Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tariff: Speech of Hon. Chauncey M. Depew of New York, in the Senate of the United States, Monday, May 17, 1909
Robert J. Walker lived and was educated in a part of our country whose almost sole product was cotton. Its people manufactured nothing. They even relied upon outside terri tory for their food and clothes. The practical question with him was the cheapest products in clothing, food, machinery, and all the necessities of life for a people engaged in one form of agriculture. But it was more than that which created Robert J. Walker. If we read the speeches of the southern statesmen Of his Period, we find in them a wealth of learning in the classics of English literature and a complete absorption in the theories of Adam Smith. Many of them were educated.
