On the discussion Of Tariff bill in 1889, Mr..
Madison, then in Congress, said:
''Ihe people adopted the ne,U Constitution,
believe, under a universal expectation that we
should collect higher duties. We must do this, if
we'mean to avoid direc. taxation, which was all
ways a means Of revenue in the particular
States"
The bill passed that year was approved by
Gen. w ashington on the fourth IF Juiy, and was
deemed second declaration Of independence
placing our commerce above the influence of Bri-
fish restrictions. The preamble to that lis in
the following words:
"Whereas it is necessary for the support of

Union, and the encouragement and protection nj
manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares,
and merchandise, mporied-Be it enacted" &c.
