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 i duly, or to un* as high as twenty per cent and u disciim.nstDn can ilrarsforeb* indulged within th# resltkiloes of theroinprerni*# art, ft is doui t r*« a s»uadeiiom I# select far highest laaaiimi atihles of haury, railmt than of necessity.
