should be imposed upon this article. a proper and legitimate
revenue duty
have not further time to examine this subject am
for discrimination in the assessment oi duties, and con-
tend that the frs; great object in this discrfminaifon should
be 10 make rhe taxes rest upon the wealth u me county,
that government expenses should be sustained by caPluh
and wealth. and not by labor. This Is the principle we
have adopted in the Imposition OF orr taxes ~ tbe s"tes'
and the same principle should be adhered TO IN the laying
Of duties for the support Of the general government As lar
a. practicable. The system of the assessment of duties,
so as to rest upon the labor Of the country, Is radically
wrong, and should b. changed.
4 do not approve Of ali the features m this bhi neiof"
us-the duties on some articles are too high, and on ON
es to low nor am | willing to rush 10 extremes on ih-
subject The truth n, that on some ARTICLES ~ tis e"un

think may be demonstrated.
