Whethei the , revenue be raised by , taxing Imports, or by direct taxation, are grave ,questions. As the legitimate result! of free trade would lead to the latter, it is well to examine them; and, in eo deli*, I will refer to the doe trine laid down in the Cincinnati platform on this subject, which IS Sa follows : "Resolved, That there are questions connect ed with the foreign policy Of this country which are inferior to no demesne question -whatever.

Why can you not manufacture iron as ehesply in this country asin England? I answer: it le true we havethe raw material In abundance; we have the requi site skill; we have the labor-saving machinery. and we have the labor; but that labor should be encouraged, and not crushed to them:all. IV is the glory of oar country that the road to fortune and to fame Is open to all and le traveled by all. We have no special sissies or grades here. We frequently find the laborer of to day the employ er of to-morrow; and this can only be the case. when labor Is remunerated. We cannot employ labor at the prices paid 'in the , oldconntries; we ebonld not wish to; And when the day arrives, if it ever should, (which Heaven forbid,) that the laboring man of our country is reduced to the 'ego paid in foreign countries, then indeed will our glory ea a nation have departed. Let no, on the other band, encourage limbo products. Stop this miserable piney of forcing our provision. abroad to find/market., and hay ing them returned to unto the shape of manu factured articles, we paYing come CO or BO per cent., in •addition to their original value, for transportation, ate., to tho middle mon through whotia-they have parsed; but let no apply our own labor to our own raw mafetiiffs, and thus provide a home market foram own breadituffe, for the product of our own farmere; supplying ourselves with the manufactured - articles; saving transportation, commiselons and various expen ses, and feeding and supporting our own labor in preference to foreign. If the power and great ness of a State or country depend upon the num her and prosperity of its population, then it fol. lowa, as a Matter of course, that, Ity combiolog manufaatingWith'agriculture, you can increake the popular on to the extent that the products of the soil would supply with nourishment; or, la other words, you could employ as largo a poph lation in manufacturing and trade as the sot - outland productions of the Noll would feed, and by this penny you would brio el he producer add the consumer together you would have a hoole market for be agriculturalist, who would, ia ei change, rebeive the domestic manufacture it stead of the foreign, and thus add to the wealth of our elm country by de4eloping its great nat ural reentries. , Why should any portion of our. Onion object to this policy? The argument Is, that sortie States of the Union are oonenniertinnd not pro ducers of these manufactured artielert Ilene° they must buy as cheap as they: can, and sill their own redacts as dear as poseible. Let es examine thi . At the formation of oar Confed eration, sth n the great experiment of a Repub. Hewes sbo t be tried, and a Republican Govern mentl, about obe put in operation, the wise men of that day, knowing that the eyes of the world were upon t em, and that the predictions of the Monarchial and absolutists or the Old World were, that this was %Utopian scheme that would not be carried into .practice, end'- that the then infant Republic would soon crumble to atoms, endeavored to guard and proteln every interest, and prevent eternal strife and division. The manner of raising revenue for }lie support of the new government was a matter ;of great con. cern. Various propositions were made and fully discussed. Should there be a tax upon land? &mold the taxbe onimports, or should they tax exports? 1 . . The principal discussion weal, between the Iwo latter propoultious Tobacco tine then an arti cle of considtrable export ., Cotton had not yet assumed any importance an au article of .trade; in fact, it wee about the yeer 1,790 that the planters of the Southern Suttee began to turn their attention to rattling it, and not unlit 1795 that Mr. Whitney Invented the cotton gin. In 1784, eight bags of cotton from °need our South ern Siam, consigned to Mr. Rathbone, an American merchant in Liverpool, were eared by the custom hones officers, en the allegation that it could not have been grown in the United Stales—so insignificant and unknown was the production of this great staple at that time, al though now denominated King. I refer to this for the purpose of showing that, hid the cotton interest then been what It la now, one section Of our country having an entire monopoly ails pro ductioo, that vast interest might have . decided differently the question of taxing ;exports; and the producers of cotton, who now abject Ito strenuously to taxing imports, to its to protect the American manntactures, might have been paying to upon their exports. What did the great men who framed the Constitution any on this subject?

With such authority as Washington and Madison in favor of lazing ex ports, it cannot be denied that withholding the power to tax them was a conceesion of the South, and one that would probabty not have been made, had the production of cotton to any considerable extent then existed. Now, we do not ask for a tax upon exports, but we do ask our Southern friends, who enjoy the exemption, to give. ns such dirties upon imports an will equalise-our condition and encourage American manufactures. We ask that the duties Abell be so laid an to afford incidental protection, and not as recommended by the -Secretary of the Treasury in his report on the fiaances, roads to Congress at its last erasion.

On the other hand, lOw or strictly revenue tariffs have flooded the-country with foreign goods, foreign iron, 'foreign everything: 'have drained us of our precious metals to pay for them ; have put out the fires of our forges and foresees; stopped the shuttle and the loom; eent consternation, poverty, distress, and even starvation into our manufacturing districts,; and the hardy, able. bodied laborer, after eponding wearisome days and nights in vain search of employment, has been doomed to penury end want and forced to beg or starve. The value of al! properly, real and perilous], has been greatly reduced; and few or no buyers at the sheriffs' idles, which are the legitimate revolt of this coarse of policy. Has this not been the ease? Is it not a true picture of the past? And will,not the same course produoe the same effect in the future? Fro 1812 to 1815, doting the war with Great Urinal , when our foreign commerce wan ens pende i and It became a necessity for us to man ufacto o and produce at' home what would sup ply our wants, we became a nation of exchangers or barterer& The manufacturer turned out his iron, glass, salt, cotton and woolen goods, which he exchanged for labor, mechanical skill, and the products of the soil. The farmer had a home market: the producer and consumer were ~ena bled to take their place by.eacb other's s ide;" the laborer bad constant employment and good wages, and at the °Wee of an expensive and tedious war with the most powerful nation on the globe, we were prosperous and happy, with a revenue that was fast diminishing the public debt. The tariff of 1816, which superseded the double or war duties oflBl2, (which were con• tinned to June-80, 1817, was essentially a revs. one tariff only, without protection. Under its operation, foreign goods flowed into the country; the product of foreign labor wee substituted for our own, whilst our own labor was doomed to languish and seek employment in rain; the pro ducts of our farmers, instead of feeding labor at home, were cent to Europe to nourish foreign labor, and bo returned to us in manufaalured I T tides: whilst our minerals were laylag dead and useless in the hills, and the laborers starving for want of bread. - • • • • ftse twills of 1824 and then of 1828, by their protective principle, again restored no to, pros perity. Thia continued until we began to feel the depressing influence of the compromise tariff of 1883, as it approached the free-trade gland ard. The period now under consideration le not eo remote but that the majority of this House can well remember it. The anapeneloti of specie payments by the banks, occurred to 1837; and the general depression and bankruptcy that per vaded every branch of business, and the-large 'majority of badness men, was such, that . Con gnats found it necessary, In 1841 to pus a gen eral bankrupt law, that the large number of useful-, active bush:lees men, who had been car ried into bankruptcy by that ••Irrepressible con flict against labor, might be restored to post -11013 and usefulness. There was no relief to the country, no Improvement in commerce or Mall- Natures, until the protective tariff of 1812 gave as • new impetus and prosperity again - shone upon us. From 1843 to 1847, our eaporte and imports of specie were; imports. 422,890,069 $1,620,791 .. 6,880,429 6.454,214 4.070,242 8.608,490 3,777,732 3,90,288 .. 24,121,285 1,907,924 1843 1844 1845 1846 1897 Total $60190,251 $21,393,792 Maki,* the imports exceed the exports by $38,- 795,439, or nearly three dollars Imported for one exported. _ The tariff of 1846 found the country in a high abate of prosperity. Its baneful effects were not felt immediately; but like the slew and sure,pol son, it has been quietly and regularly rapping the foundations of our proeperity, reduciug the amount of our matufaotures, increasing the amount of cur importations, robbing us of our precious metals, and again reducing no to It state of dependency, or rather despondency—l might nay both. One evidence of the extent of this blight uponiour proeparity, is the feet thettrom 1848 to 1859, inclusive, twelve yenre, our ex ports of the coin, and the bullion exceed the ial• ports $371,760.881, or an average of more than 630,600,000 per annum $ 6,367,V.4 4,66t,040 4 6.11, 7 0 . 43339. 6 303 044 659,1911,051 187 tl 8,0.59,913 4A7 12.461,74 19,171,145 0309,705 4L4A.V.Aa :4.143f 4I 4 ea: ii asammi Proving conclusively that ander the oper►tioa of the protective policy of the tariff of 1848, epode wee flowing into the country, and ander (he ad co/cress, prognsure Jrrr trod. tarifft of 1810 and 1857, it him been rapidly flowing out, at at aver age of more than thirty million dollars per an num—the last year the excess of apache exported having reached the enormous sum of $57ib17,- 708, and tbis to pay for articles that we can and should manufacture at home. Raving shown that the operations of the pre- sent tariff are fast reducing the manufacturing interests of the country to a state of embarrass. meet, and dependence, let no now for a few moments examine the remedy. The tariff of 1842 was admitted to be protective; it was In' operation only four years,yet In that short apace of time gave such au Impetus to our prosperity and wealth, as no nation ever received lo the same period. The main feature of that tariff was special deities, which were abandoned altogether for the ad ratorcm: of the tariff of 1846. :This was done against the protestations of the':beet men of our government, and their prophecies that ruin and disaster would follow. The otilso dons to ad valorem duties are twofold . . . . 1. Undervaluation, or fraud, by which an In voice Is made out below the real valne, and Upon this undervalue the duty is calculated and 'paid, thereby defrauding the government, and bring ing ruin upon the honest home manufactrivers, wbo cannot contend egalnet this fraudulent com petition. 2. When protection is moat needed this ad valorem principle does not afford It. For Instance, take iron as an example, and !appals that , the average price for ten years was fifty dollartqer too. At the present ad oaloran duty, 24 perict., that would make the duty per ton $l2. .i The fluctuations of Oleos during that period might vary from a maximum of thirty. The result would be duty on $7O par tan, $lO 80; duty on $3O per ton, $7 20; ebowing, that when the price of foreign iron is high, from a home !de mand in Europe, or other prosperous causes, the duty is so high as not only to protect, but to amount almost to prohibition. When iron is depressed in value at home and abroad; wen our manufacturers are struggling against ad ;m -oil and endeivoring to keep their works 100 er it anon without any expeotations of profit, : but merely to furnish labor and food for the opera tives who are employed by them, and dependent upon their labor for bread; where Is the bine ficent protection of the government at eno . a time he this? IL ie, Mr. Chairman, a miser mockety, although in atria( conformity with: doctrine advocated by the Secretary of the Tie ury. Under snob depressions of price, the; alga articles flows la upou tie; our markt; overstocked, and the home manufacturer crushed out. When'prittee are high, and 111 or no duty le required, we have high duil when prices are low, and protection nrcesea the duties are totally inadequate. Trite system of valuation is In foot a bounf,j. times ofdistrese to the foreign manufacturer, 4nd a ',ward for hie competition with our own Man ufaatercre. Why not adopt a eyetem thatiVill operate molly the reverse of thlk, namelytaf ford protection when it is needed; and when the pries le no high that protection in not neceettei7, let the foreign article come in free? Such a Otle my colleague, the able member of the Committee of Ways nod Means, from Pennsylvania. wil , I hope, Introduce. and I trust the good eena e of this House will lead to Pe adoption. Let u at any rale abandon this miserable and reckmaire• tem, and restore specific duties.

The _great principle of- a just diq crimination in favorof ouch articles, as 'the general interest requires, is the priociple which commands the approbation of the American people. I here tell gentlemen we shall have henceforward no more ad rakrem tariffs: We guilt never go on the principle of horizontal tariff. This bill cannot stand. It will not stand. It Is a house built upon the sand ; and no intelligent men will think himself safe beneath Its roof, it will fall on him and crush him." President Buchanan in hie tnessaee has oleo advocated epeelfie duller; and dur ing his term of service in the Senate, ho always; did ao HD says. "No etateeman would advise tat we should go on Increasing the national do t to meet the ordinary expenses of. the Clover meat Thie would be a moetruinuns policy. a case of war our credit mast be our chief reeonree, at 'emit for the firet year; and this would be greatly im. paired by having contracted a largedebt in time of peace. It so our true policy to increase our revenue nu no to equal our expenditures. It would be ruinous to continue to borrow. Bet sides, it may be proper to observe that the Wei ! dental protection thus afforded by a revenue , tariff would, at the present element, to some ' extent, intonate the confidence of the manufac'o luring interests, and give a fresh Impulse to our reviving lowdown. To this eurely nu percent . will object. In regard to the mode of aesessing and oolimiting duties under a strictly revenue tariff, I have long entertained and often ex preened the opinion that sound policy requires title should be done by spealfie duties, in °glee to which thosecan be properly applied. They are well adapted to commodities which are uaually sold by weight or measure, and which; from their nature, are of equal, or of nearly equal value. Such, for example, aro the tali; oleo of Iron of different einem& raw sugar, and foreign ulnae and spirits. "In my deliberate judgment, specific duliee are the beet, if not the only means of securing the revenue against falls and fraudulent int voices; and such has been the . practice adopted far this purpose by other commercial national . Besides, specific) duties would afford to th e. American manufacturer, the incidental adverts tagee to which he le fairly entitled under a rev enue tariff. The preeent system is a sliding scale to his disadvantage. Coder it, 1,110 prices are high and basinese prosperous, the de flee rise in amount when ho least required their aid. On the (tabular', when prices fall and bets struggling against adversity, the duties are di, miniebed in the name proportion, greatly to bill injury. Neither would there be danger that • higher rate of ditty than that intended by Cons green, could be levied in the form of specific du ties. It would be easy to ascertain She average value any Imported article for a eertee of . yeare; and, instead of subjecting it to an ad nor Mown duty eta certain rate per cent to eubettitite in its plane an equivalent epecifie duly. .._ ".By snob an arrangement the consumer would not bo injured.
