THE FARMERS A NI) THE TARIFF CONGRESSMAN AIKEN'S REFLEC TIVE AND EO RC I RLE SPEECH. Tn thc House of Representatives on Hie Otk instant, tho Agricultural Appropriu tion bili being under discussion, Congres mun Aiken urged that thc bill be uilitinded sn ?a to ni l?w thc oom missioner of agricul ture lo distribute nesv omi valuable seeds and plants to prtCtioal tanners, instead of supplying '.hem to .Senators and Congress UH U for distribution Ile s%id; Moreover I cannot understand why it should bo the duty, tho privilege, or the pleasure of a member of Congress lo dis?, tribute Heeds ol' any sort, to any person. J do not doubt hui that every Congressman is sudloiontly oirouuiapoot to be familiarly acquainted with the most, successful far mers in his district, even (hough said dis trict be situate ] in thc midst of ono of our large cities; for who knows every man lio meets, or oven those he never mot before, bolter than a member of Congress, particu larly when grave results arc anticipated on tho first Tuesday in thc following November? i Why, sir, these diminutive little seed bigs, I containing pei haps thc (lne-Hiroo hundred - I anti-seventy-sc veut h pint of sonto rare ?nd j valuable seed, botanically known by some Uti* i pronounce ible nu tuc, doubtless familiar I however to tho member of Congress, are potent to effect results in thc futuro. They arc us elie dive as tho famoiH tissuo billots, which after having served thc term of a patented existence (seventeen yetis) in Y'aukoo land, is reputed to have sought au extension away down in Dixie. With redil nee to ibo appropriation of 85,000 fur experiments in thc outturn and lii.inuf.iaturo of ten, Col. Aiken gnvo a his tory of the Sum incivil lo, S C., tea farm, showing that thc unfavorable report of Mr Sun.dors in "foll of living prejudice, vented spleen und distorted foots.'* lie said we should not hesitate to appropriate liberally a ii nu illy for the development ol' this new industry, lor iti; prospects tiro favorable, fir lin ?I?* so than wis the development ni cotton oui turo n century ugo. and yet wo export annually over8200,000,Ol'O worth ?>!' nw cotton a nd consume one third ns much in our home manufactories. Col.

And the State ot" I Vonny I varia, receiving through protection 884, 989 870 upon her iron production, is paid bounty of 820,072.50 1 by tho consumer of her products over '.uni above tho tot . amount of wanes annually paid by nil th iron manufactories of the United States t ?ll of their employees, ls it any wonder then, Mr, Chairman, that our iron manu facturors are able to pay largo salaries t labor?is!' And still less is there cause fo surprise that iron munulaoturers uro pro lectivo tariff mon, regardless of nny ollie phase of their political creed;' TH U WOU KM KN DO SOT G ET IT.

Suppe (hese labor?is, imbued with thal spirit rebellion which tho gentleman from Pern sylvania (Mr. Kelley) told in yesterday I lind seen manifested in hu St ile in oppos lion to thc supervision required by Ol system of internal taxation, wcro to Still lor a co??opor\tivo distribution of tl earnings of Iholrown labor, think yon, M Chairman, it would amount to m ire tin 85 per cent, of the bounty paid thc: manufacturers hy tho gOVOrtimoill ? I agriculture labor is frequently estimated i tho value nf thc product. In iron in uni factures it is less than 85 per 0 nt. of ll bounty of tho government mid yet it claimed to bo 90 per cent, ol' thc villi produced. The assertion really seems (ai cica I. THU COTTON Tl Vi rilAUl). Mr. Chairman, how insatiate is tl greed ol humanity! Not content wit their already dazzling incomes through tl bounty of thc government, theso iron mc arc attempting to increase, and doubtless will increase, tho tariff upon that class of manufactured iron in which is iucludcd "colton tit'?/' n description of iron that off ct s tho pockets of thc greatest number i of ibo poorest laborers in this country. Those laborers aro, however, all farmers, who seldom feel thc helping: hand of o pntort)rt) Government. The duty on cotton tics some years ?go w?)3 70 per cent, ud valorem For some reason, not pertinent I st this moment, this duty was reduced to l 85 jer cent, od valorem, which is about I three-fourths of one cent per pound. The ! bill familiarly known as thc McKinley bill ! propo-?B to restore tito 70 per cont, tax or increase tho duty three? foul tbs ul' 1 cent I per pound. Cert duly such ti lax. is only a I mite when imposed upon ttn individual farmer, but what, is ir, when aggregated I open ti coito'? ',,op numbering millions of I balct? ic',, bale usually has six lies j around .'. bud they weigh ten pounds, ? l)(M'.cC the. levy upon each bile is 7 A cents. :'The crop of 1882 will doubtless aggregate I 0.000 000 bales and hence tho lax on I he ! 80.000,000 tics that bind them will amount I to tito sum of 8450,000. Now, sir, if this amount c nhl bc collected at our custoin ! houses and then covered into thc treasury not a farmer in tho South would complain of tlic tax Hut when wc kc ow from past exprim?e that it will ?ll go, rr ?I least Si lil.OO'J of it, into the coffers of less than a ball' n dozen cotton tie manufacturers of this country, we can but denounce the proposition aa an effort to rob thc many for j the hone lit ol' t he few. j Hat, Fir, the cotton f irmer is blandly told ho t'lmuld not complain, for inasmuch us he buys liiere ties t<t 2-' cots per pound or less by retail, he suits (hem around his boles><t tho net price of cotton, 0, 10 or ll cents per pound. This plausible allu ment (loes not warran! an unjust lax. Hut however plausible tho proposition, it is not true ie fact. The price of cotton in the South is regulated by the prico ia Now York, Mud the price in New York depends upon thc pri?e in the English market, which is graduated by speculation und not by supply und demand. If this Congress would or could impose thc penalty of thc hangman's rope around the nock of every man who dealt in what H knowe lech?n I cully ns "cotton futures," positivo omi direct protection would bo given to lin cot lou planters in so far aa they arc de fmuded by tho gamblers of New York one! ! elsewhere.

Hence ai j increased duty upon the colton tie wouh ! be a direct tax upon thc farmer for th benefit of the manufacturer. TH B Ol.I) CRY, Mr. Chairman, there is another fea I ur about tho iron industries of our counlr worthy of attention. Iron manufacture! never nd mit that a reduction of tho turi j will injure their investment; they alway i assert, ih n it will completely destroy then !

TUB TAU1 Kr ON ni OK. As with cotton ties and quinine, so Would be witii pig iron, Hessemer steel, Ol nails, er any other industry now too hiiih protected by our t-uil? laws. Do not u dent m l we, Mr. Chairman, as ndvooatii the repeal of tho t.iiff in toto. Certain in lids la'c day, when wo ard Oppro*S< With that ind i n il system of taxation whit Mr. del?orsou doubtless characterized ai denounced in stronger language than th attributed to him by thu gentleman fro Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley) and when wo are burdened willi a heavy national debt, i no reasonable man would desire to seo thc ono repealed, the other entailed upon pus- I ferity, and our customhouse doors thrown open to foreign? rs to tho detriment, if not destruction, of all home manufactures. I imagino such n proposition never entered tho blain of tho most extreme Freetrader. J.?ut i do not doubt but that a majority of thc thinking mcu ot' our country huvo contemplated usd do desire a rcduoliou of tho lat iii upon, tho most of our manufac tured articles. In my mind il is apparent t'iat no protection should bo given any article, beyond that which would place tho producers upon un equal footing with the foreign producer in thc homo market. Kur instance, 1UU pounds of l&ist India rico can bo delivered in our customhouses for $2.90. lt cos's our linnie producers of rice S 1.88 to place a like quantity in our homo market. Thc diff?rence is S 1.43. To that extent I would protect thc rico planter of, my State and no more. Thc present tariff on rice is $2.50 per hundred pounds 'I his is SLOT more iban thc difference in the cost of production abroad, and ju?t thal much more than it. ought to bc, because it is taking hy law from tho consumer of 100 pounds of rico 81.07, for which no earthly equivalent is niven iu return. And the same rule would hold good, Mr. Chairman, with u'l other protected articles, und, sir, 1 am sanguine that with this reduction our manufacturers would not shrink from com - petition willi all other nations, nor with tho . ishuiaelitc of natiuus." Tho Anti-Chincso Bill Passed by tho Sonato. JONES, or NEVADA, MAKES A NOT.WILE WHITE SUI'REMACY SPEECH. Tho speech of Son nt or Jones, of Nerada, on the Chinese bill, March Dill; has created a marked sensation in political circles. It was iv very strong nnti-Chinoso argument. Tho few speeches Senator Jones makes ure always j worth listening to, but the heart of thc pro duction was that part touching on negro | su fir n go in the Sou I h. It was thc outcome of j that white supremacy theory necessitated by j tho nuti-Chincsn agitation and it WUK tho balliest utterance on Ilia suffrage question which ha? been made in Con gr CHU fur many years. Coming from tho warm personal friend of thc President it gains additional significance. Moro notable still is thc fact that while tho air was yet vibrating with his fenid words, a do/.on of his Republican j colleagues ol thc Se?alo und lloif-c rushed to congratulate him with enthusiastic warm lb, ] Thc opinion is everywhere espresso I, eave j in tho extremo Republican coterie of semi-j mentalists, that this speech is tho most legi? ? cal, thc mist ublo and tho most oonclos'uo | which has yet been heard on the ruco que tim. j In the c.'/ime nf his spec li Senator Junes enlarged upon the consideration thal Ibo in telligence or creiilivc genius of thc country in overcoming obstacle*, not its material rc? sources, constitutes its wealth. Ile paid that the low wages of the Chinese while benefit ing individual employers would ultimately impoverish ibo country by removing tho stimulant to cr?alo labor saving machinery and ?ike inventions. ll > spake of what bc called tho doarth of intellectual notivity in thc South in every department but one, that nf politics, This wns because ni tho presence of ii servile race there. Tho absence of Southern name- i>i tho patent (.(lice is an il lustration. Wo would n u wcloomo Africans here. Their presence was not n blousing to us, hut an impediment in our wiy. Tho rc lotions cf tho wliito and colored races of tho South were now no nearer ndjustinont than they were years agi. Ho w mid prophecy that the African rnco would never bc per milted to dominate any State of tho South. Thc experiment to (hat end had been a dis mal lailnro, and f> i lure, net beeauso wc huvo not tried lo moko il succeed, but because laws away above human laws have placed uno race superior and fur above the other. Tho votes of the ignorant class might pro? pondorttto. but intellect, not numbers, is thc superior fnteo in this world, We clothed the African in Union Ulno und thc belief that ho was ene dav lo bo Ircc was a cundi? light in thc soul, but it is ono thing to aspire to be free and another thing to have the intolli' gonce and sterling qualities of character t>? maintain free gotonmenl. Tho speaker hore expressed tho belief that if loft alone to maintain government tho negro would gradually retrogrado and go back to thc mpthods of bis ancestors. '.Thi*," ho added, .'may bc heresy, but I bclivo it to bc truth. If, when thc first shipload of African slaves cunio lo this c 'tinily ibo belief lind spread Hint they would ba tho canso of political agitation und civil war, mid tho futuro lind boen foreseen, would they have been allowed to land? How much of this country would now bo worlli preserving if tho North had boen covered by Africans as is South Care linn to-day? In view of their noii-af<simi? biting characteristic! thc wisest policy would have boen to exclude thom at thc outset. So wo say of ibo Chinese tn-day," bc exclaimed, "and for the greater reason beeauso their skill makes them moro formidable com poll tort limn negroes. Subtle and adept in thc nianip* illation, the Chinaman can bc put into almost uny kind of factory. His race is ns obuox* ions to us us impossible for us to nssinii* Into as Ibo ndgro race.

SILK CULTUUK IN THU SOUTH.-Tho Southern St iles ure peculiarly adapted in soil nnd climate to tho cultivation of silk. Labor is cheap, and, co m pa rod with tho other sections of the country, the conditions of life there tire singtiljrly suited to tho development of this industry. Owing to thc improvements in machinery various articles of household use, tho making of which, ten or twenty yea ra ago, gave em ployment to ibo women nnd children of a family, aro now manufactured much ohcapci than they could bc fiiniiihed in tho old way. Tho result is that in a country Uko thc South where factories aro just coming into existence, and where there is scarcely any '4t:maudi for tho lower grades of un? skilled feminine labor, there ure thoucauds and tcn.3 of thous iuds ot persons who arc compelled to live iu enforced idleness. Tho cultivation of silk would give this class of propio an interesting and profitable occu pation. Scarcely any cue of our numerous industries is making moic rapid progress.
