how legislation on the subject of salt

ed acas again paid as one of tn
means to induce them not to take pa,t
against oar country in faror of the
enemy. Rather severe on the "trulv
loil." From Mr.. Wells report for
1868 1t appears that the value Of
beet, pork and butter, exported
amounted to s2O25, 4O6, while the to.
tai OF fish exported was only 81, 49s,-
o4o. How comes it then that heavy
bounties are paid to the fish export
ers OF Massachusetts, and Maine while
no oountles, however small, are paid
to the exporters of beef, pork and
butter of the other States I? WHY il
it that the people of Ohio are taxed
to pay this tribute to New Englands
Why are the people of the great
West, the stock raising and agricul-
tural regions of the country taxed TO
pay millions upon millions of bounty
to New England? Sir, we continu.
ally hear the cry for protection COM
ing up from New England. Protec-
ton for whom? For New England
monopoists. Aggression against
whom Against the Western and
Southern agriculturists. Under our
laws fish packer would buy salt Of
Custom House in New England for
s9.307 which would cost at the same
place, the beef packer or the batt.r
packer OF the West $23,747. The
people of New England think the
West is big goose and that tho
feathers belong to New England.
The operation Of r'ucking is an un-
pleasant one and we want it stop
ped. The following should astonish
the tax payers. Gen. Morgan said,
that during the war while Massachu-
setts furnished 1877 Regiments less.
than New York she was paid as ex-
penditures 81, 1851 more than New
York. While she furnished $50 req
iments less. than Pennsylvania, she
was paid as expenditures $1,392,984
more than Pennsylvania. While she
furnished 100, Regiments less than
Ohio she was paid for expenditures
S9ll ,243 more than Ohio. This is
yankee patriotism always grab, gnb.
grab. Gen. Morgan in concluding
said I: and I repeat, that with a vigi-
lance which never slumbers, with q
shrewdness which never miscalcu-
lates, with an avarice which is never
satisfied, the monopolists Of New
England have fastened themselves
Like leeches upon the heart of the M
ton and are now drinking its LIES
blood. These are the words of
brave and gallant soldier of two war;,
that Of Mexico and the rebellion, and
a better, Or truer, or more courteous
gentleman never served on battle
field or Legislative hall. he most
clearly pointed out the eternal greed
and avarice of the yankee, or IN
palmer words he proved that the peo-
pie of the country were daily robbed
OF their substance in order to minis
ter to the insatiate cravings Of set
OF scheming, canting hypocritical
knaves, who rule and rob us while
they howl humanity and religion and
we fools submit tamely to it.
