The Free Trade Question.

Each and every year upwards of three
hundred millions Of dollars must be raised |
in these United States for the support of
the General Government. There are two
ways of raising this revenue-the first,
by duties upon imports and exports, the
mode uniformly adopted since the forma-
ton of the Government, and the second
by direct taxation, the only alternative
if the first be abandoned. Under the
operation of our present laws, when du-
table goods are brought into the United
States, the party importing such goods
pays the amount of the duty imposed into
the Treasury, and in this way the reye-
nue. is raised. Whenever the present laws
are repealed and free trade is Inaugural
ted, foreign goods of any character will
be permitted to enter free OF duty, and of
course, to raise the s3OO,OOO,O00 reve-
nue. necessary to 'srun" the Government,
direct taxation must be resorted to. Then
our people would begin to fully appre-
ciate the glorious benefits SO much prated
of by our advocates of free trade. As
the Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that ,cten direct taxation IS resort
ed to, each State must pay according to
its population, without regard to its wealth,
we see at once, that, instead of decreasing
the burden of taxation, of which loud and
long complaints are now made, we an
crease our taxes more then four-fold.
, While there are not at this present time
j. probably two dozen farmers in this coun-
: ty who are conscious of the payment oi
anything in the support of the Govern
, ment of the United States, under the
workings of a direct tax every article oI
property belonging to him would be liable
: to nav tax, while the tiue silks laces, anc
,, other gew -gaws only attainable by the
. wealthy classes, to say nothing of the for
. eien wines and brandies, would not pay
,, cent of tribute. 1t is certainly true tha
the operations of direct tax would b.
: to the great benefit of the wealthy CLASSES
: lit would make the rich richer, and th
f poor poorer. Everything owned by th'
farmer would be fully taxed, while tn
} lordly owner of millions in cash an,
! stock and bonds, would escape with com
paratively small taxes. To thorough
carry out and make efficient the operation
,, ola direct tax, an U. S. assessor and
e collector, would have to be appointed fo
t each county in the State, thus creating a,
additional tax, to pay them for their serv
t ices, which the people would have t
: shoulder. 1t cannot but be plain to ever
: man gifted with common perceptive fac
Q ulties, that change from the presen
system of collecting revenue for the pul
s. poses of the Government would be preju
G dicial to the best interest of the poor mar
p Under system which has received til
y commendation of Washington, Jefferson
Is Madison. Jackson, Clay and Webster
;. and all the great and good men of th
early repablic, we have grown and fou
1t ished beyond parallel in the history
y nations, This being the case, we deem
u duty the Government owes to the who
o country to continue in force laws ths
l. have in the past accomplished such gre;
re and gratifying results.
