Mr.. Websssr's Resolutions. The following are The
Resolutions introduced by Mr.. Webster into the Sem
ate ON the 10Th ins,.. as mentioned il Iasl So
Resolved, That The annual revenues nf the
county ought mot 7" be allowed TO exceed
n lust estimate Of the wants Of the Cavern
msnt: and that as soon as il shall be- ascrr-
tanned with reasonable certainty that the rates
Or duties on imports, as established By the
act of JuIy IL, 1889, will yield AN excess over
these wants, provision ought 10 he made for
their reduction, and that inu,aking this redlic-
tim. lust regard should be had 10 the various
interests and opinions IF different parts OF the
couniry, SO as most e6ectually to preserve he
integrity and harmony Of the Union, and to
provide for the common defence and pro-
mote the general welfare tsf the whole.
But whereas it is certain that the diminl-
ton Of the rates of duties on some articles
would increase, instead of reducing the ag-
gregate aslnunt of revenue collected on such
Articles; and whereas, in regard 10 such arti-
cles as It has hern the policy ofthe country 10
protect, slight reduction ON ODe might pro-
dnce essential injury, and even distress TO
large classes Of the community, while anOther
might hear larger redactinn, without any
snch consequences: and whereas also. there
are many articles, the duties on which might
be reduced, or altogether abolished, without
producing any other effect than the reduction
Of revenue: Therefore, ,A
Resolved, That 10 reducing the rates Of du-
ties imposed on imports by the Act of the
18th july aforesaid, It Is not wise or judicious
to proceed by way of an equal reduction per
centum on all articles, but that as well the
amount as the time of reduction ought 10 be
fixed, in respect 10 the several articles, dis
tincsly, having due regard, in each case. to the
question. whether the proposed reduction
will affect revenue al0re, or how far il will OPP
crate ipjnri0nsly on those domestic manulac-
lures hitherto protected; especially such a

have been established IN the faith III existing
laws ; and abHSe ali, how far such proposed
reduction will affect the rates Of wages, and
the EARNINGS nf American manual labor.
