Senator Dolph has recently mado an elaborate Htiecch in tho I'liited States Semite, which is published hero. Ho sent mo a copy, for which I thank him. The continued existence of tlio Repub lican party dciiends upon tho approbation of tho people of a high protective tarlir. The federal constitution ilocs not author rlzo a tariir, or any other tax for revenue, except "to pay debts and provide for tho common defense and general welfare of the United States." Tho Democratic party favors a turill' for revenue stilllclent, with tho internal reveuuo tax on intoxi cants and tobacco, to cover all tho ex penses of tho government in all Itn de partments, and it welcomes such inci dental protection as Hows from such a tariir. Tlio Ketiublican party favors a protective tarttr us contra - ex tinguished from a rovenuo tariir. A high protective tarlir enacted by tho Ho publican party, its creature and its joy, has been in cxlstenco twenty-live years, and it has produced sorrows as well as joys. That length of time ought to bo sullleient to determine tho merits or de merits of any system. Our tarlir and kindred partial laws have produced their natural etlccts. On thu loft hand wo see more than 1,000,000 farms and homes under mortgage, lockouts, strikes, trumps, multiplied and multiplying leg garo and paupers, and laborers at unrest everywhere. On tho right hand wo seo millionaitcs in hugo numliers, and in a thoy should havo their clothing as cheap as practicable. He think! that with frco wool manufacturers can obtain the-foreign wool necessary for mixture, with home wools nt Hitch prices its will iiiakO' woolen goods cost less ami lie sold cheaper. He knows that the manufacturers huw the facilities for making, in seven, mouths sullleient goods to supply tho homo mar ket for twelve months, und that when their factories run every month fn tho year thoy employ only a limited number of hands. Ho thinks that homo inven tive genius, mi'chiinical skill and busi ness talent will enable the manufacturers with frco raw materials to compete with foreign manufactuiurs in our own and foreign markets, and run their factories to their full capacity and pay bettor prices for wool. That is Democracy on principle, and altogether lomnieridabie. A Kopuhllcau lu a.ltepublicati eonventiou might liuvo talked otherwise. If so it shows tho dlll'oroneo between Democrats and Kcpuhllcaus nnd tho Democratic party and the Kepubltcan party. It shows which party desires and is now seeking to secure "tho greatest good to the great est number." Senator Dolph devotes much of his siecch to "tlio.uauso of tho decline in tho foreign wlloat market," and refers to India wheat. That cause, or rather causes could havo liecn stated in a few words. 'I hey arc mainly these: r-overal years ago when wheat brought good prices, Kugllsh authotltlcs told us that thoy wanted and would bo glad to get our whuitt, but that wo ought to tako reasonably of their surplus products in exchange. Tlio Ketiublican party, mov ing in. the interest of tho nrottvted man- ufacturets, said no. Tho English author- cloud of rings, comliinatlons and coriiui- rant trusts!

He earnestly aptteuled to every gontloman who had the faintest conception of jtistico to lend his aid to tlio pending bill. Oslwrno of Pennsylvania submitted uu argument ugaiust tho bill, which ho char acterized as a blow at tlio dignity of American labor.

J am frank to say that 1 keenly share this feel ing of apprehension. Tlio wool-growers, itimliermun, minors, iruit-raisurs, tho labor organizations mid the patrons of husbandry, have iietllluued. remonstrated and memorialized Congress against tlio- removal of tho protection against the cheap lalior of Kurotie and Asia they now enjoy, anil havo called upon thulr re pro sentutlves in Congress to endeavor to prevent the destruction of their interests. To-day I volco their protests." 11 is an easy muuer lor uiu ucpumtcaus to sign memorials ami talk loud and grumblo lu condemnation of thu Presi dent's tnessugo. Those growls, however, uro becoming more mild and less self satisfying than thoy were. Senator Dolph may be surprised to hear that there tire twenty Republicans in tills part of the country who commend tho President's message where thero is one Democrat who coudoniiiH it, and It apears that there Is a like feeling throughout the laud. The Chicago Tri bune suvs: "Niiietv-uiue Kontihllcans out of every hundred In Chicago and tho west at 0 opposed to excessive ami need less taxation." Senator Doltih said: "I hold in my hand a hill entitled 'A bill to reduce tax ation and simplify tho laws lu relation to tlio collection of taxes,' The titlu is a misnomer, it should bo 'A hill to de stroy American Industry. ' " That is very strong languago. That bill, If It bo comes a law, will give much greater pro tection both in amount and variety tliau thu tlrst lailir law prepared by our great, good fathers and signed by President Washington. Wool wuh not protected by that turlil'. If thu President ami thu Democratic party aro unfriendly to indus try because thoy seek to slightly reduce a liigh war tarill" after twontv-two years of poacu, whut rank, hateful enemies of tlioir country were Oeorgo Washington mid tho other fathers of tlio counlrv for enacting n tarill law which only protected 11 fow articles by a very low Impost tux, 1 ami declared lu tho law itself that such ' protection should contintiu seven years, I "ami no longer." Thu great dead will ' hardly "turn in their collins." Senator Dolph devoted much of ids ' sjieech to wool, and free wool. Por some reason the Republican party and thu wool growers have U-on rather unfriendly friends. The protection of tho former to tho latter bus turned out to Im "protec tion" which did not protect. To illustrator, Tho tarill' law of 18(17 raised tlio duty on wool 100 ier cent, and continued In force six years. During thoso six years tho average price of wool in the Itoston market was less than 15 cents ier ikjiiikI: while during tlio proceeding forty years tho average price of wool In that niurkut wuh ovor sixty cents jier Kund. Prom 1857 to 1800 inclusive, whon all Canada wool and other foreign wools costing 20 cents a ouii(l or less, were admitted duty ucu, 1110 uYumgu price 01 wool 111 that market was several cents a jiound higher than under thu enormous tarill' of lns7. And iiiou each occasion when tho tarill on wool was reduced .1 er cont.,tho price of wool ulightly advanced. If there is to beany further Kopubllcan tinkering with (lie tarill" for the leal Umollt of wool glowers, It will I hi best to start In on some part ot koiiio wool-growing animal and como out at some other hole, 1 will al low another man to answer Senator Dolnh's qbjeytions to free wool. There wujfu wool grower in tho Demo cratic Sfuto convention, lately held at Pendleton in this State. Hu imdotvod tho I'uwldeiit's iiiosiiugti. Ho says thut whatever oilci-t free wool muv have ujhui wool growers 1 hi important fact remains that out lo.uiio.oou ncd'Io icuiiirc rloth- , Ing, and that it i not iiureusoiiaMe tli.ii obtain their wheat where.' their nroifucts would pay for it. Thoy encouraged the growing of wheat In Imllu und built and caused to I hi built llftcen thousand miles of railroad to bring out the wheat, and now India wheat nearly supplies the Ku gllsh market. Later, Spain sent an envoy to Washington to proKiso a commercial treaty by which our wheat ami Hour would bo received by Spain duty free, if wo would receive Spanish sugar and mo lasses duty free. Such a Iteaty would have reduced tho tulco of sugar and mo lasses nearly one-half, advanced the price of wheat and increased the value of farms. Thu treaty was talked of some. It was uvidont that the protective system as a whole was the "tomplo of tho great god less Diana" of tlio Republican party, and that no Htich treaty would bo Kimiitled. 111 a snort lime, "ureal is uiana ot t no I'phoslans" came up from thu "tomplo" ami the projioscd treaty was rejected. The low price of wheat Is the result of the unpatriotic, niimi subserviency ot thu Republican party to homo robbery, falsely culled protection. During tlio ton years prior tothoudvent of the Republican party, thu value of thu ' .. I.. .1... I T..I....I J.. .4 I f I 1111 inn 111 uiu i iiiiuu riuirn uuu teiiiui- ries. under a low tarill', more than doubled, and strikes, lockouts, tramps, beggars uud painters were almost un known. During tliu last ten years, al though the number of farms have greatly Increasetl, their aggregate value has scarcely advanced at all ; a million farms ami homes uro mortgaged; thu farmer's wheat ami till lulsir are left to couioto with the poorest paid and most degraded labor on earth, and two millions of our people have been cast in tliestiuelsaskiug tor woik and lieggiug bread. Thu pro tected niiiuufacturots insisted that a high tarill' was necessary to protect the Ameri can laborer against tliu "paujssr labor of l.uropu;" and having a tarill' sullleient to enable tliein to employ American la borers exclusively at lucrative prices, thoy have hugely Idled their factories with that "paujier lulsir," uml by the grace of u law enacted by the Republican party, were authorized to semi out agents and gather in "painter laborers" under contract for live years' service, with u lieu 11,1011 future wages uml property, to , ruuiinurse p.issagu ami ex,ieuse money. Under Republican rule, thu money I paid by Americans to I'ugllsh shipuias j ters for the tmusiortatiou of American I goods exceeds all the gold coin In 12ng I laud, Scotland. Wales and Ireland. If that money had U'cn expended In ship j building, or even if a rebate of duty on shipbuilding materials hud been allowed, and thu law had boon repealed forbidding tho purchase of foreign built ships to Ihj used in American commerce, the United States would now lie on tho high road to prosjsdity in foreign commoico in her own ships. Hut American ships currying away home pioducts would bring lmck such foreign products us were wanted at homo, and that was just what the pro tected manufacturers did not want. If every shin was sunk lu the ocean, and every building ship for tho noxt twunty yearo should l-e burned with lire, our protected manufacturers would enjoy for that eiiod "complete protection," and could tlx tliu prices of till productH und all lalior. Our once proud merchant mu rine, second only to that of (ileal Britain, has gone. Ship building drags its fetters of iron, Tliu buying of sjdps is buried by thu stern mandate of the law. All this has boon dnu without tliu sinking or burning of ships, by the free consent uud gunorotis jHiriuit of tho Koptiblicun party, to enrich and aggrandize a comparative fow at the oxK)ino and sore oppression of Iho grout mass of American freemen.
