be found superior iu'design and execution to those of any
previous year; also, an extensive assortment ol illustrated
works of ii less ephemeral nature, equally well suited to the
wants of the “gay and gallant.” and pleasing to the fair and
refined. Nor oie the wants of "the man Of elegant leisure"
overlooked; he will find on the table, the "Table Tall” of
the scholar and the critic, and "Bubbles from the Brunneti,"
as “sparkling and bright” as those of. Champagne; ‘words
that burn” upon Bums cooled by breathings "from the shad,,
ow of Mont Blanc," with other dainties tempting to ali tastes
not even forgetting those who deem the "oblivious nop" the
lost luxury ol those “who bravely dare to dine.” It would
be useless to attempt an enumeration, or descant upon the

\Vhieh v deducted front the lota! of means be
fore stated, gives au estimated balance on
1st July, 1347, of 4,332,441 07
The receipts for the first quarter of this year are less,
by $2,011,883 90. than the receipts of the same quarter last
year. Among the causes of decrease is tbe progressive
diminution of the importation of many highly protected ar
ticles, an I the substitution of rival domestic products. For
the nine months, ending June 30, 1843, since , tho present
tariff. tlie average of duties upon dutiable imports was
equal.to 37.81 MO per cent, for tho year ending June 30,
1845. 33,85 9-10 pet cent, and for ths year ending June 30,
1845. 29.90 percent—showing a great diminution in the
average per qentage. owing in part to increased importa
tion of some articles heating the lighter duties, and decreas
ed importauon-.of others bearing the higher duty. The
revenue from ad valorem duties last year exceeded that,
realized fiom specific duties, although the average or the
ad valorem duties was only 23.57 per cent, nnd the average
eff the specific duties 4130—p'esenting another strong proof
that lower duties increase the revenue. Among theoauses
tending to augment the revenue, are increased emigration,
and the annexation of Texas. The estimates for the ex
penditures of 1816 are hased chietly upon appropriations
m.iJe by Congress. The estimated expenditures of 1847
nrefouiidod upon data furnished by the several departments,
and are less by 84.108.233 Go than those of the preceding
year. Thcseestiinates are submitted in the full eon notion
that, whenever Congress, guided by an enlightened ennui,
my, can diminish the expenditures without injury to the
public interest, such retrem-hment will be made, so as In'
lighten the. burden of taxation, and hasten the extinguish
ment of the public dehr, reduced on the 1st of October last
to $17,075,445 32.
In suggesting improvements in the revenue
laws, the following principles have been adopt-
o !:
1st. That no more money should be collect
ed than is necessary for the watt's of the gov
ernment economically adtnin stored.
2J. That no duly be imposed on any ariiclo
above tile lowest rate which will yield the lar
gest amount of revenue.
3d. That, below such rale, discrimination
may be mode, descending in tho scale ol du
ties • or, for imperative reasons, the article
may bo placed in tire list of those free from all
dtl'V.
4'h. That the maximum revenue duty should
be imposed on luxuries.
5th. That nil Oiiniraums, and all specific du
ties, should be abolished, und advalorem duties
substituted in their place—cate being taken to
"ttard against fraudulent invoices nnd under
valuation, and to assess the duly upon the actual
market value,
Cih. That tho duties should be so imposed as
in operate as equally as possible throughout tho
Union, discriminating neither for nor against
any class or section.
{Vo horizontal scale of dul’res is recommend
ed : because such a scale would be a refusal
allowances in lieu of this drawback of the duty,
both which expenditures'would full wiih a re
peal of the duly—which repeal, therefore, can
cause no considerable reduction of the revenue.
Salt is a necessary of life, and should be as free
from tax as air or water. It is used in large
quantities by the farmer-and planier; and to
tire poor ties t ix operates most oppriesrivc/y, J
not only in ihe use of the article itself, but us
combined with sajied provisions.; The salt
made abroad by. solar evaporation is also most
pure and wlioiesome, aiitl, as conservative of
health, should‘be exempt from taxation.
The duly ou cottoA-buggirig s equivalent to
55.20 per cent, ad valorem on the Scotch bag
ging, und to 123 11 per cent, on the gunny-
bag ; and yet the whole revenue from these du
ties has fallen to $66,064 50. .Nearly the en
tire amount, then fore, of this enor.noiri tax
makes lip addition to the revenue, but enures
to (ho benefit of about thirty mam f cturers-.—
As five-sixths .of ihe coiton crop is exported
abroad, the same proportion of Hie bagging a-
round the bale is exported, arid sold abroad at
a heavy loss, gr aving nut of a deduction lor
fare. Now, as duties are designed to operate
only on tire .domestic conaumption, there Might
to be a draw-back of tbe whole duty on cotton- :
bagging re-exported around the bale, on lire j
same principles on which drawbacks ore al- j
lowed, iu-other case 1 -'. The collon plaining is
the great exporting interest, and suffers from |
the tariff in the double capuci'y of consumer ;
and exporter. Co'lbn is the great basis of our
foreign exchange, furnishingmost of the means
to purchase impoitsand supply the revenue.—

riff—to equalize its operation; and make it ap
proximate us nearly as may be to a system of
taxes in proportion to property—tf.e duties
upon luxuries, used almost exclusively by ilia
rich', should be fixed at the highest revenue
standard. This would not be discriminating
indiivoT of the poor, Ihojvevbr just that might
be* w Wfin the revenue limit; but it would
mitigate, as far its practicable, that discrimina
tion agatiist the poor which' results from every
tririffj by compelling them to pay a larger

Ati appeal has been made to tho poor by
the friends of protection, oa the ground ihet it
augments the wages of lnbor. in reply,'it is
contended that the wages #F iuber have not
augmented since tho tariff" of lfc 12, and that in
so lire cases they havecKlhinished.
