IN danger OF being thrown from our place. II the
government did not give some help we should lose
Which was opening up Never nad snepe been
tnie In the history OF any nation when such pros
pect was open-when such a future was within It's
grasp to be seized and saved For these reasons he
was ready to make this case an exception, and TO
say that IN this great historic sea OF the future this
country should Dc tho chief ruler anu controller OF
It's mighty worlds.
MI. ByfLba, rep) Of Mass, opposed the amend.
words, but with things. Ali the money which went
into the Treasury was wrung By taxation from the
people or me purpose OF carrying on their govern
ment ana Tor no other purpose. Congress had no
right to appropriate any or IL for the advantage OF
any other cause, however good. however high. how
ever noble, and certainly IL had no right to apprO-
pirate any OF 1t for the benefit or private specua.
msns, ana dld So ne said as supplement TO me
remarks winch he had made last Friday. In lcck-
lions OF the gentleman rom New York mr. Wood)
and the gentleman from Pennsylvania mr. Kelley
ne knew OF no such malicious and proper appropria-
ton OF money as that which would add TO the chan
nels OF trade and gather INTO the custom House OF
tbs country those revenues which would otherwise
go to other nations TO enrich their treas
uries, their households and their people. No
man could stand on the wharf at San francisco
ana see one OF those magnificent steamers come IN
with Its treasures from the East that would other
wise have found their way to European ports, and
then see 1t go out, taking back the products OF the
manufactures ana industries OF this country to
those new markets without being impressed with
the great truth that commerce Is not all one
Side. that every dollars worth which we take TO
other ports
CONES BACK TO US IN ANOTHER SHAPE
ana enrtches us; that commerce enrlches those who
engage In 1t on the one side and on the other. He
would go not for this subsidy alone but for every
Judicious expenditure OF money which might be
proposed for bountles TO fishermen ON the Eastern
coast. This last remark was directed to Mr.. Butler,
OF Massachusettsl There was, as the gentleman
from New York had said, o mighty strug
gle as TO whether all the treasures Of the
East should come through American ports, to be
distributed among our people and taken In ex.
change lOr products, or whether they should be
carried to us through European ports. He could
not agree with the gentleman from Indiana lMr.
Br00Ssl that we should build ships, open no har
bors erect no custom houses. expend no money 70
contribute to increase the commerce Of the country
or that we should
LOOK FOR THAT PRIMITIVE STATE
where we should be free from all the regulations
and rules of trade, and from all the laws OF com.
merce and industry. He could not consent to 60
back to that condition OF things even under the Co
gent reasoning OF the gentleman from Indiana.
The discussion was further. continued BY MI.
KELLEY, OF Pennsylvania, In favor OF the amend.
ment, and by Me5srs. HOLMAN and KERR against
It, The latter said that the supremacy Of
England on the ocean was due, not to ner policy OF
subsidies, but to her rational and sensible policy Of
Tree rade-ree trade In snips free trade In tr0n IN
cotton, IN woollen, and even In pig iron.
Without dtsposng OF the amendment the commit
tee rose and the House, at quarter 70 i've O'Clock,
adjourned.
