annual report of tlie Secretory of tho Treasury,
excoptin;; .thnt part which tcfate* to the cutau*

to the lloutic the propo?itiou? with which" they

after providing tor the deficiency in tin* appro

with unmixed satisfaction, 4* that improvement
in the condition of the public revenue, which
will allow an immediate alleviation of tlic bur
tlieiiH imputed by the necessities of the war,**
they well know that such an ullcxiution ran onlv

(fly < the wall's of the -jo*, eminent, shall not
Mirtheii unnet e?>arily the industry of the citi
?Acti* ; which Khali be capable of repairing, by
expansion of the powers of Koine of ita parts,
the injures which war tnav inflict in others ; and
above alt shall be disencumbered from debt a?
x uon as the rcRuurcoH of th? country ami the
condition* of its contracts will permit. Pub
lic debts have indeed sometime# been consider
ed as giving htabilitv anil order to a state, but
the committee can never believe that a govern
ment which ttecut'cft every civil and political
light to t'.ie grent body of the people, can want
that security which would bo aflorded by the
distribution of any amount of annual in'tercHt
upon its debt, which to 1m received by the few
must lie paid by the many. It may lie true, that
a public debt only makes a different distribution
of the income of society, but it pays the stock
holders what should be'recoived for supporting
the ncarnnn and the soldier. That government
indeed does well, which when forced into w ar,
Mug* into the content every rcsourco which cre
dit or revenue, can furnish \ but it ueglecta one
i?f its first duties, when it allow* the sou son of
peace to pas? uwayAvithoutnu adequate* provi
sion for removing^yery inc umbra lire upon it*
ellective revenue. Tho committee accordingly
( otisider it an indispensable rtquWfe in any ur
ranie ueiit of ivventic ftiid tsvpcndittire lit peace 1
?'..it it ?'iall provide for the rapid cxtiiiguUlunentJ
?if the i.'ibiu: debt. < I
To attain t' is object considerable revenue will
b?* required. In HMectiiig flic taxes which should
< iimpoMt it, the* duties upon imported article*
may hi* expected to furoisu flic principal supply.
( heap .tint ea?v in their collection, paid like all
indirect tax?*,\vhe.n it ia convenient to pay tliein*
they will li? found under a system of prudent
moderation, to di?courage no branch of national
industry. Duties indeed, either upon impor
tation or exportation, lecm fo lic the natural re-,
source of countries tldulv neuplfcd ; which, ex
porting a Inrjre amount of tneir agricultural pro
ductions, receive in return the manufactures of
older states. Tho distance, too, of die states
from which our importations arc made, renders
it more, difficult to ecade the payment of duties
here thtm ill countries which are separated from
ar(i \ e at.d cnterpmiug neighbors by a river ??r
rouveiitioiial line, Hut na our agriculture oh*
i.wn* markets at home, t** wealth spreads it*ulf
over inland countries, where commerce can hut
no iierl'-ctly follow, our itnporls a.< well an our
e\j oris, must Ik-ar a continually lessening l"'0*
portion to the wealth of this country. t.
\ut1 t'Yi'it now, while the principal Hourco or
ordinal y re; enue in ncace mU?t bo furiiiahcd by
tin ?Mi? iinii8, it in prof?;it>l? that they could not l,e

a iioo upon thein.lmvo tarn too fully developed
by rcamt experience to allow the ojtninittee to

which the v are cnpnltlc of making in peace* tint*
appear* in the moment when twit' require* larger
r iittt ilniliot'8, 'fhe government which In left at
.-?it !i n time to explore now *y?tcmft of internal
'?Nation* to discover and draw into the public
m r\ i ?? i? the men who are c affable of tilling the
?.'i!U rrni department* of the reveutie, in reduced
?o a ( oselitio.i in which the zeal and bravery aitd
r \ ?- vf l!ie nation can produce their nutu*
rat effects but impel fcctly s (he committee there
fore, concur fully with tho Hecrotary of Treasu
ry in the opinion which ho ban expressed, 44 that
the establishment of n revenue bvstcin, which
shall hot bo exclusively dependent upon (ho sup
plies of foreign commerce, np|?ennj, at thh* junc
ture, to claim particular attention." .
Ait a result of these general views, tbo com*
mittec, with deference to tbo house, recommend
the nilpplion of the plan of revenuo contained
in tho report of tbo Hecretary of tbo Treasury,
with the exception of (hat part of it which pro
|H)Ae? to continue the additional duttWon post
age, ami to reiieal tbo additional duties on li
cense* to retailera of wines, spiritiioUH li<|iiort?,
and foreign mcechandisc imposed by the act of
I December, IBM. The communication -of intel
ligence between the different parts of the coun
try, it appears to tho committee to be tbo just
policy of our government to facilitate and en
courage | and although it might have been right
to exact a revenue from it, under circumiitancRg
which made it necessary to apply every resource
to the defence of the state, the present Hituation
of the Treatturv may well allow of itH repeal.?
Tito duties on licenses to retailers admit, in tho
opinion of the committee, of a mollification,
which, by proportioning the price of the license
in some degree to the business of ihe retailer,
shall render ihem as productive as the new rates
and le*s oppressiic than the old ones. -Hut as
such modification could only apply to licenses
for I Kir, the committee propone to make it tho
subject of a future renort.

which jfc proposed for too payment of the-prin
cipal of the public debt exclusively of the inter
est. ttthe iinftn.il revenue,, under the law pro
posed, he S15,30J>,5(K)t and the ordinary alinuul
expense be 1.1,771,001), there will be a bttlniice
of 9,000,8.11* which may be applied, as Congress
shall direct, to national defence, to internal im
Rrovement and to the extinguishment of the pub
e debt. The considerations which have been
atready adverted" to* an enjoining the policy of
providing for tlie extinguishment of the public
debt as hooii as tho resources of the country ami
theconditions of it* contracts will permit, in
duce the committee to proposo that to that ob
ject muy be annually appropriated seven million
after the Vein- fhi 0, which added to tin* sum ap
propriated to the puyment of interest, will form
a sinking fund of $13*100,000, ami extinguish
the public debt in less than twelve years. This
appropriation won lit still leave an excess of ail
iiuul revenue above the estimates of ordinary ex
penditure fufnished by tho secretary of the trea
sury, of upwards of two millions ami a half, to
i?u applied to any other branch of public service.
| Tlie committee have confined their observa
tions to tlie receipt* and expenditures of a pert
| manent pepcc establishment. The motlification
of the plan of the secretary of the ti easury which
thofchave proposed, will produce too small an
eflMt upon tho receipts of 18|(? to reunit e a dis
tinct exposition of them* and the dcAciclicy ill
tlie receipts of 1810 (suggested in the treasury
report) cannot disturb the calculations which
have been submitted of tho receipts and expend
itures of succeeding years, since the estimated
deficiency '?* \*** titan seven millions and the
outstanding revenue on the first Jan. 1817, will
be abirtlt twenty millions. If however, the de
msnd upon the treasury in 1817, in consequence
of Congress assuming the payment of expenses
incurred during war, which it has not yet sanc
tioned# or from other cause; shall be en creased
beyontl the present estimate or beyond un a
mount for whlth the unappropriated revetturrtiay
provide, the sinking fulid may be chergeil ftir
the year 1817 with the payment of tlie treasury
notes which may be Issued under tho laws now
in Ion e. In preventing an addition of new Wild
oil debt, it will nerform itsolHceas usefully as 111
