HOUSE OF REPKBSmTATIVSS.
Wednesday, January 18— Cominued.
Mr. Craifc's fpe«th continued.
He wag,afraid this view of the fubjcfl had not
fufficiently engaged the attention of #emlemen.
When he read the accounts in theytiblic prints ot
the flagrant att.uk made upon our commerce; when
he not only saw deprecations and spoliations com
mitted, but adual hoftilitiei threatened, he thought
there was serious grouud for alarm.
One of the strong eftobjc&ions to a direst tax was,
that we cou}d not expert immediate revenue from
that fourcc ; but the force »f this objection ap
plied with equal fttength to the adaptiop of any
energetic measure. If it required time to m?.ture
this plan, it was necessary to bepn it immediately,
that it might be gradually prepared, and ready
whenever ueceflity (hould impel them to have re
course to it ; for it would be preemption and the
height of folly to suppose, we (liould always be ex
empt from what was the common lot of other na
tions. The propriety of'the measure of enereafing
our revenue, had been agreed on all hands, how
ever gentlemen differed about the mode ef effc£iing
it. It appeared to him essentially necessary toori
ginate/ome plan of diredfc taxation to which the}
might resort. If it be admitted that such a plan
is necefTary, though not to foe carried into immedi
ate effect, the present queftioa ought to be agreed
' t0 "
If he understood the gentlemen from Nsw-York,
; New-Jersey, and South-Carolina, (Mr. Williams,
Mr. Henderfon, and Mr. Harper) all agreed, that
r further revenue was necaflary, and two of the gen
'. tlemen were in favor of originating a plan of direfl
' taxes. The question t«e<i refiilted, to what obji'ft
of direst taxation (hould they apply ? They weie
e an agricultural people, and the great capital of th«
country was in land. If a direst tax then mud be
e laid, land was the proper ebje& for it. He con
-11 lidered that the farmers, notwithftsnding their want
of ready mon«y, when compared with the inhabi
tants of cities, as possessed of great part of the
" wealth of the country, and that they ought there
fore to pay their quota of the public taxes. j
It might be necefTary, Mr. Cnik said, to exam
ine fomeoftheobjeftions which hadbeea madeto thii
system. And here he would oblerve that gentle
men ought not toexpeftany thing like perfeftioi
in any scheme of taxation. Taxes were only >
choice of evils ; they were unpleasant, but the;
vrere necefTary. It had been objcdled againltadi
re£t tax, that it was unequal on account of variei;
"• of population, wealth and fituation.—Gentk-me
had not been fatisficd with fuppofiog that a bad pla
might be adopted ; they had supposed the ver
worll to be entered into ; that the nffeflors to b
appointed would bethebafeft of men ; but he trufl
ed the committee who was charged with the bus
ness, would have the good sense to prepare such
plaa as ftituld be free from many objections whic
had been bro't againtt it. Mr. Craik differed i
opinion from the gentleman from South Carolir
( Mr. Harper) that this tax would bear hardefl u;
et on the farmeVs far removed from the sea coail. T'
believedrfhey would rather have the advantage th;
y ; otherwile, from the low value put upon their land
h- The expence of collejSioii had been urged as an o
jeftion. He had been much surprized to he
gentlemen calculate that expence, one at fifteen ai
oue at thirty per cent, Hejwoiidert'd that the ge
eialaeeuraey of those gentlemen (hould have suss.
Ed them to have wandered so much from the poi
on this occalion. He believed the eftimarc of t
nth gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin) w
I high at 7 1-2 per cent. An obje&ion of this kii
—** was lels applicable to land, than to taxes on a;
'if- other species of property.
f° r A tax or an heaith-tax, had be
j q "' propofedasa substitute, which would in fact
nothing more than a house tax. He thought tl
j filch a tax was liable to every objcj2ion that coi
be made against a tax on land, and to great ma
others peculiar to thcmfclvcs. Houfcs were
JN e q u ' voca ' representation of propefty, and a tax
them would fall on some parts of the country mu
heavier than on others. Indeed it was fufcepiil
of so many obvious objc£tioiig, that they were r
necessary to be detailed.
Mr. Craik said he did tiot conceive it import;
to go into an enquiry how far it was prudent or |
litic to go to an extent ion of the impost;, r.s he!
110 authority on which to found his opinion ; a
he would caution gentlemen from being diver
ual- frdm the quelfion by a expectation of an encrea
revenue from thence. It had been proved very I
isfa&orily by the gentleman from Pcnufvlva
(Mr. Gallatin) that there no certainty
advance in the imposts. Upon a calculation of
r . duties paid upon goods from the Eafl Indies,
::r - Indies and Europe, they amount at least to fixt
per cent, and were gentlemen prepared to fay t
| even this duty might rot prove a temptation
ant > merchants to become fmuggftrs. The quefl
was an abftrafi principle, and did not pledge £
tlemen to this source of taxation only \ if oil
rthe cou ld be found more eligible, they might .be ap
niles ed to. He hoped, therefore, tLe committee Wc
d» a find no difficulty in agreeing to tlii proportion
idas« f ore them.
Mr. W. Lyman said a land tax had always t
/illi- COB f'deied as an impolitic tax. It would be we!
erms enquire why this tax (hould have been so c'oAl?
sale, ed ; whether the whole world had erred in'
lie m ca f c) or there was some natural cause for the o
( ion., A tax on land was calling forth property
mak- fo,e ' l wss produced j for, until land was cultiva
it produced nothing. To call for a tax in this
lants' had also a tesdency to difc»uragc thecultivatio
• No - land.
2 bc Mr. L. said, he admitted that the consumer

merchant, but from the person who purehafed
£ goods for consumption. it the person
*£> cultivated the ground who paid a direst tax on lj
but those who bought the produce of the land I

in rhis way, was therefore tedious c.rcuJ .nd Let

*** taxes, in mdireft taxes, or cxc.fe, the . gl»,
cess, he said, was unerring and certain. They were
fa much so, that an eminent wrttsr 0.. the fubjeft y
had said, it was » pay the debt to government, or pay wou
the debt to nature/The tax mult be paid, or the «th<
person mult cease to exill. -- •
When he contemplated the fubjeft in this poin
of view, and if he weft tight* that direst taxes were the,
paid by'-the as well as indirect taxes, he t e c
could nJt be at a loss what vote to give on tne pre-
{ent ©ccafion. . ~ „ r
in whatever joint of view he co* idered direst be^
taxes, they could not, in his opinion, be compared
with indirect taxes. It was true, that some nidi per
reft taxes, and all taxes in a greater or lei<s degree, proc
were unpopular; but this never happened bat when any
they were pushed too far. An impott or an excise 1 oppi
may be so exceflive as to be incommodious; but fore
this, he said, was not the nature of the tax. ' IC
This, hefyd, was not the cafe with a diretl, or He
land tlx. This, though ever so small was paid un- oth<
willingly ; a poll-tax was the fame. And a man that
called upon to pay a poll-tax, did not ultimately pay won
the tax ; for a poor man who earned only jult fuf- dec!
ficient for his existence, would cease to exilt, it he all
were not to make a proportionable advance en his htu;
, , taxa
labour. .
In what situation was government ? It calls up- tree
on a man t» pay a direst tax,'perhaps unable to pay wilt;
it. This mode, he said, was circuitous, unfafe.and our
not to be relied upon.
This reflection convinced him, that this cauntry oe c
bad chosen indiredt taxes as the best possible mode, beln
He thought it had made a wife choice. He knew that
very well thst a cafe might be Rated in which a di- dci£
reft tax would be neceflary. A cafe might be (iip
pofed in which every thing might be put in requifi- t ""'
lion. But that was not the present question. In und
cafe of an invalion, or a war, it might be neceflary
to put both property and persons in a (late of re- ject
quifition. He would not pretend to fay, that, in tern
such a situation, direst taxes, or any other, would reai
1 not be proper ; but, in noothet situation, could he fed
• think such a tax should be called for. trei
1 Some gentlemen, oppofei! to the adoption of a tha
' direst tax at present, were of opinion that they wa
' Ihould at leall agree upon a plan of direst taxation we
■ which might be ready in cafe of emergency. But no'
f he did not think such a proceeding neceflary, or wil
I that it would answer any good purpose. He bc-
II lieved it would never be necessary to go into the thi
1 buhnefs, except in an extreme cafe. He therefore hai
e did not think it worth while ; for, however well a ♦ thi
- plan might now be laid, it might be unfit to be ac- lar
1- ted upon when it was wanted. Whoever might all
a compose the legislature at such a time, they would fei
h doubtless be able to determine what was necessary. foi
n He was not for anticipating legiflatios in that way. pi
14 B.fides these general observations, which were of
>- applicable to all countries, there was one which ap ca
'e plied-particularly to the United Slates. If a di
nt reft lax was laid, it mult be according to the lalt L
s. ceafutt. In this way the tax would fall very une- ir
3- qually ; for, it would be found that the population an
ar in some parts of the United States exceeded that ac
'd of other part 6in proportion to the extent of terri- fa
n- j lory, an» wealth and produCtivenelsot foil. Where- fr<
r- | ver commerce had extended to'a confiderahle de- di
nt j gree, the landed interett would be taxed on account in
116 los the population which those improvements may tl;
as have produced. Population, was, perhaps, as sure io
id a mean of judging as ally other of the ability to o!
iy pay of any diftrift ; but from the situation of the la
United States it was not, he said, a good criterion M
en at present. b
be Coming from oie Itatehe did, he should be obli
at ped, it he did not generally object to the system of si
i'd direst taxation, to objcA to it on that account. He !tl
"y did uet think a dir«6t tax could comport with the a
as into eft of a populous (late. )f gentlenhen thought v
on Inch a lax would fall heavy or unequal in thinly in- u
habited llates, he mud-give up his argument, but he
jle did not btlieve this could be the cafe. c
He might have said that indirect taxes were indivl- ! t:
dually unequal, unless upon the principle that con- ' \
int fumers pay the duty. It was not in human wist
jo- dom to lay a direst tax equal. But it was said, 1
iad that money mult be had ; that there was a defieien- j
nd «y. in the revenue, and therefore this tax must be ,ti
ed laid. Several gentlemen, he said, had proved that f
fed there might be considerable retrenchments, made in f
at- the puolic expenditure ; peihaps enough to make 1
ma the receipts equal to the expenditures. They had 1
an not yet determined how fai the military and naval :
the j eftablilhment might be curtailed, and several other ! s
eft j articles of expence would admit of retrenchment, t
«n | Betides, if that, were not the cafe, and the sum in t
hat ; question must be raised, he thought there were cert
to tain articles of importation which would admit ofa <
ton hightr duty, and which would not only prod Ace r«- i
tu- Venue, but operate as an encouragement of the ma- 1
ters uufailures of our own country. ]
pit- It would be recollected, Mr. L. said, that peti
u c tioos had bea> received from hat and glass manu J
e- tacturers, and various wthers, praying for an aug
mentation of duty ou thoft articles, as they found
een the preient duty not a fufticient proteftioH to their
ta maiiuUdure,. Indeed the fnanufafture, of the U-
Jer- nitedl States were almost wholly abandoned. Thole
this of glass and of woollens were abandoned those of
pin- cotton, which had progressed to some extent, had,
e in a considerable degree, been abandoned, and some
ted, others were likely to be so. Ec*his pait, he tho't

tides, he said, were a!f» so bulky, as t« run so rifle

knew that a revenue calculation raigbt prove the re
verse of a mathematical calculation. But, when ar
ticles were fufficiently bulky, the duty might br ii). N
creased to any height,.wit! out danger of fmuggiiiv.
Let the duty be what it would on perter, on coal,
and almost on hats, there need be no fear of fmuir
gling.
There was another article. He believed the
duty on rutn imported might b<i increased. It
would have one of two good effe£ts; ; t
either produce more revenue, or less would be con
sumed.
Mr. L. said, he Humid, therefore vote against
the principle, as it was not possible so to detail it as
to comport wiih the interests of the country ;
Bffides that it was not neceffory to referf to this
article of taxation, us the imports and excise might
be so regulated as to produce revenue fulncient.
The article of fait had beertmentioned as a pro
per article for an additional duty. He knew it was
productive: but it could never be the ifitereft of
any country to tax fait ; he thought it the *io(t
oppressive that could be laid. He would not, there
' fore, be underftoed to fay, that in voting against a
diieCt tax, that he meant to vote for a tax on fait.
He thought, indeed, that there wsre f>matiy
other articles whieh would admit a higher duty,
that there was no neceflity for resorting to that. It
would leally be an extraordinary thing, if, af; er
declaring this country free and profperojis eyoud
all. calculation, it (hould be brought into such a
lituation, as that nothing could save it but direCt
taxation. He fondly hoped, he said, we were a
free, enlightened and flourifhing country. He
wished he could fay that the government had used
our peculiar advantages to the bed parpafe; but
everyone viewing the proportion before them, must
be of a different opinion. We mull, said he, either .
believe the United States are not prosperouS, ©r
that the natural eaufes of our prosperity had been
defeated. -, - . — ; i
Mr. tr-ftrtflf lie "dtff not, mean to take longer
time of the committee, the fubjeCi having already
undergone a very copious difcufiion. /
Mr. Findley hoped the tax, which was the sub
jeCt of their diffusion, had been so long in con
templation, that members would have been more
ready to have met it. It was admitted the laCt
fe®on to be necessary, and the secretary of the
treasury had been direCted to report a plan. At
that time they were convinced more revenue waa
wanted ; that by anticipations, and other caufis,
we were in a filiation to require a direCt tax ; but
no& they heard that the iS was impiaCticable, un
wise, impolitic and unjust. *
He objeCted to its being impracticable ; indeed
this had rather teen suggested than proved, and he
had been surprised to hear such a charge. To fay
11 that so important a thing as the laying of a tax on
. land was impracticable, was a moll extraordinary
t assertion ; but he trulted, as it had been found per-
I fedtly practicable in most of the (tates, it \yould be
. found practicable with us. It had been perfectly
. practicable, and most effectual, he said, in the (late
; of Pemifylvania ; and if so there, why not practi
cable in the present cafe ?
The gentleman from Maffachufetfs (Mc. W.
t Lyman) had said that in some parts of the coun
. try the people were more numerous than in others';
i and that a direCt tax would call upon them to pay
t according to their numbers. Were not the manu
facturers, he said, who might pay tjiis, exempted
from the impost duty, (which would be equal to the
diriCt tax which they -were called upon to pay ; and
t indeed if they were no! called upon lor a direCt tax \
y they would pay no tax at all. But with refpeS to
e individual injury, he said it would beasjult as any
0 other tax ; the principle was more jult, becaule
ie land would be taxed only in proportionVu its value.
n No inditeCt tax would operate equally, but would , ,
be more unequal than this.
i- But it was laid this tax would fall upon theeoru
jf i sum«r 4 only. He differed in opinion from the gen
ie ; tlenwn from Massachusetts in this respect. 'Wraith
ie and industry, he said, mult pay taxes. Indultry
it was the cause of wealth. A lax may be levied
n- upon the poll ; but it mult be paid out of wealth.-'
ie But it was said wealth could not be found ; it
could not be found, it v/f/f true, in t
ri-1 hut in thole in which it w.is visible and ex-poled.
n- I Was there a greater mass of wealth than land i cer
if- i tainly not. It was said that it'difcouraged cultiva
d, lion ; but it did no such thing.
n- ! Mr. F. said, Pennfylvsnia had always been in the
be habit of collecting direCt taxes, whiilt a culidv, and
at since. This tax had the effeSt to prevent the land
in from being engrossed, and kept it in fmnll iraCis.
ka DireCt taxes were not imputed until indircCt taxea
ad had been tried to the greateii extent.
iral Mr. F. said there were greater landnj t dates thaa
ler i any other ; and why should they ci'. ;« a sax. It
it. could not be supposed that he could advo ate. this
it) tax from any other motive than pri'tuple, (nice
er- the whole of his property and that of iris conltitu
>fa ents was lanok; but, said he, we coufidcr it is a
re- jult and equal tax. It is n»t unpopular ; we think.
r.a- it [fceferabli to an indireCt tax. People in towns,
he said, paid for every thing they eat, drii«k, o*
:ti- wear, therefore paid most of the impoli duty,
iu J tbey drd not pay much of it, and therefore wouid
lg- not obJeCt to a lmall tax or. their land.
Mr. F. fiid he had observed a i.onteft in that
house between the agricultural and trading interests,
thought-it was 100 early a-day tn have i»-
troi'ilced that kind of fpiiit. If they lock a vie*
of the countrry, or of the members in that house,
they found one or the other almost altogether agri
