unreasonable. As Indian corn is produced among
US, may be shipped to England and delivered
without duties upon the wharf at Liverpool, at a
price which will make itperhaps almost the cheap

applies also, in large measure, to the other leading
articles Of food grown in the farming sections Of our
country, and now proposed TO be admitted into the
English ports, with very light duties, with no du-
ties at all.
But il is manifest that, to make this food.market
available to US, We must enlarge proPortionately
our whole commercial intercourse with that coun-
try. The products of British industry must pay
for the products Of American soil. Let US look TO

Mr. J. appealed TO every man on this floor, whie
democrat, who was a friend of the poor man, and
of adopting such legislation would result in the
greatest good to the greatest number, if this was
not more equitable basis of taxation than that pre-
scented to them in the bill under consideration The
revenue Of the government had long enough been
collected from the back and stomach of the poor
man; and if the great mass of the people could come
to understand this subject, they would say, let the
expenses of the government, especially in time OF
war; be paid by those who need the protection;
let them not fall upon those who endure the hard
ships, and fight the battles of the country, and
the wealthy man be exempted, who sits at home be

thousands from specializing, stock jobbing, and
