I ft the House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States, oh Wednesday, December 18,
1844, Mr lhnry D. Foster tf Pennsyl
raniu, made the following remarks on tiie
J3ill to repeal the duties on Railroad Iron.
177e (Congressional Globe, Vol 14, 2.d
Session, tLSth Congress, pp. 441 45:
Mr. Foster, after adverting to the unex
pected and hasty manner in which the bill bad
been brought forward, and remarking that
Pennsylvania had been accustomed to consid
er the tauff question as one to be treated on
general principles, proceeded to express his
regret, that his colleague Mr. E. J. Morris!
had alluded to tue recent canvass in Penn
sylvania as he bad done. As a member of
this House from Pennsylvania, as a native of
Pennsylvania, he it-It proud of that great
State, and be would not allow himself, here
or elsewhere, as his colleague had done, to
charge the people of Pennsylvania with acting
under false or fraudulent motives on the sub
ject of the tariff. If the Whig party had
carried the State Mr. F esteemed that party
so hiohly, that, before the National Legisla
ture, Le would not have been found making
tuch a tLarge. He knew the manner in
which the canvass had been conducted; and
when the geutleman came to speak of it as it
had been carried on in bis (Mr. F's.) county,
aud to declare that the people had acted un
der such influences, he bad mistaken theui
altogether; they had acted under do delusion.
The tariff (lUisstioo was the one which, in the
late canvass in Penult Ivauiu, had deeply agi
tated the public miud They had been told
by their Whig friends there, and generally
throughout the country, that by the election
of Mr. Polk the iron and coal interests of
Pennsylvania were to be trodden dowu; but
he had declared to them that the profession
that the Whig party were the only friends to
the protection of the iron iuterests of , Penn
sylvania was hollow and unsound; that at the
list session of Congress, in the Senate of the
United States, the first blow' at the iron in
terest had sprung from a member of the Whig
party from Maine; aud although a distinguish
ed Senator from Georgia had made a pilgrim
age to Pennsylvania to tell the people of that
State that protection to that great interest
could only be looked for from the Whig party,
yet when they turned to the Journal of the
Senate, they found the vote of that Senator
recorded against the tariff of 1842. and hi,
vote recorded in favor of the bill of the geri
tlemau from Maine to reduce the duty on rail
road iron He had been mistaken when Le
told the people of his Slate that for a fair,
equitable, honorable adjustment of the tariff
system they must uot rely on the Whig party
alone? What did we see now? The first more
uient at the present session of Congress at
tacking the great interests of Pennsylvania,
did it come from the Democracy of the North,
the South, the East or the West? No; but
from a prominent Whig member of this House.
Now when his colleague undertook to say that
170.000 of the people of Pennsylvania had
been deluded, he told him that he did not
kaow that people. If the gentleman confined
his remarks to thn people ot his own district,
it was very probable that he might have some
personal reasons therefor. But the people of
Pennsylvania bad bad all the lights of the
people of the whole Union, a four-horse wa
gon would not hold all the documents thrown
into that one district bj Whig writers and
Whig orators.
But he was sorry, as he had observed, that
his colleague bad dragged before this assembly
any question of this kind; and he knew that
neither the gentleman nor any other man who
might have attempted it at the list election,
had been successful in misleading the people
upon the question of the tariff or any other.
The question of protection of the iron interest
of Pennsylvania, was one deeply felt by Penn
sylvania. It might not perhaps be known to
this House, that, ic Pennsylvania alone, there
was one establishment in the western part of
the State, where they could manufacture rail
road iron to the amount of between 80 to 100
tons per week. - Mr. F. also referred to one
or two other establishments which were man
ufacturing to a like extent. .
They bad been told by the gentleman from
South Carolina Mr. Holmes that Pennsyl
vania at one time introduced large quantities
of imported railroad iron. For ten years pri
or to 1841. railroad iron Lad been admitted
tree of duty. Then no railroad iron had been
manufactured in the Union; then no capital
bad been ju vested in this country in its man
ufacture. But let him tell the gentleman
from South Carolina that Pennsylvania when
she did import that railroad iron free of duty,
paid twelve dollars more per ton that she
could now manufacture it for. It had been
free of duty for ten years; foreigners then had
control of the whole market; domestic compe
tition there wasnone , Then she had paid
sixty dollars per ton for -railroad iron; and be
pledged himself here that her manufactures
were ready to contract now, where contracts
could be made, at forty-eight dollars per ton.
Mr. Holmes interposed, and .asked if bo
understood the gentleman to say that the T
railroad iron could now be obtained here in
auy quautity?
Mr. Fostkr replied in the afSroaative.
Mr. Foster continued. The establishments
in Pennsylvania and in Maryland were al
ready prepared to make large, contract for
the furnishing of railroad iron. But hr d not
the gentleman from South Carolina, who yes
terday bad defended this bill .with so much
warmth, told them that he was willing the
tariff should so be arranged as to yield mffi
cient revenue for the government, and that
all he asked, and many other gentlemen who
agreed with him, was to bring the tariff to s
reventj) pUadtrd? Wu he to uoderetaod the
gentleman from South Carolina now that he
wished railroad iron to come in free of duty?
Was that the revenue standard wbieh the gen
tleman from South Carolina, and those who
acted with him. were disposed to make? He
was glad that the gentleman from South Car
olina had thus early given them information
as to the course he intended to pursue as to
the question of the tariff. The gentleman
went fer a revenue standard of cuties: would
the gentleman tell him hov much railroad
iron it would be necessary to import under
the provisions of this bill, to raise revenue
sufficient for government? To morrow tbe
gentleman mizht tell bis friend from New En
gland that the rcveoue standard" upon wool
en and cotton goods amounted to the came as
it did in the gentleman's action on iron; and
be mibt make a similar declaration to gen
tlemen from New York, and from other States
engaged in tho manufacture of salt, iron,
wool, cotton, and sugar. Although the gen
tleman professed to be in favor of a "revenue
duty," Le (Mr. should tell the people of
his State, at least, that the gentleman, by his
action, was in favor of having foreign Iron
come in duty free.
All that Pennsylvania asked was a fair,
honest settlement of this great question; she
wanted it adjusted in some manner to give se
curity to her citizens. She bad always main
tained the doctriue that the majority were to
rule, and that their laws were to bo submitted
to From 1333 to 1S42 a period during
which all her industrial pursuits had beeu
stritkei down by tha operation of the com
promise act no arm ha i btsen raised there iu
defiance of the authority of this government;
but daily and hourly they saw the whde of
th.'so inf. ri'sfi rtiin.r to decav and destruction
e- 1- J j
aud tb-'y waited until the appeal made to the
. - . '. .r .t. .
patriotism ana gooa sense ot . iuc aiucncsu
people prevailed iu the passage of the tariff of
1842. under which all her interests were be
ginning to" revive and look up. She now oc
cupied the same position she had occupied be
fore the passage of the compromise act of
1833. The principle of tho tariff of 1S42,
as far as related to the manufacture of iron,
of any description, or of every description,
was not too high.
lie would state it as a reproach to the A
mcricau character, that, in his own State, for
eign railroad iron has been laid down within
k't 'nr-hf of iha finest beds of iron in the
world. Such iron abounded in Pennsylvania, j
... ... 1 X . .1 I
.Missouri, ienncssee. ana aew oersei, uu j
yet foreign railroad iron had hitherto been .
imported, and laid down on all our railroad..
He wanted to see the time arrive when, by j
the gerfection of machinery, by the iucreasod j
skill, and ty the increased capital of Pcnn-
srlvanls.. thev would be able to successfully j
J : : J. . ... . . - i
compete with loreigners wunout any protec
tion at all. He kuew that the time would
come, but he would tll gentlemen from the
South that it never would arrive unless ade
quate protictiou was given to our great inter
ests in the beginning. To show tbe benefi
cial effects of protection, he would mention
that in 183S. '39. aud '40. when railroad
iron was brought in free of duty, and when it
was imported largely in all the States, it rose
up 50 aud CO per cent; but now, since the
tariff of 1840, it can be bought 12 per cent,
cheaper than it was in 183S, '39, and '40.
He was really sorry to see his friend from
South Caroliua Mr. Holmes fall into the
arms of coalitiou which he believed had
already begun between some of the gentle
men ot the South aud of New England; but
let hiui tell the New England gentlemen,
that if they deserted Pennsylvania, an 1 threw
themselves into tii arms of tbe geutleman
from South Carolina, they mast not expect
the aid of the former when their own interests
an in dauger. Peuusylvauia voted for and
with them iu tbe protection of thvir cotton and
woollen manufactures; and he would ask them
who it was that passed the tariff of 1S42, by
which such ample protection wa3 afforded to
the important interests of New England?
When let him ask the gentleman of New
England did Pennsylvania ever falter on the
question of protecting domestic industry?
Why then, when an attempt was made to
strike down at one blow her most important
and vital interests, should it be countenanced
by those to whom Pennsylvania had always
given her support? Why was it, when Penn
sylvania was alone singled out from all the
other States, and her, interests set up as a
mark to be shot at, that he found some of his
friends from New England joining in the at
tack? If they were disposed to desert Penn
sylvania now, let them not hereafter say.
whatever thj action of Pennsylvania may be
in regard to a tariff, that she has deserted
them. If the majority of that House thought
the duty on railroad iron, or any kind of iron,
was too high, why. let it be reduced in a
general bill: but wneu they were asked to
strike down this important interest, not for the
sake of the farscr, or the mechanic, but f jr
the sake of largo corporations, then he hoped
they would cause and consider whether they
would be consulting the interest of the couu
try by adopting the measure. He was glad
that thus early in the session a prominent
member of the Whig party bad brought for
ward a measure that would show the people
bow far they were willing to protect their in
terests, while they would exempt from taxa
tion wealthy incorporated companies, and im
pose its burdens on the industry of the coun
try. He wanted to know, aud Pennsylvania
wanted to know. If there was a disposition in
that House to strike down her most important
- . i.:l'.k Intupacia nf ntbpr nortious
interests. uu iu iuivcm -
of- the Uuion were left untouched; and he
wanted the vote oo this bill to aeciae mai
question. As h observed before, he trusted
there was no disposition in any part of the
Hou3e to sanction a measure such as this
Had ib introducers- of this measure given, or
could they give, any reason why lailroadiroo
should cottte io free of dutv, n preference to
cottou or woolen good,? Had they given any
reason why it should come ia free in prefer
ence to ottoo baggiog? He knew that he
might listen iu vain fir &Dy good reason that
could bo riven for the pasage of this bill. It
might be that this question would come np in
a general bill while he wa a member of the
House, and then he would be ready to meet
it on its merits; but if the tariff was to be at
tacked in this manner in detail, according to
what the gentleman from South Carolina
Mr. Holmes avows as his cherished policy,
where would it end? To-day the attack was
on railroad iron, an! next week the aault
might be on woollen or cotton goods Then
salt..acd next the 6Ugar of Louisiana and I-ad
of Missouri would be'attacked in dt tail. He
was not in favor of poiog behind th buihrs
and attacking tbe tariff in detail. If it could
not be sustained as a system, why, le". it go
down; and if that policy which the country
had cherished above all others could not be
sustained in all its parts, he was for letting ii
all fall together.
On tiie second of July. 1S4C, during Ote dis
cussion ,f the Tariff 1UU, Mr Foster of

X"-?rThe New York Courier and Enquirer
startles its Republican readers by citing a
signal instance of Mr. Lincoln's honesty. In
a word or two, it s cms that Mr. Lincoln,
who was a Postmaster in a little town in III
in. i, while Mr. Barry was Postmaster Gen
eral, resigned Lis small C'ffice, retaining in his
haods about two hundred dollars of Govern
ment funds. Owing this money he ought to
have promptly paid it up when Le resigned,
but he kept it.
uLen Mr. Kendall becjme Postrtas'er
General, be "drew on Mr. Lincoln f-r the
amount standing; against him on the books of
the Department." Wonderful to tell Mr.
Lincoln honored the draft and paid tha mon
ey. He paid two hundred dollars which he
ought to have paid before, and the argument
is that for paying this money he onght to be
mads President ,
XThe Black Republican party claim the
support of Prot clive Tariff men on tho
ground that their candidates are in favor of
the principles of protection. They have in
deed adopted as one of their mottoes, "Pro
tection to American Indutry." Now, if Mr.
Lincoln is a Protective Tariff taan, where is
the evidence of ii? Let it be produced. Aa
for Mr. Hamlin, be is universally known as a
free trader. This is a trick cf the ecemy to
deceive the unwary and ignorant.
