So rapid has been the growth of our population and so great our own wants. manufactures have not to any great extent outgrown the wants of our own people. As the agricultural States accumulate wealth. as they are now very fast. the debts owing to the East will be paid off. the land will become the property of residents altogether. the price received for the large surplus crops will seek investment in industries in our towns and villages. with a view to consuming at home as much as possible the everincreasing surplus. Now that our people ask protection from the pauper labor of Russia and India oil this article that they have been adopting into the list of cr6ps. it is no more than fair. just. and equitable that the duty on these commodities should be.retained on the statute as they are now. We are far from the seaboard. transportation consumes much of our profits. We have asked that extortion and discrmination on interstate railroads be prevented.
