I believe that it will give a reasonable fair protection for the great industries of agriculture, manufacture, and commerce, which lie at the basis of the prosperity of this country.
Because it is framed upon the idea that it is the duty of the government, in imposing taxes, to do as little injury to the industry of the country as possible; that they are to be levied so as to extend a reasonable protection to all…
I have given my views, speaking for no other man, frankly and fearlessly, and I will stand by them now and in the future.
God forbid that the despots of the Old World should ever adorn their infernal logic by pointing to a disrupted Union here!
