The following circular has been rd
dressed by the Secretary Of the Treasury
to a number ofthe prominent New York
merchants, which indicates that he H.
tends TO recomm end TO Congress some
alteration OF the present tariff:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Sept 90, '63,
Sir-The increasing revenue and ac-
sumulating amount of money in the
!. treasury, render il most probable that
the tariff will be made a prominent sub
ject of discussion and examination with
aview to reduction during the approach
ing session Of Congress.
In the meantime, and at as early day
as may be, am DESTROYS to obtain from
the most reliable sources the best infor-
nation of the working of the present
rates of duty upon the leading branches
Of industry of the country and oil the Ell
feet to be expected from the proposed
notifications.
Understanding that you take an inter-
est in this subject, and have given some
attention to it, and perhaps have been
i'm situations to place within your reach
very valuable information you will much
-obliee me, by communicating to this de-
partment, your views thereon, and by
furnishing lists OF articles now subject to
duty which according to such views
should be free, and other articles on
which the present duty should be redu-
ced.
The existing tariff having been de-
signed generally and substantially for
revenue and for fair and equal opera
ton on both, or between the various Sec
tons of the country and the various bran
ches of industry, the same objects should
undoubtedly be keptin view and the re-
auctions il any, should be so arranged,
as to afford an equal participation in the
benefit to every interest and TO every
section. Articles which enter into our
manufactures, and those which do not
come into competition with American
products, are those about which there
will doubtless be the least question.
Besides these objects in the proposed
reduction OF the tariff, ofsuch arrange
.ment as will afford proportional benefit
and relief, to every portion and interest
of the country, there is another which
Ought by no means to be disregarded; |
mean to abridge the labors of The GUS
tom house.
This object will be consulted by ad-
ding to the free list, Of articles of gene
raj consumption, and articles paying lit
tie duty, which but for this consideration
might properly be made subjects of rev.
.enue.
am very respectfully,
JAMES GUTHRIE,
Secretary Of the Treasury.
