And I would wrest back from the hands- of my eloquent friend the motto which he misappropriates in aid of free trade and apply it to the holy cause of American labor and home interests. [Applause. ] Here and now I beg to say to the protection members of that side of the House, ' ' United we stand, divided we fall, ' ' and our country falls with us. Acting on the principle of that motto we shall defeat this bill and continue the prosperity of our country. [Applause. ] I ask you to mark the simil...arity of conditions in 1833 and now. The country was prosperous then; it is prosperous now. After 20 per cent, reduction under that law was effected the ruin and all the evils which Mr. Clay predicted fell upon our unhappy country in 1837. You pro- pose now to break down the policy, beginning with the same reduction of 20 per cent. We have not had one year's test of the existing law; and you propose to sweep it away and introduce this conflicting and im- possible system of assessing one-fifth less duties.
