More from John Sherman
Morrill's bill is a great improvement on the tariff of 1857.
I would regard it as a public calamity to have the power of this House placed, directly or indirectly, under the control of this administration.
If that party had been content with the compromise of 1850, and had faithfully observed the pledges in its platform, there would have been no Civil War.
I have participated in framing many tariff bills, but have never succeeded in securing one that I entirely approved.
