Kelley Speech in Congress on Tariffs and King Cotton
The address delivered in Corsicana Texas argues against free trade and warns that tariff repeal would destroy industrial progress. It defends protection, cites census data to show manufacturing growth, and condemns the abolitionist shift as a relic of slavery era policy. The speaker presses for sugar and textile sectors to diversify agriculture and maintain duties to shield northern and southern workers.
