Words Spent on the Tariff

If an internal revenue were laid upon the number of words which Congressmen used over the tariff question there probably would be less of a deficit in the national exchequer. On the tariff debate alone, in one week, more than 600,000 words were printed in the Congressional Record. This is a hundred thousand more than has ever been printed so far as is known, in one week on one subject.
