But a remedy for all this is approaching hourly !
our destiny Is plain, nothing more plain. Does any
man suppose that due time we will not produce anu
manufacture every thing that our all-enconpassing
crcums will permit that we will not use the

Gentlemen look inquirnglyi it is no rhapsody, no

Right says, that those who produce should enjoy
is 1t so? The industrious labor, but through bad
legislation in putting the paper money privilege and

But there is some little alloy, Mr. Chairman to
these good prospects this public debt we are accumu-
lating is cloud upon the future, we'll as reflec-
ton upon the present And this tariff tax Is to do
the wonder fu-pay Government expenses, debt
and interest do not believe it will do the half of
it; instead of thirty millions, do not think it will
bring you fifteen, tea and coffee tax and ALL unless
the people become SO mad buy foreign merchan-
disc just for the sake of being taxed with import du-
ties TO ply the public expenses delectable way
truly OF getting out of debt But have SAID some
thin, about this before What inconsistent though
less nortas we are to hear gentlemen in this Hall
aninadverting upon he immortality of States repudia-
ting their debts and at the moment casting
about ways and means, scheming out the mos, elIgi-
bic and elaborate mode of infIcting debt upon p's
erly about creating, found ny, and increasing debt
for children and our chidren's children to remote
postery perhaps, TO pay saddng their energies and
industry with extravaganza and mlsnanageme !
Il there no immortality, no injustice in hs2 Repu-
diation, indeed Is not nlictng this debt pos er-
ty reputation -cowardly reputation! And 10 see
gentlemen, too going TO the wretched policy of Eng
land, the mo her of debt to inquire into her conri-
, vances ard faculties of getting In debt and taxing her
people, 10 enlighen themselves on this public debt
project Ii ply that there had not been clause in
the Constitution that the Government should get
IN debt; when it wanted money to tax the people al
once, let them know and feel the worst and best at
once, he 1t may, aud they would stop or let their
Government 20 according to the merits of its CON-
duct. When the Government borrows, who Is 1t
from ffom capitalists, and a eIwards taxng labor 10
poy the debt, instead Of taxing capital at once But
the whole policy to tax labor to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of capital, Capital is extracted from labor, and the
/, Government contrives to sill tax that same labor
through its consumption of necessaes, to confer 1t on
capital !-extract from the masses to strengthen the
, power and influence of the favored exclusives This
may not always be intended in the entire sense per-
, haps, but whether or not such is the result The
Government dare not tax directly but will keep build
ing up increasing debt at sacrificing prices be-
if they did the former the people would feel
where the shoe nched at once, and obge their Rep
resentatives retreuch and reform and economic in
earnest and the farmers would that capital should

Some of our politicians with a popularity hunting
air of confidence, much TO say, 81 am doing it
n now, declnim aloud, 81 am against direct tax, the
people will not suffer direct tax But with all
suchclaprap ncsse the agcuIturiss had better look
into the matter little and Judge for themselves, for
Government debt in Republic cannot live for
ever as in England and cannot be paid of the air
The direct tax have had should have been called
