Report of the Senate Committee, on the
Tariff, made NOV. 10, 1862.
70 the HON. Seuat, nov in session
The subject of a Tariff we regard AS one OF
immense Importance. IN connpxion with tine
growth and prosperity the United States. bnt
more particularly so with lerard 10 ,hc New
England States, whose success is Intimately
connected with. and in great measure dernn-
dent upon, the prosperity of The mauufactur,uu
interest. The subject is one, however. in its
various details and appcaton. upon which
there is great diversity of opinion not conIin-
ed to either of the great political parties of the
prespnt day, aud Which has occuped the atten-
ton Of some of the most nfled men of the ave,
who have devoted themselves to thorough in
vestiration and knowledge OF it, and have pub
IlShed TO the world such detailed statements Dt
statistics, and such conclusive arguments. as
ought, we think, to have settled The question in

that we think it cannot be expected that we
should 90 into a detailed report Of statistics and
arguments in support of our views, but bv ex-
aiming some of the prominent points in the
great question, make such brief general re-
marks as may serve perhaps in some manner
to express the feelings Of this Senate. and we
hope of large majority of our constituents.
1t is we'll understood by those who have been
so unfortunate as to have their propertv invest

country that the tariff of 1916 tbourl, admit
