= lie assisted in 1857, in passing the present
tariff, which is too. low to furnish sufficient
revenue for the support Of Government I: is
tle wors. tariff that has been IL existence tor
twenty-five years. It is a direct tax upon the
industry Of the country, without nhoFd'ns
even incidental protection. I: is ne'thtr pro"
lection nor free trale, being too low Tor 1ne
ore, and too high for the ctser:
Last winter the Republicans passed Twin

if I'LL. which would hare furnished enough
revenue to detiay the expenses Of Government
besides paying of tue National debt in few

forded a fair measure Of protection to American
Industry. would have given magic lmre'
tus to all branches Of mechanical employ 5ment'

flow Of the precious metals which ara sent by
tic shtp-load every year to pay 1or European
fabrics which our OWN ar.izans ana lahofers
should Ia allowed 10 make il this country.
This revised tariff bill, We say, passed. the Re-
publican House at Washington by handsome
majority. I. vas opposed by Douglas tools,
Fouke, Robinson, Morris, Mcclernaad, and
