CONGRESS. (THE TARIFF BILL.) 



181 



unrestrictedly that pernicious doctrine, as wages 

 fall profits rise. These and much more have I 

 omitted, for there is a limit to all speaking. 



"We know, my friends, that before this tri- 

 bunal we all of us plead in vain. Why we fail, 

 let those answer who read the touching words of 

 Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural and remem- 

 ber that he pleaded with these same men and 

 their predecessors. Where he failed we can not 

 hope to succeed. But though we fail here to- 

 day, like our great leader of other days in the 

 larger field before the mightier tribunal which 

 will finally and forever decide this question, we 

 shall be more than conquerors; for this great 

 nation, shaking off, as it has once before, the 

 influence of a lower civilization, will go on to 

 fulfill its high destiny, until over the South, as 

 well as over the North, shall be spread the full 

 measure of that amazing prosperity which is the 

 wonder of the world." 



We give these extracts from the speeches of 

 the Democratic leader and the Republican leader 

 simply to represent the drift of argument on 

 each side. Some of the speeches delivered were 

 more methodical in arrangement and fuller in 

 statistical information; but it would be difficult, 

 and perhaps useless, to follow the course of the 

 debate step by step, as the topic was discussed 

 fully in the First Congress, and has been argued 

 at length at various periods since then. 



The vote on the internal-revenue amendment, 

 adopted in Committee of the Whole, and em- 

 bodying the income-tax provision, was as fol-
