December 3, 1845. J
Mininums are a fictitious value, assumed l>y
law, instead of ttie real value; and the opera
tion of all minimumss may be illustrated by a
single exaaipfe. Thus, by the tariff of 1842.
a duty of 30 per cent, ad valorem is levied oa
all manufacturers of cotton; but the law fur
ther provides that cotton goods ‘‘not d\ed, col
ored, printed or stained, not exceeding in value
twenty cents per square yard, shall he valued
at twenty cents per square yard.” If, then, the
real value of the cheapest cotion goods is but
four cent a square yard, it is placed by the law
at the false value of twenty cents per square
yard, and the duly levied on the fictitious value
raising it five times higher on the cheap article
consumed by ihe poor, than upon the fine article
purchased by the more wealthy. Indeed, by
House document No. 306, of the 1st session of
the 28th Congress, this difference, by actual
importation, was C5 per cent, between the
cheaper and the finer article of the 20 per cent
minimum, 181 per cent, on the 30 per cent
'minimum, 48J per cent on the 35 per cent,
minimum, 84 per cent on the 60-per cent min
imum, and 84 per cent on the 75 per cent min
imum. This difference is founded on actual
importation, and shows an average discrimina
tion against the poor on cotton imports of 82
per cent, beyond what the tax would be if as
sessed upon tiie actual value. The operation
of the spec.fic duty presents a similar discrim
ination ugninst tiie poor and in favor of the
rich. Thus, upon salt, the duty is not upon
the value, hut it is eight cents a bushel, whether
| the article be coarse or fine—showing by the
j same document, front actual importation, a dis-
i crimination of 6 per cent, against the cheap,
! and in favor of the finer article; and this, to u
! greater or less extent, is the effect of all spe
cific duties. When we consider that $2,892,-
261 74 of the revenue last year was collected j
by minimum duties, and l,U85 46 by |
specific duties, the discrimination against the J
cheaper article must amount, by estimates desire no more, at least through the agency of
’•i ' enhancement is ceia! to fu; ditty; and if
Lb»rnftnn more
Iv here than abroad, the duty is inoperative.—
Tiie great argument for the tariff is, that f.tr-
i‘ign ialtor bein. cheaper itni'n our own, the cost
of fi.reign pr *d -ct on, it is s ,i,i, is lessened lo
tint e.Mi-n' ; and ilt.it we must t.-ake up this
difference by an equivalent duly, pud a corres
ponding en'iaiuvment of p tv, iu our own
market-, bulb of ihe tWeigti art c!u and of its
rival domestic pro net —thus r ti.icring the du
ty a t.i on ad consumers, for the b me fit of the
p olected cl tsses. If the M nsiial were sent
by ihe fedwial government to t-oilect a direct
ttv ujion the whole people, to be paid over to
iiijiiti.'iicturjng capitalists, to enable them to
sus'a it their business or real zc a larger profit,
it would lie the same in effect as the protecive
duty, which, when analyzed in ils simplest el
ements, and reduced to actual results, is a mere
subtraction of so much money from the people,
lo increase the revenues of die protected class
es. Legisl .lion for classes is against the doc
trine of equal rights, and repugnant to the
spirit of our free institutions, and* it is appre
hended by many, may become but anoiher
form for privtl -g<*d ttfdcrs, under ihe name of
proieolion, instead of privilege—‘indicated here
not by rank or title, but by profit dividends,
extracted from the many, by taxes upon them,
for ihe bent fit of ihe few. No prejudice is
felt by the Secretary of the Treasury against
manufacturers. His opposition is lo the pro
tective system, and not to clusses or individu
als. He doubts not that the manufacturers
are sincerely persuaded that the system which
is <*r source of so much profit to litem, is benefi
cial also to tiie country. Ha entertains a con-
trory opinion, and claims for the opponents of
the system a settled conviction of its injurious
effects. Whilst a due regard to the just aad
equal rights of all classes, forbids a discrimina
tion in fivor of the mnufncturers, by duties
above the lowest revenue limit, no disposition
is felt to discriminate against them by reducing
such duties as operate in their favor below
that standard. Under revenue duties, it is be
lieved, they would still teceive a reasonable
profit—equal to that realized by those engaged
in other pursuits; and it is thought they should
of fjfeh!
founded on the same document, to a tax of ■ governmental power. Equal rights and profits.
$5,108,422, exacted by mitiimums and specific i st} f’ ar a3 j aW;S are niade, best conform to the
duties annually from the poorer classes, by
raising thus the duties on the cheaper article
above what they would be if the duty were as
sessed upon the actual value. If direct taxes
were made specific, they would be intolerable.
Thus, if an annual tax of thirty dollars was
assessed on a*l houses without respect to their
actual value, making the owner of the humble
tenement or cabin pay a tax of thirty dollars,
nnd the owner of the cosily mansion a tax of
hut thirty dollars on their respective houses—it
would differ only in degree, hut not in princi
ple, from the same unvarying specific duty on
c leap as on fine articles. If any tliscrimina-
princ'ples upon which the constitution was
founded, and with an undeviating regard to
which all its functions should be exercised—
looking to the whole country, and not to classes
or sections.
Soil, climate, and other causes, vary very
much, in different countries, the pursuits which
are most profitable in each; and the prosperity
ofall of them will.he best promuteJ by leaving
them, unrestricted by legislation, to exchange
with each other those fabrics and products
which they severally raise most cheaply. This
is clearly if ustrated by the perfect free trade
which exists among all the States of the Union,
tion xlioulii i*e mutle, it should be tiie reverse an j foy die acknowledged fact that any one of
ol the specific duly, and of the minimum prin- these States would be injured by imposing du
ties upon the products of the olbcrs. It is
ciplo, by establisning a maximum standard,
above which value the duty on the finer arti
cles should be higher, and below which they
should be lower on ihe cheaper article. The
lax upon the actual value is the most equal, and
can only be accomplished bv ad valorem duties
generally conceded that reciprocal free trade
among nations would best advance the interest
of all. Hut it is contended that we must meet
the tariff of other nations by countervailing re
striction?. That duties upon our exports by
As to fraudulent invoices and under valuation, ; foivign nations are prejudicial to us, is conce-
tbese dangets are believed to be arrested efi'ec-
tu.tllv by the stringent provisions and severe
penalty of the 17t!i section of the tariff of 1842;
and now one-half the revenue is collected from
ad valorem duties.
At least twe-tbirds of ihe taxes imposed by
the present tariff* are paid, not into the treasu
ry, but to the protected classes. The revenue
fiom imports last year, exceeded twenty-seven
millions of dolhts. Th s, in itself, is a heavy
tax; hut the whole tax imposed upon ihe peo
ded; but whilst this injury is slightly felt by the
! marmfnclurers, its weight falls almost exclusive-
! iyupon agriculture, commerce, and navigation.
If those interesis which sustain the loss do not
| ask countervailing restrictions, it should not be
demanded by the manufacturers, who do not
feel the injury, and whose fabrics, in fact, are
not excluded by the foreign legislation of which

millions are paid to the government upon the
import?, and fifty-four millions to the prolecled
classes, i>i enhanced prices of similar domestic
articles.
This estimate is based upon the position that
the duly is a ided to the price of the import,
and also of its domestic rival. If ihe import is
enhanced in pi ice by the duty, so must be the
domestic rival; for, being like articles, their
price must be the sumo in the same market.—
The merchant advances in cash the duty on the
import, and adds tiie duty, with a profit upon
it, and other charges, to the price—which must
therefore be enhanced lo tnat extent; unless
the foreign producer had first deluded the duty
from the price. But tin's is impossible; for
such now is, and long has been, the superabun
dance of. capital and active competition in Eu
rope, that a profit of six per cent in any busi
ness is sufficient to produce large investments
of nvnev i» that business; and if, by our tariff’,
a duty of 40 per cent be exacted on the pro
duct of such business, and ihe foreign producer
deducts that duty from his previous price, lie
must sustain a heavy loss. This loss would
atai soon extend beyeml the stiles for our con-
sump-ion to sales to our merchants of articles,
lo he re-exported by them from our ports with
a drawback of duty, which would bring their
price throughout the markets of the world.—
But litis the foreign producer cannot afford.—
The dutv, therefore, must be added to ihe price
and paid by the consumer—the duty constitut
ing as much a part of the price, as the cost of
production,
if it he true that, when a duty of forty per
cent is imposed by our tariff’, the foreign pio-
ducer first deducts the duty from the previous
price on the sale to our merchant, it must be
equally true with a duty of one hundred per
cent., which is exactly equal to the previous
verv innocent, and contain not a particle of poison; but when ' • , , , , , , ; .

price lo nothing.
The occasional fall in price of some articles
afler a tariff’, is no proof that this was the effect
of the tariff, because, from improved machine
ry, diminished prices of the raw material, or
other causes, prices may fall even alter a tariff,
but they would in such cases have fallen much
more but for the tariff. The truest comparison
is between the present price of the same arti
cle at home an J abro ad; and to the extent that
the price is lower in the foreign market than
in our own, the duty, if equal to that difference
must to that extent enhance the price, and in
the same ratio with the lower duly. The dif-
ferenco in price at home and abroad is general
ly about equal tn the difference in the cost of
production, and presents in a series of years,
the surest measure of the effect of the duty—
the enhancement in price being equal t" that
difference if the duty be higher than that differ
ence or equal to it, or if the duty be lower, then
al restrictions and countervailing tariff’s enacted
at home. Commerce, agriculture, and naviga
tion, harassed as they may be by foreign re
strictions, diminishing tho amount ofexchangca-
ble products which they could otherwise pur
chase abroad, are burdened with heavier impo
sitions at home. Nor will augmented duties
here lead to « reduction of foreign tariffs; but
the reverse, by furnishing the protected classes
there with the identical argument used by the
protected classes here against reduction. By
countetvailing restrictions, we injure our own
fellow-citizens much more than the foreign na
tion at whom we purpose to aim their force;
and, in tho conflict of opposing tariffs, we sac
rifice our own commerce, agriculture, and nav
igation. As well might we impose monarchi
cal or aristocratic restrictions on our govern
ment or p -ople, because that is the course of
foreign legislation. Let our commerce be us
free as our political institutions. Let us, with
revenue duties only, open our ports to ail tbe
world, and nation after nation will soon follow
our example. If we reduce our tar.ft', the par
ly opposed to the corn laws of England would
soon prevail, nnd admit all our agricultural pro*
ducts at all tint- s freely into her ports, in ex
change lor her expoits. And if England
would now repeal her duties upon our wle at,
flour, Indi <n corn, and other agricultural pro
ducts, our own res'rictive system would cer
tainly be doomed to overthrow. Ifihe question
is asked, who shall begin this tvork of reciprocal
reduction? it is answered by the fact, that E“g-
land has already abated Iter duties upon mt»t of
our exports, yite, has repealed tiie duty upon
cotton, and greatly reduced the tariff upon our
breadstuff's, provisions, and o her articles; mid
Iter present bud harvest, accompanied by a ro- I
duction of our ttuiff, woulJ lead to the repeal of i
her corn laws, and the unrestricted admission,
at all times, of our agricultural products. Tiie

equal amount m value of any of our products;
and die shipment m i !e abroad of these products,
upon the same principle under which a draw
back of dunes is now allowed on the re-expor-
tatio.i of foreign it:;- *rts. This would be less
simple, and in n..t rucommendt d in lieu of that
absolute reduction of the '.'.ties, which will ac
complish t io .--u.t.o object of unrestricted ex
change. B;it such a provision would he a self-
t Xccuting reciprocity law, nnd -hon'd be desired
by those b- lieving in countervailing tariffs
against foreign nations, but in reeiproc.d free
trade with all—thus enabling our farmers and
planters to sell their products for cheaper fo
reign nianufictures, getting more for vvliut they
sell, and [laying less l'or what they purchase in
exchange. It seems strange, that while tho
profit of agriculture varies irom i to 8 per cent.,
that of manufactures is more than double.—
The reason is, that whilst tho high duties se
cure nearly a monopoly of the home market to
tho manufacturer, the farmer and planter are
deprived to a great extent of the foreign mar
ket by these duties. The farmer and planter
are to a great extent, forbidden io buy in the
foreign market, and confined lo the domestic
articles enhanced in price by the duties. The
tariff is thus a double bent-fit to ihe manufactu
rer, and a double loss to the farmer ami planter
—a bent fit to the former, in neat ly a monopo
ly of the home market, and in enhanced prices
of tbeif fabrics; and tho loss to the latter, in
the payment of those high prices, a: d in total
or partial exclusion from the foreign market.—
The true question is, whether the farmer and
planter shall - , to a great extent, supply our peo
ple with cheap manufactures, pumntsed abroad
with their agricultural products, or whether
this exchange shall be forbidden by high duties
on such manufactures, and their supply thrown,
as a monopoly, at largo prices by high tariffs,
into the hands of our own manufacturers.—
The number of manufacturing capitalists who
derive tho benefit from the heavy taxrs extract
ed by the tarifl'from twenty millions of people,
does not exceed ten thousand. The whole
number (including the working clusses engaged
in our manufactures) deriving any benefit from
the tariff, docs not exceed 40,000, of whom
not more 400,000 have been brought into this
pursuit by the Iasi tariff. But this small num
ber of 40,000 would atill have been in the coun
try. consuming our agricultural products; and
in the country, consuming our agricultural pro
ducts; and in the attempt to secure them as pur
chasers, so small in number, and not consuming
one-half the supply of many counties, the far
mer and planter are asked to sacrifice the mar
kets of the world, containing a population of
eight hundred millions, disabled Irom purchas
ing our products by our high duties on all they
would sell in exchange. The farmer and
planter would have the borne market without a
tar.ff; and they would have the foreign market
also to a much greater extent, but for tbe total
or partial prohibition of the last tariff.
\Ve have more fertile lands than tiny other
nation; can raise a greater variety of products,
and, it may be said, could feed and clothe the
people of nearly all the world. The home mar
ket, of itself, is wholly inadequate for such pro
ducts. They must have the foreign market, or
a large surplus, accompanied by great depres
sion in price, must be the resuit. The States
of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, if cultivated to
their fullest extent, could, of themselves raise
more than sufficient food to supply the enlire
home market. Missouri or Kentucky could
more than supply it with hemp; already tiie State
of Mississippi raises more colttn than is suffi
cient for all the home market: Louisiana is rap
idly approaching the same point as to sugar; and
there are lands enough adapted to that product
in Louisiana, Texas, and Florida, to supply
.vith sugar ond molasses neatly all the markets
of the world. If cotton is depressed in price
by the laritl’, the consequence must be a com
parative diminution of the product, and the
raising in its place, to a great extent, hemp,
wheat, corn, stock, and provisions, which other
wise would bo supplied by the teeming pro
ducts of tho the West. The growing West, in
a series of years, must be the greatest suffer
ers by the tariff, in depriving them of the fo
reign market, and of that ol the cotton-growing
States. We dementi, in fact, for our agricultu
ral products, specie from nearly all the world,
by heavy taxes upon al! their manufactures; nnd
their purchases from us must therefore be lim
ited, as well its their sales to us enhanced by
price. Such a demand for specie, which we
know in advance cannot be complied with, is
nearly equivalent fo a decree excluding most
of our agricultural products from tho foreign
markets. Sucli is the rigor of our restiictions,
that nothing short of a famine opens freely the
ports of Europe for our breads:;.ffs. Agricul
ture is our chief employment; it is best adapted
to our situation, and, if not depressed by the ta
riff, would be the most profitable. Wc can
raise a larger surplus of agricultural products,
and a greater variety than almost any other na
tion, and at cheaper rates. Remove, then,
from agriculture all our restrictions, and, by its
own unfettered power, it will brock down all
foreign restrictions, and, our own being remov
ed would feed the hungry and clothe the poor
of our fellow-men throughout ail the densely-
peopled nations ol the wot Id. .But now we will
take nothing in excbnnge for these product-* but
specie, except at very high duties: and nothing
but a famine breaks down all foreign rcstric-
tion-', and opens for a time the [toils of Europe
to our breadstuff's If, on a reduction of our
