1. What is the position of each speaker?
Find a quotation that illustrates that position.

Clark advocates moderating the proposed increase in the tariff on iron.   “What is that object [of the tariff], sir? …"  (724)

Tod replies to Clark. (p. 725)
“dismayed as I am at the time and manner of his renewing this discussion, I am still more dismayed at his arguments.” (725)

Hamilton remarked on the “...general principles of the bill, which he reprehended” (726)

“[Webster] ... had … exhausted the topic … he [Mr. H] participated in the pleasure which all had enjoyed, in hearing the unanswerable argument of [Webster] (an argument that had scarcely left the honorable Speaker [Mr. Clay] an inch of ground to stand upon, notwithstanding the vigor and elasticity of his [Mr. C’s] genius)….”

2. Read and understand:
“…if Adam Smith could have risen from his grave...” (727)
“…there are a few salutary truths…” (bottom of 727)
“…if there is any truth which appears to be sustained...”  (728)
“…as clear and emphatic as Mr. [Alexander] Hamilton was…” (728)
