Ho challenged mo when I had a biokcn arm , thcrcfoio ho got away with the bluff. Smith has beaten several men , it is true , but ho has failed to finish Alf Gicenllcld , who passed his davs of usefulness bcfoio the meeting. I won the American championship in the ring , with baie knuckles , und being unable to pioeuro customers I was foiced to assume the role of boxer instead of fighter , disposing of all comers in a limited number of rounds or agreeing to foi felt the gate re ceipts , providing I was unsuccessful. I am rccogni/ed in America us champion of that counti y by all good judges. I have como hero to meet England's best man , but to all appearances I shall bo disappointed. Fleming has thus far squirmed out of every offer , however liberal it may bo , and now that ho is closely cornered ho alleges that Smith requites u icst after his desperate (1) ( ) battle nt Rouen. I hereby agree to defeat Jem Smith in the * sixth round with small gloves , according to the Marquis of Quccns- beny rules , ten days after my battle with Mitchell , the contesHo occur near London before a limited number of spectators. Should I full in my undci tak ing , I w ill forfeit to Smith JC500. I wish the public to know , providing Smith is beaten , that ho loses nothing , while in the event of his success I lose .4.200. Any of the offers 1 have advanced to Smith mo open to Kilr.iin. Can any man living muko gi eater saciiliccs or concessions than I have ? Surely Smith must como to the front or w lit like a wet tag.

In America It is customary to put up money Hist , then talk afterwards , so let Fleming cover the money I liavo in jour hands before ho goes talking as to what ho will do. Kiluiin Is piiv- ilegcd to cover the money that I have stuck under his nose , if Fleming con tinues to display his weakness , or both can plank down 250 each in your hands to cover my 500 , otherwise , It will get moulded from ago waiting for champions to show what right they have to the titles they claim.

EVILS OF THE WAR TARIFF , Prominent Business Mon and States men Discuss the Situation. ALL PARTY LINES OBLITERATED. The DnngcrH of a Surplus Presented By Able Speakers nt n Meeting In I'hllnilclphin-A Plat form Adopted. American Imbor Hoodwinked. 1-iiiA , Jiui.27. A largely attended tin Iff meeting was held at the academy of music this evening "to cnfoico and indorse the recomincndutlons of Picsldents Aithtir and Cleveland for revenue lofoim. " The meeting was called to 01 derby William M. Slngcrly. Ux-Sccrctnry of State Stcnger was elected secretary , and the 2" > 0 business men who signed the call for the meeting were constituted vice presidents. Upon the stimo were over two hundied well known Philadelphia citizens of both parties , among them cx-Govcinois Hoyt and Paulson. The audience was at tentive and enthusiastic throughout. Lettci s of i egret from Hugh McCulloch , S. S. Cox , Secretary i-'uirehlld , Speaker Carlisle , David A. Wells and othci s weio lead. Mr. MtCul- loch sold the turlR was n vvur measure , had served Its purpose and should bo caicfully re vised ; tnat the surplus which it creates Is but ono of its evils. What Is now wanted Is a tariff for revenue with incidental piotcc- tion. tion.The The first speaker was Congicssmnn W. C. P , Hrcckenridgc. Ho said : The surplus now ncciulng Is so much stibtruttt-d from the business enterpilses of the countiy. It fostcis coriuptlon , and is a perpetual menace to honest government. Hut grc.it as these sue tliei uio the least of the evils which confront us now , for this uccumulatlng sur plus thicatens business panics and is cjlucut- ing the people to false ideas of their iclatlons to the government. This is not a paternal govci nment. The money in the ticasury is not the money of the gov ernment. It is the money of the people , wiling fiom them by a false aiidwiong policy of taxation. Twenty-seven jears ago our Hug was In oveiy pott ; now it is In Bc.ucely any. Tiado has been lost to us by n false sjstem which makes the rich , richer , but the poor , pooler. To obtain some idea of what wo can do , look at the leather Undo of the country and how it has tlu ived sitito wo allowed hides' to come in free. The suicst gu.uanty of the perpetuity of this govcinmcnt is the content and tranquility of labor. Wo don't have that now , because our system is falsfc. and wo must abandon it. What is wanted is for the pcn- plc , the laboring people , to get out of their minds the idea that the labor of America needs pi otcction against the pauper labor of Europe , and to get into it that the best pro tcction for labor is independent manhood. Uefcrnng to Piesident Cleveland's message , the speaker said ho was proud to live in a day when a man could bo elected chief magistrate of a nation a biavo enough and honest anil mindful enough of his obligations to the people who could , with the pichidcncy in hi gift , lay it aside for his duty. A platform was then adopted setting fortl : that tax reduction is a necessity ; that the remedy .for excessive 10venue ig revised tax ation. After referring to the rcconunendu tlon ? of Arthur and Cleveland , the platforn states that the existing duties upon raw ma tt-rials which are to bo used in manufactures should bo removed. The duties upon urticlc1 used or consumed by those w ho arc least nbli to bear the burden of taxation , should be re- dutcd. Ex Congressman Hurd , of Ohio , said hi did not come to Philadelphia to untagonl/i the great industiial intcicsts of Pcnnsvl vnnia , but in the hope that ho might bo abl to pursuado her people ili.it the suiest way t perpetuate them would be to refoi m the sj s tern of taxation , which was now threatening the countiy with disaster. Mr. Huul thei entoicd into an elaboiate argument to dem onstrate that the tauff was not in icahty pro tection to American labor and American cnterpi ise , but only , in some instances , th' ' handmaid.
