More from John Sherman
Morrill's bill is a great improvement on the tariff of 1857.
I have given my views, speaking for no other man, frankly and fearlessly, and I will stand by them now and in the future.
I have participated in framing many tariff bills, but have never succeeded in securing one that I entirely approved.
It is not in my blood and these gentlemen cannot put it there.
