More from Charles Sumner
I am in favor of a tariff for revenue, such a one as will yield a sufficient amount to the treasury to defray the expenses of the government, economically administered.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
