Tuesday, Jan. II.
Mr. IIatsf.s submitted the following resolution,
und remarked on ofiering it, tliat. as tho subjert ofit
interesting to every part of tbe community, he
hoped it would not bu doniod (he courtesy of ti
consitieralion :
licsolrtd, Thnt tho Committee of Ways and
Means be instructed to impure into the expediency
of rrducinir the duty on browu sugar imported into
the United States from foreign countries.
Mr. Ha sissy inquired if a similar resolution had
not nlrrndy been offered nt the present session.
The Speaker replied, that there bad been so ma
ny resolutions offered lie could not take upon himself
answer tho question.
Mr. Con oi jt demanded the question of consider
ation.
Mr. Haynes asked if lie could have nn opportu
nity to modify the resolution, before the question of
consideration was put.
Tbe Speaker answered in tbe affirmative.
Mr. Haynes then modified his motion to road as
follows :
WhcrtaSf without a considerable diminution of re
venue, the public debt will, in a very few years be
redeemed nnd discharged: Anil whereas, the end of
republican government is the prosperity and Imppi-
ness of the people-. And whereas, this end cannot
he more certainly promoted than by a system of tax
ation which shall leave the largest portion of the
products or labor in the pockets of tbe people : And
whereas, the necessaries of life should ns far as prac
ticable, bo exempted from taxation : And whereas,
brown sugar has become nn article of groat nnd ne
cessary consumption among nil classes : And where
as, the present duty on that article, imported front
foreign countries, bears nn unjust nnd extrnvagant
proportion to the original cost in foriegn markets
And whereas, there is good reason to believe that
the tax collected by the Government upon its impor
tation, amounting tonne million four hundred thirty
four thousand nine hundred nnd sixty-one dollars,
and eleven rents, is less than half the sum taken
from the pockets of the people under the operation
of the existing duty, the quantity mnnufnrtiired in
the United States within the year eighteen hundred
and thirty, having been estimated at one hundred
thousand hogsheads, equnl to tine hundred millions
of pounds, nt three rents per pound, protecting duty,
equal to three millions of dollars.
Htrolred, Thnt tho Committee of Ways and
Manns he instructed to inquire into the expediency
of reducing the duty on brown sugar imported into
the U. N. from foreign countries.
On thin resolution, Mr. Condict demanded the
question of consideration.
Mr. Martin suggested thnt the bettor course would
be, to move to lay tho resolution on the table ; and
Mr. i biHDicT so varied his motion, when
Mr. Dinky renewed the demand for the question
of consideration.
Mr. Cambium.eng called for the yens und nays oi
tne question, nnd they were ordered by the House
Being taken, they stood as follows : yens FIl, naysK e
8o the House a terinined to consider the resolu
tion.
Mr. IIAYNEB said bo was glad, notwitstanding
the rule which, however wisely ndopted, was in its
operation ho well calculated to nbridge the liberty of
speech, that the House bad extended to tho resolu
tion just offered tho courtesy of consideration. He
was willing to have rested the subject, solely upon
the resolution first offered, and hut for the npprehen
aion of n refusal to consider it, should not have mo.
difietl it by the addition of the preamble. Ihit.nsthi
House hud. somewhat unexpectedly, a Horded him the
opportunity of presenting a lew observation to its at
tention, lie would not permit that opportunity to pass
away wholly unimproved by him. W hen he had
the honor to bring this subject to the consideration
of the House nt an early day of tho nresent session,
he had extended his proposition to the whole class
nf sugar.*, because, whether they had been imposed
for the purpose of revenue or protection, he thought
the time had arrived when the dutiesi ought to be en
tirely abolished. But, in introducing the subject
thus broadly, lie did not consider that tbe Committee
of Ways and Means would be necessarily restricted
in their inquiry to the mere question of repeal ; but
if in their wisdom it should be determined that a
partial reduction of llie dulios was ul( life exigen
cies of the country would permit, they would be au
thorised to go so Jar. and no farther. For bis part,
he had formerly believed, be now believed, nnd ever
should believe, that tlie true end of the (iovernment
was the happiness and prosperity of the people ;
nnd for the furtherunee of this end.it was essential
that the necessaries of life should be subjected to tlie
smallest amount of taxatiou which tlie public exigen
cies would permit.
Whatever might have been the original use of tlie
article of sugar—if it was first n medicine, and then
a luxury—it nnd become an article of essential ne
cessity, as was proven by the estimated consump
tion of the present year, atone hundred and fifty
millions of pounds. Nor in this character is its use
confined to nny particular or favored class of the
community, but runs through every degree and con
dition in life. And here be would remark, thnt not
withstanding the laws of the country nre accessible
to nil, it is important thnt the public mind should be
enlightened upon the existing tax on sugar. But,
before proceeding further with the subject, ho would
beg leave to remark, that how much soever gentle
men might sneer at the proposition, that under om
system of revenue the taxes are paid by the produ
cers, no proposition was, to his mind, more dear anti
undeniable, as consumption must necessarily be reg
ulafod by production. By an examination of the
tariff of nnd reference to tlie annual report
from tlie Treasury Department, upon the commerce
and navigation of'the United States, since that period,
it would he found, that the duties imposed upon th
import of lump ami refined sugars, nnd’sugnr candy,
had amounted to prohibition ; thus effectually depri
ving the consumer of any choice whatsoever be
tween the. foreign and domestic articles. Nor is it
any answer to this assertion to say. tliat smite twen
ty-five or thirty thousand dollnrs of revenue has been
derived from their consumption, within the ^ears
eighteen hundred nnd fifteen to eighteen hundred
and twenty-nine inclusive* Nor **this aft ; for in
asmuch n« the consumption of hnwn engar among
t he poorer class.** is much grr>ater hi proportion to
theis means than among the wealthy, the tnx Ikllt
moet heavily on those who are leasable to hear K.
And here he would fake the orcAffi&n to remark, that
although lie still entertained tlie opinion, nadet Ufa
influence of which bin resolution of the ljtthDecem
ber was offered, the advice of firiends and the hopa
of a more favorable consideration, had reduced him
to narrow that resolution to its present shape. Bui

the receiver, but the paverof taxes.
He regretted that he had nn specific fofhtmalWn
ns to the price of sugar U|foreign countries whsntbw
tariff of J 7.<Lj, was imposed. l)nt, if he had been
correctly informed, the foreign co*t cf brown sugar
imported info this country at thnt period, was not
less than eight to ten cents per pound. If this bn
true, it is the obvious inference, thnt Uoromment
did not then intend, by n tariff of two cents per pound
to impose a duty which should operate as mors than
twenty or twenty-live per cent, nd valorem, on the
original cost of the article. But as the foreigu cost
has considerably declined since thnt period, thereby
increasing the relation of the duty to such cost, if
the duty of 17!’ t had not been increased by the act
of 1810, it would now operate at the rate of forty to
fifty, or sixty per cent, nd valorem, on tlie original
foreign cost. But by raising the duty in )8if» to
three cents per pound on brown sugar, its nd valorem
operation is still greater, being not less than one hun
dred per cent. In tbe discussion of this subject, wo
might be told, thnt tbe average price of sugar had
declined in consequence of its manufacture in this
country, nml liiereforo sound policy required the con
tinuance of tlie present duty. If gentlemen would
lake the trouble to inform themselves on this subject
he was satisfied they would find, that such an asser
tion was wholly without foundation. For his part,
he had I ecu at some pains to obtain information, tho
remit of which was, that the price of sugar impor
ted into Ungland, Irom the ynir 18)4 to inclu
sive, bud undergone nn astonishing diminution, no
part of which could bo ascribed to its mnnufacturo
in this country. By a reference ton statistical work
the population and resources of (irent Britain,
which lie find examined, it would ho found thnt the
average price of brown sugar imported into Eng-
laud, in tbe former year, was seventy-three shillings
nnd four pence one farthing to the hundred weight,
and in the latter year but thirty-one shillings and
farthing. Surely this mnlu not ho ascribed to
its manufacture here. Nor docs it appear that the
price of either year depended upon n stinted supply
in the one, or nn excessive importation in the other
ns a considerable surplus was exported in each.
And here be would repeat, substantially, what
said during the discussion oflhe Fast! ndin sugar duty
tbe House nf Commons, in It*2ft was, by tho late
r. Huskisson, one of tlie most able nnd practical
statesman England lias ever produced, assn whose
death may well ho lamented in that country, as a
great public, cnlamity, that whenever there is nn ex-
ccsa of import over o nisumption, the prire of the
article must bo regulated by the markets ol'the world.
He said, that a proposition of such obvious truth did
not require the aid of illustration or argument from
him. Not only had the British market exercised an
influence on the price of th« article, but the French
market also. Ami here he was not prepared to speak
so definitely ns to the price in France ns he had done
of England. Nor was it important lor him W» do so,
n« the influence exercised by the French market on
the price of sugar originated principally front tho
partial exclusion of the article. It must be well
known to every member of this House, that during
the wars of the French revolution, tlie sugar colonies
of France were cut off from the mother country—
nnd that although thocommerco between those colo-
and tho mother country entered for several
years very largely into the American t arrvirg trade,
yet the interpolations of national law brought to op
erate upon neutrals by the principal belligerents, at
length destroyed that trade entirely. Accustomed
to the use of sugar, the French people were not
willing to forego this necessary article of consump
tion, ami their ingenuity soon furnished & substitute
in the sugar extracted from the beet. The culture
of tbe beet, and the extraction of sugar from it, had
grown to such nn extent before the general pacifica
tion of Europe in I "Id, that the Government impo
rt! a high duty ou foreign Niignr for tbe protection
of the domestic. This system had not l*«*en aban
doned since the recovery of the French sugnr colo
nies in the West Indies. Thus it was probable, that
a considerable portion oflhe sugar munufmetwrod in
those colonies was necessarily thrown m»on the
great market of the world. He said, if the facts and
inferences upon which he had thrown himself were
true, nnd ho did not think they could be successful
ly controverted, the price of sugar arising from its
manufacture in this country, so far from regulating,
bad been regulated by tbe markets of the world.—
Hut, before dismissing this branch of the subject, he
Would observe, that the price of sugar in tbe Eng
lish market could not have been influenced by any
variation of the duty, ns that fluctuated between
twenty-seven and thirty shillings the hundred m eight
making a difference of but three shillings the hun
dred weight between any two years of the period to
which he had referred. Nor can it be doubted that
the high duty in Great Britain considerably lessens
tlie nmonnt of sugar consumed there, anti particu
larly in Scotland and Ireland ; thus leaving a much
larger quantity for the supply of other markets,
and consequently lowering its price in those markets.
But wo might derive instruction on this subject by
a referenro to the treasury reports upon tho coil*
inerce and navigation of this country from eighteen
hundred nnd twenty-one to eighteen hundred and
twenty nine inclusive. During that whole period it
would be found, thnt the foreign cost of brown su
gar importril into the United Ftates had not varied
more than about half a cent per pound, and that not
by nn uniformity declining price. Ner will it fail to
he observed, upon an examination of the reports re
ferred to, that the importation of brown sugar pay
ing duty, was greater in than in Jp^J, nnd not
much b*ss than tlie average annual importation of
the whole period. Nor might it be improper for him
here to remark, that there w as a considerable annual
xportation with the benefit of drawback from 1821
to 1'2!>, inclusive. If it could be necessary for him
to go further to account for tbe gradual decline in
tbe price of sugar throughout llie commercial world
within the last fifteen years, it would he sufficient
to advert to the large amount of labor released from
the purposes of war about the commencement of
that period, and the consequent diminution of iU
value, in all productions of human industry. But,
tho kindness of a friend had furnished him with
i* means of doing so since the commencement of
his remarks, he would state some additional facta
boaring upon the probable causes of the diminished
price of sugar within tbe last few years. He had
brought down the price of sugar imported into Great
Britain to the year and was now prepared' tfc
trace it to 1^2*, nt tbe clone of which it was twerity-
Hcven shillings the hundred weight. Nor was this
asioned by diminished duty—tbe duty having
n permanently fixed at twenty-seven shillings
the hundred weight, or one hundred und twelve
pounds, lie was also prepared to state specifically
the effect which the protection ntfofded in France to
sugar extracted from tbe beet, had produced on thecon-
sumption of West India sugar, in that country in th®
year 1^27. The consumption amounting, in a pop
ulation exceeding thirty-millions, to no more than
one hundred and thirty-two millions of pounds —
But, when we consider that the whole consumption
of sugar in Franee, and the British Empire, in Eu
rope, equals six hundred millions of pounds annual
ly, (the consumption of England alone in l'*‘2.1, ha
ving been estimated bv Mr. Iliiskisson nt three hun
dred nnd sixty millions.) and reflect mi the nnmens®
additional quantity necessary to supply no Jbe coun
tries of the world'which consume the nrt oJc, t 11 nmat
be manifest that its manufacture in tin I cited . taler
exercises a very insensible, it any influence on ita
price either nt home or abroad. But, ottr own com
mercial history furnishes an instance ot tlie decline
in the price of brown sugar within a few years as re
markable ns any that hns been mentioned, nnd that
too without any possible reference to its mnnufac*
tn re in this country. If gentlemen will examine th®
prices current of Philadelnhia for the years 1804, to
JM»7. inclusive, they will find that from June of
the former to tlie same month cf the latter year,
the price declined from twelve and on** half to nine
cents per pound, nnd that too, at a period when our
foreign relations with the moat powerful maritime
notion in th® world th mat#ned aeriumt inturnipttalMi
