for the United States Government to say, 1--WE will
do the same TO you that you have done to u.s." He

backed up by retaliation Of that kind. 1t would be
unworthy OF a great nation to undertake to
enforce its claim on another Government by
any such small method Of retaliation. He also
stated that the aggregate amount appropriated in
these bills was S6S5, 5o2 with interest
