Mr.. I. is mistaken in one matter. A bridge
across White river, will cost ten thousand
dollars more than his estimate. We do not
want fine, costly bridge-bu such a bridge
as zoe must haze to dnsper the purpose viz !:
a Substantial bridge: with draw in it, will

ThcrefDrc
Reso,rei By ne Senate anil House If Repre-
senitiircS. That our Tariff OF duties ON foreign
imports ought always To be so regulated As TO
rive broad field to commerce in those pro-
duclions of common necessity which We do moi
create; and to secure to the farmers and me-
chanics Of the country market for every |
thing they can produce. In this division there |
will always be scope enough for large aud
PROSPEROUS foreign commerce, winch Will be |
sustained by an equally prosperous and always
charging home industry.
R,S0lrrd, That rs duties are laid to dciray
the expenses of government OF nation, it must
be obvious to every rejecting mind that those
duties should be collected in such manner AS
is most certain to secure the amount INTENDED
/ 20 be assessed and that the system adopted by
the first Congress, and by every Congress since
down to 1916, which was to lay specific duties
on every article of inn ort which could be con-
venieuty reached in this way, seems to be, by
the common sense of the commercial world, the
ONLY safe method for government to collect
its revenues, and that general and lndiacrlm-
mate system of ad va orcm duties is taacy
which we believe no other nation except the
United S atcs have ever adopted and that the
agricultural classes and the labor of the coun-
try have been seriously injured by this policy
Rcyolred, That we look upon the present
policy of England with an eye OF dlstrust ana

it is not for you and me, perhaps, to quarrel |
