Mr.. Clay's Opinions The Richmond ",
is engaged in detailing Mr.. CIay's opiuOs
the Tariff, SC. and presenting them ia ther,r
and honest meaning to the People of yiryinu
We have over and over again referred. Of
own personal knowledge, to these opinions, q
are glad that the Wing states them SO cor,c
and places them so fairly on their own meris
In order that there can be no mistake, 1t j, 81,
explicitly that son the question Of The Tar
Mr.. Clay. agrees with Mr.. Calhoun. that N
session of Congress is suitable tune for sud
modification as is called Tor by the near apua
Of the payment Of the Public Debt. Tie mod
cation, he conceives, may be either prOsp.etr!
to take effect when the debt is discharged, Or
there be any particular article, the duty On WIND
is burthensome, there might as to that duty,
an immediate reduction or abolition. AdsO,.
notice in any proposed change oil the Tariff is.
vantageous to merchant and consumer, am
would not be ilIegitimate for the treaty ma,
power to avail itself Of any proposed dislan,
iteration to secure in consideration Of it, NOR
vorable terms Of commercial intercourse viii |
reign powers. Hence, it would appear wise
defer the reduction to the period Of the 6nal
tinguishment Of thapublic debt.
Asto the amount Of reduction, Mr.. Clay& i
j, ought to be equal to the annual appropriate
ten millions to the payment Of the debt, that
preparation being no longer necessary when
debt shall be paid. This great reduction 1t
of opinion, ought to be effected BY an abOIn
or diminution of duties on articles not COMING |,
to competition with the produce Of our agm'
ture, or the fabric Of our manufacturer: IN ON
words; he thinks the principle Of protection OCs
to be preserved unimpaired, 10 its application
domestic industry; but at the same time, that },
more revenue should be collected Than is neess
~ to an economical administration"
Our readers will remember that this is precls
Iy in accordance with our frequent rebuks
the Richmond Enquirer, for urging against NJ
Clay the charge Of uttraism in his views with
ference to the Tariff: We shall see il the u
quirer does him justice.
