almost entirely to ir protective tariff acts before and durig tho war. All owe' t m*irr hv i:i> vtititUK to protrctiov t r those results^Democrats as well as epublicans. Listen to the words of ol ickson, one of the great fathers of pure ^ cmocracy, on the subject of Protection a means of national defence. In 1824, iV ) said: J? "You ask mo my opinion on the tariff. 1(1 answer that I am in favor of a judicious J'1 :ainination and revision of it; and so 13 r as the tariff beforo us embraces the sign of fostering, protecting and prerving within ourselves the means of A itional defence and independence, rticularly in a state of war, I would $ty voeate and support it. The experiice of tho late war ought to teach us a won, and one never to be forgotten." cr "Take from agriculture in the United 8]) utes 000,000 men, women and children ju (1 you ate once give a liOtno mar- ^ tfor more breadstuffs than all Europe . ivv furnishes Us. In short, sir, we * tve been too long subject to the policy at British merchants. It is time we in ould become a little more American- ^ id and, instead of feeding the paupers d laborers of Kurope feed our own, or 50, in a snort uuiu, uy communis our esent policy, wo shall all bo paupers [J irselves." 116 "It is therefore my opinion that a P.r Epful tariff is much wanted to pay 8,1 r National debt, and atlord us the J*' uans of that defense within ourNolves J" i which the safety and liberty of onr JM' nntry depend, and last, though not *.e ist, give a proper distribution to our [>or, which must prove beneficial to Wl e happiness, independence and wealth Pfl the community. t>c Hear the testimony of another Demo* 1,1 nt, General Kichard Taylor, on Free '' ade and what it might have nccotnished: lfy "We (the South) made two great mis- Pl Ices, llad we avoided them, we would ive comjuered you (the North).

Wlilio the Republican party lias been o party of Protection, ami stood for inerican industries anil American in- bi rests, yet it bus constantly, when in 3, iwcr and whenever consistent with the pi edsof the Government, reduced taxes, rs .Since the war the Republicans, when 11 -control of both Houses of Congress m id the Executive, passed twelve acts, in ducing the duties oil foreign goods id products, and three reducing the in- pi rnal taxes.

WILSON'S M?Y. 0 Governor Pierpont Shows up y Some Weak Points s _______ INTHEVULNERflBLESPEECHES 1 l? Of I lie Second District Coiigi't'SKiiiuii. ! How Democracy Ouprwsefl Frtfb Labor "When It was in Power. , The Iniquitous Mills Bill. | To the Editor of the InldllOcncrr. , * i Sir:?-Hon. Win, L. Wilson was intro1 duccd ton Fairmont audience on Wednesday evening as the great expounder of tariff laws of the United States, and ho made a speech. He took great pains to impress the idea that the Democratic party had always been the friend ami champion of the poor man. He did not call their attention to the fact, that, in ma aticuiuiy, x>ciiiuuanu n uuuna uou denounced the laboring men of the North as "mud sills," and declared on | the iloor of the United .States .Senate that the "normal condition" of labor was slaverythat capital should own labor1 and mako laws for capital and labor. He did not tell them that in his memory | the Democracy of Virginia had passed a law to tax the laboring man who earned $250 by breaking stone, $1 25 on his earning, and if the miner earned $500 a year he was taxed $5, and if he earned $1,100 he was taxed $22, while much of the rich Democrat's property was exempt from any taxation, lie did not inform them that the Democratic party persistently refused to grant the poor man the small boon of a homestead on the public lands, and that it was a lie! publican Congress that granted that inestimable boon to the poor laboring man. tiiuhman's noYiioon. lie was eloquent in his eulogy of Judge Thurnian, the poor boy, but he failed to tell them that the Democracy of Virginia so onnresaed Jud?/o Tliur man in his boyhood that lie had to remove to a free State, where poverty was not a disgrace and labor was honorable. Its normal condition was not considered slavery. He snoke with contempt of the rich I men. With disparagement ho snoke of i Carnegie as a millionaire, lie was ; silent as to the /act that Carnegie & Co. i pay more wages ppr annum according to the number of hands than any com- i pany in the United States, lie said , nothing about Calvin Brice, Chuirman i of the Democratic National Committee, 1 who has more millions of money than all the Carnegie company, aud never i paid a cent of wages as a manufacturer. I He made a great flourish over taxes, i By custom, he said, all the small articles about the house were exjjmpt from tax, ] but wheu the laboring man sat at his meal Bugar and salt*were taxed, lie was careful not to say that salt was now miuufjur iiiuu ji uvcr whs una mat ne, William L. Wilson, as one <>f the committee on the Democratic Mills bill had reported a tax of CO per cent on sugar; that when the bill came up in Congress, | a Republican member moved to reduce t mi^nr to 40 per cent; that he, William L. t Wilson, Democratic member of Con- i gross, voted against the amendment I with euough other Democrats to pass 1 the bill at per cent. Ho did not tell t the people that he, as a member of the 1 Democratic committee who reported the Mills'bill, put a tax of 100 per ceiit on rice and VOTKD DOWN ALL AMENDMENTS j uf Republicans to reduce the taxes on rice. These are the nets of this friend >f the poor man practically. While he is seeking to reduce the price of labor in * the great manufacturing industries of r the North that the Southern cotton r planter may raise his cotton cheaper lie will oppress the working man at the c North by forcing him to pay $1 20 * for $1 worth of sugar, and if the s poor laborer is sick and wants a feupounds of rice, to get one dollar's worth 1 of rice he must send two dollars, be- t cause William L. Willson and his Doiu- I oeratie friends put a tax of one dollar on i one dollar's worth. Mr. Wilson admit- i ted that we do "not raise one-tenth j of the sugar in the United States that t we use, so that the tariff or tax on sugar and rice is a tax to the consumer, 1 like tea and coffee, which Republicans t put on the free list many years ago be- h cause wo did not produce them, llut f there are a few rice fields in South a Carolina and sugar plantations in Lou- c isiana belonging to Democrats, and in uirhiiuui amount iney raise, iur. wuson t would appropriate the whole country, c He will reduce iron ami its products and i woolen poods more than 20 per cent, 1 three-fourths of which is produced north n of the Mason and Dixon line. This in- c evitably must reduce the wages of labor i 20percent. But still the laboring man must pay 20 per cent tax on 5?1 worth of t sugar and 100 per cent on SI worth of t rice. # ^ t This is Democratic friendship for the I laboring man. i Mr. Wilson was eloquent on the sugar t trust. But he did not tell the people 8 thnt Mr. linvemyer, a Democratic mil Hotwire, of New York, was at the head of the'sugar trust. That he (llavemyer) . and his counsel were invited to the room of the Committee of Ways and Means to explain the sugar business; that mechanics, workingmen and representa- * Mvi'H nf lali.'ir ol'frnniy.fltinna inntiv r.f ? thom, wore denied a hearing, and their j appeals denied. But it did turn out j some way that Democratic Ilavemycr ^ and bin Democratic, trust got the ear of * this Democratic committee, and not i only dictated the tax, hut it turned out ( that this Democratic sugar trust got con- j eeptions on other points that will yield < them $<>,000,000 a year. Republicans in the House wanted to strike out this $(>,000,000 conception, but Mr. Win. L. < Wilson and his Democratic friends voted down the Republican amendment. i . Yet Mr. Wilson and his Democratic ' friends are the great champions of the i workingman. As ft financier he commended the Secretary of the Treasury for disobeying a law of Congress, by loaning $00,000,000 without any security or interest rather than pay it on the National debt. He declared that the object of making wool free was to cheapen the clothing, yet in the same sentence or short para-1 grepn, nu declared ttmt thu formers would find that (nu wool would ralno tin; price dI boo), and that history had proved this to be true. lie complained that lien. GolT had said that Cleveland was not the friend of tho laboring man. Grover was too %????? .tt** H really seemed to hurt .Mr. \\ llson 8 feelings. Ho liad forgot* ten that Grover stated in his Cobden message, that be was aware that his re commendations would disturb labor, but ho hoped that the change would bo so made aa to disturb labor ah little as possible. HOW piHTUrtll la no a? Certainly by reducing wages. You can't disturb by raising wages. Wo will leave that to any waso-enrner. Mr. Cleveland says you must disturb labor as little as possible. But, wnrkingman, vou must not complain. It is so "English, you krtow." It rowsius to be seen whether Mr. ?W ilaon can pull the wool over tho eyes of liia constituency to gratify his old friends, the cotton planter and sugu planter of the South. Mr. Wilson boasted that under a Democratic administration of three and a half years 83,000,000 acres of land had been restored to the public domain. Mr. Wilson must know that a Democratic administration lias not redeemed, restored or recovered one acre of land to the public domain. A Republican Con* ' gross gnyited these lands to certain corporations on conditions to be performed in a limited #&ne. The time hud expired; the conditions were not complied with. A Democratic House and a R< publican Senate simply passed au act saying, "The time has expired, the conllltlAnu ) ??? (nian nimfnrmiul tl'll annul the grant." That is the end of it. Nobody ever had more than a conditional right to the land, and when the condition was not performed they had no right. A Democratic Congressman ought to understand this. The fact is* the corporations who got tho grants . found they had a hard bargain and abandoned them. Mr. Wilson is greatly concerned abput liis re-election, lie passes through agricultural districts without a halt, but when he finds the mouth of a coal bank with men about, thero Jie stops and makes a speech. He talksto'theiu about tax on salt and sugar, wool and lumber; points to the "Mills" bill as levying tho tax on bituuiiuous coal. But he fails to tell tho miners that coal was on *tho free list in the the Mills bill; that West Virginia Democrats protested and declared that if this was not changed tho Democracy would lose West Virginia, and so Mr. Wilson says now the tariH'ia left on coal. And tl'iis he calls statesmanship. But we now say to the miners and all concerned that if bituminous coal is classed among "minerals" coal on im* iree nsi in ine aims din, anu an this clamor among protection Democrats about coal being protected, is a sham and fraud, and nobody understand* this better than Mr. Wilson.

Your account of my meeting at Church ville, Lewis county, in the Intki.i.igkncku of Thursduy, October 18, is as far from correct as it can well be. Your volunteer correspondent lias undoubtedly imposed upon you atismo of falsehoods. 1 only wish to call your attention to one part ofjit. I am made to say: "I drink to a limited extent, when the supply is limited. Democrats Irink boldly and openly like men; but Uepublicans, arrogating to . themselves in iiio mommy, sneaic neninu Darns, like cowards, to do their dirty drinking." The words in quotation marks were never spoken by me. The balance of the report is untrue in nearly every particular. I trust that y*>u will give this denial as conspicous a position in your paper .as was given to the report. Very respectfully, John 0. Pendleton. Wheeling, 11'. l a., October 1!>.

Hie Condition of HuhIuom nt the Tinrio Ceutorit. Nkw Yokk, Oct. 19.?-R. G. Dun <fc >o.'s weekly review of trade says: Exerts of breadstufls, cotton, provisions, jetroleum rtnd cattle from the principal >orts in September were SIM,208,(171) in alue, against $17,010,701 last year. But lince October 1st the breadstuff# movenent has been almost entirely arrested is is natural, with prices at New York lighor than at Liverpool, and December wheat as lilgh at Chicago as at New ork. During the week the Treasury paid :>ut $12.000,000 in gold, $2,400,000 in silver and $000,000 in legal tenders. An addition of over ?15,000,000 to the circulation in a week would tend, inordinary circumstances, to lift priecs in speculative markets, and yet the tendency has been downward during the week. The increased transactions at speculative centres swell lmnk clearings, so that the increase out of New York over last year is about 10 per cent, but with full allowance for the influence of speculation, it is evident that the volume of legitimate trade is also very large. No complaint of scarcity of money is heard, and the demand from thiscity, though still large, shows some signs of abatement. Nor are complaints of tardiness in collections as frequent as recently. A decreafo af 1,000 tons on ths weekly output of charcoal iron makes the net increase during September in iron of all kinds 3,045 tons weekly, or :i per cunt. Tho m&rket for j>ig is awaiting one, without change in prices. Bar iron is rather firm, owing to western oilerings, and in rails no eastern sales are reported, and only 10,000 tons at Pittsburgh, and | 20,000 tons at Chicago. Tho ofllninl ? ? | port shows that sales for nine mouths ending October 1st, were 1,134,883 tons, ! against 1,833,120laat year, and deliveries 1921,'.WW tons against 1,.'$90,825 last year. The coal trade is now quiet. The sugar market favors buy era, and in groceries generally there in some evidence ot Blackening demand.
