November 25. 1845- 9 if \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.— It is thus tire source of two-thirds of the reve- ; nue and. of our fo.icign freight aud commerce ; upholding our commercial marine an J mari.tim: ; power, ft is also'u bond of peace with for- 6?gh nations, constituting a stronger preventi ve, of war than armies or navies, forts oi arma ments.

Accompanying the drawback ot 'lie duty on collon-bagaing should Ire lire repeal of the dutv on foreign coiton, which is imperative and delusive, and not desired by the domestic producer. 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 amounf of the taxes than if assessed kind col lected on ell property in pre--portion to its val-. ue. In accordance' with these principles,- it is heheyt d that the largest practicable portion of (lie aggregate'revenue should be raised by maximum revemieduties upon Kixures, wheth er grown, produced, or munufaeui’ed; at homo Or abroad. 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. Where the number ofinamriactorics is not great, the potter of ihe system lo n.-golale the wages of labor is ii ctisideruble ; but as lire profit of capital invested in mb'ufiiiSturts is au si (Rented by the protective tariff there is a corresponding increase of potve. - , uiml tire 'control of such capital over tire wages' of la- bor be cum is irresistible.
