LII, the Intention Of the Committee oil Ways and
Mean, 10 introduce into the House of Representa-
,,es next week, q bill for the imposition OF duties
90 Tea and Coffee, and for additional duties on Ger
,so cher articles The bill will be matured by
III. Secretary Of the Treasury. and is intended to
mo- the falling credit Of the Government.
I csnDo. bring my mind TO the conviction that
Ts, add Coffee will be taxed. | do not believe
,s,t the dominant party, reckless and misguided
ptis will dare encounter the storm OF indignation
,l,t would follow the consummation of this meas
IA, Tea and Coffee are peculiarly the property
\ the moor man; they enter into his daily con-
,smn,ion. serve TO strengthen his labor, and 10 al
sv,s,e his cares. The rich can do well without
them. can find sufficient substitute; but to the
,oor man they are as indispensable as the AR he
ipbses. and Il possible, should be as free.
This Recommendation Of increased duties is
,ooles,;on Of the inadequacy Of the present Tariff
In puruAes OF revenue: as the passage OF the
Treasury note bill is Of the gross absurdlty OF the
sub Treasury. The whole legislation OF the pres
ta Congress will be recorded in our future Parlia-
uen,ary annals as characterized in one session by
Solish enactments and in the next by their rapid
and inconsderate repeal The business OF the
county, has been interrupted and agltated TO al.
