During the present fiscal year,
ending June 30,there will be paid by
the treasury $12,300,000 as bounty
to the producer of sugar, and every
lollar of this vast sum is first col

raise wheat, and engage in all the
various pursuits of labor. Nearly
$30,000,000 of bounty money hna
been handed over to the sugar mak

was thought when the law was un

not exceed $8,000,000 per year, but
the stimulating influence of such an
enormous bounty was underrated.

BZQ.VBIIXO THE WOOL SCHBDCLtS.
If I believed wool on the free litt
would hurt the farmer I would not
vote for the bill. It is a mattar of
actual demonstration, however,
which has often been made that free
wool, accompanied by such reduced
rates as can be placed upon manu
factures of wool and which are
placed on them in this bill, is one of
the greatest blessings than can be
fall the farmer. If the farmer should
get an increased price for his wool
by reason of a tariff for its protec
tion, he will pay it all out, and much
more, to the manufacturer, as a duty
on woolen goods when he next buys
a flannel shirt, an overeoat, or a pair
of trousers.
Mr Voorhees eoncluded as fol
lows: When the day shall dawn in
which the farmer, the mechanic, and
the wage-workers shall alike have
the right and the privilege to go into
the open, liberated markets of the
land and buy where their hard earn
ed money will buy most for their
wants, with none to molest, to assess
to levy, to take toll, or to tax, then,
indeed, will the miUenium of labor
have come, and all the sons and
daughters of toil shall rise op and
call their government blessed.
Sir, this ii the birthday of Thomas
Jefferson. One hundred and fifty
one years ago to-day he came into
the world, the greatest emancipator
of thought, philosopher of liberty,
privilege ami tvranny is broken.
Ttui days before his soul took flight
from his mountain boine, he wrote
his parting words to his own coun
trymen and to all the races of man
kind. With this great dying message
before us. Mud iu its spirit, we take
new courage aud go ou with our
work.
4,AU evfS are opeu, or openiug,"
he said, "to Ihe rights of man The
general spread i-f the light of science
has already laid open to every view
the palpable truth that Ihe mass of
mankind has not beu born with
addles on their lneks, nor a favored
few booted and spurred, ready to
ride them legitimately by the grace
of God." Hail mighty message, aud
bail its speedy and certain fufillment.
All hail the counsel of Thomas Jef
ferson in this hour of ctte, based
ou wealth, or privilege granted by
law, and of monopoly feated on the
slaverv of laboi '.
