The payment of the do ty is evaded by the introduction of the foreign fahrir, under the name of burlaps, or some other metcamiln phrase., and in stead of paying five cents (he square yard, it is entered with a duly of only fifteen percent, ml valorem.

That the importations of tho past year have been excessive I boheve is generally.confessed, and is demonstrated by two unerring facts. Tile first is, that the imports have exceeded the exports by about seventeen millions o! dollars.— VVhatevor may be the qualification* to which the theory of the balance ot trade may be liable, it may be safely wffirniod, that when llio aggregate of tho importa tions from all foreign countries exceeds thh aggregate ol the exportations to all foreign countries console ubly, the unfa vorable balance mint be made up hy n course of trade, and secure the faithful execution of the laws. No time could he more suitable than that at Which it is con templated to make a great reduction ol the public revenue. Two radical changes have presented themselves 10- my mind, and w hich I will now suggest (tfr Consider ation and investigation. On, such a Sub ject, 1 would, however, seek from the met cant lie community ami practical men, ull the light which they nre so capable of affording, and should he reluctant to net on my own convictions, however strong. The first is to make n total change in I remittance nl the precious uteials 10 some the place of valuation. Now tho valua non is made in foreign countries. We fx the duties, and we leave to foreigners to assess the value of articles paying at) valorem dutius. That is, we presetibn the rule, and leave its execution to the foreign er. This is an anomaly, I believe, pecu liar to this country. 11 is eyi pm that the uoiqnnt of dtlfv payable on a given article snhjec to an ;td valorem duty, may he nf- fec eh us much by tliq fixation of tho val ue, as by the apcrificutuiu of llir. duty.— And, lot all practical pm poses, it would be just as sgfn to retain 10 ourselves the ascertainment of the value, and leave to llio loreigtc.Moprescibe the duty, ns it is to rcservo to ourselves tho right to rio- clure llio duty and allow to him the pri vilege to assess the value. extent. Aceoidiwtly we find the exis- 'core ot tlie other fact to which I ntlude, the high ptico of bills of exchange on England. It is, therefore,.;fairly tube anticipated that the duties accruing this year will he Jess in amount than those ol the nasi year. And I lit,tilt it would be uuivicu to rely upon our present infoinm- tiou as to the income of either of those two yents as furnishing n Mile guide for the: In Mite. The years 1829 end 1830 will supply a surer critpiion. Tlteie is a rcniaikablr coincidence it; tlie amount of tlm receipts of the ^Treasury during (huso two yeais, u 1 ving been the first from all souicps $24,827,027 38, nd the second $24,844,116 51, dsffe. :|ig only n- bout $17,000 •The mode recommended hy the Sccre- * I canto here, sir, most anxiously desir ing that an at rangCntcm ofthe Public Rc- venn# should be made, which, without sacrificing any of tlm great interests of the country, would reconcile nnd satisfy all its parts. I thought I perceived in the class of object* not produced within the coun try, a fii-hi ou which we could ell enter, in a true and genuine spirit of compromise anil harmony, and agree upon on 11m ten hie adjustment. Why should it not be done! Why should those wlioare opposed to the American System demand of its friends an unconditional surrender? Our common object •should he so to reduce the public revenue ai to relieve the burthens of the people, ifiadeed tho people of this coun try can lie truly said to bn burtbeued. Tire Government *w»t have a .certain amount maintain tho protecting system, m all its unmitigated rigor, thus aggravating, instead of diminishing the inequality and injustice of which we so strongly and so justly com plained. The geuilcmnn had, indeed, said that the propriety of some reduction might, pet haps, hereafter be considered; not now however, when the debt was a- limit to bo paid, and the tariff re-adjusted and fixed on a' permanent basis, but at some future and “ more convenient sen- sou.” But what hope is to be built on this declaration, when the gentleman, in the very same breath, tells us that 110 con siderable or sudden reduction could ever take place. No, that would he destruc tion; and as to the gradual and moderate reduction recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, that would beoven worse than the other—it would, said the gemlo- innn, be a slow and sure poison, leading to inevitable destruction. It follows, then, clearly, that we are to have no reduction ofthe protecting duties whatever, neither now, or at,atly future period, fn this view of the question, he must topertt, he consid ered it the most awfully momentous sub ject that had aver linen presented in tho course of the liistofy of tilts Government; and believing that it required the groat est deliberation, ho wished the attention of tlw Semite 10 lie seriously called to il, that it might he maturely considered, and wisely decided, in the presence of this august body, mid before his God, he would repeat his deep conviction that the consequences to grow Out of The effect of this virions condition of • tarv for the modification of tho Tariff is the law has been to throw almost lit' 1 j to reduce no part of the duties on (lie un- • hob'import trade of the country, ns to protected articles, prior to March 1883, some important articles, into the hands’ of >hn foreigner.
