UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT.
The following extract from the speech
delivered by Mr. Carlisle before the dem
ocratic convention that renominated him
for Congress a few days ago presents argu
ments In favor of tariff reduction that are
simply unanswerable :
"I hare said, gentlemen, that the system
of taxation is continued on the ground that
it increased the rates of wages of the Amer
ican laborer. There are two or three fa:ts
which show conclusively that this argu
ment is not sound. In the first ptace.it is a
conceded fact that there is as mui'h differ
ence between the rates of wages paid in
this country to laborers engaged in the
same occupation in different parts of the
country as there is between the difference
of the average rate of wages paid here and
in European countries, and yet the same
tariff law prevails throughout the whole
United States. Applause.
"You ill find by an examination of the
labor statistics that from fifty to sixty and
in some cases even as high as one hundred
per cent more is paid for labor in the same
occupation in Chicago than is paid in New
York or Philadelphia. If the tariff ref
lated wages I submit that the rates oi wa
ges would be the same, would be uniform
in the same occupations, throughout the
United States under the same tariff. Ap
plause. Another fact is that the greatest
difference between the rates of wages paid
here and the rates paid in European coun
tries is found in those occupations which
nobody pretends can be protected under the
tariff laws. For instance, there in a far
greater difference between the rates of wa
ges paid here to carpenters,plasterers,painl
ers, stone and brick masons, teamsters,rail
road employes, steamboat employes and
the rates of wages paid the same classes of
workingmen in Europe than there is be
tween the rates of wages here in your mills
and cotton factories and the rates of wages
paid in the same industries in Europe.The
rates of wages paid in this country, too, in
the unprotected industries are larger on
the a 'erage than the rates of wages paid in
this country in the protected industries,and
the difference between them, in the one
case, and those paid in Europe, in the other
case, is still plainer,much plainer.
"Another fact is that since 1846, when the
English corn laws were repealed and Eng
land entered on what our republican
friends call free trade, the rates of wages
have increased from 50 to 75 and even as
high as 103 per cent in some occupations,
Can we trace that increase in this country
during the same time f Another fact is that
the rates of wages In the mechanical and
manufacturing industries of the United
States increased far more during what is
called the free trade period from 1850 to
1S60 than they have ever since that time.
Cheers.
From 1S50 to iS6o,when we had low tar
iff, our manufacturing and mechanical in-
dustries prospered as neyer before, and not
only that.but the great agricultural inter
ests of the country, which we all know is
the only safe and sure foundation for its
prosperity and its purity, prospered along
with them.
"The farmer, the agricultural laborer, is
the man who suffers most under the sys
tem. Mr. Frye, of Maine, a distinguished
member of the United States Senate,a par
ticular friend of Mr. Blaine, made a speech
in that body on the 13rd of last January in
whtch he said he had reason to believe, after
making a personal investigation of tills
question of labor and prices of commodi
ties, that bacon and pork, beef, flour, butter
and cheese were as cheap in this country
as they were in Europe. That is to say, the
Commodities which the farmer produces
and Is compelled to sell re as cheap here
as they are In the pauper labor countries
of Europe. This Is the testimony of a re
publican Senator given in the United S ates
Senate after a personal visit to Europe But
how is it with the things which the farmer
is compelled to buy ? Are they as cheap
here as in Europe ? No. You are subject
ed upon every one of thetn.if they are im
ported, to an average tax of 47 1-10 per
cent, and on the rest the manufacturer has
the opportunity to add the same per centage
to his price, and in many cases he does it in
the name ef American labor.professedly in
the interest of American industry, and to
promote the good of the American people,
because, he says, that you must encourage
these industries, and give employment to
as many laborers as possible."

The Democratic party has a leader
worthy of the grand record and traditions,
and one whose banner points straight on
ward to a grious yictory. The ranks are
closed up, and the onward march is taken
up with fresh vigor that will end only
when the polls close on the evening of
Nov. 6th.
When a paperclips an editorial from an
other and publishes it as an original "ed,"
it should hrst glance over the article and
6ee to all mistakes. The Albany Herald of
last Saturday has for its leading editorial
an article taken from the Irih (N. Y.)
Word, of Sept 1 5 ; and it says that "Oregon
gave Cleveland a majority of 2.2 j( in 1SS4."
This a mistake. Oregon elected the three

The greatest Democratic meeting in
Kentucky since the days of Henry Clay was
held the lyth inst. at Erlanger, across the
river from Cincinnati. More than twenty
thousand people attended. Twenty oxen,
40 Southdown sheep and 150 lambs were
roasted and eaten and 1,000 gallons of bur
goo were dished out. Burgoo is a soup or
a broth known only to Kentucky. Senator
Joe Blackburn talked of the doings of the
Republican party. The tariff was left for
Speaker Carlisle. The Speaker aroused
unbounded enthusiasm, lie was accom
panied by ids wife and he made a very
brilliant speech. The barbecue began early
this morning and did not end until night.
The cctton crop of the United States for
the year ended September 1, iSSS, as com-
pi.ea Dy tne rtnamtal L&rowdc, amounted
to 7,017,707 bales, against 6,513,662 bales
in 1S87; and 6,550,215 bales for 1SS6. Of
the crop of iSSS there was exported 4,63s,
9S1 bales, while spinners took 2,230,294 bal
