REVISION OK THE TARIFF.
Tho President submitted tho following re
purl of tho Svcietety of the Trcasary in port reply
to a resolution oTthe Seuateoftho IGtli Inat.
Tdmivhv DaeAMTMNNT,
Junoary 10, 1841.
Situ I linvo the honor to submit Ihu following ro
nurt, incoim.ll.inco with llin first branch of a roan
lution, which passed tho Setiuto on tho 1G.I* inat.
in these wind*:
" llttolrrd, That the Secretary nf the Treasury
he directed tocommunicatutn the Snnnte.lho plan
iff a permanent nhi.ngo in in tha tariff, il.odi tnils
nnd genar.il principle* of which, he state* in I.i* un
nual report of lliu 7dt ultimo, he Ima ounsideretl,
and on which ho is ready to report at nny moment
either Homo of Congress might express a wish to
(hut effect."
Foreseeing liimyann.ml report of December,
1U39, i Ion the subject of a revision of ihu present
lurifl'might bo safely postponed, J tlmn staled, that
it wns not my intention to examine it nt ttixt time,
being" a topic involving considerations ofsudlffi
otilinnd iigitutinga churactor." but a* some of
the Committee un Manufacture* afterwards express
utl a wish fur a plan of such a revi-h.n to bo pro
pared by the session of 1340 nnd 1841, nnd as the
largo reduction which is to tnku place in tho du
tiosat the close of this year, and of Juno 1842, np
neared in the view of mnny io tender auch a revidon
im|»erative. n* n liscul measure, before those times
arrived, I deem it a duty, for there and the reason*
mentionedin my laslaiinual report,to makn tho
preparations expected, so that a *y*teir. might ho In
readii.uss for the consideration ol tho commiitoo or
Congress, should it appear to them that the public
interests required action on tho subject at ll.o pre
sent session,
A call being now rondo for it by the Senate, and
supposing, from the language used, amt the advan
ced period of tho session, that an early reply is de*
ired, I submit, without material alteration, the plan
refi’t red to, with ll* "dcloHsand general principles."
ll lihelicved that tho reduction In tho duties on Im
posts, whirh, by thorxlsting tariff, w III tnko place in
tho year 1842, cannot vary much (rom fivo millions
of dollars. For rersons assigned in the last two an
anal reports on thefinances, the expectations of tho
undersigned are, that if tho expenditures are pro
perly and seasonably diminished, it will not bo ne
cessary to raiso all this amount hy taxation in any
form, but should Congress think differently, anil
conclude to obtain it by revising the present laws
in relation to duties, ilia believed that cmain facts
and principle* are highly important fur considera
tion, in deciding whnt kind of a revision is compe
tent and most appropriate. In stating tlreto facts
and principle*, whh a viowr to explain the plan
called fbr by the resolution, all possible brevity,
consistent with the impotraaco of the subject, will
be employed.
The chief legislation, which now exists in farce,
bearing on titis inquiry, ii contained in an act pass
ed March 21,1833. That act is supposed to have
been, not an ordinary measure uflegislatlon, hut
the result ofa enmpromiso hot ween certain great
and conflict lag interests on the difficulties then in
volved in the agitating matter of thn tariff. Hence
though the act was in the form nf a law, and there
fore liable, in a proper case, to tiny future modifies
lion or repeal of its provisions, it is understood Hint
the parties most concerned, contemplated thorrhy a
permanent arrangement of tha leading principles
that should after wants control tlte whole subject.
The importance of the emergency which occasioned
the passage of the law—the distinguished imlividu
ala who particiitatrd mart immediately in adjusting
it* provisions, and the salutary influence of (hair op
cration up to the present lime, in importing a de
gree of stability to our manufacturing enterprise,
sought in vain through the previous fluctuatious of
legislation, Imve probably contributed to atrungtheu
this impressioa.
But however that fact may have been, and sub.
ject to subsequent alterations, as all laws must pre
perly be considered, yet, to change the limitations
In this aae, so peculiarly situated, and to do it a-
gainst the wishes of person* most interested, or
without the apology nf some public exigency or ne
cessity of Slate, would surely seam to ba unnerves*
ry, and, at least, nf doubtful propi Inly.
Hence, at this period of |wace abroad, of Iran*
quillity at borne, of great eaamptiwi from public
debt, and uf unquestionable ability lo raise ntnple
revenue, without enerearhing upon the plain import
or the compromise, the undersigned cannot hesitate
while considering what wuuklbo tlm most appro-
priate revision of llie unff fur tins want* >4 1842,
t>ituewmtnend one which aha 11 nut violate the stipu
Utions contained in that r«.mpnmi«e. What, then,
ate tims# stipulatiuasur restrictions)
1. The Asst seems tu be. that a reduction, by in
sialmeaia,«likef.irateirel» of dunes, when exceed
ing |w.nly percent, should fusihw.ih rntnnieftre
and eweiiMM uawuifupted uaiii July 1st, ||J},
an that when that period arrived, nt dmir* whiter
M should exceed twenty pen-ear. T»- leading see
Ilea uf Ilte ad is eapjini upon this point, j I etna
cunt, yet it should nut raise tho tariH'oii ihore id.
that rate, oven for revenue, mucli l«*» probably fur
any other purpose. Tito eloso of lire fi.li arctiou
seems tu Ire express, that tire duly on nrticl- • • ay
ing n foss rata Ilian twenty per cent, if clretigcd Ire
loro 1842, shall Ire altered "in su.li manner us not
to exceed that rato."
What would he deemed the proper di-p all ion of
this limitation, ifn duly uf twenty percent, on nil
imports would not yield sufficient lor tire le^iiun itu
purpose* of revenue, m.i-l bo m-nled wlo-n .Ire o .»e
• bull arl*u. nutltDlrelkjvcdtl. it, witll priqrer
economy, there is no likelihood of *uch o case over
occurring in a perirel of |iexce.
4. Another restriction, supposed to have been in
tended, is, tliut ifn revision Ire ii.u.lu lo ••|renitu nf
tor Jhi.o 30th, 1842, Instead ol before, still, ns ii ge
neral rule, none of tire duties shall lie then rain'd
•bov« twenty per cent. Thus, ilia close of lire
Sth soction provides ihm "oil impori* on which
iho 1st section of this act may operate, nnd nil uni
cles now admitting to entry fiou from duty, or f-uj
il.ga less rato of duty than twenty per cent, ad va
to ren, before the suid 30lh of June, 1842, from and
after that Huy, may Ire ndmiltnd to entry ■uhj>'ci re
auch duly not exceeding twenty irer com. ad vah
rem ns shall bo provided hy law.’’ A clinngu could
the* be made at pleasure from twen.y per coot,
downwards to entire freedom fiom nny impost, hut
no incrcaso was to be pcfifihtod to go above tliut
rate.
Indeed, thn inference would seem to (re thnt lire
compromise was intended to prevent nny duties
from being nsscared, oven after 1842, exclusively
for tire purpose of distribution, or protection,
whether below or nbovn twenty per cent in amount.
Because a clausa In the 3d section provides, lh.it
after 1842 "duties shall bo laid for the purpnso of
raising such revenue ns may Ire necessary to un eeo
nomieat administration of the Government," but it
silent us to recognising or sanctioning nn authority
to do il fur any other purpose. Thu raidng such u
revenue was tire great object of granting nny pow
er in the Constiiu-ian to Iny taxes and imposts.—
And it would Ire difficult to find, in a limited gram
of powers, liko what is contained in that insirti
ment fur laying imposts, a warrant to impose
them for other and distinct objects, and e*|i
dally, if the operation of such n measure np
patently under aa as.umed authority, and on
a subject so delicti.) and momeuttui* tu tnnn
kind as a taxation, should tend lo enrich particular
elasies ur scatjuns, at lire expense of others.—
In truth the tariff is at much n system of iiixntiin a-
a land tax, a stamp tax, or a direct tax of nny kind;
nnd is chiefly distinguishable from them l.y being
more suhlle and lets obnoxious in it* form, l ire
confining of all duties, hereafter, lo u low rule, was,
therefore, desirable lo tire great truss ortho people,
because it was confining taxes lo n low rate. It
wns further supposed, without d..ubt, that though
comparatively low, they would yield, with tire
other urdlnuiy receipts, nn ample supply i.frovcnuu
for such an economical administration" ns is
contemplated hy this section uf the net. Il i* nl«n
probable, that many sound principles nf political
ecunomy and a mutual desire tu arrange perma
nently tha tariff flontrovursy, united to ( ersnutln
Congress, not only to reduce tint duties lower, hut
to provide that they slreuld always be kept low* r.
It must have been foreseen, that this would nvoid
lire treeless vacillation, if not folly, ulflr«t ditninRIi-
ing all the duties t otweniy percent by 1842, with a
view afterward* of again immediately raising them
nbfcTO it. It wn*uhviou*, loo, (lint hy keeping the
imposts more reduced, thu tutilf would operate m oo
advantageously lo Ircc trade, nnd the procurement
ofrucipmonl favors nbioud. by confining, in sub
stance, nny future change to purposes of revenue
alone, and within iwnniy per cent instead ol a whin
range of thirty, fifty, eighty, nt.d even more, at times,
previously in practice, nnd frequently for protection,
ll would IlkuvvRu impart greater permanency nnd
prosperity o«oh to ttiauUl'octuring nnd, with that, in
all oilier descriptions of industry, his well known,
from recent experience, tlm such stability in our
system of duties would bo Lnterfortho manufactu
rer, as well as the merchant, and tho community nt
large, thnn oven it higher rato exposed to constant
changes, because in tho former case intelligence
nnd foresight could make more accurate calcula
tions for lire future. A more uniform thrift, a nmc
regular rutvard to industry, and a higher .lotto of
moral fooling, would uvory where tnlto tho place of
constant fluctuations, mere gambling speculations,
and n dangerous overaciion from renewed hope* ol
high profits—often so very fallacious. Uiisin.-s« nnd
llie currency would then be sternly, and ho tegoln-
ted, as they should bo, tatlior by tho groat law* of
trade, than by banks or puli.icians. Nor is this per
nmnency injurious tu the laborer nnd artisan any
more tliun to «tIters; as ail trade* and regions of this
countrs ate open tu enterprise, nnd a larger tlm re
hero, than ubrond, of iho income in any ono branch
of business most, nnd should, unifo. inly go to wage*
rather than capital, or the wo.km.iu will, umh r our
free institutions, quit it f»r more lucrative employ-
moot. OA tlte contrary, if nn nnuxually large share
go to him, for a time, in uny particular pursuit nr
placo, others will soon ruth in, participate, xnd re
duce it by rompciinn even below iho average. Uni
foimity ami steadiness nre, therefore, not iuj.irimi*
to any, though engaged in labor or ntnnuf.ic ur.**,
but usoful to nil. except tho tnero speculating class.-*.
Two other restriction* exist in tho 3d section of
the compromise net, which teams to huvo been it.
tended mnroatpecinlly for the benefit of tho manii-
fnctaiers und uf tho revenue.
5. One it, that, after Juno, 1042, "ull dude* on
imports shall l*e collected in randy money, ntid all
credits now allowed l«y law in thu payment of duties,
shall be, and are hereby, abolished.’* This wa*
regarded at that time, as* change likely tolm very
fuvorablo.to bo manufacturing class, by making the
twenty l*or coni, in cash operate, virtually, u» n
higher prelection thantwcipy pur cent, nnu credit
as now, uf three and «ix mouth*, w ithout interest.
In point of fact il was, also, u provision, prnpliotic
as to evils to come, under tin excessive credit sys
tem, uii.l will bo possessed of much imporlunco in
curing them, and in securing the Government, nnd
through it, the community at large, ngain»t losses
by credit to meichants lor duties, nnd by dcfnult*
of collectors, district attorneys, and marriml*, enus
ed by indulgence from them in collecting bonds lor
duties. After Juno, 1842, iho importers of goods
will, in this respect, stand *>n ilm •■„,« r...j.,i. n
with the purchases of pi.b’ic lands. While no com
plaint can then bo made by either, of favor or di*
crimination, tho revenue will thus bo rendered much
safer, and public and private morality improved by
the removal ofonegreat source of speculation and
bankruptcy.
6. Tho other restraint requires tho duty, after
1042, to bo imposed on tho value of the mcrcl.nn
di«e " at the porttchere Ike tame thall be entered."
This will render lira twenty per com. still mote im
portant to both the manufacturers and lira revenue
by being more secure against frauds nnd evasion*,
and being another virtual increase of duty on the
•am* articles: aslholaitarare u»uslly worth much
mote here than abroad. Wheth -r the value of
them here being not uniform at >1 fferem ports, would
if taken a* the guidein assessing the duty, bejutily
npen to any constitutional objection, it is not denned
appropriate on this occasion to discuss. From
these various considerations tba following deduc
lions are made:
That the present tariff laws should Ira as little dis
turbed by any revision •• possible, ronsitteni with
lira public wants, and an adherence to sound princi
ple; that changes should be made chiefly, if not suit
ly, for purposes of revenue; that these changes, when
raising lira duty, wlrather operating before or olier
July 1, 1842, should as a general tule, bo confined
to articles not paying a duty as high ns tw enty |«r
cent; that except in ex'rem* cs*es, it should never
raise them above that rate! and, lastly, that lira eat*
ling provisions for the paymant of duties in cash,
and tho assessment of them »n lira value of ilia tner
ebaudtso at the putt of entry after 1842, ar* too im
portant tu be disregarded,
A principle deemed useful in carrying out ihe»r
two l, is ihist In raising lira sum eroded, il il din s
not hertuna necessary lo subject all fir# articles to

WASHINGTON, Jnn. 23.
Tho Scnnto was again the theatre, to day, ofa
great intellectual struggle between Mr. Calbofth
nnd Mr. Webster. The subject was iho distribution
scheme of Mr. Clay, now pressed by Mr. Critten
den’s motion to recommit the preemption bill with
Instructions lo subsiituto for it the distribution plan.
Mr. Calhoun spoke about an hour end a half,and
with even more than his accustomed ability nnd cm
orgy. His object Whs to prove that the distribution
scheme is unconstitutional, nnd that the financial ef
feet would be disastrous. Of course, 1 cannot pre.
tend to give his views on these suhj-cts. Bui,as far
as the coustitutiinol argument is concerned, it lie*
in a'ni.t shell, Tlw lands were ceiled he argued,by
Virginia und the other States, to the “United State*
in Concress assembled." The grur.t was nut to tho
States in their individual character,but to the Stoles
in their uegregatQ capacity. The land was to be
held in 11 ust by.ho general government,nnd ofcuurso
could noi be divided nor distributed. Further, it
was loconstitoie"H cninmun fund" for lira purposes
of the general guvi-rnnieni.
The financial character of the measure be drnnune
e-l as m.-erable and opptf«sive io the South and the
new S ales. Toe plan ua- to take this money out
of the Treasury, and replenish the Treasury by du
lie* nn luxuries. That wa * ihe scheme of the Bens
tor from Massachusetts,(Mr. Webster.) He would
go with tliut gentleman in laying duties on luxuries,
pinvided he would ink- a like am»untof duti.s uif
fiom neceoniies; but for the purposo of enabling
tli-- Suite* tu pay the bunds due to foreign capita
lists he would nut lay a cent of duty, either upon
luxuries or necessaries. It might be, as (be Sen
tor Hrgued, that the dutifs on French silks. Sec.
would Dll im the producer, an J not on theconsum
er, hut in lira reaction of trade our own productions
w..old -uffur for want of a market. 1 be ky« we

b#thec.ldefsufferers hy the scheme. Ibetaxoo
