AS she internil fixes were calculated
to effect the interest by increafiag the
expence, requ-fite to gratify the propen
sity of a par of the nation to luxurious
excels, they have ca% been nude by
mlreoiefeutation, a tource of uneasiness
ahl Idcxitent. The real utility of tax

xv^fog to the imputing voice of the
of any party. H^ncEhave arisen
complaints, which never would have ex

taxes been perceived. Taele co up! vats
were coaftuTlv inflamed by the most ill
nature:! comments, wh ; ch the invention
of a partv, determined to acquire the di:
redton of the government, c mid lagged.
The conl°qu.-nce was an infurrettion, to
lu;)p els which the nation vis lobjected
to ai expence, equal to two years reve
nue ofthfle taxes. —But nMvithil inding
this opoofition there lei aTnmdlration

beneficial to the United States by in rea
fing the revealup as well as tending to
check the progress of luxury, the corrup
ter of manners, and diftroyer of nations;
T e prefect aJminift ation have done
nothing vghoutinventing a re if on, which
mav have the lemblance of plau ibility.
The reason they use in the prelent case
is, their desire to assist, and encourage
minufaaurcs oftheeonitry,becaute they
infill that these taxes have proved inju
rious to them. This idea, we bel^wg
will prove incorrect. The repeal indead
of promoting will not effect the manufac
tures, though it will injure the nation by
encourag ng luxury, or, at lead, dimin
ilhmgthe expeilce, necessary for the in
dulgence of It.
The progress of nations from weakness
to power, and from power to weakneG
and deft action, has ever been fimhar.
The clouds of barbarity are illuminated
by the dawn ofeivijization ; civilization
is succeded by refinement ; refinement is
attended Dy luxury ; and luxury termi
nates in national degradation and rum.
This prog effive movement, contmtiy
attending humnn naturein its facial con
. nections uuolouotedly greatly accelerated

which may be adopted by a government.

gour tothe body politic, while another
will produce a premature decline. Tax

^luxurious. lithele principles are

those that increase the public revenue,
but ate hurtful to commerce and manu^

without increasing it; and those that
lessen the public revenue, and are also
hurtful to Commerce and manufactures.
The duty on coaches is placed by the
fame writer in the firft clals ; and totbat
it most unquestionably belongs. The
fame reasons will place in the same class
the duty on diftileties, loaf sugar, stamps,
and the other taxes, which were repeal
ed. The taxes were laid on such articles
as cotfid not diminiih exportation, and
consequently injure the manufactures of
the nation. But granting, which is not
true, that thej injured manufaciuixsdhe

ifederalifts in C >ngrds attempted., but
could not obtain from the oppofirirc. of
the friends of Mr. J fferfon, nil further
thlcover the impolicy, nay irjuftce of
. repealing them. Lord Kaimts, the wri
ter, we have quoted, fays, " 1 am griev
“ ed to obterve, that we Rave many taxes
" detrimental to the State, as being more
“ oppressive upon the people, tinin gam
-66 ful to the public revenue. Mutp.'i
" ed taxes on the neceffnies of Ife, ca»
" dies, soap, leather, ale salt, ^c. race
" the price of labour, and eonfequently
"of manufactures. If they shall have
" the effect to deprive us of foreign mar
" kets, which we have region to dread,
" depopulation and poverty tnuft ensue.
" The fait tax in particular is eminently
" detrimental. With icipect to the oth
“ er taxes, mentioned, the rich bear she
« greatest burden, being die greatest con
" turners ; but the (lure thev pav ofthe
" Lit tax, is very little, because they rc
" jed: fait provisions." This reafomog
is applicable to foobea tea and brown iu
gar as well as to fall. Taxes on them
necessarily raise labour, and an increased
price of labour must obstruct the advance
ment of manufactures. The purchaser
of these articles, the use of which has be
come indil [Deniable to the laboKu^ poor
, has not only to pay the duty imposed by
government ; but such additional incer
eft, contained in the price of the mer
chant, as will indemnify him against ad-'
