BXOLTJSIVB sively shown that a high protective tariff aid not increase the wages oi tne laborer by the fact that laborers in unprotected undustries were paid as well as those in the so-called protected industries. He viewed the conditions of the country under the low tariff and declared tnat the value of farm lands increased more daring the low tariff season than when there was a high tariff. In referring to the Chinese question, Judge Thurman said his position on that question was shown by his Cincinnati speech of 1870. He added: "We are destined to have a great commerce with Asia, and the natural result will be the voluntary emigration from that continent of a number of business men.

I see no objection to that. It will not interfere with our mechanics or laborers, will not disturb our sooial or political system, while it will tend, by an increase of our commercial connections, to add to our commerce and wealth. But that is a wholly different thing from the coolie (immigration that is now going on, and which, if not stopped, must alarmingly increase. This immigration is in no proper sense of the word voluntary. Instead of an independent, self-reliant body of free men.

it introduces a herd of quasi slaves, working at half wages by command of a task master. Congressman Hatch ot Missouri, fol lowed in a speech devoted to the tariff and its relations to the agricultural interests. Judge Thurman and family are the guests of Collector and Mrs. A. Ward, at their elegant nome in tnis city.

An immense crowd was on the streets. and the town was decorated and lit np Dean aruiiy Tile Platform. Special Telegram to Tub Gazette. Jeffbrsok City, August 22.

Xtoe "Pall malt GasetteV Opinion LoifDON, August 22. The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to the rejection of the fisheries treaty by the United States Set-ate, says it is tnankful that Chamberlain's mission had not made the difficulty more serious than it was before. Senator Morgan's speech was buncombe. The rejection of tbe treaty simply relegates the whole question for an amicable settlement after the Presidential election. The paper also says: "Neither Americans or Englishmen are lunatics, and the world will not be plunged into a bath of blood because opinions differ over a kettle of fish.

The matter will be again negotiated after tbe election, and in the meantime we can cultivate India rubber-like forbearance and a cool temper." Indigestion results from a partial paralysis of the stomach and is the primary cause of a very large majority of the ills that humanity is heir to. The most agreeable and effective remedy is Dr. J. H. McLean's Little Liver and Kidney Pillets.

25 cents a vial. Mrs. Sheridan's Pension. Washington, August 22. The bill granting Mrs.

Sheridan a pension was reported to tne senate to-day, and placed on the calendar as introduced by Senator i arweii. i- uarneu jrear. i.ue amount his been reduced by the commit-tee to $3,500, OUST high tariff, and he is compelled to pay a higher price than he otherwise would, so that, so far as he is concerned, there can be no pretense whatsoever that the tariff is anything but an unmitigated injustice to him. Now, I do think that his friends, especially, ought to take this under their serious consideration. They say that they freed the negro from slavery.

I am willing to grant them all they claim in that regard, although there might be something said about who did it. Perhaps 2,000,000 of Democratic soldiers in the army had something to do with it. Applause After giving them all they claim, do they mean, after having given him freedom, to make him a slave by compelling him to pay a high tax on everything that is a necessity to use, not for his own benefit, but for the benefit of somebody else? Is it not enough that they make him a slave by requiring bim to vote for them, and swear not to vote for a Democrat? Is that not enough? Applau-e. Must they also take all his little earnings, by compelling him to pay for everything he wears, and everything his wife and children wear, more than he ought to be required to pay? Renewed applause. Now, let me speak of American labor as labor in other countries.

It is true that in America laboring men generally receive more wages in money than in foreign lands, but not by any manner of means to the extent that you may suppose from hearing so much talk about it. For instance, let me give you the following facts. According to the last census, Great Britain had a population of 401 to the square mile, and the average wages paid were 97 cents per day. That is in Great Britain. New England has a population of two hundred and ten and one-half to the square mile, and the average wages were $1.02 per day, about 4 cents more than in England.

Ohio has a population of eighty to the square mile, and wages average $1.03 a day. Colorado has two to the square mile, and wages out in Colorado average $1.45 a day. The United States, including the territories and the District of Columbia, has twenty-four to the square mile, and the average wages are $112. What fact does this establish? Does it not prove that the more dense the population the greater the competition among wage earners, and the lower the wages, and the reverse of the proposition, the less the competition among wage earners the higher the wages. No man can deny that who has any regard for the truth.

Now, my friends, you hear a great deal said about the pauper labor of England, especially because our chief imports are from Great Britain England, Ireland and Scotland and yet you see that in that most prosperous State of Massachusetts, the greatest manufacturing State in the United States, the average wages are only about four cents more than they are in England, bat if you take the purchasing power of money, as you must do, the wages are as high in England as in Massachusetts. A voice-higher Judge Thurman Higher? I do not know but what they are. They are as nign, certainty in jsog-land, as they are in Massachusetts, because, in order to ascertain how much a man is obtaining by his labor, and to ascertain how much his earnings tend to support him and his family, you must take invo account wnat it costs ior mm to live, and if it costs a man more to live in one place than another, although he may get more wages in the first named place than he does in the second, he may not lay upjone single cant more of money. Now, Iam willing, however, to admit that as a general rule American labor is paid higher wages in America than it is in other countries. But what is the reason for it? In the first place it is more effective in this country.

An American laborer makes more in the same time. All authorities admit that. All of them agree that his superior industry, his superior skill, his superior diligence enables him to produce more in the same time than does the laborer in any other country in the world. It is, therefore, more effect! re here than anywhere else, and consequently can be better paid for. Again, American laborers are better educated, more intelligent, than the laborers elsewhere, and therefore they can better take care of their own interests.

That is the principal reason why they are better paid in this country than elsewhere. Now I am not going to say whether the labor unions ana Kuights of Labor and all that are a benefit are not. Thai is a large question, upon which it is not necessary for me to ppeak to-day, but this I do say, that the labor unions and Kuights of Labor have done more to secure reasonable wages for the laboring men than ell the tariff laws that ever were passed in the world. Prolonged cheering. There is another reason why American laborers receive more wages, and tbat is the immense area of uncultivated territory in the United States, the effect of which is to free laborers from that dependence that may exist in otner countries, wnere land is very dear, that dependence upon the manufacturing class.

In this country a man can get land to labor upon, to support himself and family, by simply asking for it from the general government and settling upon it and remaining settled upon it for a given length ot time. Mr.Thnrmai declared it was conclu WALKin THE OLD ROMAN. -Judge Thurman Tendered an Ova tlon at Port Huron Teaterday. He Delivers a Masterly Speech Upon the Great Issues Of the Day. The Iniquities of the High Tariff Exposed How Protection Falls to Protect the Working Man IU Bar-den on the People.

Port HurOw, August 22. Fort Huron's greeted the arrival of Judge Thurman and party at the wharf to-day and an ovation was given him on the route to the grove. Between three and Jour thousand people were present when the meeting was called to order. Mr. J.

-J. O'Neill of Fort Huron introduced Judge Ihurman. He was listened to with the closest attention, and his good points were promptly recognized and applauded. After complimentiLg President Cleveland, he entered upon the question of the tariff, beginning by defining it, and by referring to the surplus of $115,000,000, and -to the Democratic polioy of reducing this surplus by reducing the tariff taxes and contrasting this policy with the ourae advocated by the Republicans, viz: to let the surplus accumulate without redactor th taxes. He continued: Now my friends, in the long political life that I have led, I have heard a great many false retenses preached to the people: a great many Intended to deoeive and delude them, but in all my life I have never witnessed such audacity as I have noticed this yer on the part of the advocates of high protective tariff, never before.

Now, just think of. it for one moment. We are told that high tariff makes the country richer, as if it were possible to make a country rich by oppressively taxing its people. Applause. Ain't that a new way to make a 1 man rich? To run your hand into his pocket and take out what yon find there, and that without any just ieason whatso- ever for doing so? Is not that a singular way to make anybody rich? Applause.

this tariff tax Is not paid by the consumers of the article which is taxed. Why, if the consumers of these taxed articles do not pay tax I would like to know -who does. Do these protectionist orators par it? Do the manufacturers iay it? Who pays it? Now, mv friends, you will reflect for a moment, you will it is necessary that the tariff taies are paid by the consumers of the articles of a like kind which are manufactured in the United States. For It Is a curious fact, and one of the rst things about this tariff tax, that while the government tentm one dollar reHiiltluir from the tax. dnm.aHn mannfuirnrAFa iMt Ava Anlm lars, as it Is beet estimated that never goes Into the treasury at all.

Great cheering. How much do they pay? Why, the amount of goods Imported into the united states or autiaDie gooas in the year 1887, the last year for which we have any returns, were in value, $460,325,312. The tariff duties collected were $212,034,424 There were, therefore, in that single year taxes levied on the United Htates by the operations of this tariff law of 4212,034,424. which went into the treasury ot theUnited States. But that, a I have to id you, was the least Fiart of the burden.

The domestic manu-actures of tbe same kind of commodities amounted that year to $5,869,679,191. That is, in other words, to five thousand three hundred and siity-nine million dollars, and as the price of those goods was raised by tbe tariff in nearly equal rtrnnnrtinna to t.h nrir tit t.htt onnAa that. I remember one of the most satisfactory votes that I cast when in the Senate of the United States was to abolish the tax on quinine, so that a man with the fever and ague could have his quinine without being robbed of his means of subsistence. Applause. I know there are a few cases, but they are very few and exceptional, and not of sufficient importance to make it necessa-sary for me to speak of them to-day in the limited time 1 have to speak, in which the duty or tariff tax is not all paid by the consumer.

But they are so trifling ia amount ana so insignificant that it is not necessary that I should occupy your time with them. The principal, the general fact, is that this tax Here the speaker was interrupted by cheering and applause, which followed his producing a bandana handkerchief. Well, gentlemen, this is a good, honest handkerchief, and I could have bought it a good deal cheaper if it had not been for the tariff tax. Great laughter and cheering. Now, there are men who say the consumer don't pay the tax.

I have said that that is a most audacious assertion, and I have tried to how you that he must necessarily pay the tax; but if they want authority upon the subject let me refer to some men who have spoken upon it, and whose words will hardly be gainsaid. Mr. Thurman then quoted from John Qulncy Adams, President Arthur, President Garfield and other Republicans in support of his argument, he then said: "Well now so far from this being free trade, the most striking thing about the Mills bill is that it is the most moderate redaction of tariff duties that has ever been attempted in this country. The average duty levied under the present tariff was 47 per cent, and under the Mills bill the average would be only about 40 per cent, a reduction of only 7 per cent upon all commodities taken together. Of course there are some things upon which the duty was reduced more.

For instance, the dutv is taken off of a number of articles called raw material, which are used by manufacturers in their work, in the fabrication of their products, and as they receive this great benefit of having their raw materials true, or with a comparatively small dutv, the bill wisely provides that the articles manufactured by them when brought into tbe country shall pay a lower rate of duty than they did before. But that is nothing more than a compensation for taking off the duty from raw material. Now, my friends, tnere is another thing to which I wish to call your attention. They say all at once (I say all at o.ice for it is a very late doctrine), these advocates of protection are all at once seized with wonderful solicitude for the laboring man of the country, and they want a nigh protective tariff, not to benefit the monopolists, not to benefit the mannfaoturer, according to their statement, but to benefit the laboring man. He is the man they seek to protect, and how are they going to protect him? Why, they say that a high tariff will better his condition, give him more wageshigher wanes I would like to know how that can be? I would like to know how taxing a laboring man on everything from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet is going to enrich him? Laughter and applause Yet this is exactly what this tariff tax is doing.

It taxes him on the hat that he wears, on that cap that I put on my head to keep it warm. Applause and laughter. It 'nxes him on his shirt, on his neck tie, on his under olothes, on his coat, on bis vest, on his breeches, on his stockings, on his boots, on everything. Renewed cheering It raises the price, and taxes him until the poor man can hardly make enough money, even if ne gets a few cents more wases in the day. It taxes him until he oan hardly make enough mouey to support nimsen ana nis nine ramuy, it he has one.

And yet they say that this is for ths benefit of the laboring man. My friends, that is a very bold-faced statement, if there ever was one in the world. But there is another thing about it. How 1 is he to get those high wages Why, he is to get them because his employer, the capitalists or money men will make more money, and therefore he can afford to pay his employes or hired men higher wages than he paid them before. 1 agree that he could.

I agree that it increases his profits. I agree that he might, having these increased profits, pay his laboring men more than they were paid before. But does he do it? This is the question. Applause and cries of "no, Did you ever know him to do it? Cries of "no, The tariff has been raided again and again and again. It was immeusely raised by tbe tariff of 1861 or 1862, I forget which of these years it was.

It was raised in a few years again, and it has been raised again and again and again, and yet in all that time I never have been able to find the manufacturer or capitalist who, upon the raisii of the tariff, has increased the price paid to his laborers If there was such a case it has escaped the atteution of every body, even of these diligent newspaper men who gather up all the news and sometimes a great deal that is no news at all. Laughter. But ihey have never been able to find that manufacturing man who increased the price paid his laborero because the taiiff was increased. But. mv friends, we have had now for twenty -seven years nearly the highest tariff that this country ever Knew, rally on an average twice as high as it was be FRANCIS CHOSEN, David H.

The conn- ties were called in order without demon stration until the city of tst. Louis was reached. Francis had been nominated before, but the fact was not known, and when St.

In the interval, a motion tbat when the convention adjourn it adjourn until 9 o'clock to-night was passed.

Mr. Francis' entrance was the signal for another tremendous outburst of cheers, and it was fully five minutes before order could be restored. Mr. Francis thanked the convention for the honor bestowed upon him, and promised to discharge to the best of his ability the duties of the office. The convention then adjourned until 9 o'clock.

The ETenlnjr eeeslon. JsrrxRSON Citt, August 22. At 9 o'clock p. m. the convention was rapped to order by Chairman Hagerman.

Gov. Morehouse was called before tne convention and made a manly address, In which fore the war We have had that high tariff all this time. Now, if that high tariff is so much for the benefit of the laDoring men, why haven't the laboring men in these twenty-seven years grown rich, I should like to know? Have they? Cries of "No, no." If they have they are very unreasonable men, for every year, not a year passes over our heads that we do not hear of strikes of the laborers because they demand more wages, and say they cannot live on what they receive. Again and again we hear of what are called lockouts, that is where the employers suspend operations and lock up their mills because they say they cannot afford to pay any more wages than they did pay. Why are these strikes? Why are these lockouts? Why are there such institutions as labor unions? So as to secure better wages.

Why is there such an institution as the Knights of Labor? To prevent laboring men from being imposed upon, and to increase their compensation. Why is there a necessity for all these things, and all these extensive and worthy organizations, if a high tariff gives high wages to the laborer? No man can answer that satisfactorily even to himself, what these men say is true about high tariff and its effect upon wages, why tben these labor unions? All these Kuights of Labor and everybody else who is engaged in that kind of business are simply wasting their time, for the tariff nictly solves the problem for them. Laughter and applause. Yes, it does solve the problem for them, but not in the way thev like. Resumed laughter.

Not precisely in tbe way that they feel as if they were beueflted, and therefore they have to resort to other means to get these wages which the employers are not willing to pay. But while I am on tbis subject of the laboring man, let me add, they say that the tariff does not raise the prices. If it don't raise prices I would like to know why the manufacturers, or so many of them, are In favor of it? Do they want a high tariff in order to lower prices? Not many of them, I think. There are instances in which a high tariff has lowered prices for especial and peculiar reasons, but as a general rnle, as I have already shown you by what I read from Mr. Adams' report and from their authorities, and also from reason, the tariff increases the price.

If it don't increase the price, you may be sure that the manufacturers and the capitalists will not want it, audit it dou't increase the price, pray where is the protection? Where does that come in? They are atraid of our getting things cheaper in this country than they can be manufactured here, as they say, by reason or the pauper labor, as they call it of Europe. Well, now, if the tariff is not to increase the price of artioles which we buy. and which are manufactured here, where is the protection to American manufacturers, and bow, if the price is not raised, can they pav better wages to the laborer? But there is one class of laborers, my friends, that I want to call your attention to especially. There is one class of laborers In this country who have been, according to tne claims of the protectionists in the country, and of the Republicans, their especial wards, especially under their guardianship, and for whose interest they feel the most peculiar and earnest solicitude, and those are the negroes. Now, tbe result of the war was to free about 4,000,000 negroes, and I am very glad they were freed, and they have increased now to about 6,000,000 or 7,000.000, for the negro is a prolific animal.

Great laughter and applause. Now, how do those negroes make their living? Why, a great many of them go to town and pursue any kind ot handicraft that thev can. becoming domestic ser vants, blacking shoes, shaving laces or doing things of that kind. But in the country the negro makes what he gets cultivating the earth throughout the whole south. How does he cultivate it? Why, he either has bought some land, and some of them have bought a good deal, or he rents the land.

Whether he cultivates his own land or whether he rents it. the crops that he gets from it are the re- numeration ne receives ior nis ton. jnow that crop, in the main consists of cot ton, some corn and some little wheat, but mainly all cotton. Now, how can high protective tariff benefit that negro who raises cotton, and has for his share of the crop three or four or five bales of cotton each year? The price of cotton therefore is not raised, as they say, er lessened by this tarifi tax, and yet here is all that tbe negro has for his labor. He can't get a cent more for his cotton by reason of any high protective tariff, and don't get.

perhaps, a cent less. He has to sell his cotron, and to sell at tbe price that is made by tbe foreign market, the price in Liverpool or in London to which cotton is exported from tbe United 8tates. It is there that the p-ice of his cotton is fixed, and for that price he has to sell it, tariff or no tariff. But how is it on the other hand? Tbe negro, although he is living in a pretty waim climate in some places, still wants to be decent, and wants to be comfortable, and wants his wife and children to be comfortable, and they do need clothing as well as other people, but upon every single toing tbat he buys to clothe himself, to clothe bis family, to clothe his little picanninies, to get a hat, to get a blanket, to get a tool or implement ot any kind, he is taxei by this he stated he would abide by the decision of the convention and would work heartily for the ticket, For lieutenant governor the followiajr candidates were nominated: B.

At 6:30 this morning a serious accident occurred on the Columbus, Springfield Cincin-natti railroad, at seven -mile-bridge, east of the city. Mixed train No. 2. consisting of eight treigbt cars, two day passenger coaches and two sleepers, struck a broken rail on a heavy fill, and the engine and every car were derailed. The sleepers Monarch and A.

Woodruff, both carrying passengers, were tbe last to leave the track, and both rolled down -tbe steep embankment. They now lie at the foot of the embankment upside down. Four sleeping passengers were injured, i but the names have not been obtained yeu were imported iuto the country, the mount which the people paid In these high prices of wnat they had to buy and had to use amounted to about one tnousand millions 01 aoiiars, or to bout five timed as much as the tax received by the governuieut for the use of the government.
