But upon all great principles there can be no difference among people who understand them. You gentlemen from Massachusetts represent districts where I have no doubt there are a large number of operatives. white men. women. and children. employed in your manufactories. Now. suppose they were discharged tomorrow and made to give place to an equal number of coolies. what would be the condition of affairs in the State of Massachusetts ? The people of this cosutry are taxed everywhere for the purpose of ennobling and dignifying labor. Everything we wear. as my friend from Kentucky said the other day. is taxed.
