.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

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

prize that c mo from the ether wai 823.Vh
was the holder ! No one know. It WAS tome

Now York. All these clivues nro patrons of
the company. The management know no
moro who holds the tickets that draw the
prize * than do tha hystftiiders nil there Is of

concerned.
The drawing that I witnosrod took place nt
tha Academy of Muclc , March 11. The
theatre commenced filllntr up nt about 10
u'clock , with people of nil grades , from the
wealthy mnrchant who lin * wino at hl dinner
to tha bootblack whoso days are skirmishes
with hunger. They all had nn Interest In the
proceeding * . At about 10.30 a dozen men ap
peared upon the stngn , two evidently In
charge. 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 ,

nineteen times , they will win enough tbo
