T committee, to which was referred so
' thtrcl} of the‘Gooer‘norTa .lirmurrl Mea
aage as relates to (he Tarrflr made [he
[allowing report, which was read in the
Senate. March 8. 1847 .-
'l‘he undersigned, ti minority of the se
lect committee to which was referred so
much 0' the Governor ’a tln’ssage as relates
to the tarifl, submit the following report:
That they regret there should have been
”any difference of opinion in the committee
iin reference to the duties assigned by the
iSt'tlole; or that the majority should have
deemed it trccessar' to depart from the
usual course of legiiiative committees. It
the subject was of sufficient i'trpottnttce to
require a select reference, the Senate and
[the country had a right to eXpect a calm
land logical tilßt‘b‘Sftlutl of the question ofa
.tartff—ila el'lects upon the people and the
gorernment. in order that the true princi
ples of a just and equitable system of do
ttcs should be ascertained and set forth.
The views of the Executive having been
formally presented to the Senate. it Was
proper that a cairn and deliberate replv
should be made, either approving those
\iews. if deemed reasonable and protrer.
or exposing their fallacies, if found erron
eous. it was scarCely necessary, in the
opinion of the undersigned, to descend in
to the troubled arena of political warfare;
or to arraign, try and condemn the dem
ocrary ofthe country for the purpose of
nxplaini’ng the operation of taritl duties.
'lhe warm, and perhaps intenperatr,
contest of IS‘H, lot presidt t.l of the Union
and Governor of the State, is made tt prom.
incnt, it not the principle, feature in the re
port of the majority of out cornrnittee.-
Both politictfl partie- freely participated in
the ucitement and perhaps cxtravagaocies
of that period; and the undersigned have
no trial) to renew the angry recollections.
In justice to themselves, however. as well
as the great party thus harshly arraigned
and condemned, without even the usual
formality of a trial. or lltc production of
proof, by the majorily of the committee.
they must be permitted to say, that If
“Polk. Dallas. Shunk and the tariff of
1842.” uere in any instance adopted as
the "battle cry" of the democracy, it was
rather as idle bravado than the deliberate
manifestation of political sentiment.
lfany conclusion can legitimately result
from the premises so broadly and authori
tatively assumed by the majority. it is this:
"That the act of 1842 should be regarded
ISIS the settled policy of the government-:
‘and therefore Pennsylvania should demand
its restoration as a matter ofright." That
such conclusion, however, is in every res
pect erroneous. may be abundantly shown
by a reference to the provisions of [below
and the history of its passage.
1' will not be denied. that' the meagre
majoritiel in both branches of Congress, in
“ler of the measure. were not produced
without extraordinary exertions, and per
haps compromise of principles. Some of
the most ardent friends of protection, to
gardrd it..but ,as a tempuraryexpedient,
and proposed to limit. its existence to a
brief term. 'l'hus. Mr. Merrick. a most
Eble member of the Senate, belonging to
the some political party with the majority
of your committee, designated the bill of
1842, pending its passage in the Senate.
as a measure "to fax thejrttcresls of the
agriculturalrsla for the benefit of the man
ufacturers,” that “it was unjual and um:-
qual," and moved “that it last but two
years.” Mr. Evans, belonging to the
some party, regarded it ntuch in the same
light, and did not think ‘far the sake of
some four or five manufacturers that the
whole of the shipping intern! auglr! to be
sacrificed." The duty on railroad tron
twao regarded as excessive by the Sartre
gentleman, and who subaequently introdu
ced a bill into the Senate to reduce the
duttes upon that article; iron out being one
of the staples of his'particular constituen
cy. Mr. Preston also advocated its limi
tation; and for which Mr. Crittenden'and
eight others of the some political party vo
ted. John M. Clayton. in a speech‘at
\‘Viltnington. in 1844. said—tin my hum;

it would hare been a better law for pro
tection than tltc law notv in force. It
would have better guarded the revenue av
‘goinst fraud in the foreign valualion_. and
it would more effectually have checked ex-
Cessive itnporlations, {which is one of the
greatest curses of the country}. In July
last, a committee of gentlemen extensively
engaged in manufacturing. iha letter to
Mr. Webster, written In reference to a
compromise bill, which he had irt conternr
'plation, expressed the opuuon-‘ that a re:
.duclion of twenty five per cent. on the du

be made without seriously‘afi'ecttng the
manufacturing interests ol the countrya
,‘|n'Septernber. 1841. Mr. Clay, when
enforcing upon the Senate the necessity'of
abiding'by the principles of the compromise
act, said, '.he would v‘otefor the tax on tea

next session the tax would certainly he

zed by the' compromise act. imposed on
other articles: He thought tea and (bike
the most desirable articles on which to
mine revenue.” And again, in March.
1842: upon the‘intrnrluctinn ol his pro
gramme oli measuren, he indicated clearly
his policy in relerence tn the tariff, in the
loilowing emphatic language: ' Let me not
he misunderstood. trnd let me entreat that
I may not be misrepresented. lam not

for abiding by the principles ol the com

same time‘give an incidental protection to
our home industry. It there be here a sin

and propriety of this. i shall be glad loser
and hear “ho he is.’ In 1843, alter he:
had left the Senate, and speaking in reler
once to the impoliry ol establishing a high

says, in a letter to Mr. Bronson: ‘ I regard
it (the act ol 189.8) aa highly disgraceful'
to American legislation.’—'l think therel
is no danger ol :1 high turill being ever as

who seppor ted the blri with so much telne
lance; and ita modification urged at every
subsequent session at Congress. with the
unreasiog cotnplaintaol the aouth and west‘
”against its provisions. where is the author-l
rty lor the extraordinary declaration by the
majority ol the committee, that ' up mur
mur tvaa heard ogainal its operations in a
ny section ol the country,’ or tojusitily the
conclusion that the ' law has designed to.
be_the settled and the permanent policy ol:
the country P‘ Such odeclaration, and uni
inference so strained. can have but the ef- I,
lect to weaken the influence ol their entire’
report. .
'l‘ho Guvcntor says: ‘ The history of our
legislation on this subject, demonstrates
mmt woclusivcly, that a turifl. to be per
mament, w! ich is so essential to the nun.

and cqui!ablc.' To the“ truth oUhls sen
tnuent the undemigncd yield a ready as

should be unsatisfactory to the majority ol
the committee. The adjustment ol a tar
it! for revenue. on the ptlnciples ol ducti
minatioo in lnvor at home protlucttons, be
comes a question of confltcting tntereuts,
ctther real or imaginary, between dam-rent
sections 0! the Union. Such alwnvs has
been the case. and perhaps slWsys will be.
And who will any that, a standard of equi
ty between such conflicting interests ought
not to be sought tor and established P A
district at the country producing a given
article, will endeavor- through its- repre
sentatives in Congress, to have the rate 0!
duty fixed as high as possible, whilst the
representatives ol snother portion. consu
ming such article. oill endeavor to estab
lish the lowest Isle of duty. in almost
every instance ol such conflict, both ex
tremes are wrong and oppressive; srzd the
only way oi settling the question sstistac ‘
torily. and theretoro permanently. is to
make such an adjustment of the rates oil

desire to do justice to all sections of the
Union, and all classes of our people, may
seem to destrr. ‘
Charges upon imports are almost the on-i
ly reliable source of revenue to sustain thei
National Government. This system has
been practiced eier since'tlte adoption 0!‘
the constitution. and has givrn general sat-ll
isfactiun. There are no considerable num-i
her at our people willing to adopt a systeml
of direct taxation in its stood. We must,
ther’elore, in the adjustment of such chsri
ges have due regard to the wants of the
government. But in sosrranging the chai
ges on imports, it is the right and the duty
nl Congress. to extend all the aid and en-
couragcmcnt to the agricultural. mauulac
