THE ANNUAL 17EPOR2S.

REPORT OP THE HON. DAVID A. 'WELLS
SPECIAL REVENUE 00.5111ISSIONER. ,
EFFECT OF SHIPBUILDING AND COMMERCE.---It
is in respect to the absurdity, as well as the utterly
disastrous influence of carrying out the principle of
universal and indiscriminate protection that the illus-
trations are the most numerous and significant.
What, indeed, can be
_more instructive •than the
lessen afforded by the present condition of the ship-.
building interest and the foreign commerce of the
United States? To-day, speaking generally in re-
spect to ocean traffic, we cln neither build, buy,
nor sell an American vessel. This result is ob-
viously due in no small part to the fact that while
protecting the ships we have also protected too
nearly an equal degree the separate constituents
that enter into the construction of ships, viz., the
timber, the iron, the copper, the cordag ~ and the
canvas ; flout these two ag,mcies have so far nen-
traliz'c 1 af,d couater!.-ialance(l eaeh other that neither
party, withiu tl,i3 particular sphere of industry, has
heeci bcoefiteil.

TAXA HON AND ENHANC:::M•:NT OF Tus; l'ntcE OF
L.1711:211. —We s-lect, as an illustration, the article
of lumber, on whi.th the Government levies a duty
of 2') per cent., ad valorem ; which rate, by the ad-
di:ion of the percentage which the importer almost
invariably ',•ill aid by reason of the payment of
the duty, may probably be considered as equivalent
at the present time to 20 per cent. Now, the in-
creasing necessity and use of this indispensable
article is such that the demand for the last few
years has been fully equal to or has tended to ex-
ceed the supply, which in turn has resulted in con-
stantly augmented prices ; the price, for example,
of the cheapest varieties of lumber is the Albruay,
New York, market having advanced since 1861
about 100 per cent. The next invoice value of the
importation of rough lumber, during the fiscal year
1868, was about $7,500,000 ; while the value of the
domestic product for the same period, or that part'
of it which entered into competition with this fo-
reign import, may be approximately estimated at
51,000,000. For every dollar, therefore, that is
taken in the form of a direct t tx, seven are taken
indirectly through the increase of prices; or, in
other words, $2,250,000 currency are received into
the Treasury at an indirect cost of about $16,000,000.
And this is not all. Thirty per cent. on the is-
creased price of lumber means 30 per cent. in the
increased price of houses, 30 per cent. in the in-
creased price of vessels, of fences, of railroad ties,
and other constructions of which wood is the prin-
cipal constituent.

TAXATION ON PIG IRON.—Again, the article of
pit; you affords a striking illustration of an instance
where a duty originally levied for revenue and pro-
tection, or as an offset to internal taxes, has been
continued long after its object has been fully at-
tained, for the interest of the few, but to the detri-
ment of the many. The existing duty on pig iron
is $9 gold, equivalent to over $l2 currency. The
average expenditure requisite to produce a ton of
pig iron in the United States :to-day may be fairly
estimated as not in excess of $26 per ton currency,
and in the case of furnaces favourably situated as
regards cheap coal or ore, and under good manage-
ment, the actual cost, could it -be truly ascertained,
would not probably be found in excess of $24.
Now, the selling price of Nos. 1 and 2 pig iron in
the markets of the United States at present, and
for the last year, has ranged from $37 to $42 per
ton, with a demand continually tending to exceed
supply. Under these circumstances the manufac-
tures of pig iron - have, to the detriment of the
rolling-mill interest, and to the expense of every
consumer of iron from a rail to a ploughshare, and
from a boiler plate to a tenpenny nail, realized con-
tinued profits which had hardly any parallel in the
history of legitimate industry, the returns of one
set of furnaces in one of the middle States, com-
municated to the commissioner, showing a yearly
product of 35,000 tons, on a capital of $450,000,
sold at a profit of from $lO to $l3 per ton. The
Commissioner, as he writes (November, 1868), has
before him letters from the rei resentatives of the
bar and sheet iron interest in nearly all sections of
the country to t',is effect:—" Oar works are busy,
but not remune7ative. The profit of the iron in' nu-
fact ire is all absorbed by the inanufay.:urers of pig
metal. Our only hope is an equaliza ion, and in
a fair it.crease of protection by Congress at its next

session."
