THE BUDGET.
THE COMMITTEF OF WAYS
AND ME A NS.
Committee of Ways and Means , to
whom was referred so much of the
Message of the President of the
United States as. relates to the Jinan
; REPORT,
That taxes, loans and treasury
*l)otts, appear to be the resources on
Which we must rely for carrying on
the war. The product of the first
cannot lie commanded in time to
meet the immediate demands on the
treasury —a reliance on loans, in the
present situation of this country,
would be uncertain, and the terms on
which they would be obtained, not
«G\ich as to induce a resort to them
the present moment—treasury
Yiotes combined with a system ofl
taxation more extended than the or e-
T*ereto!' f, re adopted will it is believed,
in the present state of bank credit,
fce found to be a better resource.
The want of some medium, which,
resting onva firm and solid basis,
|p\ay unite public confidence, and
have a general, instead of a local cir
culation, is now universally acknowl
•edged.—The steppage of specie pay
ments by the principal banks -of the
Wniddle stats has embarrassed greatly
Ihe operat ions of the treasury, and
%y cbnfining the circulation of notes
to the limits of the states within
Which theyare issued has deprived
vhe government of all the facilities,
in the remittance of money, which
Was afforded while public confidence
£*ive to bank notes a utfineral circulaii
> «n. The notes of New York & Phi la
-delphia will not be received in Bos
ton ; the notes of Baltimore, or the
district of Columbia will not ans
wer for payments in. Philadelphia*
If. by any new modification, treasury
notes could be made to answer the
purposes of a circulating medium
between the different states they
would greatly facilitate the operations
of government , and free from ‘em
harassment the transactions of in
dividuals. To secure their circula-
it would be necessary* Ist. To
issue the notes in sdn;s sufficiently
*mall for the ordinary purples of
society 2nd., To allow the individu
al who holds them to fund them at
pleasure at any of the loan offices,
<md to receive their amount in stock
of the United States, bearing an in
trust of eight per cent. Sd. To make
them payable to bearer, & transfera
ble by delivery. 4tV. To make
them receivable in all payments for
public lands and taxes. sth To
pledge for the payment of the inter
est on the amount issued, so much
of the internal duties as shall be ne
cessary. To prevent an accumula
tion of circulating medium, the
United States to retain the power
•n giving six months* notice, of re
deeming them with specie, exchang
ing for them stock bearing an inter
est of eight per cent- If these pro
Visions are adopted, and taxes impos
ed which shall manifest clearly the
ability of the government to meet
its Engagements, our present difficul
ties will Vanish, confidence be restor
ed. and the capital hoarded by ava
rice, or locked up from timidity,
Will agaift be restored to the accus
tomed channels of circulation. In
presenting additional objects of taxa
tion, care has been taken to select
©ueh as will bear equally on every
portion of the community. In Eu
•ope, the price of agricultural pro
ducts is not materially affected* by a
fctate of war ; the produce 5 of the
earth is there consumed withM the
country, in peace and in war. The
aquation of the Uqited States is to
tally different—with an extensive St
fertile country, and a small popula
tion, compared to the extent of our.
territory- we have'annually a large
eurplus to export to foreign markets,
aver and above what is necessary _
for consumption. On the export of
this surplus, which is cut off by war,,
depends m a great degree, the anili
ty of the farmer to meet
While however war depresses toe
agricultural interest, it gives vigor
to various manufactures ; by destroy
ing all foreign competition, the war
baa brought many of these manufac
tures to a state of perfection which
Will secure their successful prosecu
tion even after peace shall he rtstoi^
ed. difficulty and dsg.
fer, we *nust appeal to the patriot
ism of eyery class of bur citizens.
‘1 hese establishments, under the fos
tering hand of the government hare
grown to maturity, and will not hes
itate to bear, with the agricultural
interests, their portion of the taxes
necessary to maintain, unimpaired,
that character for punctuality and
good iaith, for which the American
government has heretofore been dis
tinguished* Several of these nu nu
factureshave been selected as proper
subjects of taxation ; andoit is pro
posed to unite with the taxes, .i
pledge of the public faith for the con
tinuance of the double duties, until
the tax shall be repealed.
The committee deemed it unne
cessary, at ptesent to present any
view of the expenditures for the next
year, reserving a report on that sub
ject, until the estimates from the
treasury shall be fotwarded.-—Con*
fining, therefore, thi* report to the
additional taxes necessary lor the
support of the public credit, they
submit the fallowing resolutions :
1. Resolved, That it ,s expedient to con*
tinue the direct tax, and co increase the same
fifty per cent.
2. Resolved, That it is expedient to in
crease the duty on spirits distilled, by an addi
tional duty of twelve and a half cents on the
gallon
3. Resolved, That it i.'jexp&iiem to add one
hundred per Cent on sales at auction.
4. Resolved, Tnar it is expedient to add
fift,, per cent to the present duty on the Con
veyance of papers and letters.
5. Resolved, Thar it is expedient toimpose
* 4 u ]y on l be following articles, viz manufac
tured touacco and snutf, *n the hands of the
manufacturers; candles of tallow and sper
maceti, ffats, on cotton yarn, spun by the
