GREAT SPEECH OF HON. W. PITT FESSENDEN, OF MAINE, In Sothic of the United States, Friday, May 8, 1882, Closing the Debate on the Tax Bill, which after. wards Passed by a Vote of $7 to 1. 711813ENDE.N. President, I proposed last even ing to say a few words in relation to ibis bill; but the Senate saw tit to adjourn at that time, and I do not know that I ought to say anything about it now. I know vary well, after the intereating debate we have had on an tu t^reeting ettbject to-day, that anything I propose to say with reference to the bill wilt be of Quite a different charaoter. I bog leave to assure the Senate that I wonid be &lent were it not that gentleme 1--members of the Senate and members of the committee—tbink that, as chairman of the committee, and having had charge or the bill, it Is my duty to make a tow euggestions before the vote is taken, Inasmuch, particularly, as the bill bee been assailed with considerable asperity in relaion to tome of its details, and In relation in fact to its general character, by different gentlemen, and that, np to this period, no one has undertaken to reply to the remarks of that kind that have been made. Mr. President, I am not particularly attached to this bill. I acknowledge lie defects. It is in the nature of things that there must be many defects in a bill paged et this period, comprehending no much, as It necessarily comprehendr, in order to effect the purpose for which it was lemma. Senators will observe, and the country will understand, I trust, that the undertaking Is one of very greet difficulty, for several reaeane. 111 the first place, the undertaking is new, comparatively. In the couutry. We have bad no experience in it matter of this nature for no long a period of years that we come to it a gemoration of men enttrily unnottalatel, practically, with what of a similar character hes previously been done, and obliged to dud our WRY ormearatively in the dark. The difficulty is not !craved by the consiloration that the country Itself is so peculiarly eitualed that we cannot data 'arch ben ell t fro ti the experience °tethers; in reference to the same particular clefs of subjects. iVo are not a bemoger cone people in any sense of the word. Our territory Is very broad. The pursuits in which we aro Interested are exceedingly diverse. Population in some portions of the circuitry redeem, while lu others it le very sparse. Ills exceedingly difficult to so regulate a tax of this deariptioe, Replying as it must necessarily to a grea t var i e ty of entrjehts, as to prevent marked and to operate in such a manner as to be satisfactory to the whole people. When a Congress undertake/ a week of this description, it is noceeserily a work of time; it is in its nature an experiment ; It cello not only for great comities - alien, but for great forbearance, great li berality ; and it calls upon Senators and Representatives mere especially to bring to it all their calm deliberation, to look with an eye single to the whole country, and to divest themselves so far as possible of local feelings and local interests. And yet, sir, noticing ire tho world in more difficult. This tank, however, le one that we have been celled upon to try to perform. tinder all these circumstances, the country lies been very impatient. It hoe been calling for a tax bill, for a heavy tax bill ; for cue that should raise raceme equal to the dr mends of the time; that should give character to the col:nary ; that should give an !Insurance that we wore ready end desirous to meet all our obligations in the most manly and direct and proper way. We gave that assurance by a vote or Congress at thin very session. We promised the country, mid we promised the world— all who bad money to lend, and who bad lent it fur our use—that we would act neon this aeration in such a way as to ratify them acid the world that we m'-ant to perform our ober, atione, and that we shrank from no duty, how ever unpleasant it might be. The country !ills been im patient, but I trust that it will consider that, under all these circumstanced, much time wee required. My honorable 'fiend from II assachueetts (Kr. Sumner) has rather intimated to me that I had h cstsued it too enrich; that I had not given the Senate sufficient time to de liberate upon M. Sir,l Ray, with reference to invade that I have do voted all the time that I could pasibly spare from lleCal- Nary rest for many weeks to this bill; and yet I approach It now, in this stage of its program. with a sense that it ie, In many particulars, exceedingly imperfect My de fence ie, that in its very nature it lii of such a character that only time can bring it to any degree of perfection. 1 will day, to my honorable friend from California (Mr. McDougall), we cannot learn the wisdom necessary to frame a bill like this, under such circumstances, from books, from any knowfsdge, however great it may be, of general principles, Immune that km wledge does not fur nish us with facts. We can only learn bow to correct our errors by experience: and I believe It has been well remnrked that, for an undertaking of this kind, twenty years, at least, of practice is necesarelo any reasonable degree of perfection. But, sir, we must do in this cam es to all other crews. We mat perform our doty, do the best we eau, meet our oblegatione, and meet the people, atter we have discharged those obligations, boldly and manTnlly, and say, ei all pow. r and all striatum is in no man and no body of men; wo have dyes the best wo could under the circumstances ; the best we are al lowed to do; end you Must lake the work of our hands with all its imperfections, and trust to time to sot all thingselght." I know of no other principle upon which such legislation can be perfected. There are certain obvious principles that we ought to understand with reference to a bill of this description. We ought to know, In the first place, how much money It Is necessary to rase, not to an absolute certainty, hat to as reasonable a certainty as can be attained by inquiry and reflection. Oentkmen have different modes of ar riving ate result on each a aceistien. Same will take one line of examination, and tome another, and it will be colored amen hat by nor wishes. One Senator, wishing to convince the country and to convince himself that but a smelt corn comparatively is needed, will take one Übe of t examination to satisfy him of that fact. Another, who may think that the relents:mu made by his as sociate ie too smell, mo tete another. The question Is, which is right I Uton that, over) Senator most de cide for himself. My honorable friend from Rhode Island—ln whose judgment and whine Utmost, I have the meet entire- confidence, although I think he as well as other men may be mistaken, oven upon A subject on which be knout' more than any of us, bas contended that the amnia of the national debt wise a certain sum. I differed with litre. I differed equally with my friend from Mew York (Air. Rands) neon the stems subject. But my friend from Rhode Island pat the stint that he would be willing to rains higher, pilaw, than I ehould. Ile said he would be willing to rates 3200,000,000, and that would accomplish out purpose. Ido not think It is tibtelelely necessary to rake so much; and my difference with him was, that In my judgment the proposition that he was at that time advocating, but which he has seen St on Seabee reflection to withdraw, does not come any where year In its molt to the etelmate be formed of the necessities of the occasion. IN might have been right, more likely to be right than I am; but upon that point I difiered with bitu. Now, lot us look at, our condition. I took a different line of argument. I t ave often seen, and no one can fail to understand, especially at a time like this, that if yon go to the Troesury Department, and Inquire what is the amount of our funded debt to-day, or the amount of the obligations of the Department ontitandlog, you will fell abort, necessarily, of ascertaining what the whole amount of debt is: because no ono can look at the va‘t number - of the men we have hi the field, the gm at number of contracts that we know to be out standing, the great amount of liabilities ahleh have not pasted through the Treasury, and undertake to say that there wee nothing over and above, or that we could cal culate exactly how much there was over acid above the amount stated. lint we have something which comes near a criterion, We knourro a certainty what the amount of the written obligations of the Government Is ; but we have &mating wore. We have the ap propriations made by Congress fur the current year In addition. Gentlemen nay that the money may not be aceot ; but I appeal to every man's expe- Deo cc, if bo bus ever known the time whou the appro priations made by Congrete for the expenses or the year had met tbo extondituroa. Certainly there has been no well Ilene since I have been in Uongreas. There has never Oren a session of Congress at whica we had not to make up duflcitnotee, and eimttimes to a very large amount. Well, sir, there something like a cer tainty about tht ea things, especially if we calculate by that arises from this fact; wo have the esti mates from the proper officers of the different raved tuatara alto are ationained with the details of those ollioeo, es to bow much it will be necessary to expetaa to meet the °Notions of thu particular branch of bu. shim under thtfr care. Going upon thin bane, and looking at the current year, wo may approximate. with a ir a.unable degree or nertidaty, t the ann,unt of Our exrenditures for the current year.. It la not alai drat to SliliKtt that it will not alt he ex Diode I within the year. lhe question ie. will that swami of obligation be fiucurtt d within the ear ea to the expendittue, that it another thing. Will it be inenrred 7 11 itteurral, it boa got in be met; it is a debt, altnough not funded, not un interest. it there is au on etwglirig obligation which the Government must meet, it is as mach a debt as if it were es duced into the shape of a b ,n , l on interest with cnupoee There is no difference. I gave, thu other day. anti I can give perhaps a little more accurively to-day, the amount of those approprin- Or us for the present year. The iippropriations for the year ending June 30, 1862, were, at the second session of the Thirty •ei th C,ongress, 571,000,000. and at the spe cial melon, and at this se-eion of Ormgrese thus far, fj.s 356 0 0, 00 , making $606,000 000. Titan, if you add to that the rid debt of 1170.000,000. you have $074,000,000 as the total amount. Gentlemen tune; be perfectly aware, from their experience, when you tato into consideration the state of the country at the enema time, the contracts that have been made, the outstanding claims, the ex penditures of which no record, necessarily, can be male to a time like thie, with so vast en expenditure, and the deficiencies that we are sailed upon almost orrery day of the melon to meet, that you may safely arid twenty or thirty orlitione of dollars to that esti.oate which I have Ono etnted, at d in that way yea bave got a little over seven hundred milling I see no escape from the cot elusion that, at the end of the year, taking the appro pt motions and Itehliities together, we certainly make no canna enable estimate if we call the amounted* what is owing from us, provided nothing has been paid, 5700,- 010,00. There is to be a deduction made front that; sod that is what we receive 113 revenue from customs, for that goes to diminish tole amount buy honorable friend from Rhode Island told us, the other day, he had made an estimate Row much did we r. coive last year ? Dlr. SIMMONS. I made an estimate, sod 1 said I had got the returns from the Treasury Departmeut. Mr FIieSSNDES. Yes, sir; and I shall say a word about those returns presently. How much did we receive lent year Z Not fifty minium' or dollars. I forget tbe exact amount. How much !shall we receive this year'l My friend says wo shall receive a mnch larger sum than was estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury, because be judges from the returns of Atli' and airy, and he ban made a calculation open that basis; end again he tells as be haa melee celettlatien aeon another basitiof the five years preceding the year 1860. He will perceive that it in - very tinsel° for this year. and even the coming year to tasks any calculation whatever founded open es comp srlsou of the live years preeediug 1880, or founded upon the months of April and May of title year, for very sufficient reatoes. We reduced t , o tariff duties in 1857, and the duties fell off largely. We have Increased them slum, end iu ordinary times that would increase the rate. • • But let us look at other consideretious with reference to the tariff - I mean at the preseut time. I ask my friend, Would it not bo netuelly notate to base his estimate of the rem nue for a whole year et ant sowee epee tee rehires for the menthe of April and May '1 Why, elr. it would, %elapse> , degree of accuracy, for the meson that every body known that the spring and fell quartets of the year e alma the most productive of revenue. Mr. t oteoes. I do not want tr interrupt the See rater— Mr. YESOiNDEN. lam perfectly willing to be in terrupted. Mr. SIMMONS. But I do not want him to argue on what I said without knowing what it was. I began with the let of January. I got these returns for the firer quar ter, and then for seven weeks of the second quarter. It was that that I elated to the Senate. Mr. FILSSIINDEY. I did not understand it to be so, Mr. Simmers It was so. I want you to under eland what I sold. Mr. FESSSNDEN. Let me say, sir, that the Senator could not, Ott the returns made then, in the present state of the country particularly, and bare as everything is and has been of foreign importation, make any extended calculation for the year. Now, with regard to the lest two menthe, end perhaps three, and perhaps longer—l do not know exactly what length of time—it will be oh emenb'e, the Senator will at once see the fact, because It is true, that it lets been understood thin tan bill was to be pasted, and that the tariff must be trimmed upon many similar articles In order to meet the increased rate that was put on by' 'lre bill itself; and it is a known fact that large importations have been made, for the last ttvo or three months, into New York to meet teat seppored state of things, precisely as men have been speculating upon the proposed duty on liquor in that article. That ie a fact, as 1 understand. about which there is no dispute, end that has, apparently, very much Increased the reve nue ,• but, es I said before no sort of calculation could he drawn for the year from that increase Let us go a little further. You cannot always calcu late from one year to another. In ordinary times per baps you may ; but there is one principle which under lies the whole: a country will buy in proportion to its ability to buy ; perhaps, its DeeeSBlllol in the first place, bat those neeeeellielh or fancied tieceesitiee, will be mea sured, and, in a great degree, controlled by its ability. The Senator knows very well—no one knows better— that about the year 1836 or 1837—t cannot tell which —Met after tbe great revulsion our rate of con sumption of importations per bead ran down to about five dollars. In the cannel of the twenty years cue eceding they went up to something over ten &liars, if my memory Nerves me rightly—be tween ten and eleven dollars. Why? Because years, and many years, of prosperity had interloped. The coun try bad become comparatively rich. It had not been troubled with ware, or rumors of ware, or pestilence, or famine., Its capacity to purchase bad Wrested,' and therefore It did purchase Row is it now, air? We have not recovered se yet from the last moneyed revulsion. I know tbat the Secretary of State, who was then in this Senate, uoderlook to say, when it took place, that in the course of a year everything would come around again. It struck Ape at the time that, after alt, it was not al ways so etre, for a man to get up, or to recover from e e fft cts of the blow, after he had been .knocked doivn, AS it wee to knock him down ; that the effect of a ansuclal blow might continue. perhaps, for a long series of years; and It was so. Wbat is the condi ,. trop of the country now? Wiry, elr, now We are MIL SteSe of war; everybody is mettperatively poor; our resources have been expended toe vedelaree amount in carrying on this war, Whit more will tire Senator observe ? On largo portion Of this country which consumer; theta int . . portations has been cut off. Tne ffinator says they do not use a great deal; and yet tboy use a considerable proportion—not so much in proportion, but no incon siderable amount. We therefore have lost, for the time, what would be purchased by a very large ae,itton of the country, and, in a very marked degree, that which re. mains has lost its ability to purchase. All these things must affect, and very seriously affect, the revenue. Therefore, I say that it ie impoesible to suppose that the revenue for the coming year can be anything like what the Senator supposes, nuder any possible condition of the tariff that we may impose. It may come np to $60,- 000,000. I doubt It; but that is; as estimated be the se cretary of the Treasury, I thlui for next year, the most that we can calculate upon. Mr. SisistoNS, I think he estimated it nt $50,000,000. insShNDEN. For the succeeding Yam% Welt, sir, I believe it to be a liberal estimate, notwitlutsediog the apparent improvement of the rococo • for the wait few months, owing to the cause to which I have alluded. Now, air, if I am right in tbat—that Is to soy, if the consideraUons that I adduce era reasonable, yen can calculate only on $50,000,000 at the outside from the last year, and it would leave us a little over six hundred and fifty millions of dollars in debt. Mr. IrOsTsz. In July the Secretary estimated the re ceipts st $67.000,000, and in December at 538,198,000. Mr. YE:WEND/VC For this year. I am willing, how ever, to deduct 556,000,000 as the receipts from all sources, and ft leaves a debt, not funded, bat a debt— something we have got to pay—of $950,000,000 on the let of July. Ido not see any possibility of avoiding that conclusion. Other Senators may, but if they do, they will see 11, of course, with different eyes from any th et I have to look on such a subject. Now, let us look at the coming year. All this, except what we raise as revenue, is to be provided by. burrow • log. For the next year, 1863, we have already in the form of bills not reported to the Senate, and the estimatos far the coming year, 5522,000,000 for military purposes, based upon en army of seven hundred and fifty thousand men; for the navy, $47,000,000 We have already passed in the different civil bills $32,000,000, and in the Indian bill $4,000,000. Thew make $605,000,000. Take out your 550,000,000. or even $75,000,000 if you please, and you leave $530,000,000; and adding those two mime together, you make $1,180.000.000. But, sir, if you estimate the receipts at 550,000.000, which, in my judgment, is all that can bo safely relied upon, and Lake that out, and it leaves over twelve hundred millions of dollars at the end of the next year on the absolute appro- prietions as they stand, nut yet: passed into laws, but founded on the estimates made by the departments. Now, sir, how is this to be got It must be had in some way. The debt stands. It will not be all funded to-day, tomorrow, or thin year, perhaps; but stilt, it is a debt being fundel as fast as poonble. It we do not fund it we roust provide for it from day to day, as it ar rives, and by some of those expedients which wo haws sometimes been compelled to report to, in order to sup port the Government, and not be disgraced; but when the end Cornet—BO COMO if must, and to which wo all wish to bring it—that part which we do not meet by the ordinary revenues, or by the or dinary and extraordinary—if you please to call them so—revenues of the . wintry, by taxation, direct or indirect, such as you choose to adopt, is debt, and sooner or later a funded debt, np in which you must pay interest. Gentlemen may remark this war is about closing, and we may not have to expend this money. I hope it may be so; bat none of us are ready to snake our calculations In that way. Witt you strike down your army to-day Is the country in such a condition that yOU can reduce your navy to•dnyl No body pretend. that yon can reduce your civil expenses much lower than they are. The civil expenses neces sarily increase at a time like this, not in the MOO ratio, but stilt increase from the greater number if civilians employed in the service in ono way or another. I should like to see that kind of spirit of economy existing some where which would give a reasonable hope that some thing in the way of retrenchment was to be done; but I really sin compelled to acknowledge that I have not yet teen it. Then. sir, the neceseity is upon you. Yon must make your appropriatione oven if we are in the way of con quering a peace. For many months to come, whatever may be our prospect, no one doubts that we mast have a large army and an efficient navy upon which, to rely. The thing must be done before we close, and done of- factually, or all the efforts wo have made are to be of no avail whatever 1 take it, then, precisely as it stands on the tetimates of the departments and the judgment of Congress with reference to the appropriation to be made. and acknowledge this to be a debt, and a debt doe, or to heeome due. You have then, sir, 31..200,000,000, or thin eabouts at the end of the two years. It is not a flats:Aug prospect. When I made a epeech at the beginning of the session upon the subject of the United Staten note bill, I was willing, for the sake of argument and I did pit it at a larger sum. I admitted that, poseiblv, at the end of two years it would be, or might be, $1,500,000,000. 1 based my calculation upon that, too, and I made a speech at that time, a hope fnl one, mistreating the feelings I entertained, that in the accomplishment of this greet work the money would be well spent. and that this country, inereating and grow ing as it must, with all its energies, nll its notices, and all its vast advautagee, ouch as are poesesmd by no other people on the face of the earth. could bear even that std more. lam glad, nevertheless, that we have fallen short of it. I will suppose that we manage to keep out $150,000,000 of treasury notes during all this period, on which we psy no interest, and have $50,000,000 offlostingdebton which we pay no Interest. That would take off 8200,000000, and would still leave the debt at what gentlemen are perhaps willing to puttt—sl,ooo.ooo,ooo, to be funded at no re mote period, if not all in Ms year and the year to come. Igo cue, I think, on a reasonable view of the subject, can place Mower. We shall then have to provide for the interest on that amount. Does any senator believe that, in these times, borrowing these large amounts, the average of our interest will be any less than six per cent..? I think that my friend from Rhode island will admit there is no probability of a lower.rale then that for any considerable sum. The greater probability is that it will exceed teat rate, as is large pottioo of that which is funded at ;present does, it we may consider the Mt...years treasury notes a funded debt. The interest on $1,000,000,000, at even the low rate of live per cent., would be 550,000,000. Then what will be the cost of our peace establishment at the end of the coming pearl It will not be safe, I think, to calculate the civil expenses of the Government of all kinds at leas than thirty.ilve millions of dollars. Then what will be our Standing army 1 Ie there a gen tleman here who does not believe, and has not the opinion been expressed ; that for the future, at any rate for many years to come, we must have a regular standing army of at least fifty ihousaud men 7 I think so ,• the Government thinks so ; I know no ono who is not of that opinion. In the unsettled state of the country, such as it most necessarily be after peace is once accomplished, and in all the relations we shall have at home and abroad, we cannot safely suppose that we shall be able to get along with an army of lees than fifty thousand moo. Many gentlemen have expressed the opinion that the time will never again come in this country when we can have less than that number. As I acid the otner day, before three difficultlee arose, our army of about seventeen thousand men, with our military defences, cost us over twenty millions a year. At what figure, then. wilt it be safe to set down the expenses of an army of fifty thou sand men, taking everything in connection with 'it: taking into consideration our military defences, the great extent of oar country, the vast expense of transportation which makes the cost of an army here larger tnan any where else? It cannot be put down at less than fifty millions a year. I should like to see a reasonable calcu lation that would reduce that item to a lower figure. Mr Fosrea. The cost of the army hitherto has been $l,OOO a man. YEESENDEN. I em speaking within bounds, and, although talking by millions, I em making calculations, the reaeonablenese of which gentlemen will not fail to perceive. flow will tt be with the navy? My honorable and valued friend from lowa (Ur. Grimes) would never consent; I apprehend, that we should be reduced to our old poeltion, in regard to the navy. In the relations we Obeli maintain with the world for many years, after the experience wo have gone through, we must encase/41e have a reerectable navy. I do not believe it will need by any means to be so expensive as it is now. lam willing to say $25,000,000 for the navy; perhaps that may be too large, but I think not, and, at any rate, it is only about one•balf what the navy costs at the present time; perhaps not one-half. There ie another heavy item, and a very heavy item. What do you mimeo will be your pension fist when this war is ended? And that must be a 3 oarl expenditure. A few years ago the soldiers of the last war with Groat Britain, the war of 1812, petitioned that what were lett of Item might be paid pensions. a. calculation was made at the Pension Office at the time to show what the yearly amount would be in addition to the then pension roll • and, unlees lam greatly mistaken in my recelieetion—l have not referred to the document—a report was wade to the other House fixing it at $16,000,000 a year. Does SW) body believe that with title great army that we have and are to have, with all its casualties, with all the pen- Mons to widows rend orphans. nod all the life pensions to maimed and wonnded soldiers, and those who have been disabled permanently asd temporarily by sickness, we shall get off for a dollar less then 620,000,000 a year for windows 7 I take It at that. Put these tome that I have given you together for the civil list, army, navy, end pensions, and the interest that we are to pay, and if t have added them up right, they amount to 6180,060,000 a year, without allowing a dollar for a slid:Wig fund except such as we get from ex- Wing laws. The figures aro large, especially to peop'e bo Lave always kept inside of $80,000,000 or therms. emits. It is only adding $100,000,000 a year to our ex penditures, and after ail I look upon that with entire amount.; for when we shalt have encceeded in restor ing peace to this country, and shoaling to the world what we are and what our inetituttons aro, not only the mmoy affiliates teen well i'pent, although this burden has been entailed, but even the blood that has been shed will have been poured out for the good of the cause of humanity, bud help been well shed. 1f I ant right—end gentlemen will consider whether I am or not—the result is obvious: we have got to meet that, and more, if we perform your obligations, if we really do provide something for a oinking food. But I will leave that. Now, sir, what have we to meet this' We have only two sources of revenue. We can expect nothing from our public hinds ' of course ; and gentle men argue that wo ought never to expect aorthieg from them. Let them go. Wo have the duties on imports properly so called, and we have what may be raised by the taxation which we are about to initiate and out of these we ought to raise the amount that I have mentioned. Sly honorable friend from !thole Islatd said that ho believed the duties would amount to $lOO 000,000 a year on what Is to be put on by the other blouse after we pass this hill. Let it go that his returnefor five years previous to 1860 chow receipts at the rate of $80,000,000 a year. Mr. 8131310N/3. Yon must not quote me for that. Mr. naIIENDEN. I take it from the Senator's printed speech. Mr. 6131310:ia. They have been $60,000,000 a year for five years. YESSaNDEN. lam willing to admit the argument in its fullest extent, its tamest bopefuluess, based ou his belief l • and I take it his belief would not carry him be 3uud 880,000,000 a year for Demist years to come. Mr. SINIMOSS. I thought of the $80,000,000 at pre sent, without the addition of what wo are going to raise. Mr. FESSENDEN. That bill if passed, will not raise a! much; but at most, I think all you can get from this source, if lam at all right in my calculations, should not be put at more than $80,000,000 a year for the whole country. What have you to deduct from that 1 Fur this year, and the next at least, you must deduct certainly for the welled States $16,000 000 That would reduce It to 505,000,000 ; and sou must also deduct some thing for the decreased ability of the country. Basing your estimate upon an ordinary prosperous year—lop that is what I am speaking of, not t imewas they are—you must deduct as much more for the decreased ability to purchase foreign goods, and that would bring you down to $60,000,000 a year. Then you have got to get $1.30,- 000,000 somehow or other; but guppies I grant you $lO,- 000,060 more. If my calculation is right ris to what the debt of the country will be, you will still have t! get 8120,000,000, nod your only resource is precisely the kind of taxation which this bill proposes to initiate to inset your obligations. But be it more or lees. let it vary from the line I have given 520,000,000 either way, if you please, you do not avoid the necessity, becalm you can calculate upon nothing with absolute certainty, even probable eertninty, if I may be allowel the expressiou, within that line. You must leave something for contin genciee, became contingencies are constantly occorrieg which vary it either one way or the other; aid a man who intends to reason rightly and provide for hie neces elites, shuts is leases a margin. Be is bound to do so. Under these circumstance!, with this to do, the House of Representatives has sent us a bill. As I remarked a little while ago, the plan that had been prepared by my friend from Rhode Island, my colleague on the commit tee, he has seen fit to withdraw: There ha, been only one other plan proposed, and that is the one proposed by my honorable friend from California, also a member of the committee ; and the question, so far as there was one in the Senate, although it is now -.tithed, wag, in fact, be-: tween a different system in part, that is to say, a tax on sales as a reliance for the greater proportion of the amount of income needed, and precisel, the bill which is now before the Senate. The honorable Senator from California hue denounced this Mb in very strong language; ho has denounced its framework as incongruous, awkward, inefficient, good for nothing, hardly worth the respect of the Senate. Now, be will chow me to remark that it is a little singu lar that, with the single exception of a change of names, the framework proposed in his bill is not only eubstan tially the same as to the bill before the Senut but ilea heat in a very great part of its propoeitioas, and Identical with it as it came to the Senate before the improvements made upon it, if there were afty improvement!, by hie labors and mine, and the labors of our as ociates. The strong language, then, which he applied to the framework . of this bill. the machinery so coked he might apply, I think, with very much more - h - ropriety to the bill which he proposed as a substitute. Be objects to this bill again on the ground thet it • mates a great multitude of officers, tax-gatherers On that subject I have a word or two to say. Po you expect to raise more than one hundred millions of dollars by taxation without machinery and without a great number of Memel In the nature of things you most have a large number of officers. No human ingenuity coo de vise any ether safe mode of collecting the money. The Dill which the Senator himself pro posed—andl can bard'y suppose that he was not aware of the fact—requires as many, and in my judgment more, officers than are re quired to collect the tax under WWII.. He only changes the name. In the first place, he provides for the ap pointment of as many stamp agents se the President tees Pt to appoint. Mr. MoDooosLto No; sir. Dlr. FESSENDEN. The Senst"r will excuse me; I looked at bin bill last evening; and if he wilt look at Ohs will find that I ate right It provides for the appolat meet of stamp agents Its as many districts as the Sreel <lent may think necessary ; Ido not undertake to quote the exact language. Then ha providee for a body of men whom he calla (Impactors, and thoseinspectors aro to have an many &male, as they may KM at to appoint. The duties that there fnepectora have to perform am am one roue, an burdeneome, and in twat partionbere vary much.the same with those to be pertained by tha as- Defame under this bill. Mr. MoDouant.L. Allow me to mate one remark. I advanced my proposition yesterday, and It was defeated by almost every vote in the Senate. I abet'. I think, support the hill as it stands i but I believe it goon further then in necessary. I am for taxation, and, if a better bill cannot be pawd than the bill proposed by the Sens. tor from Maine. I am for that bill.. Mr. Fassagnes lea undoridand the &baler. I only comment on that bill for tht purpose of answering c-r -tain objntkine to this ono and not to attack the bill which was acted upon yesterday. I refer to it simply to show the fact that you cannot got along without a great number of officers by any system which can' be devised, because that, as the Senator observed, was framed with great care -by the gentlemen! whom he named. It le im possible to devise a system for collecting so large an amount of money without twee:warily. being. obliged to have recourse to a large number of officers. It is im possible in the nature c f things, and changing the names of those officers &ea not avoid the d filculte. The name of tax-gatherer is sad to be odious. It was when taxes were collected by the arbitrary will of rulers of unwilling enbjecte; and in such cases the tut gather er may he a tyrant nod an opprostor ; bat in this c.turitry, where the tax gatherer is one of our own rellow.cltizsns, died:me/deg his duties under the laws which we mike, reeponeiblo to ale, liable to be removed from office at any moment, dependent upon the will of the people, I do not know that the tax-gatherer le any more odious, weer' he doee bis tatty, than any other citizen. He certainly ought not to be. To my region or the country they are generally selected from popular men, and I hare tester known the time that they have lest their popularity to `any extent by the proper discharge of their du ties. They are a neeeseary and useful chess of the community, whose butiners it is to collect the publio money it, and put them Into the public chest. Let Sens• tore hate this bill and ask thecuse.yes how many men they have in their own several States to ammo and eo lect their revenue'', and they will flud that we do not under this bill. to have one-tenth, no, not a twen tieth part of the number employed to collect the State Layne, if we take Into consideration those employed -in towns and other municipalities. There is no (Mil witty, them, arising from this source ; It is a cry that we hare hoard in the other House and In this, and sometimes in the newspapers, but the argue:est t amounts to nothing. Much care has been need, in point or fact, to have no more orlicets than were absolutely neces,ary in order to accomplish the purpose. Next, as to the machinery of the bill What is it is it stands before the body, for I em Semad; perhaps, to speak of its machinery before I speak of he probable re suits?. The bill provides for a collector in each distrlot, end the districts in a Stale cannot, at most, exceed the number of e.enators 'and Congressional districts. The culls ;tor to the only man who is responsible to the Go vernment, and we pay him. -We pay him not over $lO,OOO a year for his services, and he appoints his de puties, and pa) s them. of mum, tt will be for his La tat*et to have as few as poisible ' as well no to pay them as little es possible; but could we expect to get along with tete? We do not pay him that sum necessarily. We pay him by a per tentage, which cannot exceed that. There is no danger, I think, of abut* in the number of officers in that particular. We have, thee, an eateecor In each district, who ap points his assietauta. and those we pay for the number of aeseesaide persona they put upon their lista, and also by the day. There the duty is almost cep:neat; it goes on from month to month. The bill is so framed as to tax property values, and you met therefore have the.value of property at different periods; and you must have men to value it, and there will not he so many rim:tired, as the States have to assess vastly email sr aunts, but enough to answer the purpoae. Titers is nothing to make the per formance of their duties offensive to the people, unless, perhaps, they may meet some man who will claim that he is made to bear more than his share of the public burdens. Assessors must be employed. Could you get along, and have all the duties' of assess ing and collecting this great amount of taxes per formed by the same individuals? Ong great objection to that is the propriety of having two erthe of officers. in or der that one may be a check on the other, both knowing what the tax it, and both knowing what account is to be rendered cf 11. finch one gnarly the other, for 'each le familiar with the other's business, and each has ac tees .to. the same. tomcat of ieformation. In this, we adopt the aystem get:wally adopted in the States, and everywhere. I never heard of any section of this coun try or any other, where the man who assessed the tax and the man who collected it were one and the came person; but my information is limited, and it may be that I am wrung in reference to that particular point.. As to the machinery of the bill, that can only bo tried by its working. It was not drawn originally and pre cirely in the words or form in which I would have drawn it, and certainly It is not so welt drawn as it might have been by my honorable friend from New Tork, (Mr. Harris,) alto has improved it in many parti culars, and for which I am very much obliged to him. But, sir, it paned the ordeal of examinetion by tae Com mittee of Ways and Means—able moo ; they did their beat with it. It passed the ordeal of the Mouse of Repre sentative' and many heads are said to he better than few for acute ;hinge. It came to our Committee on nuance, and we devoted much time to it, and especial care to the machinery of the bill, although we did not attempt to corn et its phraseology, except in a few instances. We could only have done that by re writing it. It came next to the Senate, and now the Senate box had R. under conalderation for a fortnight, devoted much time to it, and we have had much Tolerable aid to improve it here in rho Senate, and it has been im proved. If, after all this, it will not work tolerably well, the fact will show a great want of skill in the public councillors. lam hardly willing to make that admis sion, especially as no better plan has been devised by anybody. I believe it to be a good system; on the beet examination I can give to it as it stands now, I think it will work well and easily, and I think, too, it has been brought to a reasonabledegree of perfection. That many defects will be found in practice is natural, necessary, perhaps, in so extensive a system; but what of that? Human heads made it, by the aid of human bends; and in such work there is always imperfection. That a thing is not perfect, involving an much, le no reproach upon anybody. I have said all I have to say on that point, and I find that instead of taking a few minutes on this large subject, lam going farther than I Intended. Now let me say a tew words upon the bill itself. Upon what system is it devised'? Ai much as possible to mako the burden equal upon all classes. We - must find subjects of taxation. Have we found unnatural or unfit subjects 7 If it is not In all particulara what we wish, would it have been ad visable for no hero In the Senate to vary materially from RI Upon what idea are the two Houses of Congress based 1 The originating of tax bilis is left by the Uon stitution in the Bouse of Representatives. They only can originate bills for raising revenue, because they are thought more nearly to represent the people and to un d ereland their interests. '1 kndwit has been said that the Provision is useless; but the trainers of the Constitution meant something; they meant that those who had chargo of opining the people's purees, beginning the operation, should be theme who ate nearest the people, and they therefoie said that the Hones of Representatives should be the body to originate such bills We have the power of amendment. • In the British Parliament we all under stand that It Is settled that the Reuse of Lords car only take the bills or reject them. They cannot amend; they must take them as they are; throw out or pa's such bills as the Commons send them. We have differont pow. era. There is no constitutional limit to our power of amendment We may, perhaps, bare tho power to change the bill entirely ; but is it who to exercise that power I If vesting this power In the House of Reprisent atives meant anything, it meats that the House fa the better judge or the subjects or taxation; that knowing more about the people, they know better and can judge better upon what it ie advisable to levy taxer. I stated in the committee in the begiuniug—l hope none of my brethren will take offence at It—that, in me judgment, it would not be wise for us to undertake to devise a 8, stem which based itself upon different grounds, and to tido; in a large measure, or to any great extent, different eubjecte of taxation from those which had been presented by the Rouse of Representatives. I thought they were consti tutionally the judge., end although we might, nut being limited, perhaps alter at will, it wet hardly worth while to begin a contest or that deuription between the two Houses of Congress, and we had natter stand where we were. 2deflonosm.. Allow me to say that, as to the views I advanced, they were advanced as suggestions rather than matters of legislation. Mr. Fassmning. I said thew were my views, as a general mile; I am not saying tiled anybody opposed them. Mr. MODOUGiLL. I say I advanced my views 89 /Mg gestive at the time rather than as a matter of legislation. Mr. FEB.9ENDIM. Unquestionably, I repeat it here, I think that is the pound and proper basis upon which to place the whole matter.- Now, I have au abstract before me—it is hardly worth while to call attention to it ; I can repeat the moat ont—of the moaner la which the Re presentatives of the people attemplea . to carry oat their plan., They, in the first place, took luxuries, what might be considered luxuries and vices, if you will; they took the article of write for several reasons. In tie first place, tecause ills an article in general and exteneive use, and it made'no difference, substantially, how much tax was paid upor it so far as the use is concerned. I mean that the great mass of the people, in one form or another, do use it, and it is no matter what the amount of d uty is with those who are disposed to do so. Besides inch a tax is very much spread over the country ; and more titan all that, if the people will use It ae a beverage to the extent they now do, it is no matter how much they pay for it. %hat is the simple principle. But there was another point to be considered, and that was, hed we a right to take any branch of basicesa, or would it be good sense to take any branch cf business and break it down • at the start, or should the burden be made reason ably gradual! We must consider that there "are two houses of Congress. Atter much debate the • House of Representatives fixed the tax at fifteen i. mate a gallon i we raised it to twenty cents From tine beat information we could get, we thought that would . antiwar •, 'it was as much ae it would do to put on; and - that is the principle on which it was based. That is an amendment we tad ta right to make. Tobacco is in the same category, though not to the same extent; it comae within the same Maas, of no use, perhaps, to anybody, but still something t hat large portions of the community will use, because they derive pleasure from it. Going on a little farther, they tax occupations, making no particular distinction between those who are prospe rous in their occupations and those who are not, and the distinction cannot well bo made in a tax of this descrip tiCe, because you cannot foresee what a luau is to do in ..the course of a year, and cannot tell whither he is to be "lITOBIIarOOB or otherwise. That COOl9ll under the hen l of licensee. Mere let it ho remarked that the other scheme connected with the tax upon sales—upon which I do eigutd to say something, but end I shall not have time to do so—puts the same or heavier duties upon occupations, only in a different shape. It t meg them from mouth to month upon the receipts of their business, but does not grant them a license for carrying on that business. That, undoubtedly, would suit my friend from Massachusetts better, but the priucipte is the same. ' Ido not suppose that I shall remember all the articles, and it is hardly necessary that I ehoutd state them ell. Spirits and beor.are in the same category. Then come manufaetues. 'There wee no escape for this. To get the revenue, you must tax manufactures or eidee—one or the other. /So echetue could be devised in any POW. ble way which would net he oppressive to the community, and destroy portions of it, without taxing either the manufactures of the country or the sales of the country. You may take all the taxes that can be derived from all other sources, and the product will not come anywhere near what you want. The committee of the House of Representatives and the House chose to put the taX on manufactures. I thick they chose wisely. I have given much reflection to the subject of a tax on sales as pro posed It struck me favorably at first. It struck my honorable friend from Rhode Island favorably. He thought over it, and came to the conclusion that I had come to earlier, and that was that the thing was imprac ticable—it would not relieve the people of any burden, and would not effect the de aired purpose. Mr. SIMMONS. I think it is very likely that I began to think of it because the Senator suggested that it was the beet plan at first. I cannot think go fast as he. Mr. Fs:Manna. I say the Senator came to the same COWIN/110D, after thinking more of it, that I had mme to earlier than he did, without, perhaps; thinking so much, certainly not thinking uo well It is badly worth while, then, to discuss that now ; it will be discussed in the newspapers, and I do not wish to detain the Senate. It being absolutely necessary to tax one or the other, the Rouse of Representatives took manufactures, and It is very evident that the Senate is ready to con cur with them in opinion. On manufacturers the ditty imposed is very light. I undertake to say, from all the intercourse I have bad with xnanufacturera on the sub. jeer, they do not colialder the rate of three per cont. as at all heavy, or burdensome. On some articles the rate is higher, but they are peculiar, and stand upon their (Mai particular ground. I will say this with reference to all who came before us, and objected to the rate of taxation which had been adopted. We heard them patiently, and in almost every instance made the bill to conform to their whiles; and the bill, as it stands before the Senate to-day, on time subject of manufactures, with the excep tion of a very few items—and I hardly know of any after the amerdmenta which have been made in the Senate= stands, on the evidence titterer's, acceptable to those Mori directly iutereated in the subject frem bovine to pay She money originally. ft is predicated on the Idea that the whole tax IS not, as It certainly ought not to bo, a burden on the' manufacturers. They will, undoubtedly, bear a part of it, but in the progress of trade and consumption urea. sociable and proper share of it comes upon the anti sumer, and is diffused over the whole country. That is the principle, and it la right, too, for every man Bilotti bear his proportion of the public, burdens.. Then • Then the bill taxes auction Pales. My friend from Rhode bland, the other day, gave the reason why they are subjected to' taxation. They are 'thought to be injurious to trade, and • much money is made by them; and It •is therefore proper to tax them a reasonable raM. We struck out a couple of mil lions or more that might bays bean gained from a tax on carriages, watches, - piano -fortes , silver plate, and yaalite, for the reason that it was believed this feature of the bill would be odious, as it would send the tax-gatherer, It you please to call bim so, the assessor, into every man's house • to axaMine tbeiteme of , ell those littleurticies of luxury. The cOmmiyee.flecided to strike it out, and the Senate has sustained the decision of the committee for the most part. Whether it le wise ornot tamales to be Been. It was pro posed tote struck out in deference to the expression l'of a strong public opinion In regard to What would be the effect _mean. the bill itself as felt among the,people. I 1 .gree in logiC with that. I only, fear—sad am free trimly. . that I have some fear on that point—J.llst a bad nee of ft may he Made by demagogues, wholvill tell the people TEE PRESS..7-PBMA that you have spared the /16 and taxed the poor; hut, alter all, I have found in nsy experience in life that the people of this country look beyoudltho surface of things, and see and understood motives and effects as well. It is not every loan who has a watch that is 8,10 to Pay a tax ; it is not every lady that has a piano-forte, which, perhaps, wee a gift Irmo a friend. Sr a legacy, that oan afford to be taxed fez. it; it is riot every pereon who owns any other article of luxury, that he ialuese Porlmet, as • keepsake, who is able so par a tax on It. It may be. wise that Congress should refrain',lrout this source of taxation. Then the bill taxesflaughtered c attle, the reasons for oat taxes riaughtered cattle, _ which have been given ; the receipti of railroads and 'steamboats, mid dividend trait companies, any moneyed corpoilitlODP and Palarien, and incomes. and bonds, and legacies. Why? Becalm they are property, the Pro perty of prosperous people as a general rule. They are pint of the fixed capital of the country, pacing a profit', and paying a profit of a peculiar character, By there taxes we equalize the others, and more than equalize them. Will m) friend from Rhode Island tell ate that this is a tax upon the poor? If you call those rich who have more, peebape, than enough in this world—and. those who have investment,' of these different kinds come within that category—if then* are rich, they bear more than their share et the burdens ; for, in edition to this, they pee a tax on income of other doticrlotious and my honorable friend knows very well where that will mutt/ fall. Without specifying further, the Romeo of Represents tiros, In making this hill, endeavored to equalize tsgatlon se far a- possible, to diffuse it through all the community, to mate all classeerbrar a comfortable and roaaniable share of the burden; those who had most to bear most, but all those who hen anything, indirectly to pay some thing. There is no other way in which you can meet the necessities of the Government. f say "indirectly," be cause li le not laid on them directly. They will only feel It, if at all. through the ii,creased price of the articles they consume, and the rate and degree of consumption in within their own pow , r. • So much with reference to the bill itself; and I say here, and I say to the country that I believe this tax bill has been, after all that has beau said about it and notaithstabding all that hue been sold about It, well and wisely devised. That there may be found errors in csr ming it luta execution, and in the matter of its adminis tration, is very probable; but I believe it will fall with as much I quality and its math fairneee upon thodifforoat biases's of the community as it to reasonable to expect a tax-thus ditlneed ebould fall—much more so, vastly more so, than the el stem of taxing sales which has been pro posed an its antagenist,lbut which I do not now propose to dist:use, because I have alreaty trespassed too long upon the time of the Senate. And t t ir, I believe the bill hoe been fronted with a good, and true and hottest de sign to meet the wants of the Government, to discita , ge our obligutione, and to do no more than is absolutely no wise)), for that purpose. I have omitted to speak of one pecculiar, branch, and that is the stamp tax so called. Ido not believe that we can get along without it, and I have no fears to regard to It. We have 'town somewhat in the feat eighty or ninety years, and the people of this country uudsrstand these things. This i, a matter which may be attendel with inconvenience to its operation at first; but, in my judgment, it will soon be found to work easily. It to no thing more than somewhat extending the KIM sort 'of inconvenience that the whole country experienced when we changed the system of postages, and required prepay ment by 'damps, and yet how easily that works now. Everybody, in a short apace of time, became accustomed to it. So it will be with this. The machinery to Garry it into operation wan furnished In that cam, and so It will be in this. 1 believe it Is a tax that will be as little felt. and will produ:e as lime difficu'ty, after it has had time to get fairly into operation. mid be understood by the country, as any other. It is exceedingly light, if we except certain cases, where very rich men are made to pay somewhat more, perhaps, than they might desire. It romaine only to soy, and that, of course, must be mere conjecture, that I believe the taxes iu this bill will raise about one hundred and twenty or one hun dred and thirty millions of dollars. We cannot ex pert so much from the hilt now as io prosperous times. There will undoubtedly be efforts made to avoid payment by tho dishonest, and by those who aro not willing to contribute their portion to the public burdens; but I think that no very great share of what we ought to receive will escape us ; but ne cessarily trade is somewhat stagnant; business is somewhat at a stand-still; capital is very 'careful with regard to where it invests itstlf, if I may use the phrase; we do not see so much enterprise sad sociviti as tan. It is not to be expected in a time of war; bat this is devised for the future as well as the present, and we must trust to the experiment to begin with. The Question is, whether, in good faith, we have done that which we promised to dot I think we shall have done it When we have passed this bill. If it does not simesed, if it is riot enough, we obeli come together in a short time Win, WA can correct our errors. Many gentlemen say that it will raise too much money. It cannot raise more . . than we shall have to meet; and if it raises more than is absolutely neceseary for the time, will it not be better, and will ttOl be a more grateful teak, to strike down at the end of the year, and relieve the people of somo burdewt, than to be obliged to put on greater ones? The people soon get accustomed to a burden, unless It to beyond all human m endurance; but they do not like to have it in crea d especially if they feel it; bat after they have ac customed themeelvee to a heavy burden, or to oue that may be called severe, if you can say to them, This was for a time of necessity, and now we can relieve you, ,, the rebound le much more satisfactory than would be the re flection that would be cast upon as for a want of suffi cient energy in the beginning. 1 commend thie thought to the'conalderation of gentlemen who think that we aro is danger of raising more under this bill than we shell need. Now, air, I can, hardly venture a prediction; I have made no calculations upon which I could rely myself, In tolerance to the amount we shall realize under this bilk We have increased somewhat on the bill, as it. C 1619.3 from the House ot 'Representatives. The tax on cotton is diminished, ! but on other articles it le somewhat increased. I have lurid that I believe we could raise, with this and the direct tax, 8130,000,000. The list which I have before me, and which I will not trouble the Senate by reading, I nor do I think I will print it, amounts to something leas I than that. We must consider, howevegyriretit is going to cost something to collect the money. Wattuot do tbatfor less than 810,000,000, and that to to be d noted. If we can get 8110,000,000 out of it as It stands, flee of all expente e, Senators need not tremble thernsolres with the idea that wo shall get more money than we want. Id y only fear is, that it will fall short of that, notwith etaueing the adnitions we have made to it. If it does, an hie/eased lax upon spirits is left to us for the next sea ! eion of Congress, and my friend from Ohio, as well as ! my friend from Rhode Island, both agr.e tkat in six mouth% hence we can venture to increase the rate, and ! perhaps we can get something more than is *generally imagined out of the income tax. The Secretary of the Treasury said that, with some modification., he thought • we might get $10,040,000 from the income tax. the &LIAM' from Rhode Island goes much higher. I believe that, from the income tax as it Mends, 53 I would c.alcus• I late it, we eau get at least 815,000,000, and I should not bo surprised if we got 820,000m0; but I think that will be the outside of all that can be expected from it if the result falls some% hat short of my calculations for the first year, I think we shall not be much benindbaud, es soine • considerable time must elapse before we shall be celled upon to pay all the inlereet to be included In my estimate of 8161.1,0t0,000. , Mr. President, I ant aware that instead of speakiog a ! few !minutes, I have been talking over an hour. My ex cues to the Senate le, that I have labored so long and so herd upon this bill, and thought so much about it, that, perhaps, I am getting to be a little beyond my measure in relation to the matter, and do not know well what to • say, or how mach it will no to say. I Nava thought it : urcestary that; air the organ of the committee s and having so much to do with it, I should ' say these words to the country, as not my opinion , alone, hot, I hope, the opinion of the. Senate, • almost unanimously. If, after the large majority • that the bill receivrd in the Rouse of Representatives, after being endorsed by their judgment, and if, after the long consideration we have given to it •here, it should come to pass that the Senate should say that they have seen no other mode iu which they could lay a tax of this character upon the people, to meet the want; of the Government. that, on the whole, they approve tilde as reasonably fair and reasonably wise, as much so as, perhape, could be expected under the circumstances, l believe that our cm:Minim:lts will receive it front no kindly, and will meet with stout hearts and Open hands the request that we make of them, and be • diapered to bear without murmuring the burden that is laid upon them by the necessity of the times. I believe, after all that has been said, and strengthened by what I • have sten In the courts of my investigations, as to the feeling of those who have presented themselves before us, ti err is the beet dlepositlou everywhere to meet thin inat• ter boldly, strongly, with stout hearts and calm minds, I and a williuguess to tate, as they have taken.wlth regard I to their children and friends, this additional burden upon them, end more, even, if the necurealties of the country require it at their bands.
