Why. sir. we can not supply that corn from Texas. because the transportation from the settled part of the State to the boundaries on the io Grande would cost too much. and this market is supplied by the little contiguous arms lying along the Rio Grande and along the border of Mexico. whence it is brought into our country. But this is all to be stopped. And why? Oh. but you are proposiog to protect the farmer and dissipate all his alarm. You are going to stretch your arms around him and pour sweet words of comfort into his ears. You are going to tell him that he shall not be disturbed by the foreign pauper. who shall not be allowed to bring in pauper rye to compete with him. How much rye did we import last year? Sixteen bushels! [Laughter and applause on the Democratic side.] It could all have beep raised on a turnip patch.
