Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. William Allen, of Ohio, in Answer to Mr. Webster, on the Proposition of Mr. Crittenden to Distribute the Proceeds of the Sales of the Public Lands to the States, Submitted as an Amendment to the Pre-Emption Bill, Then Under Consideration: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, January 25, 1841 If, Mr. President, a British minister were, upon this floor, to propos'e measures for our adoption - Ameasures most beneficial to his Own country and ruinous to ours - he would, I presume, in the first place, advise this Government to mortgage its whole domain to the bankers of England, in security for the debts of the States. Next, he would insist that the five millions of dollars, now annually brought to the Treasury from the sale of this domain, should be paid to those bankers through the agency of the States - they being constituted thus British factors to receive and to remit the amount. To supply the consequent deficiency in the national income, he would further recommend the imposition of a new tax, equivalent to that sum, upon the American people, and particularly upon those of the south and west. Then, would he advise that this additional burden should be levied as a duty upon the silks and wines received by us from France, in exchange for our cotton, and upon this latter would he more especially insist, because the imposition of such a duty would inevitably divert our whole trade in cotton from that country to Englahd; and, by giving a monopoly to her of this great product of our soil, comprehending, as it. Does, one half of our entire exports, enable the English purchaser to fix his own prices upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
