That the success of the present National Administration; iq reducinc: the publiffaebf, tfeminiJbihg'ana eqilaK izing taxation, administering every brMch,of .pubH(ijaf&irsiwjth.j?ionsmy and efficiency, forming and improving the civil service, enforcing-, the laws without fear or iavor, protecting the nation's wards 'with paternal care against the cruel avarice of speculation and fraud, "and maintaining friendly' re lations with Foreign Ppyers, has been such as to command' llie approbation of the great majority of the, American people; and justly entitle it to the pon tidence and commendation of everv' true Republican. 3,- We rcgard.'the. navraent ofonr. national' debt, ln full compliance with all .legal obligations to our creditors everywhere, and ,m, accordance with the. true letter and'spirit ofits contract ing, as no longer a question in issue ; but that -we may be clearly understood, we denounce all forms and degree's'ol' repudiation of that' debt, as affirmed bv the Democratic party and its syrhpa-' niiitia, iujuoi,.niy national calamities,; but positive crimes, and wcwill never consent lo;a suspicion of lack-of honor' or justice in its complete satisfaction. -L We admit b( no distinctions' be tween' citizens, whether of native or foreign birth i; and therefore we1 favor' the granting ot full amnesty tb-the ptio-1 r.TrtTrf tinco Sfntno lnVtln M.l..ll: and we hero plcfdgo the full ind eftcc liVo' p'rOtdction pi bur civil' laws to all persons voluntarily cbmlng o or resid ing in our laiiu.- -to ; 5, 7W? faVor; tlie encouragement of railroads iby. thd Gbneral' Governmegt oi me uniieu otaics, ,ana Hold that snch 'disposition sh(fuld,'be,mad6 o tlie public lands as shall secure tlie same to actual, etHerS only, in .quantities not; exceeding-160 acre's. . 6.

That the Republican party of mis oiaie are in lavorot the General Government extending aid toward building aTailroad from Portland, Ore gon, to Salt Lake City' and from Jaet son county to Humboldt, and Ave here by pledge our party representatives to the support ot the same.' 115. ihattho indiscriminate licens ing of persons to sell spirituous liquors without being 'placed' under proper responsibilities fdr the abuse thereof, having' been found by experience to promote the growth of crime and pauperism,-arid thereby seriously increase the' rate of taxation, the Republican party recognizes the right and duty 'of me iaw-maKing power to prevent ana limit' the evils and abuses of such sale, go-far.as'cbncerns the public good and is consisent-with individual liberty, by" refusing .to license other than law abid ing and responsible persons, who can furni'sfaisuf&cient'suretics for'good-con-duct. t i . 13.

C0.RBETT., ,Mr. President, this is. a question.that. involves a matr. tcr of very great importance to the laboring menr of this country. The question is whether we stall have pro tectiorl to American manufactures and American labor; or whetherwe shall reduce tho 'tariff upon those articles' which are manufactured in this coun try ajid thereby reduce, the wages of tauor. bb jmmeaiate poiub uuw ul foret:the Siinate fs wh'cther'we shall repeal the tariff upon tea and coffee nndL-let the tariff upon manufactured articlQS remain as it, now"isj and, upon this point I desire to present some brief remarks, I should not do so had Inot Ihniif'bt this measure was about to be voted upon without due consfdnTnere are no artiplt-s that affect so many, eratiotf bythe Senate.- people as those articles, arid the amount The. bill .presented.by-the.Comniittee on Finance embraces a largo list. -In a few words.it. undertakes to reduce theduties npon manufactured articles about, eleven per ,cqnt. It -provides that'onand' after the'lst-day of July J uciL mere Buau ue levinu, tuutticu, and paid on the" goods' mentioned in' the second sectioriiiinety per cent, of the several -dntiesandnrates of duty no w imposed; being-jn;fact a reduction of eleven per cent, c-1 tbe.duty on those articles, as the tariff now, stands. This ...uu luwuuva, an nuui3,uair 01 the alpaca goat and other like animals, and all mannfactnes 'wholly- or'in part of wool orhairof the alpaca goat and otbsr like animals.'! This,- it rwill be observed, embraces all woolen manu factures, everv thint? made of trnnl All the woolen mills throughout thw country are interested in this provision. Tho reduction ot th tar;2 on all wool en goods eleven pei; cent.-irom thp present rates, of duly will be felt vrrv severely by the manufacturers of this country. This section also jncludas "all iron and .steel, and all manufactures of iron anat steel ot which cither of such met als is the component part of chie'f Value, except pig iron and steel "rails." It will bo observed, by the Senate that this embraqes, every article of cutlery, a-.1 .Al .t.; . . cufcu louis, everyming made pnnci pauy oi iron ana, steel in this country, and this reduction will, in my opinion. pruuueea-very material stagnation in the manufacturing districts of- this country. We have how established a large number of manufactoriM nfrnt. 'eT,,of edgeatools. and of all varieties uiduwin ujauu irum iron ana steel. On all of these articles the duty is to be reduced eleven per cent. This sec tion also includes all "metalsnot herein otherwise provided ior,, and all manu Jactursof metals of which either of them is tho component part of "chief value;" l i' Our impbrts have increased- vcrv largely since 1867. In 1868 they were (ifi.-.mi CrtA I J ; .. . . .. (i,"i',-iiii uunng tnatyear tne premium on gojd was thirty-nine and one half per cent In 18Cfi tne imports were $180,048,426, and the premium on gold thirty-three- ner -cent. Tn 1870, the imports were $104,538,374. and the premium-on gold was fourteen and.,thrce.qiarters per cent. ., In 3-871 the "imports were, t206.270.408. and I the premium on gold averaged eleven and three-quarters per cent. . It.will Jjfc-iobser yed that'the imports increased 141,805,809, during, these four, years", while gold declined .twenty seven snd ono quarter per cent. The imports reduced to currency in the year 1868 amounted to .$229,428,111, wime tne imports oi ine year 187U, rednccd to currency, amounted to $230,!507,l80, or only about a million more in currency than they were fonryears tprev'ioris. I jhaye examined Ithe. statisticsjlto ascertain, whethej since the reduction of'tlie price. of gold tho exportations from England to'1 this' country have beeil increased on all the articles pro duced there; jind. upon' .which it ispro posedto reduce the "tariff, and I find it al'raost!" universally the casb that the increase of'our importations' has 'been very largor sinco-and including 1870. During 'the ifnonth's-of January and February, I872,,comt)ared with the same months ofJ870;. the'-exportations from. .England 6t cotton inannfacture's tathislcountryin 1870. 820.475. and lathe isame month's of 1872, '1,221 18, or au uivreuse oi aoont nitv per cent. ounmii oo ooserved that wo are importing- hlty per cent, more of1 these articles than we'were at that time. I find-also in iron and Bteelthat in Jan uary and February; 1870, Fngl'andex ported tons 70,215 and in 1872: 8871 768.. Of railroad iron she exported to us in, -January, and Fdbrnaryi ' 1870, 423,718,-and in 1872, in the sdme months 768,102;i an increase of seven- ty-tw.oipcr cent iOi manrifacturcs of silk,-m. January and' Februarv. 1870. she exported to us $33,089, arid in the same months ot 1872' 59382. In January and .February, 1670, she ex ported to us of ribbons 6,123, and in the.same.months of 1872,-32,659. Of other articles of silk, in tliose two months of 1870' Bho. exported to us 14,396, and in the same two months of 1872, 26,428. Under the head of woolen manufactures wo - imported in January and) February, 1870, Irom Great Britain, 200,406, and in ,the same months ot 1872, -461.321, or more than double the amount for the two years. " I. have perhahs as little- interest in this;subject as any Senator on this floor; but looking at the subject from my standpoint, I cannot support a bill reducing the duties on manufactured articles as now proposed. Rut what can we reduce the. duties upon that will do more for, the great mass ot. the people than tea and coffee? Those articles are now used in( every5 hamlet and every house in' the land. Every poor-house; throughout the - United States, -now furnishes tea and coffee, of duties collected from them' is $18 000,000. -If wo repeal the duties on tea .and- coffee;.- of course we must retain the tariffupon manufactured articles that eome in .competition with onr home, production' 'and home labor. If we do 'hdt protect "them who will? Can the' States? Nor that power is lodged; (withC Congress. It becomes our.3uty.to gee that American lihoV ;. not compelled to compete with the pauper and; ill-paid labor of Europe. " 1S..?,9'1" 2 ow! a well aapleaa ure to7perform" " ' It does seems to me that the grad ual reduction. whibK!is now'beinj; made by our gradual return to specie pay ?e' u,Vi!iufficitTcducUoa-upon the duties to-banefifr 'all classesarid- if w"e reduce them to a greater, extent than that until .labor is' reduced, it must result ra,th& closing up ot-many of our mannfa'ctnring establishment. T. ,. not for the interest of this . r i. :...J11V -z-.tT. diversify ks industry? It seems to me that thisii very impPrtanl; that it is not onlr imnortxnt to tnn. . country to States, bnt it is important to every western Stat thi is producing corn and porkland. the products of the farm. If we abandon protection, and the manufacturing establishments of the manufacturing cities that now consume so much of the prdducts of the West are obliged to close up, and the laborers there employed are obliged to go to tho West, there to raise wheat and corn and pork, where are we to find a mark et, for these, products ? It seems to me that if the people of the West fnllr understand the bearing and the im portance of building up manufactures within their own section of the coun try, thereby furnishing a home market for the articles, produced and raised by them, they would advocate tho pro tective system. In the western States the manufacturers, in addition to this protection, have the advaritago of tho transportation, front the sea-board or manufacturing cities to the West, and that is of itself some protection in giv ing them an opportunity to establish manufactures. If they do not build manufactures within (their own midst, therpby furnishing a market for their own products, they must transport their grains pvei: railroads and canals at great expense and cost to themselves, and they must be shipped to foreign ports: Mr. President, thomarket in'foreitm countries for the. products of our soil is not yery great, particularly in grain., According to the last English statistics which I saw, and ibat was some time ago; "W only supplied England with about twenty-six percent, of the grain she-imports.. j$be, imports grains, frpm, Russiaand from Prussia, and from tie countries near to her, and only imports grains from this country to make Up' their deficiencies.. We aro' the great consumers ot our own products of the s6il, Wcexportthem to the seadipard. or to the large manufacturing cities apd in dding this, in 'protesting these' interests, we build up. these great man ufactures here, aavingi the transporta tion pf grain across the 'sea; and saving, the transportation ot the, articles im ported back to this country. I believe all , who.bave examined this question in a pra'ct:cal point of view, not hemmed in by mere, theories, haye satisfied, themselves of the importance of diversifying th6 labbr of this coun try. Wheneverwd abandon this prin ciple we are at sea. Once abandon this principle and-wo mustclosp up all,the,.workshopsj we must send those engaged in manufacturing in the East to'the WesCt'd find'homes: They can not; 'Eve upon nothing1; they cannot lrvein, their homes, in manufacturing towns unless, they have industries to. stimulate jhera and td employ 'ternJ If they' must" leave their' eastern homes thoy must go tb the' West; and raised the products ot the soil there,-and pro duce .wool and, manufacture, jt in the old manner by , the spinning wheel and. by theiband'-loom. I' believe. Mr. President, tne stattf merit Which has been made that our imports' are greatly increasing at this tune is true, and, j belie vq they will continue to. increase, unless, we put a'stop to heavy Importations by increas ing duties. My opinion 'fe'itbat now upon an tne inxunes oi iu mere snonia be an increasa rather, than a diminution; of duties. We are sending abroad too much specie, too, many bonds of the United States, and tdb many bonds of onfTailroad companies'at a great dis cpnt,f which must ultimately'be paid" in coin, and wo .are, compelled .annually tb pay the interest npon these bonds, thereby contributing to the support of foreign "countries. This question, from .my .standpoint, appeared to be so important, that I could not allow- it to pass without, presenting these views, as L hayo taken considerable pains to examine the sta tistics. I will say in conclusion that I hope weshaU at least reduce to a great extent ii not. entirety lepeai. tue .uuues on tea and coffee. I certainly, shall vote for that. Thero may then bo a few articles that enter" into the 'manu factures of this country theduties up on: which should be reduced, such as raw materials, that are not produced in the United States ; but those are. a very small item in comparison -with the whole", and "will probably not amount to over one million dollars. George Fbancis TsAnr says oi ex- Secretary Seward, at his'home, in Au burn : His honse is a' museum ot "ca riosities. He has presents from all parts of-tho world.
