THE REVENUE. other view of the subject, to be most desirable that each branch of the Revenue of the United Kingdom should henceforth be united under bne management. Of the superior advantages of unity of direction and con sequent uniformity of practice, when contrasted with the•ex isting diversities both of authority and regulation in the nagement of these Revenues, whether the comparison be made with reference to an efficacious collection, or to the convenience of the various classes of the community by whom they arc contributed, there can exist, we apprehend, no reasonabledoubt. In- the course of our investigation, we•have had ample oppor tunities of Being made acquainted with the vexations and am ; barrassments occasioned by the different methods of inanaging the Revenue in the several parts of the United Kingdoin. At the ' limits of each separate authority, the freedom of commercial , intercourse is embarrassed and checl&d, not only by the re peated and unavoidable interferences of revenue officers, but ' by diversities in the methods of classing and dendminating the . various articles subject to duty; by differences in the principles on which that duty is charged anti levied ; by variations in the construction of the same laws ; and, above all, by the different • degrees of strictness and impartiality with which the public in come is collected in Great Britain and Ireland respectiVely.__ These inequalities and discordances, which are the necessary . ,consequences of divided authorities,. operate to the discourage merit of that commercial enterprise and industry which are among the main springs of national welfare, and constitute the most fertile sources of the public income. Of these various consequences of a two-fold system of re venue, in the same kingdom, the' unequal application of the law is, perhaps, the most prejudicial to commercial enterprise. In its effects it has all the evils of partial and ill-adjusted taxa lion, bearing with an unequal pressure upon members of the same community, and that, too, in a degree /midi more inju rious than if directly arising from th e illy itself ; because, lay, • its uncertainty, it defies calculation, end counteracts among those engaged - in trade all the principles of fair competition. With respect to the intercourse between Great Britain and Ireland, it has the effect of defeating tie purpose for which the • countervailing duties were imposed. Those duties being fiktal. With reference tp the nominal and legal rate of taxation, upon - all articles - not taxed alike for consumption in the two countries,, .were intended to aftbrd . the means otanutually interchanging them on terms of equal advantage. But it occurs too frequently in the collection of the internal chides in Ireland, that those which are imposed by-Parliament are not those which are ac tually levied, and the countervailing duties are thereby ren dered inadequate to their object. . In some branches of theeross Channel commerce, the spirit of enterprise has been greatly rep resse d by theseirregularrties and difficulties ; the manufacturer and trader haVe in many in stances been driven into courses which, unshackled and at • - liberty, they would never, have pursued ; the importation of some articles has been necessarily.abandoned • and at this very time these anomalies' in the construction an d the execution of the laitea'ppear likely, if not remedied, to lead to. the entire subversion.of one considerable branch of manufacture in great Britain. To that case we shall have occasion to advert in another part of the present I/eport : and the more full develop ment of the genCial•oliStructions and impediments proceeding from this source, will belong to the Report upon the Coun tervailing Duties which We arc about to submit, to your Lord ships. These are . great defects in matters of high natioal import ance, and it is difficult to 'determine whetherahey operated, most 'injuriously upon the interests of, the Revenue or the transac.- tions - of the subject: In reference to each, a speedy and effi cacious remedy is equally called for, as it Ins not, more Orntial . that the taxes should, by a vigilant, .economical, and - impartial' collection, be made alike prod uc ti ve in every part of the United Kingdom, according to the provisions of the law, than that they should be so levied a s t o press with the smallest degree of. vexation and severity upon individuals, which can be made with . the seem, zayinent of so large a. contribution to thekeigences of the country. ' Although these considerations, arising' out of the evils of a divided authority, would alone furnish sufficient, motives for 'the• consolidation which. 'we recommend, as -the only means. of effecting the assimilation Of p rac ti ce contemplated in the Act bywhich we are appointed; other reasons for adopting that course; scarcely less powerful, have suggested themselves,. and other defects Will he fannil, for which it will afford the, best, if not the only remedy:`" These exist in the 'actual state of the Irish Revenue Departments, which is such as to render a fun damental reformation of them a measure, _in our judgment, of indispensable necessity. . In offering this opinion we• advertat - present more particu larly to the departments of the Customs.and Excise, to which our' inquiries while in -Ireland• were chiefly.-directed, and to which our recommendations in this Report 'will therefore be confined.' • The voluminous mass of documents, which form the Appen-: dix to this Report will be -found. chiefly . composed of the evi dence obtained through an inquiry 'which preceded ours, and 'also by ourselves, relating to these two departments ; they will skew in minute detail the n a tu re an d extent o f t he establish menta.of each of them - in 1819, the retrenchments adopted be 'tween that period and-the year 1821, and - the present state of them.according to thelatest eeturns which.have - been made to • us. They will also be found to contain. all thevbservations: of the - Commissioners of the Customs in Ireland upon the'iarious alteratiOnitsuggested in consequenee of the proceedings to .which we have advelied, that Bciard - having met the inquiry with the manifestation of a ready disposition to second the wishes of the Government.. 'l•lie Board of Excise, on the contrary, appear to have submitted to it with much difficulty and reluctance. After carefully-weighing the whole - of the information - derived. from theSe sourets,• and 'from - - our immediate examination of many persons con'lpetent to afford the best information concern ing these..tivo great branches - of the Irish revenue, we are con strained to declare, with respect to the Customs, that notwith standing the improvements recently made in that department, it is stir :managed with much less economy and efficiency than the same revenue in England,;- and with respect to the Excise, that it is in so defective a state of management, organization, and discipline, as to render hopeless any attempt at permanent improvement, except through the medium of a general change. The' defects to . - which we, allude may be classed Oder the' general heads of , England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively, in the last four, years, the result is as follows: - BRITISH AND- AM ERICAN BOUNDARY', aid t t) crnan t n auge' SECOND REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON THE: PUBLIC REVENUE.

P•A ments _of the. Public Revenue arising in Great Britaki.— . In a preliminary Report, we stated to your Lordships that our earliest attention had been direCted to the subject pointed out in the Act by which we are constituted, as 'the primary ob ject of our appointment, " the assimilation of the made of charg ing, managing, and collecting the Revenue arising in Ireland, -to the mode which is practised in Great Britain." We at the same time informed your Lordshio, that we had , been engaged in the prosecution of an inquiry, concerning the duties and regulations which affect the commercial intercourse between the two countries, and which afford occupation to so large a portion of the establishment of the Customs in Ireland, that any new arrangement of that department must greatly de pend upon the footing on which those duties and regulations may hereafter be established. In pursuing this inquiry, we kept in view that part of our instructions in which the " modi fication of duties" is specifically mentioned as one of the modes by which the assimilation of the Revenues, or any improve ,meut in the aollection of them, may be effected, and upon which we are, therefore, to offer our observations and sugges tions, through your Lordships, to his Majesty and to Parlia ment. 139;51i 17/. 19s.

Our proceedings for ascertaining in what manner and by what changes . the first mentioned and principal object to which we have adverted might best be attained, .have led on to a full conviction that no new regulations could have the effect of creating k complete and permanent uniformityin the collection of the Revenues of Great Britain and Ireland, unless enforced in their practical execution by one undivided authority. It - has, therefore, appeared to us, that the intention of Parliament in this respect conld 'not be otherwise fulfilled tharay a very' :material alteration in the constitution of the Boads under which the several branches of the Revenue are at present administered. - With respect to the intercourse bet Ween Great Britain and Ireland, we have been equally convinced that changes scarcely less extensive and important are in :the highest degree desira ble ; and that a general &implication of the existing regulations, as well as a repeal of many of the duties, are required not more by a due regard to the economy of the.public service, than. by a just consideration of the -commercial and manufacturing in terests of the two countries. We have now, therefore, to propose those general measures which appear to us to be the best calculated for effecting these important purposes. It is almost unnecessary to observe, that all other improvements in the collection of the Revenue in Ire land, and.all reductions in the component parts of the esta blishments maintained for securing must depend greatly upon the degree in which these Suggestions widen embracew, large. a change in the constitution of th e whole, may: be adop - ; They will- &a comprised under the following heads 1. The incorporation of the British and Establishments for the collection.of the Public Income, in such a manner as to place each description of the Revenue throughout the Un4ed Kingdom under one practical management subject ,to the Para mount controul of your Lordships. 11. The removal of the obstructions to th e commerce betiAri Great Britain and, Ireland, arising out of the system of ditties and drawbacks to which it is now subjected, by such regulations • as may assimilate the commercial intercourse between the two islands to the communications between the several ports of Great Brjtain, and at the same time aflbrd the means of effect ing a consideraNe reduction in the Revenue Establishments of Ireland. 111. The abolition of tact of the duties imposed by the Act'. of Union on the importation of the produce or manuf a ct ures o f one country into the other; as apply to articles which either are not manufactured, or_ only to a trifling extent, in Ireland ' • and .the termination of the remaind e r" at earlier periods than those which are prescribed by the existing law. 23,369,8191 868 ,77 6 1 31.145. 3d.1 2,408,972 161,835 61. 14s. 3d 2,007,234 254,543 121.135. 3d. 24,575,46: 859 ,7 41 3/. 9s. 10d. 2,240,816 162,744 7/. ss. 3d. 2,032,324 254,445 12/. 10s. 4d. It must, however ; be admitted, that the inference which na turally Might be drawn from this comparison:is by no means conclusive. 71 7iprlivn of the higher rate of Manc,gement in Ire land is fairly to be justified' by the expense which a separate establishment for Managing a small 'part only ohlie general Revenue of the kingdom unavoidably creates, and aptytion also by local peculiarities, Which under any management would render the comparative cost of collection greater in Ireland than in England, But after making ample allowance for these'cir eumstances, there still remains a considerable difference whiCh cannot:satisfactorily be accounted , for. The comparison with ScOttand is also Unfavourable to Ireland; although the revenue of the Customs in Scotland is much smaller, the Ports of that country nore ilittherous, and the facility of contraband traffic greater,,tltelite of ManageMent is nearly tte same ; while in the tx.eise, the grosS receipts of which in the two countries are nearly equal, therate c management in Ireland is strikingly' higher,- • 4 0 ,YA.L FETE AT .

Such.being the. nature And magnitude.of the arrangements which we are induced to propose, we trust it will be superfluous 'to state; that- we luxe not, embraced the determination of sub mitting to his 31a,jesty and to Parliament the measures by which these important changes may be accomplished, without the most mature and anxious consideration of their manifold bearings and exten .:.ve consequences. For although it requires but a superficial view of the revenheand commerce of Ireland, in their present state, to perceive that nothing short of very gene ral alterations, both of system and practice, could effect the purpose of assimilating the former to that of Great Britain ; and of regulating the latter so as 'to establiAoh that unrestricted in, terchange of the products of British and Irish industry, which was justly contemplated as one of the greatest benefits to he derived from the Union : yet a nearer inspection developes also the many objections which will:naturally be' opposed to such general changes, some of which must come in conflict with existing interests of great weight and importance whilst others have to encounter the obstacl es , never to be disregarded, of deeply-rooted- prejudices and national feelings ; and all of them are exposed to such difficulties of execution as require that they should not be attempted, except with the greatest caution, and after the most mature deliberation. It was, therefore, not before we had carefully,weighed and examined these obstacles and impediments, and communicated with the official persons whom we deemed the most competent to appreciate both the advantages and the objections attending the measures which suggested themselves to us, that we re solved to submit them to your Lordships. In the progress of our inquiry each step has, however, tended to diminish ou r ap prehensions of the difficulties opposed to these comprehensive arrangements,whilst our conviction has been strengthened, that they afford the only means of producing a complete and per manent uniformity in the collection of the revenue, and of re moving the embarrassments at . present occasioned to the com mercial interests of Great Britain and Ireland. We now, therefore, lay them before your Lordships, with a thorough persuasion that every attempt to remedy the inconveniences and defects of the existing system, upon a less extensive principle, or to build a new one upon a less substantial foundation, must terminate in disappointment, and produce the usual effect of mere palliatives—that of ultimately increasing both thepeces sity and the difficulty of a more complete reformation. Our present Report will be confined to the first of the above.; mentioned general heads, and will exhibit the grounds upon which we recommend the inco r p ora ti on Of the'BritM‘and Irish Revenue Establishments, and the mode in which we conceive that it may be best effected with respect to:the ,Customs and Excise. If the Union of -Great Britain and Ireland could have been completed at once in all its parts, the same Act by which the Legislatures of the two kingdoms were united would probably have provided, as in the case of Scotland, for a similar union of their respective revenues. But it was not deemed consistent with a due regard to the financial and commercial relations of the two countries to carry that greatmeasure to so full an extent. The state of Ireland rendered an interval of some years necessary before that part of the United Kingdom could be justly required to contribute to the common expenditure at the same rates, or by the same modes of taxation as Great Brit a i n , an d a l so before the free in terchange of all manufactures could be permitted,without detri ment to existing interests of great imp or t ance on both sides.— Under these, circumstances the Treasuries of the t wo coun t r i es , although under the control of the same Government, continued distinct authorities ; and the several departments subor dinate to them, for the collection of the Revenue, continued to be distinct likewise. But when, by the Act of 1816, the Treasuries had been united, and the Revenues were so consolidated as to constitute only one - fund for the com mon expenditure of the United Kingdom, all necessity for a separate administration of those Revenues in Ireland was re moved ; -and if it should now appear that no ohject, either of economy or security, can be promoted by the continuance of distinct establishments for that purpose, iewould seem, in every • Persons better qualified in all respects for such a service could not have been - selected ; and iris an important advantage to us in the performance of the duty which we have now todis charge, that in forming our more - general views on the subject of the Irish ,Revenue, we are enabled to avail ourselves of the Minute inquiries into its details which those Gentlemen, from their practical knowledge, were so peculiarly competent to pursue. Their proceedings Were conducted under the immediate direction of the late Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, and their, Reports upon the two Departments now under - our consideration,' together with the d6cuments by which they are supported, exhibit the zeal and industry with which their re• searches were carried on, and contarti'abundant matter to war rant the opinions which they have strongly expressed respe c ti ng the state of Irish establishments. There could hardly, indeed, be a more striking and convinc ing proof of the imperfect condition of these establishtnerifs, than the very result and termination of that inquiry. 'After all the information which it produced, and all the suggestionS it gave rise to for the improvement of the Revenue I.)partments in Ireland, the Government found so much remainino'to be . done, that greater changes a pp eare d to b e necessary; and a fur ther investigation was deemedindispensalge. • The prosecution of that investigation has been committed to us, and we should ill discharge the duty thereby imposed upon us, if we hesitated to state our own clear and conscientious con viction of the necessity of those more extensive changes, parti cularly in two f 2 Preat branches of the Irish Revenue 'now under our consideration, the constitution and composition of which must underg6 a complete alteratkin, beforelhe management of those departments can be placed upon such a footing as the in terests of the Revenue and the accommodation of the public imperatively require. Under the head' of expence, the Wide difference between the rates of management in similar derailments of Great Britain and Ireland,' affords a Strong jiresumption at least of improvi dence in the management of the latter.
