entered. and the national domain soon
cease to be source Of revenue. Thus,
by the present system, we are exhaust ut
ing this great fund for unnecessary re-
venue, instead Of preserving it, as pro-
posed by the committee, to yield a
smaller annual amount, but for a much
longer series Of years, SO as to render
an increase Of the tariff unnecessary.
When the tariff reaches its lowest STAN
dard, in ls42, the revenue derived
thercfrom cannot much exceed thirteen
millions Of dollars. Let SPECTATORS,
by that period, or shortly thereafter,
have entered all the public lands worth
selling at the minimum price, and an
increase Of the tariff becomes again in
evitable. The system proposed by the
committee will avoid these evils, by an
annual addition Of FIVE millions Of dol
lars, from sales Of public land, to the
revenue from duties on imports: ~
Having, as your committee hope,
demonstrated the beneficial effects up-
81 the whole Union of sales Of the pub
lie lands for settlement only, they now
proceed to the second branch Of the
subject-the reduction and graduation Of
the price Of thepublic lands. The great
argument heretofore urged against this
measure, has been, that it would throw
the public lands, atreduced prices, in
to the hands of spectators. This ar
gument, however, ceases to apply, un-
der the provisions ofthis bill, by which
the public lands can be sold for settle
ment only. The sales Of the public
lands operate as continual drain upon
the resources Of the West The tariff
upon imports has been greatly reduced,
but the general system Of reduction has
Wat hear permitted to apply To the re-
.liefof the Western people, by the re-
duction Of the price Of the public lands.

soriginating the system Of selling the
public lands, passed on the 20eh q May,
l7S5.J A this act the price was fixezl
III one dollar per acre. # this price
was not too greet for fresh lands then,
when the Cow nment was poor and
oppres BY Hheavy debt, II cannot
be considered as too high now, when
the Government y relieved from all
debt, and IS collecting large'dnneces-
sary revenue. Were we 70 propose 70
reduce the price Of fresh lands, never
offered for sale, to the price liked Tor
similar lands Dy the act OF l7S5sdhere
could be no just ground Of compIaint.
BENG, however, deeply soilcltous TO
obtain the support OF all the friends OF
moderate and gradual reduction, we
do not propose to reduce at present the
price OF public lands that have nevss
been offered for sale. Our proposition
is to reduce the price Of all lands that
now have remained, or hereafter shall
have remained. FIVE years subject to
entry, and less than ten years, to one
dollar per acreS ten years and less than
fifteen Years g aisa cents acrs=,
fifteen yearsaand less thantwenty years
to eighty cents per acre, twenty years
and less than twenty-five years to sew
enty cents per acre, twenty five years
and less than thirty years to sixty cents
per acre, and all lands that shall have
been thirty years and upwards subject
to entry, shall be reduced to fifty cents
Iper acre. AS, under this system, all
lands that have not been five years SUBJ
Iject to entry, will be sold at dollar
and quarter per acre, and at adollar
per acre from the fifth until the tenth
year, the average price at which the
public lands would be sold, would be
at least dollar per acre. It must be
