eration of these principles, range front one •
per cent. to more than two hundred per
cent.' They are prohibitory on some ern-,
cles, and prtiolly so in others, and bear'
most heavily on articles of common neces
sity, and but lightly on articles of luxury.
It is'so framed that much the greatest bur-1
den which it imposes is thrown on labor
and the poorer classes who are least able tol
bear it, while it protects capital and ex-1
empty the rich from paying their just pro-1
• portion of the taxation required for the
support of the government. While it pro
tects the capital of the wealthy manufac
turer, and increases his profits, it does not!
benefit the operatives or laborers in his!
employment, whose wages have not been
increased by it. Articles of prime necessi-1
ty or of coarse quality and low price, used
by the masses of the people, arc, in many
instances, subjected by it to heavy taxes,
while articles of finer quality and higher;
price, or of lhxury, whieli can be used on-'
ly by the opulent, arc lightly taxed. It
imposes heavy and unjust, burdens on the
fanner, the planter s the commercial man,
and those of all other pursuits except the,
capitalist, who has made his investments in
manufactures. All the great interests of
the coun.ry are not, as nearly as may
practicable, equally protected by it.
The government in theory knows no dis
tinction of persons or classes, and should!
not bestow upon some favors and privile
ges which all others may not enjoy. It
was th© purpose of its illustrious founders!
to base the institutions which they reared,'
. upon the great and unchanging principles
of justice and equity, conscious that if ad—
ministered in the spirit in which they were
conceived, they would be felt only by the ,
benefits which they diffused, and would
secure for themselves a defence in the
hearts of the people, more powerful than
standing armies, and all the means and
appliances invented to sustain governments
founded in injustice and oppression.
The well-known fact that the tariff act
of 1842 was passed by a majority of one ,
vote in the Senate, and two in the House
of Representatives, and that some of those
who felt themselves constrained, under the;
peculiar circumstances existing at the time
to vow in its favor, preclaimed its defects,
and expressed their determination to aid in
its inotlification on the first opportunity, af
fords strong and conclusive evidence that It,
was not intended . to be permanent, and of ;
the expediency and necessity of its thorough
revision.
In recommending to Congress a reline-
ion or the presentfates of duty, and a re- ;
vision and modification of the act of 1842,
I am far from entertaining opinion unfriend
ly to the manufacturers. On the contra
ry, I desire to see them prosperous, as far,
as they can be so, without imposing une
qual burdens on other interests. This ad
vautage under any system of indirect tax-,
ation, even within the revenue standard,
must be in favor of the manufacturing in
terest; and of this no other interest will
complain.
I recommit - id - to Congress the abolition
of the minimum principle, or assumed, ar
bitrary, and false values, and of specific du
ties, and the substitution in their place of
ad rolorem duties, as the fairest and most
emitable indirect tax which can be impo
sed. By the ad valorem principle, all artt
cies are taxed according to their cost or
value, and those which are of inferior qual-'
itv, or of small cost, bear only the just pro
portion of the tax with those which are of.
superior quality or greater cost. The ar
ticles consumed by all are taxed at the
same rate. A system of ad valorem reven
ue duties, with proper discriminations and
proper guards against frauds in collecting
them, it is not doubted, will afford ample
incidental advantages to the manufacturers,
and enable them to derive as great profits
as can be derived from any other regular
business. It is believed that such a sys• ,
tem, strictly within the revenue standard,'
will place the manufacturing interests on
a shMe footing, and inure to their perma
nent advantage; while it will, as nearly as
may be practicable, extend to all the great
interests of the country the incidental pro
t xtion which can be afforded by our rev-
emit! laws. Such a system, when once
firmly established, would be permanent,
and not be subject to the constant comp
plaints,
agitations, and changes which must
ever occur, when duties are not laid for
revenue, but for the "protection merely"
of a favored interest.
In the deliberations of Congress on this
Subject, it is hoped that a spirit of mutual
concession and compromise between con
flicting interests may prevail, and that the
result of their labors may be crowned with
the happiest consequences.
By the constitution of the L'ilited States
it is provided, that "no money shall be
drawn from the treasury but in consequence
of appropriations made by law." A pub
lic treasury was undoubtedly contemplated
and intended to be created, in which the
public money should be kept from the pe
riod of collection until needed for public
uses. In the collection and disbursement
of the public money no agencies have ever
le..en employed by law, except such as were
appointed by the government, directly res
ponsible to it, and under its control. The
safe keeping of the public money should be
confided to a public treasury created by
law, and under like responsibility and con
trol. It is not to be imagined that the fra
tne.ts of the constitution could have inten
.ded that a treasury should be created as a
place of deposite and safe-keeping of the
public money which was irresponsible to
the government. The first Congress un
der the constitution, by the act of the sec
ond September, 1789, "to establish the
Treasury Department," provided for the
appointment of a treasurer, and made it
ins duty ',to receive and keep the moneys
of the United States," and "at all tunes ,to
submit to the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Comptroller, or either of them the
inspection ot the moneys in his hands."
That banks, national or state, could not
have been intended to be . used as a substi
tute for the treasury spoken of in the con
stitution, as keepers of the public money,is
manifest from the fact, that at that time
there was no national bank, and but three
or four State banks of limited capital exis
ted in the country. Their employment as
depositories was at first resorted to, to a
limited extent, but with no avowed 'Weft . -
tion of continuing them permanently. in
place of the treasury of the constitution

When they were afterwards from time to
time employed, it was from motives of sup
posed convenience. -
Our experience has shown, that when
banking corporations ,hate been the keep
ers of the public money, and been thereby
made in effect the treasury, the govern
ment can have no guaranty that it can
command the use of its own money for
public purposes. The late Bank of the U
nited States proved to be faithless. The
State banks which were afterwards em
ployed, were faithless. But a few years.
ago, with millions of public money in their
keeping, the government was brought al
most to bankruptcy, and the public credit
seriously impaired, because of their inabil
ity or indisposition to pay, on demand, to
the public creditors, in the only currency
recognised by the constitution. The fail
ure occurred in a period of peace. and
g.eat inconvenience and loss were suffered i
by the public from it. Had the country
been involved in a foreign war, that incon
venience and loss would have been much
greater, and might have resulted in ex
treme public calamity. Thqpilblic money
should not be mingled with the private'
funds of banks or individuals, or he used '
for private purposes. When it is placed in
banks for safe keeping. it is in effect loan
ed to them without interest, and is loaned ,
by them upon interest to the borrowers
from them. The public money is conver
ted into banking capital, and is used and
loaned out for the private profit of bank
stockholders; and when called for, (as was
the case in 18370 it may be in the pockets
of the borrowers from the banks, instead
of being in the public treasury eontempla•
ted by the constitution. The framers of
the constitution could never have intended
that the money paid into the treasury ,
should thus be converted to private use,:
and placed beyond the control of the gov
ernment.
Banks which hold the public inoney are
often tempted, by a desire of gain, to ex
tend their loans, increase their circulation,
and thus stimulate, it not produce a spirit
of speculation and extravagance, which
sooner or later must result in ruin to thou
sands. If the public motley be not per
mitted to be thus used, but be kept in the
treasury and paid out to the public creditors
in gold and silver, the temptation afforded
by its deposite with banks to an undue cx
pansion of their business would be checked,
while the amount of the constitutional cur
rency left in circulation would be enlarged
by its employnymt in the public collections
and disbursenv-ms,and the banks themselves
would, in consequence, be found in a safer
amid sounder condition.
At present. State banks are employed a;
depositories, but without adequate regula
tion of law. whereby the public money can
bs secured against the casualties and exces
ses, revulsions, susrnsions. and defalca
tions, to which, frsni overissues, overtra•
ding, an inordinate desire for gain, or oth
er causes, they arc constantly exposed.
The Secretary of the Treasury has in all
cases, when It was practicable, taken col
lateral security for the amount which they
hold, by the pledge of stocks of the Unite.'
States, or such of the States as were in
good credit. Some of the deporite banks
have given this description of security, and
others have declined to do so.
Entertaining the opinion that -the sepa
ration of the moneys of the government
from hankiag institutions is indispensable
for the safety of the funds of the govern-'.
melt and the rights of the people,'' I rec
omiriend to Congress that provision be
made by law for such separation. and t hat
a constitutional treasury be crrated for the
safr-keeping of the public molter. The
constitutional treasury recommemi r ed is de
signed
as a secure depository for the pub
lie money, without any power to make
loans or discounts, or to issue any paper
whatever as a currenrp or circulation. I
cannot doubt that such a treasury as was
contemplated by the constitution. should
be independent of all banking corpora
tions. The money of the people should
be kept in the treasury of the people crea
ted by law, and be in the curtodp of agents
of the people chos , n by themselves, ac
cording to the forms of the constitution; a
gents who are directly responsible to the
government,who are under adequate bonds
and oaths. and who are subject to severe
punishments for any embezzlement, pri
vata use, or nnsapplication of the public
funds, and for anv failure in other respects
to perform their duties. To say that the
people or their government arc incompe
tent,or not to be trusted with the custody
of their own money, in their own treasury.
provided by themselves, but must rely on
the presidents, cashiers, and stockholders
of banking corporations, net appointed by
theni . nor responsible to them, would lie to
concede that they arc incompetent for self
government.
In recommending the establishment of a
constitutional treasury, in which the public
money shall be kept, I desire that adequate
provision be made by law for its safety.
and that all executive discretion or control
over it shall be removed, except such as
may be necessary in Jirecting its disburse
ment in pursuance of appropriations made
by law.
Under our present land system, limiting
the !Minim price at which the public lands
can be entered to one dollar and twenty-live
cents per acre, large quantities of lands of
inferior quality remain unsold, because
they will not command that price. From
the records of the Goner! Land Office it ap
pears, that, of the public lands remaining
unsold in the several States and Territories
in which they are situated, thirty-one mil
lions one hundred and five thousand five
hundred and seventy-seven acres have been
in the market, subject to entry more than
twenty years; forty-nino millions six hun
dred and thirty-eight thousand six hundred
and forty four acres for more than fifteen
years; seventy-three millions seventy-four
thousand and six hundred acres for more
than fifteen years; seventy-three millions
seventy - -four thousands and six hundred
acres for more tban ten years; and one hun
dred and six millions one hundred Emil sev
enty-six thousands nine hundred and sixty
one acres for more than five years. Much
the largcs portion of these lands will con
tinue to be unsaleable at the minimum price
at which they are permitted to be sold, so
long as large territories of lands from which
the more valuable portions have not been
selected are annually brought into market
by the government. With the view to the
..,,._r.,'-7: r.:,F^ 3+:X39.ARN :i:-' 1~~e;.Z~:a:i. ::"': F?i3s~S ' E:`..z-".'cS.: ~'rawx ....,+.....
sale and settlement of itiesci inferior landii;
1 recommend that: the price be graduated
and reduced below the present minimum
rate, confining the sales at the reduced
prices to settlers and cultivators, in limited
qualities. If graduated and reduced in
price for a limited term to one dollar per
acre, and after the expiration of that term
for a second and third term to lower rates,
a large portion of these lrnds would be pur
chased, and many worthy citizens who are
unable to pay higher rates, could purchase
homes for themselves and their families.—
By adopting the policy of graduation and
reduction of price, these inferior lands will
be sold for their real value, while States in
which they lie will be freed from the incon
venience, if not injustice, to which they are
subjected, in cosequence of the U. States
continuing to own large quantities of pub-,
lic lands within their borders, not liable to
taxation for the support of their local gov
ernments.
I recommend the continuance of the pol
icy of gruiting prelemptions, in its most;
liberal extent, to all those who have settled
or inay hereafter settle, public lands,;
whether surveyed or unsurveyed, to which:
the Indian titlemay have been extin-i
guishil at the time of settlement.—:
It has been found by experience, that
in consequence of combinations of pur
chasers and other causes, a very small
quantity of the public lands, when sold
at public auction, commands n higher
price than minimum rate establishes by law.'
l'he settlers en the public lands are, how
ever, but rarely able to secure their homes
and improvements at the public sales at
that rate; because these combinations, by
means of the capital they command. and
their superior ability to purchase, render it
impossible for the settler to compete with
them in the market. By putting down all
competition, these combinations o f capital
ists and speculators are usually enabled to
purchase the lands, including the improve-:
meats of the settlers, at medimum price of
the government, and either turn them out
of their homes. or extort front diem, accor
ding to their ability to pay double or duad
ruple the amount paid for them to the guy

verence of the hardy pioneers of the West,
who penetrate the wilderness with their
fain:dies, suffer the dangers, the privations.

few years, usually follow them, that we are
in a great degree, indebted tar the rapid

our population are more patriotic than tin•
hardy and brave twit of the frontier, or
more ready to obey the call of their coon
and to defend tier rights and her hon
or, whenever and by whatever elletlly as-
Salted. They should be protected front the
grasping speculator, and secured at the
inteiminn price of the public lands, in the
humble homes which they have improt
by their labor. With this end in view, all
i vexations or unnecessary restrictions

pose-d upon theta by the existing pre-emp

afford facilities to its citizens to become the
