Phofipliate iiowdora llliorato thefr gas too freely, or United Siaios look to in this convention lo recoiil its conviction. I refer to tariU taxation. Taxa- is always an evil, but a iiei-es'ary one, as it is the price we pay for govoninient and for good ordor, but all other evils in this liie we. like sensible men, lirnii it to the narrowest osidlde proportions. We.

thereloie, its a party, believe in low taxes and economical expenditures on the part of (be gtncni- inent. We have tint much natural sense and acquired knowledge to lielit vo that when tlie government takes from our wages or earnings we are calhiil upon to consider it le.ss of sacritice upon our part because tho messenger of the nation calls it pnitection instead of tribute. In common with people of average intellect, we know that it makes in the oiid no ditlereiK'e whether wo pay an unrea- sonablo share of our earnings to the govenunenl through the county treasury or whether we it linaliy by way of custom house taxes on all buy. If a man were lo buy strychnine and label ilie bottle sweet oil and bis wife with it the grand jury would indict hnn for murder proinpily as if the bottle had been marked poison. '1 ho (luestion.

then, between the Ke- publican party ami the party is not one of names. The licpiiblicans favor payment by the neopie of high anil unnecessary taxes, wliicii they choose to call because thry protect a few in the enjoyment of great privileges at Ihe ex- nen.se of tho rights of tlie we liolitive Ihe exirome limit of taxes paid to the naiion, directly or indirectly (as all tarilT taxes aie jiaid), should bo the lowest consistent with securing the blessings of goocl government: that unmi'essary laxation is unjust taxation; and we believe, too, that tl.e people are more likely to ivet good government from one conducted with ecom niy than from one maikod by extravagance and corruption. Tho next stock argument or substitute for it IS tiio ilimsy pretext that a larilt for the beiu'tit of the laborer and that it increases his wages andconifiuls. As laborer has only one hing to and llial is his labor, proteclion to him must come by putiing sucli tax upon the importation of it as would keep it out of the country. On the contrary, labor is one of tho lew things which is admitted free duty, and has been largely imported by the interests.

But, not content with ndiisiiig the laborer any protection on what Im has to sidl. tarilT imposes a heavy lax upon all he isobliged tobuy. ill other words, it does not add to liis wages, blit by inviting foreign labor to America reduces tlnun, and when in spite of the competition of foreign labor, imported free (d tax, hti manages to earn a dollar a half, this bles.sed system of taxation sieps in, and in the name of jirotection robs him of no cents and hands him back a worth of jirotected goods for bis cents' w'orih of lalnir. liow long ill it take to reach the if ho votes tho Republican ticket? All over Europe the so-called pro- taxes produce low wage.s—is found, lii Austria, whortuhey bave a higii tariff, with natural resources and including a wonderfully productive soil, they bave low wages, and iu Switzerland, her door iKugtibor, where they havo little else than rocks, and water, they havo lower tiirilT taxes and, as a con.seiiuence, higher wages. As cold weather forces mercury in tho tiier.nometer, so this foreign tem of taxation, imported Inun China bv way of Englaii'l, crowds wages down and keeps them than they would naturally be.

orol'its of manufacturing mus'i depend largely upon tho cost of raw materials, all of which are enhanced in price py a protective tariff; Iheiefore, in this respect, a protective tariff injures general manufacturing, for cheap raw material is tli-- very essence of manufacturing prosperity. Wo arc todav tlu' only great nation in the civilized world W'hich taxes raw materials. every sido wo seo the growth of monopoly. Huge trusts have sprung u)i on everv hand. 30 private in their oiieraLion, dear 31r Blaine, that tliey invade home and deprive all of a part of blessings, 'i'hoy close factories, drive out the laborer into enforced idleness while they extort the hsst dollar from the consumer.

Everybody the evil of these blooil-siicking, lal)or-crushing monsters, and it is the opportunity of this convention to provide a cure. I)emandof the next that every the manu- laciure or of which is controlled bv a trust or conibinatioii shall be placed upon the list, and you will einanciL'ato the peoiilo and draw the fangs of tlie l)east.

Civil Srrvirc Modillf'd at tho Ke- iiuent uf tho Coiiiniinsloiiers. Washington, Aug.

28. President liarnson consented to a modification of the civil service rule.s so to exempt from examination for a time some of the higher places in the oftice of the supervising architect of tho Treasury. The change was unaniniouRly recommended by the civil service cfmimissionera, and seeras to be requinul by the present condition of the seryico. Tlie supervising architect under tho late administration was a good deal of a partisan and did not leave his ofHce in tho best condition. When the proposition w.is made in 1 to bring the oflico under the civil service rules it suggested by Assistant Secretaries and Coon Superintendent Graves of the Bureau of I'lngraving and whose fidelity to civil service reform can hanlly bo the ex- should be made.

The matter w.as somehow overlooked when President Cleveland extended the classification last find Windrim, the present supervising areliitect, has found it hard to fill vacancies in tho higher grades. Th -re is an esprit dc anuuig architects as among lawyers and doctors, which would prevent architects of standing from entering into cornpotititni for these places, altlioutrh they might accept them if offered, it ia expected that the office is on a good working b.asia these places can all be by promotion and the entrance grades filled by the usual competilive examinations. The projioaition to make iho exemptions named in tho new ralo did not originate with President Harrison, and he was at first disinclined to favor it. This was the matter which was under discussion about ten days ago. when tho erroneous report was sent out that tho commission had reiommended the classifica- lionsof heads of The commissioners pointed out tho reasons for making tho ch 'Uge, aiul v.

Modern international warfare is no longer a battle of and iirmies. It is a commercial struggle, fought with tariffs, taxes and prohibitions. When Germany took throe mil- lianls of francs from tho French as a war indemnity, she also took far more in the of commercial tieaties and tho abrogation oi French tarifTs discriminating against German trade. The first popular discontent in Paris after this war arose in that quarter ol the city devoted to the furniture trade and manufacture, (iermany has taken this business in the commeicial competitiou that followed the German goo Is in many otlior branches of industry have driven out the French, and I am assured that our largest Boston dry goods houses formerly importing foreign costumes aud dress goods in the proportion of 00 per cent from France and 10 per cent from Germany now find their business position as respects these countries reversed, tho greater jiart of such purcha.ses being m.ado in Germany rather than.

France, No business man can travel through (Germany without being impiessed ith her industrial development. Her cotton spin.iing and cloth weaving manufactures show extending and numerically increasing factories iu every centre. Her population is increa-sing faster than that of any other country', and she crowding the Russian borders with her milla and tho Russian merchants w' th her enterprises. Siio is rivalling England in tho extension of her coinmetci, while her sons crowd English counting houses and trade centres. The Loudon Chamber of Commerce recently sent out 5000 circulars with a view to jilacing tho EnglisJi mercantile education on a higher plane, to promote tho study of foreign languages, and to belter equip the PJnglisli mercantilo youth for his coming commercial struggle.

And iu this struggle only rmany is Said au officer of this of Commerce tome: "i'he German young men are filling our counting houses.

Some few years ago I mettiti side a representative of the Standard Oil Company.

His tribulation had fjeeii that Bismarck interfered with tho market here for American oils bv taxing American oil barrels ill (Terman vessels. I'liis, it was alleged, wm duo to a irieiidhuess at that time for and a desire to cultivate the rol itious eu the two countries by giving Russian oils pref- eroiico over the American production.

It was simply that tho English coiniiany would havo beeoiiio a rival of (ierman beef exporting comu.iny. To my mind, Bismarck is mojM the diplomatic jirince than be is tlie merchant prince; and the energies of the govoriimeiit are not more bent upon ))erfoc(inuf a system of national fences tliat can successfully resist the sudden and com iuod attack bo tho French and Russian fori es. than upon the development of! her manufacturing interests and the extcnsiou of the markets for (Jermaii pro In the uevolopmeut of Bism.uck's foreign poliry, tho very elements in the (Jerman character that make it so strong at, homo prevent extensive (ierman merchants to Bismarck for colonies lika iho which they can send their pioducts.

But tiie German cannot as a German subject make permanent abiding place far trom home. His military training an i rol itioin with the liome governiuen as its actual or po'siblo activo military subject do not well fit, him for extensive foreign ci.il enterprise. 'i'ho Germ in is also by nature more a pedant than an adventurer, but his pre-ent success iu business is more as a copyist ot French and English methods than as an oriuinator. I ho Gorman invents little, but he studios minutely all that his contoiiuioraries invent or achieve, and is most inieu'O in their ajiplication.

But at present all tbo meirauiile and government secrets of 10 world ate open to (ierman study, while ou Gorman soil the factories are closed to foreign visitors, aud official secrets are so closely guaided that Berlin has become a dead post in jo.irnalism. No American patier even now pretends to keep a thoio. Bismarck liius already sent away from that city a dozen good newspaper men, aud the young Emtteror is probably perfectly willing to send away any.
