Eaton then went on to compare the
figures uged by advocates of the
bill, and to point out the discrep.
ancies which existed therein. The
gentlemen were hunting the same

same tree. He wanted to say to
those mem bers who were talking
about robbery. and plunder, and
corruption, and thievery that there
was not q single article that went TO
the south which was not fifty per
cent. cheaper than it was fifteen
years ago. No matter how wrong
protection was, the fact remained,
it had cheapened everything under

man or child used. He
regretted that the gentleman from
Kentucky (Turnef) in MS speech,
had spoken in acontemptuOus man
ner of Yankees. He was a Yankee,
New England Yankee. He loved
his native State and his country,
and he would not hear any body use
a term co1temptuously without ad
ministering just rebuke. The men
of New England had turned the tide
in the revolutionary war; he did not
forget that it was the husbsndmen
Of New Englsnd who won the battle
o. Bennington; he did not forget
that when the commandment chief
OF the army at Saratoga was in

There was no Chinese wall here
and never could be enc; and very
few Chinese. He was 8 Democrat,
because ne believed that with the
Democratic party in power, the
would he better. He
saw no good to his party by passing
this bill.
In conclusion, Eaton made a

Of the rights of the State, and closed
with these words: LET US stand
