merchants.
Mr. Morrill, said larger number Of gen
tlemen from New York were consulted
than from any other city.
Mr.. Wood remarked that he had nc
doubt gentlem had been here to protect
their own interests He would ask the
gentlemen who the Committee had called
to their aid retired merchants who had no
dollar and cent INTEREST,"
Mr.. Morrel replied that the present bill
was based upon that Of 1851, when mer
chants from all parts Of the country came

summon any person TO consult upon the
subject. The only increase was such as
had become necessary by the increase Of
the Internal Revenue laws.

that it admitted from duty every article
which entered into New England cotton

articles which entered into the sgricult-
ursl and trading interests were addition

errors, who could easier pull down than
build up-tO say where the money was to
come from, or acknowledge frankly that
they did not want it TO como from any
quarter, bee use they did not want 10 sus
tain the Government. Let them tell US,
he continued, how to do it. If they find
fault with our system Of legislation, more
than two-thirds Of the money raised by
the Internal Revenue Bill is to come from
the manufacturers of the country, and
other interests are not protected. 1t will
be impossible to raise such q large sum.
The Committee then arose.
