Pickens said that as the bill had es tordav been laid aside on his responsibi ity, and-as he was now prepared to go on, maust decline to yield the floor, and be BC cordingly proceeded in his remarks. After some preliminary observations..he said that the bill under consideration had two objects; the first, to raise revenue for the supply of. the wants of Government, 6 'NL~and the second, to afrd protection to ex tensive interests connected with thi domes tic manufactures of the country. His purpose was to confine himself prin - cipally to the first brunch ef the subject. and, ao doing so. chiefly to consider the views of the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means on the financial ques eJon. The Chairman of that Committee (Mr. Fillmore) had wade his estimate of the imports or the country on the basis of -our imp'orts in 1840. which was $197,000, 000, of which $18.000 000 were reshipped, 4a vmg $69.0t0.O00.

The great question presented was, how enuld we roisg, as required, according to the estimate of the Committee on Finance, 27.000,000 revenue from $77,000,000 im parts. The gentleman had said tha.$27. 000.000 reveuue was necessary for the wants of the Government, and he propos ed to raise it by imposts, or in other words. by taxation on imports. It would require a duty of 36 per cent on this amount of $77,000,000 to raise $27,000.000; and the question ias, whether this amount of im ortations would produce this revenue? 11r. P's impression was, that those who supported tis bill under the idea that it would give 327,000,000, would find them - selves totally deceived. The question which the peopleof this country would put to themselves was, why (41 they propose this 30 per cent or $27,000.000 on imports; to raise this irmense amount of revenue from onl one branch of national industry ? .did not propose to go fully into the question.of who .ere-4o pay this amount of W1,000,000. lie did not ire to endway fhat. it fell on the producers, and yet to say that it fell'on the consumers was a declarationas full of absurdity as the coantary opinion, to say the least of it. sine out of ten it would fall on-the dprodners both: is the first set producer, and in thesecond mer.

Whtwas the situationl of the coun* ~siepresent time f-The gentleman hs pr'oposed a tax bill preciucly as if thecoudF tr7.Was the sm as-in 1828eor 1832. Now, 9 .wtth a circulaioof $94,000,000, and 680. 000,000 of specie, they proposed tonievy a -duty of 36 per cent on the importations of she country.under the idea that they could collect in she samenmanner as in 1828 and '32, when we hda circulation orsio06, 000,000, which was- more than 50 per 6 - cent more than the specie at that time in the coutry, and about $10,000.000 more a than the cir-'ulation of' 1842. while the population of the countrv was five maillions -less than at the present tinmc. Is was a tax hlich, under existing circumstances, the - 6 country would never pay, because it never T could pay it. Under existing circumstan - tses, a20 er cent duty was egual soma40 -or even 4)per cent duty in 1828 or 1832. x What was she-difference as regarded she - capital and labour of this country -at this i time and in18S32! A: that time the domes ti prdut of this country commanded a fair price, niasithere was but listle surplus ~-~ .labor or capital; all of it was invested. But now there wa a suarplus capital to a vast extent lying- absolutely idle in our -larg cities; and so it was with regard to surpus labor. If they expected so raise -$27,000,00-i..36percenston 877.000. ~' 4)00-to raise it from the imnporlh of the e,.~.~contry exclusively, they would be entire ydeceed.It would take another and erenteennel nder this protection, and -he surplus labor and capital of this coun y' ~would bc invested in the production of Ai ~ bosevery articles they proposed 'to pro __ ~'r eC by'these high restrnctions.* gi:what was the situation of a we ry important and growing ro~ison of this T Confederacy-thbe interior est-as com pared with 1828 and 1&321 A t that period -t was com1paratively a nen' country ; the whbole of its lanhor was devoted ;M.cuttiog -,- down the forests, reducing their freids to cultivation, and building their hotuses. It was then a small consumning portion of - this Confederacy, and had hut very little interest in the duties imposed on foreign ~* .i~ = ,"~articles. N4o country had exhibited so re -pid changes within the last ten or fifteen - i,.. -~years.. it was now tho most extensive, Sand he might almost say. eonsideriag the 'giesand richness of the territory, the -..4 wealthiest portion of this country; at was desigsdd in the next ten yearn to he mhe" Iare consuingi coitatty, either directly or todireetdy, and it skirted a thousand miles of the finest water in the world, thus .afobrding an easy means of communication -'with the British colonies. AVr.P. referred to the tariff bill of Sir Peel. So far as grain was concern 1s-dnitted that it would not operate grqal estentrop the interior .West; reTicero beoftand p'ork, now tass. 4ber,wotld be shipped ~sn to the:West would he - Iidto ,and theoce shipped as 'Cnd lour ghindsIP>riish bot i ana id, atif would"eted egte Ah 0, West, separated by a short distance from the Caada frontier; and thus their impor tations being duty free in British bottoms.o so far- as revenue was concerned, thei .would find themselves totally deceived as to-the revenue to be collected. He id not mean to say that smuggling would be car ried on by gentlemen on this side of Usna da. but th morality of the age had re ceived a great blow by thefalse, unjust,. and resitictive measures that had been adopted; and when our taxation was rame ed so high as to prove unreasonable, the morality which will induce them to pay a tax when the same articles could be got duty free. would rarely be found. Those gentlemen who expected protection under tile duty of 36 per cent. would find them selves greatly deluded. Mr. P. did not propose to discuss the q uestion bow we were to raise revenue. e held the gentleman to the bill on the table. He took the negative of the ques tion, and left the gentleman to find out the ways and means to support the Govern ment; but he said, according to all the lightsor past experience. if they expected in this matiner to raise this amount of $27,000,000, they would find themselves deceived. This Government could not last ten years and support its expenses by taxation levied exclusively on its foreig commerce. le defied them to collect the revenue for the support of Government, if they intended to collect it exclusively on the importations of the country. What was the situation of the world in regard to this matter? Twenty-five years ago it had come out of a universal war, and then the idea of restriction and retali ation on foreign commerce had universal prevalence throughout all the nations of Cristendom. But the whole face of modern society had changed. Mr. P. adverted to the efect of steam power connected with commerce in brioging us in direct and al most daily communication with all the nations of the world. and the influence of these mighty agents in connexion with that great reformer of modern times-the free press-lu connecting us in union and bar mony with every people on the globe. Restriction and retaliation on foreign com merce was against the univerval spirit of the age. The old notion of restriction and retallia lion arose on the assumption that it was ne cessary to secure our national indepen deuce, aid, ia the true spirit of Chinese philosophy, to raise around us barriers by which we could be protected from the plunder of a world. Better for us at once to lay aside all the luxuries of commerce to strike down the arts and refinements of life-to put out the lights of science and learning, and sink back again into thick barbarian darkness. Restriction or retali ation would end in confusion and disap pointment. What was free trade but the very soul and life of modern eivilization? and were they now to strike at this great power, which was going fortb conquering and to conquer, to redeem a world sleep ing iaduarknews -- * - - Dat tier isio had been full of power and wealhb; but who wvas there tbat had seemn the fial end of England. and could look vithout ahudde'ring at the desolation that most sooner or later be spread all over that land! Mr. P. drew.a lowring picture of the misery amid wretchedniess of the poor peasant of Ireland, as lie returned at night to divide among his starving family their scanty pittance. the proceeds of his daily labor, and of the poor factory girl of Eng land; antI would ask of them if they felt the blessings of JBritish wealth and protec tion? Their cries of vengence ascended to lieaven against this accursed system of ineqrality and injustice; and was ihere aught in this system of inequality to com mend it to the admiration of freemen? The efli-ct of this whole le-gislative re striction would be to discoirage the impor tations amn which duties could(1 be collectedl to one fourth of the amount, and to transfer the trade to she St. Lawrence in British bottoms ; and the result of that would tie toe strike at that great right arm of our na tional defence, our commercial marine. lie would not siive a fig foer our rnavy, our ships, or our guns floatinig on the high seas, without an active and enwtrprmng cotmmer ial marine rean chem and give them power and -gy As to the other 'eranch of the subject the effects of our legislation on the distribu tion of wealth and thme wages of labor. The large class of interests which es pec ted 'by these restrictions to have duomestic manufactures protected. would itn like manner be deceived. It was said that a tariff was necessary to preserve specie in this country. He could not understand the nmodtus operondi ofna restriction prevent ing the exportation of gold and silver. Mr. P. proceeded to show that this was not the case; but, granting that this would he the effect, he contended that the specie itself might be expanded as well as paper, and prduce disastrous effects on the trade of the cotintiry, if we. had more specie than was necesacry to conduct our domestic ex canges. It was to he brought buck here and centered in the protective regions, and become. the basis of an esounded circula tion and expanded credit ! What would be the effect of thIs local expanso of the currency on the interests of domestic Is-oor connected with manufactures in thIs coun try? The prices In a very few years would come up to the very level of the re striction imposed, and then there would be a demand for a new expansion and a ne; protection, and the domestic prices would be swelled up by restriction after re striction, or if that was refused, they would go through a series of disorder .and ruin back again to their former standard. IMr, P. referred to a table of the exports aiditpors from 1829 to 1833, inclusive, andflron 1833 to 1841, inclusive, showing that the annual excess of the Imnportations of specie above the exportations had been itili larger in the Iatter period, and ar. gting thience...that instead or restriction -vn thojagratato ofspese,4aL wa Ai I Alf P pO6 e gDirobdUsot bat foreign enhanges gers the - :urreucy ofa c"try, coitenl they wera-only iheiest -ofrtrad.e a two I ountries. la1ilinsratio of t .rsfer red to the opeitiOusofthe n' England uder the.Bank or severat years succeeding 18 The true protection to dom Ues labor, and manufactures,.. sisted in fixed and stable aid fixed saffstable curreney datis be lowhligor legatha the genious,syirit, and'etfeipise L.e people would meet the euig of the case, and accommodate h'e to the legislation which was gwed ,geas and spirit of Pennsylvania and land must not be confined go y of a home market: they .s.d into the foreign marke consumption uf thse-i" b a fixed legislation r industry. would be protected n twenty years the wanisoi war ket would be too limited fort .es ; they must n abroad,and 4Fr. tmust increase in ;mrsprity. wh aod would take a downward, P. referred to she-eiecite id all classes in England;o?
