In a speech made by me on the 9th of
September, 1858, it was said of these taxes
aThey bear heavily upon every mans
income, upon every industry and every
business in the country, and year
by year they are destined to press
still more heavily, unless we
arrest the system that gives rise to them.- Il
was comparatively easy, when values were
doubling under the repeated issues of legal
tender paper money, to pay out of the

toward their natural scale, the tax.gstherel

simply say that we can not afford the costly
and ruinous policy of the radical majority
of Congress. We can not afford that policy

Treasury, l said, early In 1860, "Ther'

but it must be pressed persistently. We Sc
