tho manufacturers, such as cotton, an
wool, and iron, aud CrOCkery, the burde
remains almost as heavy as ever. n
striking an average, the tariff Is now 4
oppressive 10 the taxpayer, while
puts less money into the treasury. This
a pretense and a fraud upon the America
people by the republican party. 10 is al
insult to an intelligent people, and Tn
democratic party must resent II. How wa
this bill put through congress? The senat
assumed wrongful invasion in originatin
this bill by taking little reyenu
bill and lacking on the tariff bill. | de
nounced it all through the session. In tn
house, under sort of revolutionary bill
the amendments made by the senate by
conference committee undid all the senate
good work. The representatives o
the people had no chance to max,
your revenue law, for the session was at III
clese. The law as it now 's. is more odiou
by far than its predecessor. The Texa
delegation did all they could to defeat tn,
iniquitous measure. ! believe the mex
presidential canvass will be Tough
on this ground. 1t is al
important question, and | say to the
people of Texas that we should be taxed
lOT buO Vi phO 6ofCi
In regard to our proposed Mexican re-
ciprocity treaty, would say that
it is but the opening, wedge
for O great business that must flow TO us
of benefits that must come from Contra
and South America as well, and this same
infamous tariff has been in the way and
prevented our competition with European
nations, but gradually interest must be de-
veloped from that treaty in the way o.
mining, manufactures, ETC., and Texas Will
be the entrepot Tor all the great trade
What in view of this are few cents from
wool, under high tariff, under that treaty
with low tariff, of all these? Our
cities must swell to immense
population and wealth if there
were free trade with Mexico, western Texas
would grow as though it had been touched
by a magicians hands. This same recip-
rocity treatment is the commencement OF
grand era for Texas, and in the next SEES
sion it will be given to the country.
TO conclude, believe our chances in the
next presidential canvass are for success,
but we must know no division, we must
stand boldly by principle and honest con:
viction, and especially on this great tariff
question. He who iavors protective tariff,
honest though he be, tavors aprincipie that
has no place in q democratic convention.
or in the equality of taxation principle.
This honesty, with and by the people, will
alone perpetuste this republic. The
democracy should csndidlyand clearlymake
known their principles, and should constl-
tute this tariff the leading national issue to
prevent sectlonalisnI. And nowlet me extend
my thanks to those fair lady auditors, and
to you legislators, and my congratulations
tor the successful termination OF your
labors here.
