^ for protection will increase, until, with united voices, the friends of the system would demand its renewal. If to this we add, that, the compromise act, the tar*IT must be revived and remodelled, who can look at such a concurrence of powerful causes vvithou' seeing that it would be almost impossible to prevent the revival of protective system, should the scheme of distribution jiib adopt, ?d ? I hazard nothing in-aHsertipg that the renewal would certainly follow^ and as this would be one of the most promirh^hnd dubrale consequences of that scheme, I propose to consider it full, iu its most important beatings. One of the most striking features of the system its tendeocy to increase. L> t it be once recognised, and let the mos' moderate duties be laid for protection ; but put the system in motion, and its course would be onward, onward, by an irresistible impulse, as I shall presently show, from past experience ; and hence the necessity of vigilance, and a determined resistance to every course of policy that may by possibility lead to its renewal. This tendency to increase, results from causes inherent and insepnra - - - .? ? i : 1 :.~ir We from tnc system, onu nas cviutuu by the fact, that every tariff for protection has Invariably disappointed its friends in the protection anticipated, and has been followed periodically, after short intervals, by a demand for another lanff with increased duties,to afford the protectien vainly anticipated from its predecessor. Such has been the result throughout, from 1316 to 1828, when the first and last protective tariffs were laid, which I propose now to show by a very brief historical sketch of the rise and progress of the system. The late war, *i.h the embargo, and oth. er restrictive measures that preceded it, almost expelled our commerce from the ocean, anifdiverted a vast amount of capital, - that had been employed in it, to manufactures. Such was the cause that led to the system. After the termination of the wur, there was, on th^part of Congress and the country, the kindest feed big toward the manufacturing interest, accompanied by a strong desire so to adjust the duties (iadis pensable to meet the expenses of Government, and to pay the public debt) ns to aL ford them ample protection. ! he matiu factum* were consulted, and the net of116 was modelled to their wishes. They regarded it at affording sufficient and permanent protection, and I, in my ihen waul of experience as to the na;uro of the system, did not dream that we-would hear any more oTtariff, tHJ it would become necessary to * k readjust the duties. after tiic discharge of bflic -debt. Vaio expectation 1 Two year# bad not pissed away before the manufacturers were n* clamorous aa ever for additional protection ; and to meet their wishes, new duties were lard, from time to time, with tite same result; bu* the clamor stiH returned, till 1824, when the tariff of that year pasted, which was believed on all Bides to be ample, and was coos'dtffvd, like * that ef 'M, to be a final adjustment of the question. It was under this impression 1 " that the South acquiesced (reluctandy) in 1 the very high duties jt imposed. Ti e late Goncral Hayne, then a distinguished atom' ber of tiiis body, took very active part a. gainst it; and I well remember after la pa. ssag*>, that he contolod himself with the be. lief that, though oppressive, it would be the last. His expectation proved as vain as mine ii '16. Before two years had passed, * we were again besieged with the cry of the inadequacy of the protection ; and, io the summer of 1827, u large convention of manufacturers from all parts was held at Harrisburg, in Pennsylvania, to device a new and moro ample scheme of protection to be laid before Congress at the next session. That movement ended in the ad op. tioQ of the tariff of 1628, whi -b in order to h1 make sore work, went far beyond all its 1 predecessors in tbo increase of du'y. Th- 1 duties were raised on tho leading articles of 1 consnmpiion from fgtf to fifty pe r e<>nt. a- 1 bove former duties, as hiuh us tjbey were. 1 I speak conjeemrally, without any c? rtain 1 data. In less than three years, even this 1 enormous rise proved to be insufficient, ns f 1 ?? -l i, i 1 snau presenriy snow, ana wouiu cerawiy . have been followed by new demands' lor protection, had not (he small but gallant, -1 State I represent, arrested its fur b r progress?no, thai is not strough enough? brought the system to tho ground, against the resistance of the Administration and ' Opposition?never, I trust, to rise again. The fact disclosed by this brief historical sketch is, that there is a constant tendency to increase in the protective system ; and that every increase of doty, however high, . requires periodically, after a short interval, en additional iacrease. This, as I have stated, is notaccideatal, but is tho result of causes inherent in the system itself, in the present condition of our country. It originates in the fact that every increase of protection is necessarily followed by an expansion of tiie currency, which expansion must continue to rniarg* till the increased prico of production in consequence shall become equal to the increased duty, and when the importation > of the articles prohibited may again take place with profit. That is the principle ; and as it is essentia) to the peace and pros. IVAf tt?r #vf tUn a^nrttvffv llint it ek/vml<l La ^1-? * ^VIUJ l/l UJW \M/UI|l|Jf 1II(H IV OIIVUIW l/W VIVO I iy understood, I intend to establish its truth beyond doubt or cavil; and for that purpose, j shall begin with the tariff of 28, the last and by far the boldest of the series, - wirh the view of illustrating, in its case, the operation of the principle. I entreat the Senate to give roe its fixed attention. The principle, well understood, will shed a flood of light on the past and present difficulties of the country, and guide us in safety in our future course. To give a clear conception of the operation of the tariff of 1828, it will be necessary to premise that it comprehended all th* leading articles of consumption that could be manufactured in our country ; amounting in value to not much less one-half of lb* whole of the imports; that the duties on tbeso articles were Increased enormously, as,his been stated?say not less than forty or fifty per cent ; that the average domesti exports at the timeAvas not much short < sixty millions of dollars, and the imports fc consumption about the aunie; that the ret jenue from the imports was about half ib? sum ; and that of the exports, about thret fourths consisted of the great agriculture staples of the South. What, then, wn these fuct*,must have been i's necessary of ! petitions on the currency of the manufacl l uring States 1 We export to import. 1 is imfiotsible o continue to export for nn considerable length of time, without a cor responding return of imports. It would b to give away our labor for nothing. Ou exports, then, continuing at an average o aixty millions, in what, under he operatio of the tariff of 1828, must the correspond ing imports to the game amount return Not, certainly, to the same extent as befor its passage, in thearticleson which it hads greatly increased the duties ? Its object i ra sing them, was to give our manufacture the home marker, by excluding the for eign articles of the same descrip ion. If failed in that, it failed in accomplishing an good whatever, and became ati unmixed ev il, wkhout beoefr to any one. The return then, of imports, must have been principal) in articles on which the duties were not rai sed, a*f?r as the consumption of the coun try grants, and the balance, after payinj what ires due abroad, in gold and silver silver. Tho first effect, then must hav t M MA in Oil oeen iu luni mc iuroij(ii u.wimuj^ m uu favor ; n most important consequ- nee con nected with the increase of gold and silve in relation to the currency. Tue ncx must have been to turn th? domestic exchan ges still moi ? strongly against the stapl States, and m favor ol the manufacturing io u ;d*rstand this portion oflhe operation j mustagah rep??ot that the-object of tin tariff was to cut off the consumption of ihi foreign nrticles, in order that they should b supplied by our own manufactures. Th necessary consequence of this must hav been to diminish the demand abroad, am to increase it in the manufacturing Stntet end thereby to turn the influx of gold am silver to thatpbint, in order to purchase th supplies there, which we hive been in th habit of obrnrning from abroad. Thrs caus 's combined, must have the efFect o adding greatly to the capacity of the bank in that quarter to extend their discounts am accommodations, and with it the cirenlatio of iheir i.otcs. VVi;ha growing supply c specie, and the exchange favorable in ever direction, as must hove been the case, thor is no limit to tbe business of b inks, nor ar th y slow to p-rceiveor to act on such fav arable circumstances. Nor must we over look ano her powerful cause in operation fiscal acdon of the Government, throug tho o;>eration of which the vast sums collec ted und'-r such high duties, was transferrer *o the same quarter, to be uppicd in dig charge of the Dublin debt, and disbursed oi . r - the umummeraijlu objects of expendilun then1._ Under the operation of such powerfu causes, there coulJ not but bo a vast am sudden expansion of the cunency when they were in such great activity, and witl hat expansion a corresponding increase o prices and the cost of production. Noi could this s:at? of things cease liti the in crooned cost of production become equa to the duty imposed for protection. A that point; and not before, must specie coast to flow in, and :he exchange to bo favorable but when reached, the tide must turn, im porta:ious of the protected articles woult recommence, specie flow, out, undexchang es become adverse.

Th * first authority I shall adduce, is front the report of a committee of the othei House, rn ido in February, 1832. by Camp b**ll P. White, the chairman, then a membej from (he city Of New York. The report ii evidently drawn with great care, and by oni familiar with the suhjt-c> ; and h is the ad vantage of b ing on another subject, (th< currency,) without any referrence to the tu riff or protective system, un i evidently with ut any knowledge of its operation. H< ai then, what the report says ; 44 The recent export of specie has swep away the delusive coloring given to the ac tual result of produrtioo in 1829. 1830 and the early part of 1831. Real estate ap predated greatly ; local stocks commandei unheard of prices; warehouses and dwell ings were improved and embellished, an money was so abundant, that it could read ily bo obtained to any amount, upon prom issory notes. How changed is the genera aspect of things within a few months ?

Should doubt, however, s'ill remain in the mind of any on*' after all this nccumuhJ tion of evidence, I will next call the attem* - ion of he Senate to a fact which must be d .conclusive with all disposed to receive the ruth.

H'-r bank cir<*uluik>n y doubled in. the short space oftwo years, as v ripp' ars by the table, Massachusetts is d?e ) the next urid we find hers is the next flights e>t, b ing sixty-five p?*r cent. New York is still less so, and hers is but forty per cent.; is and Pennsylvania, the least of the four, had, ?- excluding the Bunk of the U"il"d States, inr, creased only twenty p?r cent. If the stateic ment had extended farther South, and token 'c in the siaple Spates, I venture ihtlo in mak>1 iqg the assertion that, instead of expansion, id their bank circulation would, f r the same r, period, have been found in the oppositir s ate, lorthe reverse reason. It will be seen to ;be Bank of the United States had oxpanded i- sixty.seven per cent. This great increase, \ compared to the local banks of Penusylt nia, may probably be at fibuted partly loans negotiated farther East, and not ii probably because Ivt accommodatic were somewhat enlarged, from causes cc oected with her e?florti, at the time, to obt? a renewal of her chartfer.
