UIUM THE UNITEII STATES TEI.EGACH,
THE TARIFF.
We publish, to-day, the report of the
Secretary ofthc Treasury, with the ac
| company ing bill on the subject of the Ta-
The tluciinVent was long since cull
ed for, nnd has been long expected, and
will doubtless, be rend extensively.
V\ e have not time, nt present, to give
to the public ottr reflect ions on llie pro
-1 jeet proposed by the Secretary, nnd must
r confine ourselves to a few remarks on its
- leading features. The render will see
- that, on many of the important articles.
M specific duties are still retained, so that
it is dillieult to say, to what per cent, ad
r valorem, they would amount. On a
1 slight examination, however, wc would
• suppose the nvVrage duties on all heavy
s protceied articles, do not vary ninteriul
• ly from the tnrilfoi' 1M I. They, nt least,
. considerably oxceetl those of Ill'll.
The minimum principle is yielded as
to woollens, but retained as to certain tle
• scriptions t f eolton goods. Cash duties
• are substituted for credit, n gVcat and
iiintcrinl change in onr system of imposts
us established lixmi the ciimmciiceirieill.
of the Government, caleuhiled to add
• very considerably to the nominal rate of
ilnties, ns (INetl in tbe proposed project,
1 wo would suppose, not less than six per
I rent. Another new principle is the tax
upon mictions of one uml a half per cent
which must also he added to the iioinin- j
al duties. This feature involves ail h i I
portant principle, and to these wo may i
add another feature, involving pria. Spies !
and consequences, still inure Impurlut,/.
We menu the system of HOl'N’l IE!S to
I lie shipping interest, inserted under n pre
tence of drawback! These, with same
change ns to the amount of valuation,
constitute the peculiar features of the
plan. The hill is to go into operation on 1
llie fit! of Alarcb, ISdd, ami is pernitinenl
in its provisions, contemplating no fur
ther reductions.
On review ing its provisions, wo con
clude, on the whole, that the plan will .
not ho nnexeei table to the maim fact nr* 1
ing Intel est. ll makes some reductions, i
it is true, on the protected articles, but it
also contains new provisions, which can
not fail to lie highly acceptable to that
interest, to which, if we add the almost
entire exemption from duties of tho un
prot ehd, mill which nets ns a bounty, to
that extent, to the prohcled articles, the
manufacturing interest would be in a
sitiititihn cet t.iinly not less desirable (ban
the present. We do not think flint the
project will he equally acceptable to the
grert opposing nntl tax paying interest of
tlte country, judging from till the indica
-1 tions which we see in that quarter. Air.
Kiehie himself, who certainly is mm ll
disposed lo second ihb “Executive ] 1
view.” its will he seen by an extract ■
from the last liitiliniuml Enquirer, con- ]
siders twenty or twenty live per cenl.ji
as the extreme rate of duty, and even ;
that to be iiccompiinicd w ilii a prot ision j i
.if a gradual n tliiclion of duties down tor
the lowest rex emie point, in this, we do 1
m ♦ doubt, be spe nks the language of the 1
entire Smith. As to the probable idiionnl i
of revetiiie w liich the hill will give, it is :
dillieult lo speak with certainty. Wc i
would tnppose, s| caking conjee turn) ly,
that it cannot tit 11 shot tef sixteen orsev- 1
h tlceii iiiillibalt of dollars, the l sum nt
which it is estinii i'd Under this project,
and which, added to the pdblic lauds,
and bank dividends would leave a ( er
mtinent revenue «.f fr« in eight! en to
I wet ty millions of dollars, and leaving a b
surplus, at letist, ofseven mii!ionsi- r ii sum -

REPORT OF THE

On the iiiijnstnirnt of the 'J’arljf.
Tiikasi uv Dki’aht.mk.xt, April i7, IS‘J2. | 1
, f*'m; In obedience to two r< solutions 1
of the House of Heprest ntutives, of the
, litili ll tnuitry. IM2. directing the riot-re
. taiyolflie Trenssttry to collect informa
tion asto certain nnuiofact'ires in the U
. idled stales, anil lo c bnimunieate llie 1
same to the House, with such sugges
tions as lie may think useful, with a view
to the adjustment of the linin', and with
r such a (urilV ofduties on imports, in bis 1
opinion, be best adupteil lo the mluincc
. incut of tbe public interest; the under
, signed has (he honor to rs port, that, for 1
the purpose otel'.eeliuilly comply tug w i»b
! the presuhiefl object of the House, as
i soon os proper ngt nts could be selected,
he addressed circulars (acopy of which
I is now transmitted) to gentlemen in the !
. stales north of the Potomac, nfid in the
Stale of Ohio, requesting their aid in col
looting the information der-rted, and also
sought personal coulerenees with I'ltti !
( nent mamilacltiters, and other gentle-, 1
men at tpuiinlctl wltli the sul Jet t.
(>omf of those, however, who had been ; !
st let-led us agents, declined acting; ami 1
owing to lint, anti other c uses, withj
which it is m»l necessary to trouble the"
House, more time lias been employed in 1
executing the intentions of the deport
meat than was anticipated. The ini
1 portnnee of despatch was fully nppreci- i 1
tilt'd, but diitil the rt turns t oulil be t'C-j 1
eeivctl, toenabh* llie undersigned to com . 1
miinii-ate the liiets called for by tlie|'
House, he Hit! not deem himself author- '
ixed to submit any suggestions, or re- ' :
coiiiinend any put lierilur inodiltt ation ol [
existing duties.
These leturns have but recently begun 1
to come in. and have yt t liceii only par- I
dally received; but rather than incur any ‘
delay, ut this ml vnnrcd period ol theses-j;
-ion, or longer disappoint tbe expectation
of the House, the undersigned has thej*
donor lo communicate tlte ret urns as tar
as they have come to hand, and will eon 1
dime to transmit others as they may he j
, received at the department. , 1
1 n eonipl Ving tviffc so much ol the re-d
Millions of the HotisS a*t require M <- Sc-11
crtUiry of the Treasury to conum nic >te|'
.us own suggestions, he is well i.w i '
i'lhe delicacy and responsibility (t t > '
sk be has been instructed to petiorm; i
•e is profoundly sensittle, however, • j th-.s
tnpoi-tnnce of the crisis xxltieli ha- in
ueed the deniaml; and iie has entire 1
■onfidente in the liberal patriotism with 1
which every honest ctlbrt for he utmost
b
merit of its acknowledged difficulties will
be received.
If the raising the proper amount of re
venue were tne only object, or could n
lone guide these suggestions, the task
would be comparatively easy; hut she
crisis presents.n different imd far more
complicate subject, 'fhe impost syrVeVn
of the I nited States lias been, for. ihflny
years, incidentally, but so intimately con
nected with the growth and protection
of American capital and labor ns to have
raised up great national ihtereMs, indis
pensable to the prosperity of the coun
try, and w hich cannot ho tost sigh t of in
any new adjustttient of the system. How
far other interests, in dillereiit portions
of the Union, can be satisfied in the
system now to be framed, without inju
ry to fhos'e important interests is (he
question which makes a compliance with
the direction of the House, « labor of
great delicacy, and of still greater difll
citlfy.
In the circumstances which at present
require a general reduction of the reve
nue, it is not believed practicable to pre
serve, K>r any length offline, the degree
of protection liitheild afforded to I,hose
interests which have grown up under
the past legislation. The slate of pub
[lie feeling throughout an important por
tion of the country, which, with greater
|or less intensity, calls for ti revision of
i the existing tariff is not to lie disguised.
I Colli patriot): in and wisdom dictate that
ihisscnliment should be I'bispe.cleil, and,
[as tarns may bo compatible with the
I common wear, that it be satisfied, not
from any unworthy motive, blit under
tliaf obligation of dlity, Which requires
that ail be regarded with an equal eye;
and that all lie borne upon with nn equal
hand; ami, umler that no less solemn
obligation, to preserve, by any reason:!
hie concessions, nnr inestimable Union.
fully impressed with these considera
tions, and in the belief that, by their re
solutions, the Mouse has required sug
geslions lor a general reduction of duties
on the artiek it comprehended in the ex- ,
isting tarilf, the undersigned lias felt it
Ids duty to deal with the subject in that
spirit, and hits now thu honor to submit
the result ofliis investigation and reilee
tion in the t’crin of a bill accompanying
this letter.
He does not intefid it sin much for a
, perfect scheme, as to embody tliosb sag
| geslions which lie lias been called upon
to make in a deffniile and intelligible
shape; in <1 while looking to the patriot
ic object of the resolution, w hich has al
so guided his own judgment, he cheer
fully assumes the responsibility of the
scheme now presented, tie will ilbrlVe ho
less gratification if that object edn be
better at (rilled by any another j lan w hieh
wiser counsels may devise.
The basis ofthe bill now submitted, is
a total repeal ol the net of the 19th ct
May. IH2H. mid a limitation of the reve
line a/Tleiwards to be raised, liy a m*w
system of duties, to the editing expen
ditures ofthe (divernment, and to such ,
other necessary expenditures ns the ex- .
igeney ofthe public service may require, i
and Congress, in its wisdom, may au- ;
tliori/.e. ;
The estimate which was presented in i
tlie late atimml report from this d.-part
mrllt, aiid ofthe amoiiiil to he received i
into (he Treasury from customs, in the i
year iHVi, was founded, chieily, upon the i
imporli t'ons of the year IKM; and. as ,

in (he bill tot ike e I!: et in .March. i

from the customs in IKPI, will be itlloul i

for the payment ol the debt in that year, |
would It uve, for all olhir objects, #ls, i
odd tilt). i
r- boil Id the phhlib expenditures amount ,
to#1.5,(100000 after the payfttenl rs the ,

(his estimate for the effects of a diminish i
ed importation, .1* an dnusunl re expor i
lalion of those articles which may tie ,
int'liuled in the reduced tariff, and might',
not bo neeessiU'V for tlife consumption of i
the country before the reduced hirin' i
should go info opkratimi. \ Ft, hovvev'er, i
eqiiuby a prospective reduction nifty ena- ,

the demand, it iiv believed theta eunside- i
ruble reduction i houbl be ninde. for these ■
eonfingeneic”. It is dollbllul whether
they Would leave finysurplus, but. ifatly. i
a small one. And. in carrying into eUeci i
a great change like tins, it would be ini li
prudent to Incur (be risk of a scanty oi [ f
ileti dtive revenue, merely to avoid the
cliiihee of a sinull mu plus.
If a reduction of #10,00(1,000,- of up
wards, should be made, to go into opera- i
lion immediately, il would t i'lei t not only i
the fulin o revei >ie, but that nliirfi hits l
already accrued, tiud which forms ttieli
chief liasis of the nci ipls into tl.e Trea li
-ury during the present year. U hatevt*i j
amount, receivable from the i iistoms in ! i
this year, fmiy Ift* now in braid, it cannot |i
be doubled, that before lliufte bonds be-tl
come due, a re-exportation vvonld take t
place of all such article s us should be in [
eluded ill the reduced tarilf, mid be i:i a] i
-ilualien to entitle them to debentnru.— li
Midi art iclt’s could not enter into compc i i
litiofi with those imported under the re-! 1
■ luecd Inrill', and would necessarily lie ■,
re-exported. I
In regard to the proper lime for (he re |
duclion to go into operation, the ftdvnn- i
(age which all parties interested—the ,
producer, inamifaethrer, importer, con i
-umer—vvonld derive froni timely notice* i
of any important changes in the rules of i
duly, is a consideration wbithulso, ought (
not to be* overlooked.
For the objects mainly intended to be ,
prov ided for. mi annual revenue of #ls.- :
dlltl. (HU) is estimated to be necessary. Os i
this amount, until Uougross shnll other- ,

ed ail charges, will be reduced from
about forty live p«r cent, to about. tiVen
ty seven per cent. The elitlerencc, how
ever lift ween the raleofduties since 1850,
and thtW under the bill, will not bw ejuite
so great owing to flic reductions already
made in the duties on lea, collce, tnolass
es, and salt.
\ great number of nfflelesof the first
necessity, or partaking of the character
ol raw materials, haX'e lieen retievelf.
froiu duty altogether; and ton ninny es
the necessaries of life, and those princi
pally consumed iiy ttio poorer classes, a
duty almost nominal has been imposed.
Ait opinion has been heretofore ex
pressed by the undersigned, In favor of
a prospective and gradual reduction ol
the existing duly on articles embraced
by the protective system ; but it bus been
departed Crum in the bill, in delfcrenee to
respectable opinioith from oilier quar
ters, Iml principally to what is under
stood to be* the wish ofthe innnUlaetur
ersthemselves, who prefer per
mnnent in its eharactbr to one liable* to
change.
It has not been supposed practicable
to oiler any reasonable scheme of com
premise, and for the iiiljiistine at of exis
ting dillerenees, vv hich should not avoid
the incongruity in the art of fib in
the extravagant duty on the raw materi
als, and the vvell-folliiiled objections to
tlie system ofTninimiims.
It islielicvfd that the producer of the
raw material, and especially the grower
of wool, will receive an ample indemnity
iiir the concession now required, in the
eonsfaney and steadiness of the innrket,
which the sure and permanent success
oflhe manufacturing Cshddishhibiits will
not tkil to uftofel !bl* his commodity, and
in tlie cheapening of his general supplies.
Independently of these crjbkkleKations,
however, it O.ill appeal* by the statement
accompanying (he hill (marked A) that,
by lllft ilnty imposed tiy the hill on raw
wool, a price not less than forty cents a
pound is secured to tlie domestic produ
cer of (hat article. Other statements,
showing the operation of other parts of
the* bill. Will be* prepared liiid transmitted
as they may be iouild accessary.
Tlie system of minimums is regarded
as imposing an unnee-cssiii’y and extrav
agant rule ofdiily, mid ns eneoiiraging
tlie eoii.imissiun ofTrnikls dillicull, if nut
impossible to prevent. It. Is believed
that the e (list, already, link liee*ii to ex
clude the fair .Vme*i ieiili importer, inn
gi’ciil degl’ce, n’i«*u ilu* thiele, and to le*aVe
it in the* limids et'dtiicrs less ser'tipiiloils
as to tlie resti aiub: imposcii by the laws.
, The most plausible ground on w hich
this system can lie deihiided, ik, the secu
rity it affords to (be* immiit'iM'.tltret' against
Ihi* stlpCribi* i’aj'lial of his foreign rival,
ihitl ilii* occasional excessive influx of
the foreign merchandise*, tint tiii del
valorem iliilv of fiiillieienl iiiiionnt upon
the aetunl v aim* of the goods, fairly as
eerlained tinder the guards in the bill,
may accomplish life same object lint less
efleelually. Fre.iii inlorihation eleriveel

the raw inalerihjs, and lh(* lo(V rati* bf
duty on all other articles of'genM'ill ebn
sitiilptleni, the Aniere aii iiiaiiui'aelmer
may. as Is believed, hiing his merchan
dise Into market upon lertiis of equality
in cost with the foreigner, it it? noie/uuht
cd that tlifc net valorem duly proposed by
tlie bill, with cash piiymelits, and a duty
on Sales ut auction; will lie folly ade
quate to guard against the superiority of
fore ign eiq lla!, unit the ifuclnations of
trade. Il is a rale of profit in uiit.nury
times not enjoyed liy any other bratfeh
of industry not necessarily exposed to
greater risk and vicissitude.
The* imposition of a revek'fie eltil v triett*-
ly, on Coai'se wool not raised in tin* Uni
led Stales, and oti tlie eouiber dctiomina
limis of cloths, is hi sieved to be a coti
ces;-ioii due to the south and to (he south
western portions ofthe Union, and vvhh h
may be foade w ithink serloiis detriment
to the fniinut’aclnrcr.
Without some cortecssibn Hf prt*se*n(
iidvanltigc'i from all interests,any scheme
of adjustment must be considered as
hopeless'.
The bill nbvV .Submitted, proposes to
raise Iho revenue, with us little inconve
nience* as possible to all parts ofthe Uni
on ; it designs to leave all (he gr&at na
tional inl» rests adequately p'rofccted,
while it lessens the duty on i materials
and m ticles of necessity. Greater pro
tection nnglit be given, and the growth,
both oflhe raw malerrid and of tlienmn
itfaetilres, might li'ATnore rapidly encour
aged. It is believed, however, that by
the sftalei f duties in the bill, the advance
ment and prosperity of each w ill be cer
tainly attained ; hod if is for those inter
;e«teej to consider, whether iV be not wiser
and Mote pntri< tie to be content with a
certnm and permanent, though more
gradual process, than by contending for
extreme protection to endanger their
ow n interest mid, end ultirjiatcly disturb'
the harmony of tbo Union.
