Do you now understand, gentlemen, by what motive I say that once at home in command--if once our struggle is commenced, I do not want your material aid, and neither wish nor would accept all your millions--but that I want your material aid to get home, and to get home _in such a way_ as will inspire confidence in my people, by seeing me bring home the only thing which it has not--ARMS! But I am asked, where will I land? That, of course, I will not say--perhaps directly at Vienna, like a Montgolfier, in a balloon; but one thing I may say, because that is no secret:--remember that all Italy is a sea-coast, and that Italy has the same enemy as Hungary--that Italy is the left wing of that army of which Hungary is the right wing, and that in Italy 40,000 Hungarian soldiers exist, as also, in general, in the Austrian army 140,000 Hungarians. More I can, and will not say on the subject. But I will say that all the amount of taxation the people of Hungary formerly had to pay was but four and a half million dollars, and now it has to pay sixty-five million dollars; that landowners offer their land to the government, to get rid of the land tax, which is larger than all the revenue; that we have raised 600,000 hundredweight of tobacco--now, the monopoly of tobacco being introduced, the people no longer smokes and has burnt its tobacco seed. We have raised 120 million gallons of wine. Gentlemen, I come not to interfere with the domestic concerns of America. I have no opinion about the Maine liquor-law. For myself I am very fond of water, but still may say it is my opinion, it will be many years before the Maine liquor-law will pass through all Europe. Well, gentlemen, I was about to say, one half of the vineyards are cut down;--hundreds of thousands live upon horticulture and fruit cultivation; yet the trees are cut down to escape the heavy taxation laid upon them. The stamp tax is introduced, the most insupportable to freemen--village is divided from village, town from town, city from city, by custom-lines--the poor peasant woman, bringing a dozen of eggs to the market, has to pay the consumption-tax, before she is permitted to enter; and when she brings medicine home for her sick child she has again to pay before permitted to enter her home.
