The prcbablc cfi'cct cf tho ftituro opemlion
ofthc act of ieS3 upon Ihc manufactures and
ihechanical tradcs of thc country, particulafly
if no hcme valuation bo fcund, makcs thc in
quiry tooimportant lo bc ovcrlookcd.
lt is fully acknowledged that all dutfcsUiould bc
laid with priniary rcference to revenue ; and ii
is admitfcd, withnut hcsitation or rcscrvc, tha(
no mcrc moncy thould bc raisedj under any
pretcr.cc hatcVcr, Iban such an amounl as is
licccssarv for an cconomical administration of
thc Government. But wilhin these limits,
and as incidentalto thc raising ofsuchreve
nucs ishi'av bcabsolutcly ucccssary. At isbe.
hcvf:d that diserimination may bc made, and
imnr.sml in such manncr as that.whilo no

ivhile thc who'.e countrv willbc rendcredmorc
prcsperous in pcace, and iniinitcly strongcr
and Lcttcr prcparcdif forcign war should
conic upon us. Thc principlc of discrimina
tion has obtaincd from the period of thc fouu
i!al:on of thc Government. In many cases
it tnay bc found to bc indispcnsablc to
thc iiitcrcsts of thc rcvcnuc, if in fixing a
systeni of duties it it consUts with lhe
truc pohcy ofthc country so to apportion
them among thc various spccics of imports as
to favor our own manufacturcs at thesamc
limc that tlic rcvcnuc itsclf is bcnefittcd, and
noinjusticc done toany. it would sccm propcr
-and wiso to rcject nrbitrary limits and thc idca
of a forccd and unnatural uniformity.
Thc undersigned feclt no difFicdty in ad
mitling that a duly of tiventy pcrccnt ad valo
rcm, assesscd upon thc valueof importcd nrti
cles in our oivn ports, would in mauy in-ta!ices
bc a ratc sufficicnly liighfor tlic bcncfit ofthc
rcvcnuc and also aflbrd rcasonable encourage
mcr.t to home producers of the articlcs. As lo
lhoe, thercfore, the object of the act of 1S33
will bc accomplished, if its provision for home
i-alualiou bc carried out by Congrcss. But ho
still supposcs that there arcseveral descriptions
ot imoried manufactures and producc, which
would well bcar a higher duty tlnn twcniy pcr
rent. upon thc home valuc, and thus yicld n
grcater revenue, to tho Government, white, in
regard to somc of thcir., it will bc found thal,
wilhout such incrcased duty, thc labor oflarge
classcs, engagcd in producing similar artic'cs,
will be greatly deprcsscrf, if not cntirely sun
nlautcd. It is niiqucstionably true. anu well worthy of
inmarl;, that tlic act 1833 uas avowedly con
servaiivc in its objecls nnd charactar; and,
v.hile it was dcsinncd to rcmovc what was cs

to ra:su thc pnco at thc placc ol sale as to ui
iniui&h it at the nlacc of production.
Now thc grcat law which rcgulates priccs, by
c'emand and supntv, is sternty obscrved in cases
of forcign importation as in this inttancc of
dompatic tradc. llic undcrsigneil cannot lor.
becnoadd, that vastly thc grcater poition of
thn agricuhural population ofthc unitcd biatcs
is obligcd to rcty mainly upon thc honic inar

part of thosc products, (wheat for insia icc,) is
