Thus it may be assumed that the whole cost
of the new Government will not exceed 81 800
900. OF this, $500, 900 are now raised by direct
taxation: leaving 81, 100000 to be produced by
q ajudicious Tariff. But South Carolina is actu-
ally paying every year to the General Govern
nent, in the way Of revenue, 81 900, 600, as
shown above. There could, at once, then. be a
reduction of the Tariff from 30 10 10 per cent.
which would give us the desired revenue.
Upon this reduction, foreign imports would
enter the ports of our State 30 per cent. chsa-
per than they do, or than they would enter the
ports of the United States. What would be the
effects of this upon our commerce and industry 2
These would increase beyond calculation. From
the large amount Of capital set aAoat in the State
and from the new impetus given to our Com
meree by the application of the principles Of free
trade, spirit of active improvement would
spring up in every branch of industry. Agri-
culture, trade, the mechanical arts, the facilities
for Education,-in short, all kinds of internal
improvements would multiply and flourish far
beyond what they have done in any period Of
our history.
In our next, we will take up the second branch
Of the argument.
