I venture the assertion that the greater part of the whole subsidy is contributed by the people of the States of Illinois. Missouri. Iowa. Kansas. Nebraska. and other States where there is a large area of prairie lands. It is especially a burdensome tax upon the pioneers who emigrate into our Western Territories and require lumber for houses. barns. and fences. all of which must be brought from the States I have named. It is the worst form of subsidy to be found in this bill anywhere. There is no element in it of a tariff for revenue. because it produces no revenue in comparison with the vast amount of tax it lays on the people.
