following resolutions upon the subject OF the TarH policy:
which laid the table aud on motion of Mir II, I,s
ordered TO I've printed -
Resided That The annual oftlc country ought
not TO be allowed to exceed just estimate of the wants of
the Government; and that as il shall be ascertain
c with reasonable certainty that the rates of duties on
imports established 10y the of Juy 1892 will Weld
over uoSe wants, prori-ion ought TO be made
or helr reduction; and that in making this reduction
Just regard should be had to the interests and op
mons OF different parts OF tho country most
ly TO preserve the integrity aud harmony of the Union
ind to provide for the common defence and promote The
general welfare of the whole.
But whereas it is certain that the diminution Of the
rates OF duties OH articles would increase instead of
reducing the aggregate Of revenue OH such ar
whereas in regard to such articles as il has
4
ton on one might produce essential injury and even dis
ress TO large classes Of the community while another
pear larger reduction without any such consequence
anu whereas aiSo there articles the duties on
which might be reduced, altogether abolished without
producing any other effect than the reduction of revenue
Resolred, That in reducing the rates of duties imposed
on Imports by The Act of the ll OF July aforesaid it is
not wise or Judcious TO proceed by way equal re-
ducton per centIsn all articles but that as well the
amount as the time OF reduction ought be fixed i'm re-
peet 10 me several articles distinctly, having due regard
IN each case, to the questions whether the proposed re-
auction VIII affect revenue alone how far it will ope-
rate injuriousy those domestic manufactures hitherto
protected; especially such essential in time of war
anu such also as nave been established the faith OF
sng laws; and above all, how far such proposed reduc
non VIII affect the rates of wages and the earnings of
I American manual Labor
ReSOiued, That il is unwise and iniudicous in rc,
ahng imposs TO adopt phn hitherto equally unknown
IN the history OF this Government la the practice of
all enlightened nations, which shall either
or propechvely, reject all discrimination on articles TO be
taxed, whether they be articles necessity or of luxury
OF general consumption, of limited cosumpton and
Whr'her hey be, or he not such manufactured and
produced at home and which shall couen all utes 10 one
/ equal rate per centIun all articles
ReS0iced, That since the peope of the limited Statcs
