This portion \\ of the speech concerns Clay's tariff policies. \\ "[Now, eight years after the tariff of 1824], we behold cultivation extended, the arts flourishing, the face of the \\ country improved, our people fully and profitably employed . . . our cities expanded, and whole viliages springing up. . \\ . ; our exports and imports increased and increasing; our tonnage, foreign and coastwise, swelling and fully occupied. . \\ . This transformation of the condition of the country from gloom and distress to brightness and prosperity, has been \\ mainly the work of American legislation, fostering American industry, instead of allowing it to be controlled by foreign \\ legislation." \\ Document A: In the 19th century, many Americans opposed increased government regulation (control) of the \\ economy.
