But another pretext of national char'

asserted; that all its tendencies, are 70 pro-
Huce individual encouragement, idieness,
and extravaganza, according 10 us opera

Mr.. Speaker.-l am extremely desi..
rous. Mr.. Farmer, to encourage national
industry; now u you will be very indus
trious. and raise great deal OF wheat,
| you shall be at liberty to dispose OF one
halfof the residue OF the sales, alter pay
I ing all pubic contributions; but l will take
the other halt TO give to the manufacturer,
because, | have taken notion into my
head, that this operation will encourage
| patloasl industry.
Mr.. Fsrmer,--Why Mr.. Speaker, this
appears to NE abominably arbitrary, and
! unjust. Because, my God gave the an TN
| herent right, to dispose OF all the proceeds
OF my labor, after paying the public con-
tributions, and you have no right to take
one half from me for any fanciul notion OF
yours; aud what right in justice has the
manufacturer, 10 one halt Of the proceeds
of my labor? Why not let him labor tor
himself? Poor encourage ment Tor me 10
be industrious, Mr.. Speaker; poor encou.
ragement to raise wheat Mr. Speaker: re-
member, Mr.. Speaker, there are more lar
mers, than manutactufers--w where then Is
! the encouragement to art,onal industry 10
come from? Great encouragement 10 US
farmers, Mr.. Speaker, to be treated so un'
iustlg. Now say IN your own conscience,
Mr. Speaker, whether nv God, who gave
me right to the zrhole proceeds OF my la
bur, does not bold out TO NE greater en-
enlargement to industry than you do, who
propose to rakehalf the proceeds from me.
dr. Speaker-O pray don't get angry
Mr.. Farmer ayou don't seem to understand
| me, Mr.. Farmer. When you 20 to buy
pair of shoes, don't intend TO send the
marshal nor bis deputy, with you; and ~her
you have paid one dollar, as the tair ana
full price of the shoes to The vendor, to re-
quire the public officer to pu bic hand In
your pocket, to take oul another dol liar, snr
put it into the pocket Of the vendor, a:
encouragement to the shoemaker. o! No
Mr.. Farmer, ] know trick worth two o
that; intend 10 make the vendor, collector
himself; and he will blend the price OF the
encouragement with the price OF the shoes
and have already blended the chara cteI
of the collector with the character of the
vendor: 80 that you will never know any
thing at all about the matter. But pray
| Mr.. Farmer, don't get offended. II Is al
for your own good. Have you not seen
Mr.. Farmer, what myself said in three
or four speeches this Congress about the
speculiar relation in whice | stand TO-
wards The people Of the U States! woulc
not offend you for the world am trying

tMr. Farmer, what the immortal Shake
