he challenged contradiction he put them before the gentlemen and begged thern to examine and disprove them if they could he invited them to reflect upon them in a spirit of candor to dismiss from their minds all party bias ; to rise for once superior to the low grov : elling prejudices of party to wake up to the great interest and feel for the real strength and true glory and independence of their native land iffs ; thus developing and relying upon their own resources encouraging and sustaining their own national industry promoting their own prosperi ty and thus establishing as we should do their own national independence on the most solid and lasting foundations the gentleman from alabama will no doubt discover another terrible absurdity when mr s stated that great britain exported and sold more agricultural produce than any other coun try in the world yet it is strictly and unde niably true exported not in its original form but worked up and converted into goods iron cloths c consisting of raw materials and breadstuff's great britain exported,on an ave rage more than two hundred and fifty millions of dollars worth of manufactures one-half of the whole value of which consi-ted of the pro duce of the soil the united states took about one-fifih part of all the exports of great britain being more than all europe put together in a report of a committee in the british par liament made some years ago it appeared that the british goods consumed by the people of the different countries of europe france russia prussia austria spain belgium c amount ed to fourteen cents 1 worth per head while the people of the united states in the same time consumed three hundred and fifty-four cents worth per head ! this showed the immense importance ot the american market to great britain and accounted for her great solicitude to retain it it also showed the superior wis dom of the european governments in exclud ing british goods by high and prohibitory tar they could never find favor with the american people while a spark of patriotism animates their hearts or a drop of revolutionary blood runs in their veins here was a beautiful reciprocity here were the beauties of free trade here were our e quality of benefits we took fifty millions in british goods one-half of it agricultural pro duce while she took one-quarter of a million of our bread-stuffs this was our boasted brit ish market to us .' the american market con sumed annually nearly a thousand millions of american grain ; the british market one-quar ter of one million great britain took of our flour not a tenth part of the amount taken by the east and west indies ; not a third part as much as brazil not as much as the little island of cuba and not much more than half as much as hayti poor miserable negro hayti took last year 53,144 barrels of our flour while england scotland and ireland together took but 35,355 barrels of flour and one barrel of corn meal yet we are told in the face of these official facts by the secretary of the treasury that we must take more british goods other wise she will have to pay us u cash for our breadstujfs and not hiving it to spare she will not buy as much of our cotton what an in sult to american farmers is this as an hon orable man must he not blush fur his reputation when he looks upon these facts ? hut what belter could we expect from this ameiican se cretary who over and over in his report de nounces the substitution of american manufac tures for foreign goods and declares that dine taxation is more equitable and just than ditties on foreign goods especially in its operation on the poor better levy taxes on our own pro ductions than on those of foreigners ! such are the doctrines openly avowed by this secretary to favor his miserable system of free trade away with such british doctrines as these !— struggle for the american market he took the american side on the other hand the gen tleman from alabama and his friends went for free trade for opening our ports to the man ufacturers of all the world ; for bringing in free ly the pauper productions of great britain to overwhelm the rising prosperity of our own poor but industrious citizens they went for crush ing american enterprise grinding down ame rican labor and putting their countrymen on a tooting with the very sweepings of the poor houses of europe and would in the end bring ihem down to their political as well a their pecuniary and moral condition mr s was for cherishing american labor for giving it high wages ; for surrounding it with all the substan tial comforts of life which was the true friend of the people ? and yet these free trade " advocates from the secretary down professed to be the exclusive friends of the " poor man and we are denounced as the friends of " mil iionaires and monopolists we now imported fifty millions worth of british goods annually and therein we imported twenty-five millions worth of british agricultural products ; of eng lish wool english grain english beef and mut ton english flax english agricultural produc tions of every kind and yet gentlemen would rise here and talk of a british market for our breadstuff's why how much of his did eng land take ? not a quarter of a million in ail its forms ! cholic after bleeding copiously in the mouth take a half pound of raw cotton wrap it around a coal of fire in such way as to exclude the air when it begins to smoke hold it under the horses nose—un til he becomes easy cure certain in ten minutes fistula when it makes its appear ance rowel both sides of the shoulders ;

and would it not be just as sensible to say " reduce the revenue to increase the revenue ?" duties and revenue are convertible terms _■ you want twenty.five millions from the tariff—that sum must be raised no matter how you impose the duties ; and why not so arrange them as to pro tect and sustain your own national industry thus making taxation itself prolific of benefits and blessings to the people 1 mr s's system was this : select the articles you can manufacture to the full extent of our own wants then in the language of thomas jeffer son " impose on them duties lighter at firs and afterwards heavier and heavier as the channels of supply were opened this was jefferson's plan ; the reverse of modern democratic " free trade next mr s went for levying ihe high est rates of duty on the luxuries of the rich and not on the necessaries of the poor encourage american manufactures and while on the one hand the poor man found plenty of employment on the other he got his goods cheap he could clothe himself decently for a mere trifle he wanted no foreign commodities but his tea and coffee and they were free and should remain free the poor man could now buy cloth for a full suit from head to foot for less than one dollar of substantial american manufacture he had himself worn in this hall a garment of this same goods at 10 cents per yard and it was so much admired that more than a dozen members had applied for similar garments and they had been supplied to senators and others yet we are told the tariff taxes oppresses the poor put high revenue duties on wines on brandies on silks on laces on jewelry on all that which the rich alone consumed and which the poor man did not want take off the du ties from the poor man's necessaries and give him high wages for his work that was the way to diffuse happiness and prosperity among the great body of the people that was good sound democratic policy he was for lifting up the poor he was for " levelling upward ;" for increasing the domestic comfort of our own laboring population—the true dcnvicracij of the country the rich could pay and ought to be made to pay and they should pay ; the poor man could not and should not with his consent mr s went for the system which elevated the poor man in the scale of society that promo ted equality that essential element in all free governments not by pulling down the higher but by lifting up the lower classes to their level the gentleman from alabama and his friends advocated a policy which would have precisely the opposite effect their system would truly make the " rich richer and the poor poorer the gentleman advocated a system whose di rect and undeniable tendency was to destroy competition and thereby give a monopoly to the heavy capitalists he would benefit those very " millionaires " of whose presence here he com plained so loudly there was another thing of which the tariff was an index and that was the public prospe rity when the people were poor they could not afford to consume luxuries : imports fell off and down went the revenue hut when duties were high and domestic competition was exci ted agriculture having abundant markets and labor full and profitable employment the peo ple became prosperous they lived in comfort they could afford to pay for fine goods and lux uries—and up went the revenue reduce the tariff break up ameiican industry and you clothed the people in rags and your treasury became bankrupt the national revenue and the national prosperity went up and down to gether and were always coincident with na t ion a i protection and was not this a pretty time to select for the reduction of duties ? now when we had just entered into a war whose duration no man could predict or calculate ? when we went to war in 1812 we doubled the duties : now it was proposed to cut them down one-half what a consummate proof of political wisdom and finan cial ability was here exhibited ! on the subject of tho revenue lie would ven ture to predict that if the system of measures recommended by the secretary—the reduction of he tariff the change from specific to ad va lorem duties the subtreasury and the ware housing system were adopted—the revenue next year would not be half the amount it will be this year mark the prediction " not half who could deny the far:t that with the raising of the tariff the revenue increased and with its diminution the revenue fell off till at last under 20 per cent which the secretary considered the very beau ideal the very perfection of a revenue system—the nett revenue sank down to less than thirteen millions there was bi3 theory—and there alongside of it stood his proof and his proof utterly subverted his the ory did it prove that reducing duties to 20 per cent raised the revenue to its highest poinl just the reverse it reduced it to the very low est point of depression while his theory said that 20 percent would give the highest his proof showed that it gave the lowest the democracy of the keystone state are almost ananimoasj oppoae*'to tne bill to repeal the discrimination established by the existing tariff in faror oi the products and manufactures of our own country we have before us the proceeding t the •' democratic county con vention or w ashington county at which gen joh park presided : and among the resolu tions unanimously adopted stands conspicuous the following : rewired that we most earnestly deprecate materi our system of tanffdu ■ - that at all time i 1 the d ity of oar g ■ ent ' to protect ail th irr-at int commerce,and navigation by ■ tor^-ijn p:v i an ;
