But Sir there remains TO be pr, sen'ed a view fihs
subject very little considered heretofore, either in this
country in Europe, which will exhibit The unequal
and rressive ope alton Of this Cover nment in
striking light when this il taken into the estimate the
committee will perceive that have been quite within
the mark in assuming that the staple growing S,a,es
burthened in proportion To the amount oil duties Ie-
We'd upon their Next TO The unequal exact
tons Of Government, nothing he more distressing
country OF such vast extent than the unequal dis
burscment of its revenues. Great as l have shewn
the inequality 10 be- in The contributions EXISTED lion
the diff, rent section OF the Unon the inequality Of the
disbuls Of the Fedora Governm ent is si mucn
greater South Of Mo- olkthrough the entire region,
extending thence South cud Southwest, aong the At
lantic and Gulf OF MeXico--a region which cot-
tributes iwo-thirds OF the revenue Of the whole Union
there is not annually expended average sum Of
five hundred thousand dollars Now, sir, do not
mention this unequal disbursement Tor the purtose OF
comp lanng Gift, much witha visw to explain the
actual injury and suffering which resuttr it. do We
ry believe, then, tina, TAX Of ten millions OF dollars ex
pended among those by whom il is contributed, would
not be more bur'hensome and oppressive than tax
OF FIVE millions of dolsrs expended in foreign coun'
try or distant portion Of the Union. In other words,
believe any State, Pennsylvania for example, would
find it advantageous pecuniary speculation 10 pay
million Of dollars the Federal Treasury annually,
upon the condition that the Federal Government should
annually dsburse millions OF dollars among The peo-
pie OF tina, State in the purchase OF grain, iron, manu-
lectures and such other productions az are there ad
for market 1t il obvious that demand would be
annually created for million vi dollars worth OF the
productions OF Pennsylvania, and value there by
given to those productions 1t would Of course give
the highest possible stimulus 10 productive industry
and the end oil the the aggregate wealth OF The
State would be increased more than il wSud b. 'limn
ished by this fiscal operation, of paying one million IL
taxes and 70 ceiving two millions in disbursements
The most striking example OF the influence OF Govern
ment disbursements of which history has ket any re-
cord and that which frs; drew my attention to The sub
ject is that exhibited by Great Britain in The war a
& inst the French Republic and the French Empire
The extraordinary financial resources OF Great Britain
that even,fu str, gge, have excited the wonder an
admiration Of the world scarcely less than the unpar
leed military achievements and extensive conquests
the Emperor Napoleon. The spectacle OF nation all
nuslly EXP. Mir .one two hundred millions of dollar
and We, hourishirg almost beyond any former examy,
seemed almost to b,fIie the p oioundest speeualions
political philosophy.
