Although no calculation has been completed, shewing the average rated of duty upon the value ol foreign ar ticle* imported into the United State*, it i* presumed that an iuipor tat ion ol g60.000.000 ol foreign meicliJhihz- will not produce a lev* revenue than 17,000.000. dol*.

This supposition rest* upon the two fold conviction, thai fo reign articles nearly equal to the va lue of the domestic, exports will be imported ami consumed ; and that the substitution of particular classes of dumestir article* for thoiie of foreign cations, not only does not necessarily diminish the value of do mestic exports, but usually tend* to increase that value. The duties upon various other arti cle*, notin any degree connected with our domestic industry, rosy, likewise be increased with a *i»w to the aug mentation of the public revenue. If the existing tariff shall, during the present .session of Congress, be judi ciously revised for the purpose of aug menting the revenue.it is confidently believed ihat it will not only be am" ply sufficient to defray all the de mand* upon the treasury at present authorised by law, but that there will remain to nnnust surplus, subject to such disposition, for the promotion of thr public welfare, as the wisdom ot Co- gresk may direct.

To provide for ihe estimated dafi- it of the years 1825 and 1826, as well at to meet any extraordinary demands up on the Treaaury, whch untoiseen exi gencies may require.it is believed to be expedient that the revenue should be increas 'd.
