The Secretary of She Treasury has written
q letter 70 the chairman OF The Committee
transmitting his views on the Senate biii IN

The Secretary SAYS:
Congress. at it, last session. repealed The
tonnag" tax on all vessels engaged IN the
cpastiug trade and fisheries; but the law -
silent in regard to foreign trade. iusIn;lCh
As the coaStwi-e trade is a close mouopol :,
being confined exclusively 70 American
vessels: while any vessels III the foreign
trade have to meet til" competition of YES
sells OF other countries. 1t would seem, that
is u measure of partial relief Of this cia>.,
of American shipping. The repeal of the
tonnage TAX should apply "a All vessels OF
the. United States i'll the foreign a. well a,
those grd II the coHStwi-e and domestic
trade Vessels belonging /" foreign nations,
which, under existing treaties are placed
upon the same footing a. our own, would
consequently he exempt from tir payment
