Whereupon the House, on motion of Mr.. Nc
KAY, again resolved itself into Committee Of the
Whole on the state Of the Union, (Mr. GORDON, OF
New York, in the chair) and resumed the consider
alton of the said bill.
Mr.. TlBBATTS was entitled to the floor, and adj
dressed the committee during the hour. He said:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: do not rise for the purpose of
discussing the bill now under consideration. leave
that to the able chairman Of the Committee of
Ways and Means, [Mr. McKAr;1 he has shown his
ability to be sufficient to support the measures pro-
posed by his committee, and take this occasion to
say, that the country is greatly indebted to him for
the energy and industry with which he has man
aged the interests committed to his charge. Neither
do Intend to reply to the speech Of the gentleman
from Ohio, Mr.. TILpEN, in which he attacked the
President in relation to the Mexican war. The po-
fectly impregnabe, and ] will not repeat what |
said on former occasion in his defence.
One OF the objects Of my rising is to correct a
statement made by the gentleman from Indiana,
Mr.. WICK, of my opinions on the tariff question,
IN his speech, as written out by himself and reported
in the Union. He says:
"Mr. Wick. | presume that, owing to my feeble
health, should not have obtruded myself upon the
attention of the committee, were it not that one
honorable member from the West, Mr.. TBBATTs
of Kentucky in addressing the committee few
days ago, made advocacy of that principle falsely
called protection, and, in so doing, gave to be
derstood that such opinions prevailed TO a good
extent, among the western democracy.
"SIr in that part ofthe West in which live and move
and have my being, the doctrines here promulged by
the hon. member from Kentucky MR. TBBArTsl
have many warm and able advocates But they
are not democrats. They are wings. With us,
in central Indiana, and believe throughout the
State, our system OF opinions the subject of the
tariff is extremely simple. In one word, with
"the tariff is taxation" The honorable member
from Kentucky Mr.. TIBBArrsl recognises the
idea of making the tariff ancilary TO manufactures,
by extending the ratio Of taxation beyond the figure
necessary produce revenue, thereby enabling
tain branches of business to be proftaby prosecu-
ted which without such legal protection las he calls
it) would not exist.
"Sr, this is the wing doctrine in m western range
The democracy Of my district and, believe, of In
dana, call this taxing not for the purpose of reve
nue., but to support monopoly which cannot stand
alone. They call it taxing the many for the benefit
Of the few-legslatng for the benefit of classes and
when they are just little excited by political con-
troversy, they will call il swnding according to
law. And so it is"
How the gentleman could have fallen into SO great
an error. cannot imagine il he had listened atten-
lively TO my remarks or had read them as published
in the Union, he would have found them preciselv
The opposite to those attributed by him to me- The
opinions expressed by me were the following;
81 do not doubt, therefore, the constitutional pow
er, nor the policy and proprety and duty in Con-
gress, in laying tariff for revenue, to discriminate
within the revenue standard or limit for the
