following observations were made:

horse the paper of banks.' • I ..
" 'lf paper, in whatever form, or from
' whatever source it may' issee, should be in

The remainder of the report. relates to the
new tariff and its operationg, witli n variety
of illnstra.ions from the past history of 'the
nation, and a number of collateral and inci
dental facts demonstrative of the superiority
of the system.
From it we gather, amongs'emany others,
the following items of fact,
The nett revenue under the new tariff, for:
thc year ending the Ist of December 1817, is
.c(31,500,000, being $3,528,59(i more than un
iler:Ahe 'Ol,l twill in the preceitiling twelve

of which only ab0nt,6150,000.000 is exported:
leaving 6:3.850,000,000 to be used at borne, of
which 6500,000,000 is annuallv'ireerchanged

nations is only at the rate of 30 centik per in

be augmented bvilow duties to 9`. ) , cents per

'Flie Secretary then proceeds to comment
upon the statistical facts connected with the

to augment our exports of grains in; 18-
