| Government IT has at no time provided enough
revenue for such needs. but II has caused
constant deficiency in the Treasury and steady
depletion in the earnings Of labor and land. IL
has contributed to swell our National debt more
than $2G2 100000. a sum nearly as great as the
debt of the Government from Washington to
| Lincoln including all our foreign wars from
the Revolution to the Rebellion. Since its pas
sage work at home has been diminished; prices
| of agricultural products have fallen; confidence
has been arrested, and general business demor-

our tariff legislation as severely our laborers
