about the Tariff; but am strongly tempted TO state
a fact two in reply to the gentleman from Viz

fits Of foreign trade He went altogether in favor Of
importing foreign goods, and creating market
for the benefit Of foreigners. Wonld our own ag.

Nothing could more effectually divert the benefit
from our own people and pour it in constant
stream upon foreign labor No American interest
was so much benefited by protective system as
that of agriculture. The foreign market was moth
ing, the home market was everything to them /; it
was as one hundred 10 one, The Tariff gave us
the great home market while the gentleman
scheme was to secure us, at best but the chance
of market abroad. while it eiieclually destroyed
our secure and invaluable market at home. The
gentleman says he IS very anxious 10 compete with
the pauper labor Of Europe | will tell him one
