THE permanent revenues of the United States,
according to the lass now in force, cortfilt of—
-Ift. Duties on merchandise and tonnage —2d.
Interned duties on Aills and domestic distilled
spirits, refined sugar, licences tb retailers, Giles at
auction, and pleafurabie carriges—3d. Proceeds
of the files of public lands—4th. Duties on pof
tage—jth. Dividends on /hares in the Bank of
the United States—6th Incidental, arising from
fees, fines and penalties, repayments in the trea
sury, and sales of public property, other than
lands*
Duties on Merchandize and Tonnage,
The receipts in the Treasury, arising, froth
that source, have amounted, for the year end
ing on the 30th September, 1801, to dollars
X0,X26,213 92. If to this sum be added the
drawbacks paid by collectors, on the exportation
of domestic distilled spirits and refined sugar,
which are » charge on internal revenues, and
that part of the additional duties laid in the year
1801, which did not operate during the year
to which those receipts refer; the sum which
would have been received, at the present rate of
duties,cannot be estimated at left than 10,500,000
dollars. The amount of duties secured on the
30th September last, and falling due in the
course of the year 1802, compared with that of
preceding years, juftifies an opinion, that, had
the importations and exportations continued in
the fame proportion, those duties would have
brought in the Treasury, during the year 1802,
near eleven millions of dollars.
How far this branch of revenue may be af
feded by the restoration of peace in Europe, is
rather a fubje& of speculative conjecture than
of calculation : That it will ba liable to sudden
and carfiderable fluctuations, fenot be doubt
ed; and for that realbn a greater degree of cor
re&nefs may be obtained, by forming ah tAi
mate for any number of years than for any one
y^" . ..
The period, for which fitch ah estimate
should be made, being arbitrary so far as relates
to the revenue ; that of the eight years 1802—
1809 is fele&d, principally in reference to the
payments to be made on account of the public
debt ; the whole of the foreign debt being ac
tually due within that term of years, arid the
eight per cent, flock becoming redeemable the
last year of the period.
The bate data on which the eflihiate may be
predicated seem to be the a&ual tonfumptibn
of imported articles during former years, and
the ratio of enercafe bf population, as afeertain
ed by the census.
With a view to the frft object, the datements
A to H have been abftraded from the records
in the Treasury. They exhibit the value or
quantities ofimported articles on which duties
have been actually paid for each calendar year
from 1790 to 1800, deducting from the gross
amount imported each year; the value or quan
tities of articles re-exported during the fame
year, which were entitled to drawback.
Those flatements do hot, however, few cor
rectly/ principally for the last years, the aCtuaM
annual amount of consumption, because, Ift, ex
portations to a configurable, but not precifdy
afeertained amotnrtj have taken place under
such circumftan^es as did not entitle the articles
exported to a drawback : and 2d, the atnount
. bf foreign articles remaining on hand at the
close of the year 1800, was much greater in
proportion to the refpeCtive population, than
that 00 hand at the commencement of the year
1790. Those causes which affect to an iocon
fiderable degree the years 1790 to 1792, and
but partially those immediately fucc^ding.
would, however render any deduction drawn
from those documents, in relation to the years
X 799 and 18io, altogether fallacious.
The preceding nine years may be
divided into diftind periods ; the firft,
from the ift day of January 1790, to
the lift day of December 1792, in
cludes the three years which immedi
ately preceded the European maritime
war ; the second includes the fix firft
years of that war, viz. frbm the com
mencement of 1793, ^ the *# °'
*798..
In order to obtain a diftiti& view,
for each of these two periods, of the
annual average consumption of foreign
articles, and of the annual average
revenue which, at the rate of the pre
sent duties, would have accrued there
on, the table (L.) has been prepared,
which ffiews that the nett ^^/revenue

duties, have accrued during each bf
those two periods, amounts on an aver
age, for the years 1790 to 1792, to
6,163,000 dollars : and for the years
1793 to 1798, to 8,350,000 dollars.
These sums constitute, not the receipts
in die Treasury, but the revenue winch
would have accrued during the respec
tive years to which they refer. The
firft may be considered as the revenue
accruing during the year <7§l : the
latt as that accruing during the year,
ending 30th June 1796; and as on ac
count of the credit given for the pay
ment of duties, the revenue accruing
during one year; constitutes nearly the
receipts of the year ending nine months
later, those two sums, and the receipts
of the year ending on the 30th Sept.
xßoi, as above Rated, may, without
material error, be considered as the re
ceipts, of three diftinft years, four years
and a half distant each from the other,
viz. Dolls.
For the year ending goth Sept. 179%, 6463,506
For the year ending 301 b March 1,97'8,350,000
For the year ending goth Sept. 1801, 10,500,060
The ratio of encteafe during th#
whole period of nine years, exceeds
Seventy per cent, whilst that of popula
tion, during the fame time, wax hardly
more than thirty per cent.
The ratio, of encreafe during the
firft period of so ur years and half, is
near 35 1-2 per Cent, and during the
last more than 25 1-2 per cent ; whilst
that of population, for each period, was
only at the rate of 14 per cent. The
greater ratio of cncreafe during the firft,
than during the last period of four years
and a half, is owing id the comparifog
in the firft, being between 1 period of
European peace, and a period of Euro
pean war, and in the last, between two
periods of European war.
The ratio of cncreafe of population,
being afeertained by the census to be at
the rate of 34 per cent for ten fears ;
if the encreafe of consumption thall be
supposed to be hereafter precisely the
fame as that of population, the annual
receipts of the eight years, 1802-1809,
may be estimated as nearly fifty per
cent greater than those of the years
1790-—T792, or at a sum of near
9,250,000 dollars, if that period be as
sumed as the basis on which to predi
cate the estimate. But if the calcula
tion shall be grounded on the revenue
of the years 1793—1798, the annual
receipts of the years 1802—1809
should be estimated as about 30 1-2
per ecnt. greater than those of that
period, or at about 10,900,000 dollars.
It seems that those two refpedive
sums may reasonably be considered at
the two extremes, which the average
annual receipts of the eight ensuing
years will not exceed. The firft cal
culation of 9,250,000 dollars, appears
to below the probable result, since, be
ing predicated on the consumption of
the three years preceding the Euro
pean maritime war, without any other
addition than that resulting from the
afeertained encreafe of population, it
rests on the supposition, that the per
manent wealth of the United States has
not, during that war, encreafed in any
greater proportion than their population
and that the whole of the external com
merce acquired during the fame period,
mud necessarily be loft by the return
. of peace amongst foreign nations.
Although, therefore, it is profuma
ble that the receipts of some of these
years will, from temporary causes, fall
below that sum, it is believed that, tak
ing the whole period of eight years, the
duties on merchandize and tonnage
may fafely be averaged at a sum not
left than 9,500,006 dollars.
As a minute investigation of the Sev
eral rates of duty now paid by the sev
eral species of foreign merchandize,
may, perhaps, fagged some advanta
geous modifications, a table of those
rates is annexed to this report.
Without any view to an increase of
tevenue, but in order to guard as far as
possible againtt the value of goods being
underrated in the invoices, it would be
eligible to lay fpecifit duties on all such
articles, now paying ' the duties ad valo
rem, as may be susceptible of that al
teration. Amongst such, the follow
ing have been suggested : Fruits and
spices, pickled and dried fifh, oil, glue,
Several species of drugs, watches, gun
powder and fegars.
Legislative provisions seem neceflar,
in order better to define the reftri&ions,
under which the intercourse with fe
