CONGRESSIONAL SATIRE
The following speech was made in
the House of Representatives about
two weeks ago by Representative
Craig of Alabama in reply to a state
ment made by Nicholas Lougworth
that the Republican party was keep
ing faith with the people by attempt
ing honest tariff revision:
"There are 14 schedules in the tar
iff; 9 of them have been raised, while
bu* j of them have been lowered.
The total raise iu this bill over anu
above the LMngley bill amounts to
per cent: this in the face of the
fact that every republican orator in
tue country was telling the people
during the campaign last summer
mat their party intended to reduce
the tariff. But they contend that
they have put many things on the
iree list, and so they have.
That frw list is wonderfully and
fearfully made, and will, uo doubt, be
a great consolation to the misguided j
American citizen who voted the repubj
lican ticket last fall upon the idea-)
that uy so doing he would help reduc !
his living expenses. If, after this be-j
comes a law. he becomes worried be- ,
cause his socks cost him JO per cent I
more than they used to, he cau conso
himself with the thought that arsenic
is on the free list. If he takes
enough of the latter, the lack of the
former will be immaterial.
He need not worry because lemons
are taxed all out of reason, for on
the free list are epicac and nux vom
ica, either one of which will effect
ually kill an appetite for lemous. or
: nything else.
His coffee will cost him more than
it does now, but he will rejoice to
find that asafetida is on the free list.
Lead pencils for the school chil
dren will be higher, but why worry
rbout that when no tax is required
on balm of Gilead?
Ladies' gloves will cost more, but
leeches can be imported free, if any
should be needed to supply the place
of those who manufacture the gloves.
Tea and cocoa will be almost pro
hibitive iu price, but manna, which
has been free since the day the chil
dren of Israel wandered in the wild
? mess, is stiil on the tree list, thanks
to a generous republican party.
Fret not, dear people, because soap
is going to cost five cents per pound
more than it does now, for on the
tiee list are ashes and lye. which the
republican party seems to think is
good enough for the poor man's toi
let.
Perfumery and cologne are raised
in price, but rags are ou the free list.
A few years more of so called "pros
perity," such as we have had for the
past two V?*ars, and rags will be the
most prominent article in the ward
iobe of all but the protected classes
and their satellites.
If woolen and cotton goods are still
sky high, that is nothing, for kindling
wood is ou the free list; and if any
?voter wants tea for breakfast and
cannot have it because of the exhor
bitant tax levied by this bill, he may
turn to the free list and find there
to his unutterable joy, that tobacco
stems and sea weeds have been mag
nanimously freed of import taxes by
the great republican party."
Harvey Scott of Portland refused to,
become ambassador to Mexico be-;
cause he thinks it will interfere withj
his senatorial aspirations. Mr. Scott |
should remember the adage about a
bird in the hand being worth two in
the bush.
Render therefore to all their dues:
tribute to whom tribute is due; cus
t?in to whom custom; fear to whom|
fear; honor to whom honor. ? Romans,
Chapter 13 ? 7.
