Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. J. H. Reagan, of Texas: In the Senate of the United States, Thursday, January 5, 1888
I do not wish to see the American people' Surrender that sturdy self reliance which has characterized them from the first settlement of the American colonies to the present time, nor to see them demoralized and degraded by any system of su'bventions from the Government which would deprive them of the independent and resolute purpose to take care of themselves without pecuniary aid from the Federal Govern ment.
