with abfolute precihon but it can
not greatly deviate from the truth. 1t
proves that the poor Of America were
benefited more by the repeal OF the
internal taxes than they would have
been by a diminution of the duties on
brown fugar, bohea tea, falt and cot
fee. But, Independently of all this
reafoning, there was an inluperable
obitacle to the reduction of the duties,
created by thole very men who the
mott ftr0uouny urged it. The pro-
cceds of ,hofe duties were folemnly
pledged for the extinguilhment of the
public debt, foreign as well as domei-
tic. Where then was the boalted re-
gard of thelc men to the public faith,
which they had 70 often and 70 artful-
ly invoked ? Was it an idle dream OF
their fancies /? Was it talifman that
required the hand of a necromancer
to WELD Was it meant as kind of
charm to lull the fenfes of the nation
into that perfect confidence and un-
qualified lecurity, that always precede
the lofs Of liberty? CURTiUS.

they not only gain the annual FUN of
fixteen thoufand dollars by the repeal
OF the internal taxes, but-in addition
thereto, the annual fun of above one
hundred thouland dollars from the
million of dollars at preient derived
from duties on imports, paid by the
fouthern States beyond their quota,
according to their relative numbers.
6 Thele Natemepts are not made in
the leaf lpirit of murmur at the effects
OF the duties on imports on the fouth-
ern part of the Union. 1t is we'll un-
derfood that, however harfhly they
may appear, in the fra intance, to
operate, they do in faa benefit the
whole Union, and that while they
produce one disadvantage they infure
a greater benefit. They tend to fof-
ter manufactures and navigation in
thole parts of the Union, where thole
ernpIoyments are more lucrative than
agriculture, while agriculture is prin-
cipally attended to in thofe States
where, from the fate of lociety, it is
mott profitable. Though il be highly
deirable that the agricultural purluits
of our citizens fhould be cherilhed,
and extended to their utmof limit,
yet commanding conGderations, con-
neeted with national PROPERTY, re-.
commend the gradual cultivation OF
manufactures.
One ferrous charge remains to be
repel!ed. ltis alleged that the repeal
of the internal taxes operates to the
prejudice of the poor. Our road TO
a correct deciGon on this point rs
plain and open.
BY report of the committee of
Ways and Means it appears that the
permanent internal revenues were in
1901, 10000 dollars
Dedu6ting from this fun the ex-
pences of collection, amounting to
100000 dollars, there remained
100000 dollars revenue.
The opponents of the repeal, from
affected regard to the poor, recon-
mended, ii'aead of that meaiure, the
reduction of the exiting taxes on cof-
fee, brown fugar, falt and bohea tea.
Let US compare the effects of thefe all
ternatives.
To raifebyinternal revenues $50, 900
dollars, required taxes amounting to
100000 dollars ). while the rafting
500, 900 dollars by duties on imports
involved no additional expence.
The family of "a man in INDECENT
circumstances would probably con-

The whole proceeds of duties on
thefe four articles amounting 10 about
100000 dollars, a reduction OF

fun of one dollar and fifty one cents,
a reduction of fixtv-four cents, which

would coniiitute the amount of tax

II follows that the poor, infead of
being lofers, are actually gamers to
this amount by the repeal.
