There being no direct taxes of any kind, duties of excise, or other internal duties, in operation urider the authority of the United States, the public
revenue,,by their existing laws, arises almost entirely from duties upon foreign merchandise imported, and upon ^tonnage, and from the sale of the
public lands. There are other brariches from which small and occasional
receipts, are derived: as dividends on bank stock^, the post office, arrearages
of taxes due under former laws, and other incidental payments ; the aggregate of which, whether from temporary or permanent sources, is inconsiderable, as will appear by statements annexed to this report, where allare recapitulated. The receipts from the .post office, indeed, have of late years
exceeded a million of dollars annually ; but this sum, exhausted foi;the most
part in defraying the expenses of that extensive and useful establishment,
performs in this, nianner the highest purposes of revenue, by contributingto
the intercourse, the trade,, and the prosperity of the country.

debts due from various banks, whose notes were received by the Government
during the suspension of specie payments, br which were heretofore used as
banks of deposite; debts of which the recovery must, in regard to a large
part, be doubtful, and in any case slow. It may be proper to add, that the
permanent deposites, generally made ih the State banks,'have recently been
withdrawn, or put in train tobe so; the pubhc exigencies which rendered it
necessary to make them, in common with those on which the losses above
mentioned are likely to occur, no longer existing. Such portioiispf the deposites as may still remain in any of these institutions will be further withdrawn, as circumstances may rerider just and expedient, until these operations are closed ; nor will they be renewed where it niay be avoidable.
It may be proper, also, to state that directions have lately been issued to
all the receivers and collectors ofthe public revenue not to receive, in any
payments made to them, bank notes of any of the State banks, of less amount
than five dollars. In discountenancing a species of paper circulation deemed to be objectionable, reference was had to the authority and exaniple of
Congress upon this point, as seen in the prohibition to the Bank of the
United States, and to the bariks, existing in the District of Columbia, against
issuing notes of a lower denoinination. To guard againstall inconvenience
to individuals fromthe adoption of this measure by the Treasury, especially
in the districts where the public lands are sold, an adequate* previous notice
was directed to precede its-enforcenierit.

-.$80,985,537 72.
Of the above amount, the only portion remaining unpaid : / .
of the revolutionary debt, is the three per cents., aniounting •'• ..
to $13,296,231 45. This sum and the subscription of seven
millions in the Bank'of United States, at five per cent (the .

United States holding an equal amourit in the shares of that
institution) are redeemable at the pleasure of the Government ; making together . - $20,296,231 45
The residue of the public debt, contracted subsequently to the 1st of
January, 1812, and amounting to $60,689,306 27-, exists in the following

The foregoing recapitulation exhibits the precise amount of the public
debt riow'dLie,,as well as the different periods at which, by the terms of the
several loans under whicH it was ^contracted, the United States are at liberty
to pay it off. Of the sum of $11,074,987 79, mentioned, under the head of
expenditures for 1825, as having been paid off in that year, $7,727,052 19
were on account of principal of the debt, and the remainder on account of.
iriterqst during the first three quarters of the year. Nearly the whole of the
principal thus paid was outstanding at an interest of 6 per cent Looking
to the above recapitulation, it appears that^ in the years 1826 and 1827, a
larger amountof debt becomes redeemable than it will fall within the ordinary
surplus meansof the'Government to payin. the course of those, years, viz: a
sum exceeding sixteen milhons iri the former, and thirteen milhons in
,the latter year. Both these portions ofthe debt are also at an interest of six
per cent. In 1828, the amount redeemable is at appoint which it may be
hoped the stated means bf the Treasury for that year will reach ; the ability
to pay off increasing as the process of reduction advances, both by the increasing means of,the riation and rthe annual liberation of interest on the
amount of debt reduced. But in the year 1829 only a very small amount
becomes redeemable, viz: less thari orie millibn, and in the year 1830 a sum
nolarger. •
> .
,/ • '
,
.
.At'the period of thelast annual report from the Treasury, no portion of
the debt became redeemable iri either of those years; and with a" view to a
more equal diffusion of payments, as well as to effect a saving in interest, it
was recommended that the excess of debt, which could not by the ordinary
resources of the Treasury be discharged in-1826 and 1827, (the debt redeemable in the former year then-standing at $19j000,000,) should be^
thrown in-equal portions.upon theyears 1^29 and 1830. To carry this

SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY..

recommendation into effect, so far as applied to the year 1826, a loan of
twelve millions was recommen ded,-at 5 per cent.; one half to be redeemable
in 1829, the other half in 1830 ;. the entire twelve millions- being intended
to constitute a fund with which, in conjunction wifh the arinual surplus
mean? of the Treasury, to pay off the nineteen millions redeemable in 1826.
The prin'ciple ofthe recommendation was adopted by Congress, but not.its
precise terms. An act was passed on the 3d of March,-1825, authorizing an
exchange of stock to the amount of twelve milhons-of dollars, at four and a"
half per cent, for a stock of hke amount at six per cent.; the latter being so
much of the stock of 1813 as was intended by the act to be redeemed. The
act also authorized a loan tothe same amount, and at thesame rate of interest, to accomplish'the same obje.ct; both modes not to be pursuedi, if either
succeeded. The new stock of four and a half per cent., whether proceeding,
from the exchange or the loan, was, by the terms of the act, to be subject
to' redemption in 1829 and 1830, in equal portioris. The proper measures
were taken tb execute this act, but have prevailed only to a limited extent . The operation of exchange, which was first resorted to, took effect to
the amount of $1,585,138 88; and.this sum, divided into equal parts, forms
the two sums that now stand in the general table of the debt as redeemable
in. the years 1829 and 1830, whilst they have also served to diminish, by so
much, the six per cent stock of .1813. . Prbposals for a loan for: the residue
of the sum wanted were next issued; but no offers were received.
The causes ofthe failure, it may be presumed, were the low rate of interest and short periods of redemption held out by the act, iri conjunction
with an activity in the commercial and manufacturing operations of the
country, affording higher induceriients to the investment of capital.. This
niode of dealing with the debt, whereby, through the instrumentality of new
loans, stock at a high interest is converted into stock at a reduced interest,
and whereby, also, the extinguishment of the principal is made to .fall in
payments as nearly equal as may be throiighout a given number bf years,.
is 'evidently advantageous to the public; since it not only lessens the national
expenditure,^ on account of its interest, but guards against the possible accumulation of money in the Treasury, in years, when it might remain inactive,
towards the progressive reduction of the debt. As it is a mode fully sanc^
tioned by Congress heretofore, it is respectfully recommended, on this occasion, that an act be passed, at an early day of the session, giving authority
to borrow nine milhons-of dollars, at an interest not exceeding 5 per cent,
redeemable in equal portions in 1829 and 1830, in order that the Treasury
. may be eriabled: to pay off, in 1826, the entire remaining amount of the 6 per
cent, stock of 1813 redeemable in that year. ' Nine million, with the disposable means which the Treasury will probably have at comrriand in 1826,
it is believed, will form a sum commensurate with this object Fiveper
cent: is named as the maximum of interest; and, considering the.short^periods
of redemption, it is not probable that the loan could be obtained'at a lower
rate. The contingencies of the money market might, indeed, produce more
favorable offers; but these are not to be counted upon, with any approach ta
that"certainty which'should form the basis of such a financial operation.
Shojild the act in question be passed, it is fur^ther respectfully recommended that, in the event of the loan being obtained under it, authbrity be given to
issue to the holders of the stock under the 3d of March last, exchanged stock
equal to the amount of the subscription before stated, viz: $1,585,138 88,
bearing the same rate of interest as that which may be issued under the act
•318 . ^ ^

proposed. , The twp acts will have had precisely, the same object. The second, should it succeed, will pnly have consummated an operation wbich
will date its inception from the first. If is therefore considered that it
wih belong to a proper estimate of good faith to place the stockholders
under both acts iipon a footing of equality. Those who. were willing to accede to the terms of the Government at an early day in this transaction,
should not be left in a worse, situation than those who may have held back
in the hope of better offers. Let all be treated alike. It is thus that the
Government wih exalt itself before the nation. It is thus that, substituting
an expanded justice for the mere letter of^a bargain, it will be likely to invite still larger confidence in future. It is thus that it will 'ultimately be
the gainer, by that connexion invariably subsisting, bet ween the permanent
interest of every Government, and its standing of unimpeachable and spontaneous equity in the eyes ofthe public creditor.
Should an actfor the loan of nine millions be passed,a considerable surplus ofdebt, at.6 per cent, will still remain to be provided for, for the service of 1827; morethan thirteen millions of the stock of 1814 becoming
redeemable in 1827, the whole cannot be redeemed iri that year, but with
the aid of a loan. A loan of six niillions would be sufficient, in all probabilityi for this.purpose, and is, accordingly, recommended; the interest not
to exceedfive per cent., and the amount to be also subject to redemption in
1829 and 1830, in equal portions. The effect of the two loans recommended, which it would be most desirable to authorize in distinct act^, would, it
is believed, be to enable the Government to redeem the whole of the sixper -cent stock of 1813 and 1814, in the course of 1826 and 1827. It would
also throw upon each of the years 1829 and 1830 an amountof debt equal
to about eight miUions and a.half, instead of less than one million, according
.to the'distribution as at present" existing. T h e only ^remaining stock of six
per cent would then be that of 1815, in amount under nine millions, and
a half, redeemable in 1828. Should no unforeseen expenditur.es.arise, and a
proper economy be kept up in the public adniinistration, it may reasonably
be hoped; as before intimated, that the surplus revenue at thedisposal of the
Treasury, in 1828, will be equal to the reimbursement of that surii. After
1830, the whole amount of debt, on the results herein assurned, ^vollld stand.
-at about forty millions ; full one-half of whicli will be redeemable at the
pleasure of the Government.^ No portion of it will be at an interest exceeding five, per cent, whilst the principal part will be at a rate stih lower.
With these views of thepublic debt, so enbouraging in their bearing upon
•its speedy, certain, and regular extinguishment, it is not deemed necessary
to recommend, at present,, any other measures in relation to it than the two
loans described.

I I I . OF T H E ESTIMATE OF THE PUBLIC RJEVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FOR
1826.
The public revenue is derived in an amount so preponderating from foreign cbrifimerce, that the state ofthe latter is always to be chiefly looked to,
iri every prospective view ofthe national income. As the internal busiriess
ofthe country has worn a character of activity and increase during the present year, so has also its foreign trade, by that close cbnnexion which subsists between them: The exports for the year ending on the 30th Septem'ber last have exceeded ninety-two mihions of dollars. The iinports have
exceeded ninety-one milhons. Of the exports, upwards of sixty-six millions
were of domestic, and the remainder of foreign productions.
Of the imports, upwards bf eighty-six millions were in American vessels •

of the exports,, upwards: of eighty-one millions. Considering that the vessels of those fbreign nations .with^whieh the Uriited States have the most '
extensive commercialiritercourse are now placed upon a footing of equality^
as to duties arid charges-of whatever kind, in our ports, with the vessels of
the United States, this heavy excess of American tonnage is asignai proof
of the flourishing state of oiir navigation, > It may serve to show how the
efficient protection extended to it by the early laws of Congress succeeded
in estabhshing it in a marnner to meet and overcome ah competition. Be<fore the era of those Jaws, it Is l^nown how this great interest languished;
how little able it proved,, before the arixihary hand of Government was
stretched out, to support itself ^against the established superiority and overwhelming corapetition which it had tp face in the woil^
;
The foregoirig arnount ofexports exceeds, by about seventeen millions of
dollars, the average amourit for the three years preceding. The imports
exceed, by about eleven millions, the same,ayerage. Whilst this large' ex^cess of exports, during the pastyear; arises chiefly from the produce bf the
soil, it is satisfactory to know that domestic manufactures have lent their':
•contribution.. Of the latter, there have been expprteds to the value of between .five and six millions of dollars. This is -an excess of eight hundred
thousand dbllars over those exported in 1824, and of iriore than two mil: lions' of doll ars over: those exported in 1823. The :progressive increase in
thisbranch of industry is naturally ascribable to the new4ariff. , ,. The effects of the tariff lipori the cburse of ourforeigri trade, in other,re-^
spects, havOj as yet, been but very partially disclosed. More time must ,
elapse before^such a body of; successive facts can be presented under it, as.
-may lay a foundation for confident conclusions. T h s law itself,/by the
terms bf itseimctment, has not yet come into full operation in all its parts;
and the returns in possession of the Treasury are riot yet-complete, even
for'the short period during which its principai provisions have had any efficacy. t)ne thing seems apparent: that its eftect, up to the present period,,
has. not been to diminish the general aggregate of the foreign trade of the
country. In estima,ting the value ofthe importations for the last yeai/it is
probable'tbat even an increase will be found to have taken place in some articles on which the duties were raised ; as in fabrics of cotton, and in several articles composed of irori : whilst in other articles of this last material,
^as well as in some articles composed of wool, a decrease will be observable. But a fact challenges notice, that can scarcely have been without its
ojperation upori our importations during the commercial year just closed : I t is the extensive changes that were announced in Ma:rch last, iri the tariff of
Great Britain. The trade of that country exerts such an influence upon the'
trade of other cbuntries/ that any important alterations in the former must
ailways be likely to affect,Jo a greater or less exterit, the markets of Europe
arid of the commercial world. T h e larger admission into England, whicli
the. above changes authorized, of the commodities of otHer couritries, heretofore positively or virtually excluded for ages from her ports, must have affected the prices of a portion at least of those coriiriibdities, by the prospect
of a new vent thus suddenly opened to them. This is known to have beeri
the case in regard to sorne commodities!, the duties upon which were lowered by the British tariffr-which commodities are also amongst those imported from Europe into the United Stated. It is presumable that it may have
been the casie in regard to others less distinctly kriown. Hence the addi- ^
tional value of foreign merchandise impjorted into the United .States during^
the past year cannot, in all cases, be takeh as the true measure of an addi-.
tional quantity; the laws of the tlnited States requiring the value of for-

I The importations for the year being so large, arid the provisioiis/of the
new tariff.mainly attaching to them, a corresponding amount of revenue
will arise from this source during the year. Accordingly, the gross amount
of duties accruing upon imports and tonnage, from the 1st of January to
the 30th of September last, is estimated at twenty-five million five hun-.
dred thousand dollars. The gross amount that will probably acprue for
the whole'year, is estimated at thirty-one millions. :Shpiild t^his amount,^
prove to be correct, it will exceed, by six millions of dollars, the ariiount
which has accrued during any one year since the excessive importations
that immediately followed the war, viz : those of 1815 andl816.
In estimating the clear revenue that may be expected., tb arise from the
duties of the year, the amount of them to be drawn back on exportations of,
a portion of the articles on which they have accrued, the losses that may
happen, arid the expenses of collection, are all to be taken into consideration.
The duties secured by bond during'pne^year, are chiefly payable in the year
that -follows. A portipn is payable in the same year ; but .this is generally
counterbalanced by the portion that also becornes payable in the next year,
on the importations of that year. It will be more than counterrialanccd if .
the importations prove.greater, and will>not be met if they prove less. ^Debenture certificates for Vpaymerit of drawback being demandable at any
tirne within a year after the importation of the articles intended to- be exported, the rimnber and amourit of theiii chargeable upon^he accruing duties of the year carinever be;.aceurately foreknown.

If the remark be entitled to any attention, that the recent alteratiPns in the
British laws of trade have affected the iniportations into the United States •
during the existing year, by increasing their ad valorem arnount, it ought
not to create surpriseif thevalue of importations in 1826 should fall below
that of 1825; because, admitting that these laws served, on their first promulgation, to enhance the price of certain enumerated commodities in th.e markets of Europe, it is nbf probable,that this, effect af them will be either extensive or perrnanent. One of Iheir main provisions is known to consist in
a reduction ofthe duties upon a list of articles manufactured in the different
countries bf Europe, as well as in Britain. But the most impprtant article.s
of this list were already so thoroughly established in the manufactories of
Britain, as to be beyond the reach of. competition froni abroad. Hence the
privilege of introducing them there, and especially to any large, extent,
(meaning for consumption in Britain, without here alluding to her warehousing system,-) must prove, in the end, to be nominal rather than real.
Among the list are seen fabrics of woollen, of cotton, of linen, - of hardware; and the new scale of duties is to have added, to them, in every case,
the amount of any internal excise duty previously existing, or -which may
at any time afterwards be imposed upon the same articles, when manufactured in England. The forecast of thatcountry, in all that relates to the in- ,
terests pf her manufactures, justifies the belief that she will not fail to conciliate the continued protection of them, with whatever other abrogations
she may engraft upon her commercial code, either in relation to the other"
nations of the world,.or toiler own deperidencies in whatever part of it.
It has been seen how largely the exportatiorr of our own rriaiiufactures,
during the past year, has exceeded the .exportations ofthe twp years preceding, It may be added, that in no previous year since the foundation of the
Government has the. exportation of American manufactures reached an
amount at all approaching to that of 1825.- This is knowri from official
dpcuments as far back as 1803, and no doubt can be entertained of.its being
true for the remainder of the period. This fact, in conjunction with the
iriereasing consumption of these manufactures at home, and not less of their
improving quahty, gives gratifying assurance.of the progress of this most
important branch of the. national industry. It may be considered as marking '
the commencement of an epoch in thenational resources, since an intimate
connexion is believed to, exist between the full encouragement and success
of domestic manufactures, and the wealth, the power, and the happiness of
the country. The United States would, it is thought, overlook .what is due
to the essential iiiterests of their agriculture, which can never reach the full
point of prosperity but unde.r the constant and various, demand of the home
market; of their foreign cornmerce, which can never expand to its full limit
of activity, or reap its full measure of riches, but with the aids of an active
home trade, and of an export trade enhanced in its value by being diversified
in its pbjects; ofthe exuberance of their spil. yieldirig the best materials for
so many of the fabrics which conduce'to the wants, the comforts, and the
refinements ofthe social state; of the industrv, the enterprise, the frugality,

of their people;-of the unrivalled equality of their laws, which, interdicting
exclusive rights and monopolies, invites the most energetic exerdons of every
individual in the field of competition; and, finally, of the advantages flowing
from the absence of pecuniary exactions by the hand of Government upon
the internal products and labor of the country—if they db not vigorously
uphold the manufactures of the country, now for the first time appearing to
be upon the eve of striking root. It is. a commencement that deserves every
seasonable improvement. The territorial size and fertility of a cpuntry '
depend upon nature'or upon accident. .Both the one and the other may
exist upon the largest scale ; but in vain,'if a provident Government do not
second these gifts; whilst nations destitute of them, and struggling against
positive obstacles of nature, are seen to arrive, through the wisdom.of their
policy, atthe heights of prosperity and renown. To give perfection to.the
industry of a country rich in the gifts of nature, and blessed iri the beneficence of its Government; to draw out itsobvious resources, and seek'cqnstanfly for new ones, ever ready to unfold themselves to diligentinquir}?-urged on
by adequate motives; toaugment the number and variety of occupations for its
inhabitants; to hold out to every degree of lahor, and to every modific'atiori
of skill, its appropriate object and inducement: these rank amongst the highest ends'of legislation. To organize the whole labor of a icouritry; to entice
into the widest ranges its rnechanical and.intellectualcapabihties, instead of
suffering them to slumber; to call forth,\vherever hidden,, latent-ingenuity,
giving tp effort activity, and to emulation ardor.; to create em.plo3niient for
the greatestamoLint of numbers, by-adapting it to the diversified faculties, prPpensities, and situa-tions of men, so that.every particle of ability, every shadb
of genius,'may come into requisition, is, in pther words, to lift up the condition of a country,- to increase its fiscal energy,, to multiply the means and
sources of its opulence, to imbue it with the elements of general as well as.
lasting strength and prosperity. It is in the destiny of nations^ that-the
highest.points of advancement are not to be arrived at, but through the complicated yet harmonious action of these elements. That extensive and flourishing manufactures, with the' frain of useful arts allied'to them, tend to
propel nations in this onward course, is a maxim believed to be enforced by
the best lights of experience, and to be of peculiar application to the United
States, urider the present circumstances of their interior and external condition. By aflourishing state of manufactures, we shall see rising upa new class
of capitalists, rivalling in the extent and usefulness oTtheir operations, and in
the amount of their gains, the wealthiest of our merchants; spreading, too,
by the education and habits for whichtheir pursuits when largely conducted.
make acall, useful knowledge and science, whei'ever these pursuits concentre.
By a flourishing stateof manufactures, we shall see the gains of the merchant
augmented, even in his trade of imports; since, forevery foreign fabric ex- .
eluded from consumption by the ultimate use'of the rival fabric at home,
other fabrics will find their way to us; consumption having rio limits but the
a'bility to buy, and this ability invariably increa'sing as home manufactures
assume variety and attain perfection. It is then that they create and diffuse
wealth,,by Avhat is the only true foundation of it in a nation—the universal,
subdivided, and'successful industry of the people. It is then that,they make
a call for an abundant circulating medium, by quickening the operations of
purchase and sale. It is then that they attract the precious meta:ls to a country, and, beyond any other power of retention, keep them there. By nunierous manufactures, we shah see agricuhure, th(3 first pillar, in the State,
stand firm; for when they shall have raised up new capitalists, who so sure
to maintain profitable dealing with them as the owner of the soil ? For the

ta-easures that cover its surface, and that lie beneath it, he is then sure to
find a market, both regnhvr and growing, whatever the political .or mercantile vicissitudes at a distance; and as sure to buy at cheap rates the fabrics
that he wants—cheapness being the riecessary consequence of full competition among a powerful class of artisans at home. By numerous manufac-,
tures, in fine, we shall see reared up in the State that additional pillar, which.
standing in the middle, is indispensable to the stability ofthe other two; for
the State must be in a false position, lying'perpetually at the mercy of extrinsic events, when reposing only upbn foreigri commerce and agriculture.
The great intermediate interest, strengthening and upholding both the
others, is manufactures. When to the coriipleteestablishmeint of these the internal improvement ofthe country shall have been superadded, the farmer
of the United States cannot but perceive that the riieasure of his prosperity is
made potentially full. Discouraging distances between himself and his customers exist no longer. Through the wisdom of art, the obstacles of nature
disappear. He sees combined with the advantages ofa country of almost
boundless',extent and capacity of production, the facilities of quick intercpui'se, which compensate to small countries the want of these advantages.
He sees time anticipated I n the effective augmentation of our numbers:.for,
as-with machinery in manufactures, so with canals and good highways;
they change the relative weakness of a thin-and^scattered, intb the activity
and power of a condensed population ; thereby exemplifying the highest wisdom of legislation—the noblest works of government—guided by the intelligence and stimulated by the energy of freedom.. .

': In giving these opinions in favor of domestic manufactures, it is known
that other opinions exist.on this subject, claiming the support oif.distinguished names, both at home and abroad. For these opinions, as they have from
time to time been witnessed in the discussions of the legislative hall at
home, the utmost deference is felt. . Nevertheless, it is deemed proper -to
communicate \vith candor those contained/in this report, deliberately weigh-,
ed as they\hav,e been, and uttered, as they also are, under the obligations of
official duty. Inthe submission of plans for the improvement ofthe public
revenue, none occur more likely to prove salutary than those that"look to
the fostering of manufactures; under the truth, that in the multiphed productions of nature and art in a country, the result of industry and skitl every
where diffused,, he the best and only foundations of finance. When the
people ofa country are universally and profitably employed, the aggregate ^
of, indiyidual becomes the surest nieasure ofnational prosperity; and revenue for the public occasions will always be at hand, under whatever forms
the Goverriment may deeni it most expedient and least burdensome to call
it forth. The facts of the world are^on the side of these opinions; it being
incontestable that nations; which have reached the most imposing heights
of physical and intellectual power, are those in which manufactures have
been the most numerous, and arrived at the greatest perfection. It is more
applicable to add, that this perfection^ amongst the nations where it has been.
most conspicuous, has been achieved through the most comprehensive and
rigorous protection afforded to this kind of industry—a protection persevered in throughout ages, and never given up whilst its objects remained
.unaccomphshed. The speculative economists of Europe are in opposition
to the experience that surrounds them, and riot less frequently to each other
and tb themselves, when they would hold up to any.one nation the asserted
benefit of an. opposite system. " France," says one: of her most celebrated
writers of this class, (but who knows how to reconcile the enlightened ideas
of free trade with those first daties that every nation owes to itself,) "is

probably indebted for the beauty of her silk and woollen manufactures ta
the wise encouragement of that administration which advanced to the manufacturers two thpusand francs' for every loom at work." The same writer,
(Say,) whilst describing the condition of some of the provinces, of that
country, and-which, as he says, \vanted nothing but towns to bring them
into high cultivation^, adds, that '-hopeless, indeed, would be their'situation,
were France to adopt the system which recommends the purchase of manufactures froni foreign couritries, with the raw produce bf domestic agriculture." France still adheres, in the midst of her riches and power, to the
practice on which these sentiments are founded. Nor is the example of
Britain, up to this very moment, less absolute br less instructive. - Theprohibitions, the bounties,-the high duties, the penalties, (by force of which,
throughout along tract of time; the manufactures of that couri'try have
gained so much excellence,) never iixanywise abated, until, by the recent
avowals of her statesmen, high in intelligence, as authority, British fabrics
were not rrierely certaimto continue the supply—immense as it is known to.
be—-of the home demand, but to firid their way, in a proportion far greater
.than those from any other country, into all the markets ofthe world. T h e
Uriited States, with a combination bf natural and political advantages, as
transcendent iri number as degree, have'before them these and other examples; the lights Pf'cb-existent nations; the amplest demonstrations, of experience for,building up their manufactures; and, by that vigilant legislative '
-assistance, without which they have never been known in any country to
establish themselves in large or durable pre-eminehce. Nbr has this policy,
been found.to interfere v/ith an abundant foreign commerce.in the wealthiest
and most industrious nations. It has, onthe contrary, carried its bounds:
still further; since every nation, by its habits arid position, will;always cbmniand superior fkcihties for excelling in certain branches of labor and art,
which it therefore chiefly cherishes; leaving to other riations the opportunity of excelling in other branches, or of'running the career of beneficial
rivalry in the same; by which system the artificial productions ofthe world •
are augmented and improved, and the fields of traffic, through the increasing desires and varying tastes, of mankind, as opulence and civilization
make new advances, more and more pxtended. and enriched. If the nations
of Europe, whose-industry and interchanges move in circles geograp hically*
proximate to each other, have not yet adopted this policy, or have fallen back
in their prosperity'by ^the. fact of its absence; if those nations that have
adopted if are. still seen ^ to keep to it, or have only swerved from it after its
ends have "been, attained; by stronger reasons should the United States act
upon'it., Their remoteness from all the. chief sources of supply of (manufactured articles, forms the additional motive; riot to invoke .that which
inight be drawn.from the burdens, and even exclusions, stiU in full existence
yin other cpuntries, against some'of their primary productions. That a populous'and indeperident nation, a nation civilized sirice the moment of its* existence, and whose institutions, by their essential principle, tend to accele-rate it in the career of intellectual and social, as already they have conferred
upon it'political-eminence, should have continued as long as the United
States have done, to derive fron> a distarice, to be corriputed only by the
space of oceans, so iri.any ofthe fcibrics which conduce to the necess£iry ortasteful accomriiodatioris of life, if riot without precedent,,has, perhaps, riot

before the riatural and interided uses of them can.be exhausted, and where
the skill that rriade is too often alone competent to renovate or repair,, becomes, by so much, a dead.loss to the capital of the importer or consumer,
-and consequently to that of the riation. The amount of it would.go far, it is
believed, towards forming afund:for encouraging the equally perfect fabrication at home of most of lhe articles,of foreign origin consigned, by the cause
alluded to, to premature inutility br destruction. Besides the advantages pf
manufactures for home use, the present moment is deemed to be peculiarly
auspicious, (not to say urgent,,)forfosteririgthem,from the situation and circumstances ofthe rest of the world. An era-has arrived, upon which after
^ e s are to look back, as to a point in the commercial destinies of mankind.
The colonial system is fast falling to pieces.. Over irnnienseregions it is totally gone ; involving the certainty of changes, both^ in the channels and the
objects of trade, as vast as they will be various. ' The family of nations has
•been extended ; new continents, new oceans, are opened to independent intercourse, tp a just and equal parricipation in the benefits of which the United
States cannot but be alive. These benefits they can scarcely derive to the
full and.proper extent, but by giving tlSiemselves to the,.large fabrication of
sthose works of art for which their chmate, their productions, and the skill
and capital of which their citizens are already in possession, especially qualify them; , T h e course of their export-trade for the last two years, as stated
in this repbrt, is an encouraging omen of their ability and aptitude to enter
this new and great field of competition. Not to follow up.such beginnings
by timely and judicious measures, might be to let opportunities pass, nbt always to be reca.hed. Whilst nations, shut out by their hmited territory
from agricultural products as the basis of foreign trade, have yet pushed the
latter to its farthest hmits by manufactures alone as that basis, it is the favored lot ofthe United States to superadd'to theextent and riches of their soil
a state of social advancement, and an amount of town population, already
•equal to the most extensive arid varied operations of manufacturing industry.
Not to found establishments by which this species of profitable" industry
may take life, and spread over the land, would, it is believed, be to forget
alike what is due to the best interests of agriculture on the one hand, and to
the further enlargement of bur commercial power upon the other.
In expressing the convictions embraced in the foregoing remarks, it is not
intended to close them by recommending any general revision ofthe tariff, as
fixed by the act of Congress of the-22d of May. 1824. But it is deemed proper,
under cover of them, respectfuily to submit the expediency of effectively increasing the existing duties upon all mariufactures of cotton of a fine quality.
The facilities and inducements to the. fabrication Pf cottons of every description inthe United States are so great, that the most beneficial consequences may,be anticipated from the full establishmentof this manufacture
in all its finer branches, in like manner as, by the protection already afforded
to cotion fabrics in the coarser branches, we have, seen these latter establish. ed with advantages so manifold and decided. And should we establish,
completely, the- former also, siich is the quantity in which we produce the
iraw material of this prominent manufacture of modern times, and (what is
still more important,) such its quality, that there is no cause for apprehending
.that our - immense exportations of it abrpad wiU stop. On the contrary, it
friay be expected that they will go on progressively increasing. '
Concurrentry with this recommendation for an augmentation of duties
•on-all cotton manufactures of &ne quahty, it is deemed advisable to submit

also the expediency, of lowering, to a sniall extent, the duties at present
existing.upon teas, upon coffee, and uppn cocoa.
These; arricles, especially the two former,,are pf such large .cpnsumption^
in the United States; as to take rank, among \th^ necessaries pf life. / T h e y

tion in any form ; the les.s, as they trench upon n o rival production at honie;
- ' Their iiiore enlarged consumption would tend to increase,in corresponding
proportions,' the demand for sugar ; thereby fostering a valuable .production
of some^ of our own States. T h e more widely, also, the habit of their use can
be extended, the greater, it is believed, would be the prospect of seeinglessened
the GOiisimipt/ibn bf ardent spiritSj so baneful in their, effects upon'the industry,
the health, and the m;orals of the .community i Under/these views alone, re;gardingnh.eir connexion \vith the public prosperity and individual happiness;
any temporary pr partial loss to the revenue that might result from an adoption of this last recommeridation, ought to be considered as comperisa:ted. It
is not, however, certain, that such loss, would" result from the increased demand that might be expected to grow -up for these articles by a reduction of
the present irripositions upon them. As regards teas, if may be added as an
