which would result from putin: wool

La Toilette, of Wisconsin. took up
and criticised CarlIsles speech On the
bill, especially that portion in which
the Speaker kendeavOred to show the
prosperity CT the country under the low
tariff decade from 1850 to 1860. 70 do
this, said La Toilette, Carlisle I'd re-
course 10 tie per Centage argJ ment,
and had showa that the per centage OF
increase in the wooden, cotton, hard
ware, hosiery and boots and shoes
\ industries had been very large.
/ The trick of the percentage argument
was that the manufacture might be so
small that any increase would make
percentage showing. The gentleman
had taken care to select those al ticles
which with one exception) wer9 not
touched, or only slightly, by the act OF
46 The gentleman had said the. tariff
of '46 had been so beneficial that in 1857
every representative from England who
voted at all, mad votes for the bill,
making an almost uniform reduction
of 20 per cent, and among them ustin
l.. Morrill,. This was an error so gross
and unjust as to demand correction and
rebuke to the gentleman from Ken
lucky, who used It with such emnhasls
and telling effect. The statemeh was
either an inexcusable blunder tr the
meanest sort of political pettltogglng.
Nothing escaped the genuenan's net:
ne claimed everything for low tariff.
He had both ends of the "teeter" in
the air at the same time. He trifed
with facts when he said this country
had recovered from the depression Of

At the conclusion of his speech La
~ Toilette was heartily congratulated by
