Morrlnon nnd Kelly. .offiilftr Proas Dispatches. Mr. Morrison described the financial ondition of the country , stated the call- nntcd surplus of revenue over expend ! * urea , nnd dwelt upon the necessity of re- ucing the taxation . To fail to rcduco 10 taxation nnd relieve the people would > o a flagrant disregard of public duty , 'ho pending bill might not bo all that MI required , but it was nn advance awards the promise of n moro complete arid"reform. Such reform nnd adjust- nont of the tariff was not believed at- ainnblo at the present session. It ould _ bo no great nurpriso that lie opinion the minority of the ways nnd cominittoo on the measure as not sufliciontly harmonious to secure loir approval They found in it no icrit , because it proposed to reduce Ml titles alike. A horizontal reduction tight not bo best but none other was onr practicable. The your of 1800 was time of plenty. The laborer for wages ivas at least as well , and ttio grower of rain hotter paid than they are in this onr of. 1881 , and that year SCO , of bounteous plenty , our nportations of foreign goods wore loss to bo person or in proportion to population liau in the years of 1880 nnd 1882. To lie list of articles now imported frou of nty , amounting to nearly one-third of 11 our importations , it was proposed to dd salt , coal , wood and lumber. Salt s already freed from tax for fishermen , Iso for the exporter of moats , to lessen ho cost of food to the people of other ountrios , not for our own. _ Conl is un > axed for use on vessels having by law xclimvo right to coasting trade or on- aged in foreign carrying trade a privi- ego denied to persons engaged n other pursuits. The _ revenue rom wood nnd lumber imported nd hereafter to bo admitted rco of duty has in ton years past not much exceeded $10,000,000 , nnd the onsus returns nhow domestic wooden iroducts to exceed $500,000,000 per nn- mm. If an average duty of 20 per cent in imported wood adds but 10 per emit o the price of that produced hero , its in creased cost to the people has boon § 50- 100,000 in ton years. In thcso ton years , under the pretense of taxing this article x > secure $1,000 revenue , wo mvo compelled the people to pay )500,000,000 ) in bounty to encourage ho destruction of forests nnd the foiling of trees , and in the same wo have given moro than 18,000,000 acres of land under ho timber culture act as a bounty to encourage - courage planting other trees and other orcsts. In the estimates made by aclprk txnorionced in the bureau of statistics , which the actual payments on importa- ions show to bo but estimates though > asod on official data , thobill vrould leave t to appear. In cottons , but two articles of cotton yarns not the finest dutiable above forty per cent ; in woolens but ono coarse carpet of wool which wo do not > reduce nbovo GO per cent , nnd in iron ml stool but a few above 50 per cent. L'hcao rates have boon fixed as the limit above which on those articles no duty hall bo collected. The present rate on ho finest cotton is 40 per cent , and yet it s an unquestioned fact , as shown by the nvoices and payments mode , that du- ibS exceeding 100 per cent ( exceeding ho first coat ) are exacted and paid on cotton goods the duty upon which is in .ho estimate referred to , to bo ess than 20 per cent. The same is true > f iron and stool in a different degree , n the woolen schedule thcso tbusea are ho most glaring. In all they result from normitios hidden and concealed , and oth in classification of articles and rates f duty. The limit of forty , fifty and ixty per cent on cotton , metal and woolen schedules is intended to expose nd remedy these hidden enormities. ? hpso really desirous of affording some oliof from existing abuses will not fail o find their opportunity in remov- ng taxes yielding $8,000,000 on sugar , s much on cotton and woolen goods , and 14,000,000 on other articles used in very houso. The insufficient , not to ay deceptive , character of the late re- ision , the manner of making it , and the ircuinstancos attending its adoption , like forbid it should bo permanent. The nly security from agitation and change s to confine the taxing power to its right- ul purpose obtaining revenue limited to ho necessities of the government. When o more revenue is needed by the gov- rnmont of the people , it has attained , s limit in its power to tax the coplo. Estimates based on census tatistics show that as many as 18,000,000 f our people do some work or are ocou- led in Boino business , and that the aver- go earnings at least of 1COCO,000 hose do not much exceed $300 , andre ro wholly consumed in tho- moans of ally substance. Those , too. nro million * vho in the shop and bold strike the > lows of nil production. All atcummu- atipns of and boasted additions to our laiional and individual vroalth go to ono- cnth these who earn it , and of tVoao a ow appropriate the great mass of the aviugs of the people and are oiuichod y the profits of the labor of other won. riko estimates will show that the few who refit most from the labor of all con- ributo little under this system of unequal nation , not moro than 2 per cent of heir savings , while the great mass of rorkcrs , including the dependant poor , > ay the bulk of taxes , all which is sub- raotod from their too scanty means of omfortablo living. The amount cquired from the customs is do- mudant on what may bo roooiv- d from the internal rovonuo. ? ho abolition of internal revenue moano reo and cheap liquors , out with taxed and higher priced sugar and other arti- lies essential in every household. Morrison said that during the lost ton roars wages have been as Tow or lower him before the adoption of the taxing > olicy ns a prttondod means of making wages higher. In the opinion of the mi nority of the members of the committee representing as they do the friends of the prevailing policy , the cures for whatever lational ills exist so far as they result fr m taxation , is to bo found in higher priced clothing and other articles asoful in the fields , mines and homes , foi that is what is meant by higher taxed wool , fence rods , cotton bands and tin plates. If the protection policy is to bo the continuing policy of the government , it will bo and ought to bo entrusted to its friends , the republican party. Every argument in support of a protection po > icy is based on the assumption that nnv coiuldeiable tariff modification , especial ly a modification to a revenue bails , will destroy the nunufacturing industries and compel the abandonment of shops and mills and force these now engaged in their into other employments. Thin is the old old story. It was told of the lutnufao luring iudurtries in their infancy ; it vril bo told when protection brings them t < decay. Eight years ego I introduced tin first bill for free quinine and for pro viding for untaxed alcohol forme in mak ing it. At once it was insisted that qui nine ranking vrould become a lost nr among us if such A bitt should pass , and t did not then pass , Later on , when .ho story of free quinine got among the ) ooplo , another placed a bill before the touso omitting the frco Alcohol provision , Mid the bill became a law , ho protectionists themselves , feei ng obliged to vote for t. The great Philadelphia house didn't 40 into a decline , but continued itfl buai- icss of quinine making successfully , as ho second largest quinine establishment n the world. So pvory legitimate Indus- .ry would go on with a revenue tariff. It s insiated that wages are so much higher tore than in countries seeking our mar- cols , that revenue duties will not equal- zo the difference in the cost production. Jonccding the truth of what is not true , hat foreign rival must pays for the privi- ego of selling in our markets n turn equal to the difference in vnaos to enable the homo producer to sell with reasonable profit , lot us see if the revenue rates will compensate for that liffuronco. The census vnluo of manu- ncturcs for 1880 was § 5,309,570101. [ "ho " wages paid in the making of them wore SO 17,053 705. The difference in the scat of goods is said to bo the difference n the cost of wages. But suppose the tifforonco between the cost hero and the cost abroad amounts to nil the wages paid hero , then hcso manufactures would cast abroad $4,421,625,30(1. ( Suppose the average ate of duty , which the bill bofcro the louse loaves at .13 per cent , was redncod n 22 per cent , nnd at that rate this > t , < 121G25,30G in the value of cooda was tnportcd , it would cost the imnnrt'T at ho rate of 22 per cent $972,757.587 , which not only makes up for the dlffer- inco in wages but exceeds all wages paid or making all the uoods. If these who , lnim Cdpocial friendship for the manufacturing industries will Insist on their going into decay , and .hen dying , some other apology must > o found for thuir taking off than the re moval of unnecessary taxes. Mr. Keljoy ( rep Pa. , ) made the open- ng speech in opposition to the bill. Ho didn't bcliovo any cheapening of goods cduld relieve any American industries. The evil was not that the goods were not cheap enough , or that America could not iroduco them The truth to bo consid- jrcd by all men was that the power of production the world over had oulrun the > ewer of consumption , and that the mar- tots were overstocked , and in every Innd skilled nnd industrious people had boon dlo for a largo portion of recent peers nihilism in Russia , socialism inGnr- : nany , communism in Franco , told the story in these great countries. Idleness , want , misery in every industrial centre. Eo then proceeded give chapters from the terrible lives of the industrial classes of England as learned by him during a three months tour in Merrio England , pros perous , free trade England , in order to show the fearful condition of the labor ing people of that country , and said the proposition now made was that the United States should enter the race with the world for cheapness which had led to such terrible results in England. There was nothing of so little value in England as a working man or woman with n rea sonably good appotito. In ono town ho had soon women making trace chains , and yet the gentleman from Kentucky ( Tur ner ) was returned to congress every year because ho advocated placing trace chains on the free list. After describing the wretched condition of the laborers in Birmingham and sur rounding towns , K'jllcy said : "God lor- bid that American labor should ever bo ambodied in any production that should bo cheap enough to bo sold to industrial towns surrounding Birmingham. " Much was hoard about free raw matoiia1. He denied the free trade democracy oi the country as represented on this floor was in favor c > f f roe raw material. Under the present tariff , said Kelley , every ele ment of raw material which could bo dis covered was already on the free list. Kelley asked that the tariff rates bo re instated as ho had hoped they would have boon by the majority of the last congress. By abolishing the duty on quinine , the largest manufacturer in the country had boon obliged to send nil his stock abroad nnd to employ cheap German labor and cheap rnvr material in its man ufacture. By putting a duty of 2 and 1-10 cents per pound on tin plates , the United States had succeeded in establish ing manufactories , but by the misplace ment of a comma it has been held that the only duty of 11-10 cents had boon imposed. The effect of this had been to stnko down the industry. The sapient aecrotary of the treasury had held that the word "highest" in the last tariff law meant "lowest , " and on account of that ruling the wire rod makers woro- import ing wire rods pretty well made from the other aide of the water. Mr. Hewitt , ( N. i * , ) suggested that the republican and not democratic iarif ] bad done that. Mr. Kelley replied that if twenty per cent of the democrats in the the last con gress had united with the republicans the tariff on wire rods would have been placed at such a rate as to enable Amosi- eans to manufacture them. Mr. Hewitt Would you have allowed ua to fix the thing in conference commit tees ? Mr. Kelley Yen , sir ; no democrat would servo on that committee save Oar- lisle , who served quibtly in order to ob > serve what was di no. Mr. Hewitt Then the vrholo pesfonn.- anco was a republican performance. Mr. Kelley The conference had to deal with the materials you sent us. Are there republicans in thu house who pro- po o to reduce the duty on wire rods 20 per cent who voted for it to-day. ] ( o- publicans or democrats , don't lot us talk about what occurred a year ago. Lf t us go buck only two hours. ( Laughter. ) Mr. Kolluy continued : Stop all impor tation of cheap- labor and send back to whatever country they come from men or women who had signed contracts in foreign lauds , cv ou shipboard , to work at lower w igca than the wages of Amer ican labor. ( Applause ) See that the wages ware kept BO high that the public schools might be well sustained and chil dren reasonably well educated. Let not American women become degraded.

Let the country be isolated , It was unlike aoy other.

These bonds they sell tha numo as other Hccnrllina on which interest Is ' > uid In the usual way ; in fact , they are p < c- 'erred. The greatest lottery in the United States s located nt Now Orleans , und this la how tls. tls.Tho The pcnplo of the South , Louisiana espe cially , und Now Orleans more especially , huvo uwnjB boon dovotcd patrons of the lottery. 12normuui sums were annually sent abroad tt > Havana , Vienna , Homo , and everywhere else or tickets , nil of which told severely upon the esouicen of the stato. Taking advantage of .Ids tendency of the people , irresponsible lot- .cry companies were formed all over the state , which wuro swindles of the commonest order. To remedy this , the legislature of the state , n 18G8 , authorized the incorporation of ono .ottory company , to bo known ua "Tho Lout- eiana ritato Lottery Company , " with a capital of Sl.OOO.OOD , aud enacted that this company should alone have tha right to prosecute the business within the stato. The methods of conducting the business were all set forth with ; roat exactness , and a certain percentage of .ho profits were requited to bo devoted to the support of the hospitals of the city : and It was also provided that all drawings should bo conducted by a Board of Commissioners ap pointed by tbo stato. Under this act the company was organized , aud iU stock taken by the very best citizens of the State , nil classes of business men being included on the list of stockholders , and tha best citizens accepting positions In its man agement. In 1870 the same provisions were included In the revised constitution of the state , giving the company the double seal of legality , legislative and constitutional. Under this charter , or rather charters , the company has operated ever slnco. The stock in the company is quoted regularly upon the stock exchange. Its stockholders , nnd these In the management from year to yonr , arc among the biat known business men of the city and nt-ito men not only of recognized financial , but social position. It is essentially a State institution. The State hospitU , one of the largest , best con ducted , und best equipped in the United States , is supported by the company , not by donation , bu in pursuance of a provision in its charter. The payments to the hospital are made quarterly. It U H luiro contributor to every charity , and it U the moat important factor in the material prosperity of tbo city. Its stock holders are flauters , mill-owners , sugar-refin ers , and real-iatate ownerswho have an inter est in the city and State greater than nny as sociation witUn ita borders. Consequently the company Is the very centra and heart of nil enterpriser directed to the development of the State. It is the promoter of the various ruilroad enterprises and manufacturing schemes which have since the war dona so much toward the development of the re sources of the State. The company has to-day a larger capital than any bank in the state , and its financial resources mo practically unlimited. No ono in Now Orleans quofctlons Its integrity. No matter what may be thought of the morals of lottorleiin the abstract , the state of Louisiana bollovcsiu them , and it hai made a giant cor poration , and so hedged it around that it btands tie severest posi-lblo testa. The clai actor and standing of those who , from tint } to tiino havn been in itt manage ment hoi never been questioned , either on tbe legislative iloor or in the press. It owea its existence to a vote of the people of the state , who twlco endorsed it once by amajority of 60,000 votes and it la so hedged nhli safeguards that it possesses their eutlro couideuce. The managers know noth ing of thodrnwlngs ; the commissioners , who uio really , state officials , ) uvo sole control of ovorjr detail. They have al ways ncaul possession of every ballot placed iu too wheels , and they can reap no bout lit whitover from any drawing. Added to thin Bouca of confidence is the additional fact that mm of the very highest commercial integrity no active in it , owning its stock and controlling | t operations. There la ecanoly a banker or merchant in New Or eans who is not dlroctljiintorestud in It , and tlloy take as much prida in its reputation on they do in thuir own iflvuta bui > inest. The comrauy own u very Cno building on St. Churlos ! street , in which its vast business U transacted , und an army of clorka and ac- countnntH ire myilrud.

The difference between lloaun nnd Now Orleans , iu this rt spect , Is in t 10 moral moso of the oommu- nity. In thin iriloular Now Orleans is where NIIMKuglund Wi u huutlf nd years ago.

Ono of these two , n rather under- sl70 < ( mrm with n sparkling black oyo. lega altehtly curved , a not largo , but exceedingly well-proportioned body , a face expressive of peculiarly < | ulck Intelligence , hair , moustache nnd Imperial sllvory whito. Tint is Oon G , T. lioftiiregard , of whom the United States knows much. Ho once swore to water hU horse in tha TonncHseo river , or , If not. In * omo other place on ono particular night. Ho didn't water his horse In the Tonnossoa that time , owing to circumstances over which ho had ccrtnlnly no control. But ho tried , The other of the two la n very tall man. with n head as bald na an egg on tha top , and a long white beard that sweeps his boiom , slightly stooped , with n white slouched hat , under which there Iu a faro that would mark its bearer as n Baptist clergyman rather than an n eangulnnry warrior. It Is a kindly face , with nothing especially chivnlrlo or Mood- thirsty in it , the fnoo of n rather prosperous planter , who attended strictly to business nnd worked his land well. This ia Gon. Jubnl A. Karly , of Virginia , who had the bonoi of hav ing a difference vf opinion with Gen , Phil , Shcrlnnn , In which Sheridan reaped a plenti ful crop of honors and Early did not , except na it In no honor for nny man to bo beaten by Sheridan. These men wore in the public gaze 20 years ago they are not now. They nro to-day the commissioners who supervise the drawings of The Louisiana State Lottery , and they nro responsible for everything connected with it. There nro two whaola on the stage. Into ono , an Immonpo affair , are emptied tubes of pasteboard , which contain slips of poper , on which nro numbers running from ono to ono hundred thousand. The other wheel , much s.nillor , contains tubas to the number of 1,507 , which is the number of prizes t > bo awarded. There is n tremendous difference between the wheel containing the prizes and the wheel holding the numbers. The ono requires the njuBclo of two stalwart negroes to turn it , while- the other a child might whirl. Ono repre-onti the blanks In life , the other prizes. The proportion run1) nbout the same in everything - thing , in this imperfect world. It takes a great many thousand men to build & railroad , but only ono Yaudorbilt to own it , The numbers nro placed in the wheel , they o turned so an to bo thoroughly mixed. One boy blindfolded , at the great wheel takes out a tube and hands it to Gen. Early , who opens it and announces it "Two thousand one hun dred and slxty-four. " A .boy , also blindfold ed , nt the other wheel takes out a tube and hands it to Gen. Beauregard , who opening it announces "Fifty dollars. " The number ot the ticket and the prize it has drawn are both recorded , and the operation is repeated till the 967 tickets are taken from thosmdlor wheel. . These present elt and watch carefully There is no sensation while the smaller prizes nro being drawn. As a matter of course , there will bo live or ton minutes during which the prizes will bo $25's and § 50'swith an occasion al § 100. Those excite no apccial attention. But there comes ono which does excite atten tion , Gon. Early pronounces a number , and Gon. Beauregard , when the corresponding number is drawn , hesitates for a aiiomout ana slowly announces ' 'Six thousand dollars ! " There is a perceptible movement among the audience , for 6,000 is a very tidy sum of money for any ono to have , especially when the investment that procured it was only $5. Presently there is another sensation , A number is drawn , and Gen , Beauregard is a trifle moro slow , as if to wbot the Impatience of the throng , "Twenty-five thousand dol- laral" is announced. That is something Ilka It , Six thousand dollars does very well as a starter in lifo , but the lucky winner of $25,0(10 can , if he be i man of moderate tastes , retire on that. Still this is nothing , or nt least it isn't what that are waiting for. Presently a number is announced , and Gon. Boauregard , with pro voking slowness , announces "S-o-v-o-n-t-y- fi-v-o thousand dollars. " There ia a sensation for that is the capital prize. The ono that everybody hopes to draw. Only one gets it , however. It ia Vnndoibilt and his laborers over again. In this scheme there is ono prize of $75,000 , ono of 825,000 , ono of S10.0JO , two of $0,000 , five of § ,000 , ten of $1,000 , twenty of 8500 , one hundred of $200 , and so on down to 1,000 of 8 . ' 5 each , with approximation prizes of 57CD , § 500 and 5250 , Who bazged the great prize ? Who was he or she ? No ono knows. Ono man may hold the whole ticket and will receive- the whole amount , or it may bo divided into fifths , and may bo hold by hvo persons , in which event the comfortabla sum will bo divided into five pntts. The successful numbers , with the amount they have drawn , are published the next day after the drawing , and within a week or two the prizes are mostly claimed nnd paid. In this case , the capital prize wont to some ono in Illinois , who sent for it through the bank in his village , and the sum w 8 sent hici in a draft What will ho do with It ? It is a comfort able BUM to have for any man , old or young , aud it may make him or mar him , according t it his bent. Invested In first mortgages at fix per cent. , he haa $4,500 per your to live upon all his life. If ho becomes infatuated and croeH to C'nicagoto gamble in grain , or to New York , in stocks , it will last him n fuw weeks , and ho will bo no bettor off than before. Ono ipurunyman machinist iu Now York last year settled down upon 375,000 , paid him by the omnprny , and n harbor In the saino elty received S5S,000. ! Wh it they do with their money is hiotory th'it will never bo written , because no one knows. The drawing require ! nbout four hours of time , fo ? it i * done with the utmost exactness and system Several records are made of' ' each number drawn , with the prize accompaiuiug , and there aru BO many checks nnd counter checks that a mistake is Impossible. Then tile announcement is made up nnd published la the official paporu of the compa ny' end the pru-s ore puld as fast ns the hold ers present their tickets. Thoao near by come and gat their money. Those at a distance send their tickeU through tholr own bunks to the banks heio , who collect and remit. llvorybody iu New Orlo na invests in this lottery , jiiat ns regularly as they piy their rent , nnd the sale uf tickets is considered an entirely legitimate business. Ii uaur men on i the iru > ruiug of the day , at within five minutes o ( the time the drawing commenced sou d out for a fifth of a ticket , they , h&ving forgotten that , to them , impor tant-duty. . There is ono chunco in twenty of a > prize , and they figure tbat if they looeo nineteen times , they will win enough tbo twentieth , to get their money back.
