The purpose. plainly stated. is to give to the lobby. the initiation ofa great reform. You proposeto transfer our duty to the representatives of the tariff. You might as well intrust the reformation of Utah to the council of Latter Day Saints. or Mongolian immigration to the six Chinese companies! Protection is the sovereign power of taxation conferred on private individuals. and this bill proposes to arm it with the still further power of legislation ! "Such greatness doth hedge a kingl" Con gress has been supposed to consist of Senate. House. and lobby. but if we look to the sources of political power hereafter. we may describe the constituent bodies as the people and the tariff!
