S., h MAT 2 7TH. 1846. , ' tl Mr. STEWART rose, in reply to Mr. PATNE, a and said that, reluctant es he was to say another i t word upon the tariff, he could not permit the re- or marks of the gentlemen ffrom.Alabama, to pass i i unnoticed. After the.vielent asiaultmade by that 1 1 gentlemen on - the Tariff and the "National Fair," i i the paternity. Of which the gentlemah attributed c to him, he could' not resist the appeals of his - friends to say something. in 'their defence and vita- a dication. He thanked the gentleman, however, c for one thing ; that whilst he debouneed the •Ne- f tional Fair' as a humbug, he bad not included the ti fair ladieS who graced it by-Their presence, or the 1 beautiful Facthry girls, whose modesty and intel- ;`:. I limt.; i he . was sure, could not have failed to ex- tort a smile of approbation, and a wend of con- a F mendatien, too; even from the gentleman from v , : ' Alabama himself. In the remits it was now his purpose to make,he , would confine himself strictly : to a reply to the arguments and observations made it by the gentleman from Alabama ; . [Mr. Nina] 0 , And he availed himself of this opportunity of re. f i ply the more readily, because it had been given h' out by gentlemen here, who where authorized to ti speak.'on that subject,-that'as soon as the House ti should have gone through with the appropriation - a bills, the bill for theiepeal of the Tariff would be 1 taken up wadi passed without debate, under the ti previous question, and by the force of appeals to i party, Mr. S., did not say that such would be the case ;- buil, anticipating the possibility of a : course so unfair awl 'discreditable, from what had , occurred on other occasions,heahould 'embrace the -' present opporThniiy to reply to the'aiguments [if argumentsthey might be called] which had been employed by the gentleman 1 from ;Alabama— . That gentleman had repeatedthe Southern stereo typed free-trade doctrines urged uponall occasions against the protective, policy by- gentlemen from that quarter. ! - V The gentleman had opened his speech by the usual appeals to party. He had treated this as a . party questiom; in proof of which . he had quoted the Baltimore Convention r and reminding 'those ' of his oWn , party that •a reduCtion of the 'Tariff I had there beeniesolved upon,he called upon them - to redeem their-pledges-by carrying out this party II& ktion. . • [Mr. PATNE here interposed to explain, and the' floor having been yielded him for that ptirpose, went on to say, that he disclafined totally having' appealed to the Baltimore Coovention, unto the resolutions There adopted, as controlling the action of .this House. What lie had said was this: 'How far a - Convention, 'called for one 'purpose. and acting, upon another, ought to centrel the ac tion of a deliberative Marty, was a question he would not discusi ; bilt that, then a convention did approve certain doctrioes, and those . doctrines were afterwards taken 'before -the people, and,the elections of the country n.ade to torn upon tarn, the Representatives who had been elected under such circumstances were bound to carry out the pledges Thus given.'] -. Mr. Srsaysive. Very well: , oho gentleman now said, in subitance, that the Democratic party had pledged themselves to repeal the Tariff of 1842; and that nine.tenths of the Democratic mem bers of this House would stand to their pledge.= We shall see. . . Let the gentleman ask my Demo cratic colleagues, how this is. ' They will tell him that the only diipute in Pennsylvania at the last Presidential election- w a s, whether the Democrats or Whigs were the strongest Tariff 'party. Ahd they will tell the gentleman another ; thing, that if he were to fling ..his 'free trade' banner to the breeze, arid march through that gond stnd glorious old Commonwealth., with his drum-Major, Father,: Ritchie, of the Union, and the whole tribe of little free trade fiddlers and lifers at his heels, ho could nut get a corporal's!guard to follow him. Mr. S. regretted , that gentlemen 'should make. . these appeals to party,. This was no party ques tiok: it Was a great 'American question, whose intrinsic. importance •soared far above and beyond :the reach of ail mete party interestsand party con siderations. V lay 1 :hould gentlemen indulge in these party appeal on a great national question like this ? Were they afraid to discuss it on its -own intrinsic independent ' merits ?. Could that be the reason that they made these appeals to the poor, pitiful, ri‘altry and grovelling interests of par ty politics ? Was this a time or an occasion for such appeals? NO. Let the policy of protecting our national industry be discussed on great and broad American principles.: It ought to be and __it-Would-be so treated by every man who had a true American heart to his bosom.., • . [Here an attempt was mde to interrupt Mr. S. by questions, but he -refuse to yield the floor.] • Gentlemen would,. he : h ped, have a full oppor.' c,l tunity to answer alfin,go . time; Let them take notes of the argumedlaThel gave therwand when they had ' heard him throPgh, answer him; and show that he was in error, if ,they could. Ire pie time for the investigation would be afforded before the corning hp of-the Tariff Bill, and he invited gentlemen to the task. But the gentle r man's appeal had been made nett° season,' not to facts; but to party feeling and party pledges.H Such appeals had been re atedly made both in this House and in the Gov rnment'organ. - In the 'latter, these.appeats were Imostdiily 'made to the p Democratic party in at ouse, as such to come up to the rescue and sa e themselves 'from the, deep disgrace that would fullovv•a failine.to repeal the 'tariff. Mr. S. admitted that, in one impair tant aspeet f ,This was a -party . question ; but who' were the par4i; 7 Americans on the One side and ' the British on the other American. labor against the pauper labor of Euro e. These werethe real and only , parties in this gr at contest for the'kmer l'ican market—Americans gainst foreigners: and the truc,and practiealques ion for every gentleman to decide; each for hims lf, was, - which „ . side he 1 - 11 would take—the America, side or the Bri tish side: That - was . the question. He trusted gentlemen would decide in favor of their own Cohntry—in ' . favor of their own farmers, mechanics and labor ing.men—that they would protect their own labor employed in the conversion of our own aericultu- tat product; into articles Or use, instead of impor ting them from abroad ; 'for it was demonstrable that more than one-half of the hundred millions of dollars annually sent abroad to' purchase for eign goods were sent to pay for foreign - agricultural produce ivorked up into goods by labor emp'ojed and fed in foreign countries, instead of our own: This was the anti-American policy now advocated by the gentleman and his friends upon-this floot. This he' affirmed fearlessly, and challenged gen tlemen to controvert it if they could. - The gentleman from Alabama next spoke in a very disparaging manner of the .National Fair, which was now being holden in this city for the' display pf the ingenuity and talent, industry, eh-, terprise and skill of the people of our own conk ! try. The gentleman, in the face of an American House of Representatives, spoke with contempt of such a display. Had the gentleman been-to see it? He spoke as if .from infatmation-only. Had -be seen this Splendid fair for himself 1 If he bad, and would but give'fair play to his own good sense and goad feelings, Mr. S. was very sure-that' such a spectacle must have'filled his •Americatx heart, if he had one—and he'did not . doubt it— witti exultation end delight. SUch a collection was weU fitted to he the boast and glory of the country. Who that -had a heart within him to feet for the honor; the independence, the strength, and the prosperity of his country; could look' on' such a spectaeln,and not feel all his national pride called froth by the display I The -gentleman talked' about the 'lords of the spindle;' but wait it they alone who were repro 0 BANNAN, AGENT FOR THE PROPRIETOR; POTTSVILLE, SCHUYLKILE I COUNTY, PA. i 1 ill T------------ inten that fowl Far from it.

Let the gentleman go to the me la icy of this country, and leti r him, if he thought p udent, tell that great interest that the fruits of le industry, invention and enterprise were all h mbug. If he did, Mr. S. I . eared greatly that he might consider the gentleman a humbug bun ;el Was that the gentleman's doctrine, that the in rest of the mechanic arts and the interests of 1 - , erican agriculture were a humbug?' Would gentleman tell our farmera that that was demo., ,is doctrine 1 Mr.. 8.. fancied not. here was a gentleman from England with imens of British goods, now occupying the io mittee-room over which you, Mr. Chairman, .

' Far from it ! The British agent had been hero fur months past. He. had conducted member after member to his' display of British 1 fabrics, and gentlemen of this House, and the gen tleman from Alabama himself, had gone there and _contemplated; he supposed, with infinite satisfac tion, these Products of foieign industry. For what had they beeit: brought there ? For what purpose, to what end,'had a foreign agent been-ac= commodated with an apartment to a house appro priated to AMencan legislafon, in the very Cat& toritselfJ ll'or what, hut ezpressly fox the pur pose of swaying and biasing and controlling the 'oft that House on - . the 'Tariff ? This the gentlemln had denounced' in terms of the _highest indignation, when thelpioducts were the works.ofAnerican hands, and the fruits of Amer ican capital and skill, and when they were exhibi ted, not in a committe room of that House, but in a building erected by the manufacturers themselves. at their own cast, and whither they had .invited their fellow citizens to assemble from every,part of the land. It was ,all wrong that'this should be dune by Ainericans,.but all perfectly right whets it was done 65 , 1 an agent of the British -manufactu rers. , The gentleman .could gaze wita infinite gratification On a committee room filled with for- i eign fabrics, tout turned with•disgust from a buil- I. ding put up by American hands, and filled with e. the splendid and varied fruits of American ingenu- et ity and skill. 1 his was a humbug, compared by si the official paper to a 'menagerie,' a 'bagatelle,' g and all thoseglorious and beautiful proofs 'of The b inventive powers of our countrynien were i con- S temptibli hlmbugs, the fruits of sordid interest, • E the devices f avarice and cupidity. He envied r: no man such, feelings—they were not American— 'hi they could find no place in an American heart.— m But this was a matter of taste : he went to the it American, other gentlemen to the British fair ; n a mere difference in taste. But (Mr. S., said)' he 1.1 had seen, in.the last hour, with emotions which: , betould not describe; a colle • Ction of a thousand (a voice, 'three .thousand,') American children' brought . to look upon this sight, and team in their , tender years, , to lave their own country better than any foreign land. Arming these were doubtless many of the • future mechanics and manufacturers, and not a few of the future legislators of our coun try. He 'rejoiced that they had learned-a better lesson than M prefer the prosperity of foreigners to that of their own parents, brothera and coun trymen. It 'the gentleman would stepto the win dow behind him, he could behold thoe beautiful children onl,their march to the Cafitol. Was -this American sight offensive to the gentleman ? Would he destroy -these . American products also, "and importitherri from abroad I (Great :tnefri- I merit.) He hoped not. But he bad done, with 1 the fair ; and he now. turned to consider somelof 1 the arguments which had been adduced by the ~gentleman fiom Alabama, for whom he_cherished 1 a high personal respect, who was doubtless actua ted .

Mr. Shad mentioned the article of col 7 ton, because it afforded a striking illustration of the general doctrine, sheaving! that the minimum.... the highest 'prOtective duties, had produCed the greatest.reduction of prices.. ; But` the same thing was true, 4,a greater or less extent, with respect to every protected article in 'the entire fist. Mr. S. stated incontrovertible matters of fact. He challengedliOntradiction,le courted investigation —be defied gentlemen to disprove an atom of what he had tislerted., And, to put this truth in the strongest light, he repeated that the' highest 'end most obnoiious duties,-4hose abhoned minimums, i against which'gentlemen had wasted Such furious denunciations, presented precisely itie very. cases where the reduction of price had been the great est. ThoSe Julies, it is said, now amounted to. - two and three hundred per cent. ad tia/ortro.- 1 And why 'I . Because they were fixed specific du i ties. They remained stationary, however prices I might change; and, of course, as the price went , down, tho duty bore a larger and still larger pro -1 I portion to it. At first the duty was, say, half the price of the article; as the price declined, the duty Ibecame equal to the price, then it ht.iame greater than the !price r ; then double tho price; and at length, treble; and thea gentlemen exclaimed in bor. -ror, 'What an abominable duty I It is three bun shed per cent. on the total value of the article ! SATURDAY MIORNING, JULY What horrible•prcifits! How the duty mtlst raise the price!' when, all the while, the duty remained the same, and its •ffect bad been, not to increase, but to bring dowel the,price just three hunted per cent—tram 30. cuts down to 73 ce ts per yard, and this was rubbery and plunder! And still the gentleman said it was an absurdity, which no man could swallow, to soy that the higher the protective duty the lower the price. Now, .Mr. S. would venture to say that if the duty len iron and ha . manufactures were increased toperrow five hundred per sent., the rapid . rush of capital' into that business end the vast increaseuf supply would be such, and the consequent redaction of price so great that the United States wntild soon supply the world With iron, its capacity fu l l- its pro duction being unlimited. , He 'had statkil facts, showing that high duties had produced IoW priced. Can the gentleman deny them! There they stand I on impregnable •feundations, firm as the bills!— Let the gentleman anti .his friends disprove them 1 as they can. Thkt such is the practical operation of the is . fully established by the fact, that whilst manufacturers'i f various kitids had declined to one-fourth of kheir former price, agricultural produce and the !wages of labor had - underwent' . little or no reduction, owing to the constantly in creasing home demand for bath, resulting from the protective policy. i But he. wished to he understood; correctly.—' l "Mr. jS. did not! say that the effect -of all !du ties Was to diminish prices; en the.. contrary". he .1 did not deny that!it was the effect 4,some duties'l to inereasepricesJ But 'what he Said was this:' I that duties levied 'en articles we could make, to the i ester t of our ow ( 1 . n want, end with a view to pro- : test ur own man iffaCterers, did in all caseyperate ' 1 in th end to' Ipwer prices, by increasing capital, 1 conattition,.and 'Supply.

NV hdt one protect ed article, the product of American j skill and in-, du.try, had been increased in price; after the duties, however high, had. been first , impksed for its pro-, tection 1 Mr. S.lchallenged the gentleman and all his frOnds to point to nine. •Nume the article—a - pin or a needle. The gentleinari had not; he could nut du it. ' And 'yet hestood up in the face of the country and the World, and azivanced the position that protective (lanes always increased . prices.— Mr - . S. made his appeal to facts. Let the gentle man meet him with facts. He could not; he dealt altogether in assertions against facts. Now if, as Mr. S. had. pruved, protective duties had not in crerseld, but•redui•ed price, what became of all this clamor about high priers, robbery, oppressive, anti plunder! It vanished into . thin air; it 'had not foundation to l stand on, and the gentleman and hisfollowers were bound by (heir own principles to go for the protective policy, which reduced the price, of manutbetmed . goods by increasing the supply; whilst, on the ether hand, it increased the price - by increasing'the -demand for agricultural produce, and enhancedthe w . ges of labor by in creasing its employment.' But But the gentleman had alsosaid„that while the tariff was oppressive on the ! interests of sericul ture and of labor,, it was_ highly beneficial to in vested capital, to therieli•monepolists, the lords of the loom. Now, Mr. S. said that just the reverse of this was true. While protection benefited both agriculture and labor, it yeas but a small ad vantage, if any, iu vested capital. The. gentle man and his friends, without knowing it., were in fact doing more for the benefit of rested capital. by keeping up this agitation and opposition to the tariff, and thereby' establishing a monopoly by checking competition, than all tho tariffl men in that 'House put'tegether. In the case Of vested capital the tariff had done its work; it ftad built the manufactories up ; it had introduced a npreved machinery and increased skill; it had done all that fixed capital required. Vested capital . . ! t•as now on its feet—it could get along without help,-- They had exported during the last year between four and five millions of dollars worth of cotton cloth; 'they had beaten the British . outl of their own markets. The great manufacturers lei these goods feared no foreign'competition ; they had over come that. All that they now faired was Ameri can competition at home. Thep rotective tariff raised against them that very competition. While advo cating. therefore the continuance of ou existing tariff, and resisting its reduction, Mr: S as. work ing in the most direct and efficient manner fur the interests of American labor—he w.a;,resisting-for sign; he,was going for the interests of the Areal= can farmers and the American laborers; and not for the interests of large vested capital ; i he went to destroy existing monopoly, by increasing invest ments and competition—the only'thing that could destroy'it. It was the gentleman, and those who acted with him, by keeping up this tariff agitation -it was, they - who were aiding capital. This agi tation operated to check new investmcrts, and of course to promote and secure Monopoly. Those who were contemplating the investment, of new cepitatlYould defer it. One would say to anoth er ; ...Don't build a' new .mill or furnace now, the the tariffis going to be teduced.? Mr. S. knew this to be true. - He had heard of twelve large -companies who had intended to build furnaces in Pennsyliania this spring, but had suspended their purporie till they shoat see what Congress would do with the tariff at tlia present session.. Did this hurt those who already owned, manufacturing es. I tablishfrients 1 ;Certainly net; it was the very thing to aid them. This gave New England a mo nopoly; it secured in her hinds that which the people. of Pennsylvania, and the people. of the South most wanted. They wanted protection— New England could do withmit it. Virginia wanted it, North Carolina wanted it, so did South Carolina and Georgia, and all the West. • They wanted protection to build them up; in New Eng hind the tariff had done its work—it had fulfilled its office.. New 'England might now say to this Government, "Father, I am now 'of age; I am on My own feet; I can make my . . way through' the world ; . I have met John Bull and beat him ; I thank you very much for what you . have done fat me, and I will be a burden on you no lung .cr. ; now lake care of, the youngest branches of the family." 1 . .

How was it that Southern gentlemen could shut their eyes to the result of their own unwise poll. cy? Let them look how they stood, and then look at the North. . The North applied their shoulder, to the wheel; they went to work to better their cmilition; they husbanded their own resources; they employed and diversified their labor; they lived upon their own means; kept their money at home to reward their own industry, instead' 'of foolishly sefidiug, it abroad to purchase what they could. so well and so profitably supply at home..- But South Carolina and her Southern sisters would touch neither hammer noshuttle. They sent away their money to New lingland, or to old England. And what was, the consequence of these two opposite systems? south Carolina wee, poor and dependant, while Nev England was indepen dent and prosperous. South Carolina, when the I Federal ConstitutiOn was adopted, had five repre sentatives, North Carolina five, and. Virginia ten representatives on this floor They all cherished a deadly,.hmAility to every' thing connected with the manufactures, internal improvements, and pro gress of every kind. They denied to this Govern ment the power of self-prott etiun and self-improve ment; they went for , the stand-still, lie-down; go lo-sleep, let-us-alone, do-nothing policy; they had tried to live, on whip syllabub political ‘metaphy siCS and constitutional abstractions, until it had . nearly 'starved them to death,' while the Northern States bad wisely pursued the opposite policy; and what had been the effeat ,o 3 their relative prosper ity! New began with .six representatives-in that hall; now she had thirty-four. Pennsylvania be gan with eight, now she had twenty-four. Vir ginia, with North and South Carolina, had com menced with twenty 'representatives, and New York with six; now they nave, altngethdr, thirty, and New York alone has thirty-four. Such are the fruiti;' of the opposite systems of policy adopt ed by the North and the South. Judge the* tree, by its fruits. Will men never learn wisdom from experience I 'He would rejoice to see the South as prosperous and as happy' as the North. They had all the elements of wealth and prosperity in profusion around them—the raw materials and bread-stuffs, minerals, and water-power in abun dance running to waste. If they would allow trim to offer them advice, it would be to abandon an exploded and ruinous policy; follow the-example: of the North, and share in their prosperity. In -stead of coming here repining and . complaining that the North was rich and prosperous, making' forty or fifty percent. profit on their capital, whilstl the South realized hitt four or five, just turnrouncl, quit your four or five ner cent. profits, anago to work at forty or fifty. If the tariff was confined' to"the North, you might complain; but it was free. to all alike—North and South, East and West.— . Go to,the hammer and the loom, the furnace and the forge, and become Prosperacis in your turn. All these blessings aro within your "reach, if you will but reach forth your halide to grasp them they are offered freely to your acceptance. . - You enjoy great advantages. You' have not only all ---- . the advantages enjoyed by the North for Manufac turing, but ' you have superadded others; you sup ply the raw material, — and, .above all, yOu have labor without wages, perfectly available Ifor such purposes; the'hands of the young and pld, now useless for the field, might in factories,l becorhe highly profitablp and productive operatives.' Take hold, then, on the same industry which had made -New England great,and especially on thoSe branch es of it'which New England now could spare.— Then South Carolina would be speedily indepen dent both of New England and of all the world. She could no longer hop to eotn i pete with Texas and the rich lands of the SouThwfst in the produc tion of cotton. Iler worn•out fields mtis i t sink in a contest with the virgin soil of le new tates.=-. Then let her address herself to In nufactuees. The gentleman from Smith Carolina seemed tla observe with grief and en.ry that New'En l gland w . ts enjoy ingl'profits of from forty to fifty ter cent What. if she did? If she gavelhat to South lc.; arolina for,six cents per.yard which Carolina o ce could not get from abroad under Ihirt,Osnx, the question for Carolina to look at was; not what ew En. gland made, but what she charged. Th t gentle man wanted his State to 'go to old .England fur all she required. We were all to depend on Eu rope for our. manufactured articles. Foreign countries were to enjoy exclusively the profitable business yielding forty or llifty per cent. while we were all to turn farmers, and l join the gentleman in•vvorking, as he said for a 'profit Xof four. and five per cent., and again give old ' Eng -11 land twenty-five-Cents a yard for w af New Eng land now offered' them for six.

The saving-of labor and the increase of human pewer produced in this manner was almost incalculable. By its aid one feeble woman was enabled to accomplish niore in a day, than would pay for the productions of forty able.bodied, hard-handed men without it.. Did gentlemen desire,land was it their policy to let England enjoy all this benefit, and keep it her self as a monopoly ? It was this, and this alone that kept the British Government from Bankrupt cy. l 'Phis prolific source of wealth 'and power en abled the British people to stand up under a debt of four thousand millions of dollars, arid to pay tax's to the Government amounting to more than tW hundred and fifty millions ,every year. This wa the result of her illemense labor-saving machi nes .• Was it the policy of gentlemen to let Eng la'n have this' profitable: business of rrianufactu-r riii all to herself.? That seemed to be the policy l of t 'e Secretary of the Treasury. Indeed lie had two edit in his report to be his settled policy to bre k down the Manufarturers.of our - country, and der ve his revenue froM British and other foreign gee Is. His policy waS to increase revenue by in me sing importations ; l and, as he would reduce Ike average of ,dutieS to one-half, of course, to get the ame amount 'of revenue, we must double our: imports. This was Manifest and undeniable.— Owl presdnt imperil; amounted toone hundred millions; keariy out the -Secretary's plan we must raist tlivil'a.to two hundred millions. 7 Our exports Wei. alninit ' , one hmadt l ed millions, and of course oriel hunt* millions in specie would be required annbally tb - pay the ballet - ice. .The whole specie of tlfeeountry had never been estimated at more than eighty millions. How was his policy 'to work 1, How was he to make up this deficit? Not from the banks, for they woolo , be broken up Withinl the very first year of such system; and then what was 'Mr. Secretary going to do for his revenue ? • The duty on foreign iron, was now 75 per cent. He was for reducing it to 30 per cent. Tess than otudislf. We Must orcourse,limport 'more than double the amount foreign iron, and to tbat.extent'break up American supply. Now it was impossible to make our people double their consumption, and so the result must necessarily be to get them to take foreign goods where - they noW took domestic, thus reducing the demand, anti of coutse destroying the domestic supply to ' tha textent Was not all this plain? Could any man in his sense's deny it 1 And then besides . where was the secretary going to gel the money to pay for all the foreign goods 1 There' was the ru4 The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. BATLY) tallied abolit exporting potatoes to Ireland.

The Whole of our ex po A of breadstuffs to England Scotland. and Ire lan I amounted to less than $:24,000; less than on e fotirth of a million—less than could be fur nis ed 'by a. single Western county. Potatoes we e cheaper in Ireland than im the United States.- ) e the people are starving, because they had no pr tection against England, no money, no employ, me t. ' This was the effeet_cf -free trade" with England, and it was precisely the condition into wl ich "free trade" wits England would soon bring this country, if it were • adopted.' "Free bade" with England' reminded him of an anec dote of. an Irishmin, 'who, when complaining of starvation in Ireland. was asked whetherpotatoes w re not - % ery cheap 1 He answered, 'cheap! the 1., i i i rd love ye, they're but a saspence a bushel."— t. ow is it then you are starving'!"

[A laugh.] Such Were the fruits of exchanging . agricultural products for manufaceured:goods—the' prbducts Of manual labor • for the products of ma- Chinery—working"the hoe against the loom.— Stlch had been and always would be the result oP this miserable system of policy, whenever and wherever adopted. ' N4Next the gentlemaMcomplained of taxation.— hat tax did farmers and laborers . now pay the Uhited States ? Nothing. Many of them used pr i thing but domestics. They bought no foreign goods except tea and coffee, and they were free.= Tll l ousands and hundreds of thousands of our p ople don't pay a dollar a year into the National Treasury, and thousands not a cent. How would it be under a system of direct taxation? The burdens of the Federal Government would fall on fainters and laborers more heavily than the heavi eat State taxation. Under a system of direct tax the proportion of Pennsylvania would be three IP mt tons a year—more than double her present heavy State taxation. But all these burdens put together are nothing compared to - the taxes impo sed on us by the British.
