The inconvenience to which the Treasury will be exposed by thiscause, may be averted by redeeming the stock subscribed to the Bank
of the United States, .arid authorizing the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund to purchase the three per cents, when, in their opiriion, the terms on
which such purchase can be made, will render it as favorable to the United
States as the payment of other stocks then redeemable. This stock is now
quoted in the market at about 87-|.\Aii unlimited authority, to redeem it
would, no doubt, somevyhat enhance Jhe-price ; but this efiect would, in a
great degree, be counteracted by the option to redeem other stocks.' If^
fiowever, the revenpes can, iri the opiriion' of Congress, be more advantageously reduced, or otherwise disposed of, when the other stocks shall be
redeemed, the paynient of the three per cerits. may be postponed, subjectto the operation of a small sinking fund,' to be applied conditionally, viz:
when the stock.can be,boiight at a reasonable price,ctobe fixed by law. In
, such'casCj it will be, necessary, to the full employment of the present Sinking Fund, to give-, the Commissioners power to purchase the five and four
and a half per cents, at their market pricer--/?

The amount of duties on imports and tonnage, which accrued from the
'1st of January to the 30th September, 1829, is estimated at $21,821,500 ; being $2,621,'300 less, than that which accrued in the corresponding,period
of the preceding yearl This deficiency has arisen.almost entirely in the
first quarter of the present year ; and was prpbably caused by the extensive
iraportations*which had been madO' inthe fearly part of 1828, in anticipation of the increased duties: In the second and third qriarters of the year,
how,e.ver: the importations have so' augmented, that the accruing duties,
secured in those quarters,, are but $49,300 less than those secured in the
second and third quarters of the precedirig year. This improvement still
continues; and there is reason to believe that the duties accruing in the
fourth quarter will nearly equal those of the ^fourth quarter of last year. It
is worthy of remark, that the accruing revenue of the three first quarters
of the year 1829,'though "so much below that of 1828, is only $270,200
less than that of the same period of the, year 1827.
The debentures ^issued, during the three first quarters of 1829, were
$3,059,060 ^25, which exceeds the amount issued during the corresponding
periodof'theyear-1828,by $96,475 70.'
_
The amount of debentures, outstanding on the 30th September last, and
chargeable upon the revenue of 1830, was $1,111,136, exceeding, by
$65,992, the amount chargeable on the same day, in 1828, on the revenuo
of 1829. •': . • -• •;-•.;> •;

T h e value of domestic articles, exported from the Uriited States, for the
year ending on the ,30th September last, is. estimated at $55,800,000, being
$5,130,331-more than the value, of those exported, duririg tlie same period,
in the preceding year. '
The amount of custom house bonds in suit on the 3:0th September last,
was $6,591,714 20, being. $1,967,435 45 more than on the same day, ip
the preceding year. / I t may be observed, that the great increase of this,
item for several yeiars past, has arisen from the heavy failures in the Ohinel
trade; in which, series of bonds .falling due from the same houses comi
mence in one year, and terminate in another.

If the foregoing estimate'of the revenue and expenditure be correct, the
sum at the disposal ofthe Commissioners of tho Sinking Fund, for the
year 18,30, will be $11,500,000, and, when the increase'^ of population is
considered,.may, probably, be safely computed at $12,000,'000 for the four
Succeeding years, This sum will complete the payment of the whole public debt within the year 1834, without applying the bank shares.
Should it be determined to reduce the revenue, so as to correspond with
the existing expenditure, it will require the exercise of a wise forecast, on
the part ofthe Legislature, to avert serious injury. Merchants having
goods on hand, liable to be afiected in price by a change in the fiscal system of the Government, have a jiist right to expect from it a reasonable,
notice, corresponding with the magnitude of the change proposed. In
accordance with these views, it is respectfully suggested, that, whatever
diminution of duties shall be determined upon, it ba made to take effect
prospectively and gradually.
\ It will, in. such case, be proper, at an early period, to select the articles
upon v/hich to commence the reduction. As auxiliary to this undertakings
the arinexed tables, M and N, have been prepared. Table M exhibits the
amount of duties accruing on such articles of importation as are generally
of foreign, production. Table,N exhibits the tariff of duties imposed by
foreign Governments on such articles as are produced in, or exported from,
the United States, as far as has been ascertained at the' Treasury Department.
The precise effect of a reduction of duties on therevenue can only be
ascertained by experience; but, as the imports will be somewhat increased
by the operation, it is not apprehended that a gradual reduction, commencing at an early day, would sensibly.prolong the total extinguishment
of the public debt.

Thela^y, it is believed, may adriiit of a difierent construction ; but, as
the orders for the importations, since the instructien above referred to, were
given with-a knowledge of its b|)eratioii, nowy to add the 20 or 10 per cent,
to the cost of, such goodsj would probably trarisfer the whole of them into
a class higher than was fairly contemplated by^the importer, ,and increase
the duty^vefy prejudicitilly to his interest. , Under these cifcuiristances, and '

instruction was accordingly issued, on the 8th August, 1829, directing the
allowance of the five per cent, to be made on the measurement only. But
this unavoidably deprived a number of importers, whose orders had been
previously given, of the expected benefit of the deduction, in determining
the classes of dutiable prices to wliich their cloths belonged : such cloths
are, consequently, subjected to.a rate of duty higher than was contemplated
when the orders were given. The regulation has, therefore, injuriously
affected the interest of these importers ;. and their case is submitted to the
favorable consideration of Congress, who alone can' give the proper
relief
'•
- .
The Secretary of the Treasury respectfully invites the attention of Congress to some modification of the existing revenue laws, as. well for the
convenience of those eraployed in commerce and navigation, as for the
better security of the revenue.
The law in relation to licenses for coasting and fishing vessels operates
unequally and injuriously upon some branches, of that business ; it requires^
upon every change of structure ofthe vessel, or of ownership, by the transfer of the right of .one partner, the taking.out of a .new license, and the
payment of a new duty.
'
^
The bounty allowed on vessels employed in the cod fisheries is understood to be unlawfully obtained by some of those engaged/in the mackerel
fisheries. It is believed that a bounty on the fish cured or exported, without reference to the origin of ihe saltj would better promote v/hatever encouragement may be considered as proper to be given to the fisheries. This,
could be graduated to any scale, and, being more simple in its form, would
be less liable to abuse.
- '
It is found that the present mode^of compensating-custom house oflicers
operates unequally, and, not in proportion to, the sei*vice rendered. Asstriking instances of this inequality, inspectors, in many places, receive
more than double the compensation of the collectors who employ them ;
and, at some ports, custorri houses are built or purchased by.the Government, vvhile, at others, they are provided at the expense of collectors.
The fees of office are liable to be variously computed, and are a constant
source of embarrassment in the transaction of busihess. These, it is believed, may be generaliy abohshed, and the/mode of compensation by
salary beneficially substituted; retaining, however, those, on manifests,
clearances, entries, and permits,, and that class of service which makes it
the interest of the officers to require a strict observance of those acts, on
the part of masters of vessels and shippers, which may be deemed essential
to the security of the revenue.
The commissions now allowed to collectors'on bonds put in suit, might
, be advantageously divided between them arid the district attorneys. The
former would thereby be more interested in taking proper security, and
the latter have a salutary stimulus to the discharge of their duties.
Some additional provision of law is deemed necessary to compel the
surrender of pubhc books and papers, of district attorneys, marshals^
custom house and land oflicers, in pursuance of orders from the proper,
department.
The labors of appraisers of imported goods have been greatly increased by the "Act in alteration of the several acts imposino* duties on imports," passed 19th-May, 1828. To give the proper. efficiency to that
branch of service, it is necessary to have warehouses and offices con

devolves On tW'O officer^, whoVare exclusively responsible for that duty ;
.and yet, all the assiistance which can be provided for therii, is supphed |in- .
directly, and urider an,: implied power. To avoid the erinbarrassment that
must arise from sickness, or other necessary absence of one or both of these
officers, an additional appraiser at that port seeiiis indispensable. It is also
deemed advisable that the commissiori'ed appraisers at aff the ports should
be authorized,.urider proper:restrictions, to employ .persons to act as assist' ants, under Tegular official; fesponsibilh^^y These beirig^ distributed upon

well as the cpmmerce arid navigation of the United States ; those colonies
: being almost the only market for many of the staple products of several of
the States. , The same object may be further promoted by the reduction of
duties oil coffee- spices, and some other products of.these islands.
It is also.worthy of consideration, \vhether any modification of the revenue system, with a yiew to improve the West India trade, might not, with
advantage, be arranged iri such a manner as to give preference to the productions of those colonies into which American navigation is perrnitted.
The effe:cts of a change in the credit system, and of a reduction, of duties,
upon the various interests of the nation, other than-revenue, are suggested
as incidental considerations, which, J;hough they might not be deemed of
such a character .as to jiistify a revision of the revenue laws, yet, cannot
safely be overlooked in a modification called for by other indispensable objects.. :It may be proper,-however, in all measures of this nature, to keep
in view, that the money power of the Government, whether exerted in the
imposition, distribution, or reduction of taxes, or in the disbursement of
the public treasure, requires to be exercised with the most guarded and
steady purpose of uniting absolute ,and relative justice in thesame point.
Whatever propels an undue portion of capital into one pursuit, rriust tend,
v/here capital,is abundant, sooner or later, to p'vercharge it, and lessen the
profits. The same operation will cause at least a relative increasein the
profits of other pursuits, from, which capital has been withdrawn. The, application,of the„.money power of the Government to regulate the unequal
action caused by such, or any other changes in human economy, is, in its
nature, incapable of precise and certain adaptation to its end-; hence, the
necessity for care and moderation, in all .measures of this character. Every
mistake must increase the irregularities intended to be remedied, and interrupt and disturb that gradual growth, which best promotes and secures
substantial prosperity. So injurious are great and sudden fiuctuations in
humati,employments, thatit has been even doubted whether the inventive
genius:of man, in the development of means for saving labor and multiplying mechanical power, has not proved rather an evil than a benefit. A
close observance of this operation, will, however, demPnstrate, that, what-•
ever there maybe of evil iri it, arises only from the suddenness ofthe
change. Employments essential to the support of many, have been superseded so suddenly as tp leave Ihem dependent on the charities of those
who may, have;profited .by the event: this would not have occurred, had
the process been graduated, as to time, more. conformably to the habits and
conditions of those liable to be affected by it. The employments thus superseded, will, however, scarcely be known to, or needed by, the hext generation ; others will lake their place; and those who pannot enter upon
new pursuits, though \withput hope for themselves, may yet be consoled
with a better prospect for posterity.
It may notbe unprofitable to obse.rvej that a total revolution is taking
place ;in many, of the productive employments throughout the civilized
world. The improvements in science and arts, no longer, interrupted by
war, have been directed toother objects, and have so increased the power
of production,lhat the tide of prices, whiph had been long on the flood, is
. gradually ;ebbing, even under a depreciated currency. The illative values
between labor and products have also changed, but are not yet adjusted.
The depression of prices, falling unequally on the different species of property, is,ruinous to.many, and repugnant to the feelings even of those who
do not really suffer. It may be" long before a proper adjustment of these
; 1829.] :

values femDves\the evil; and, until then, the busy world will be agitated
by the convulsive struggles.of its variou!^ interests, each to avert from itself,
and throw upon others, thei m.pending adversity. The ramifications of these
corineciing arid confiicting operations are so complicated, that'it maybe
doubted whether any degree; of intelligence, however free from the influence
of special iiiterests; could^by the: exercise of a political powers materially
' lessen the evil. The active eriergies of man, stimulated by necessity, em.ulation, and love of wealth, are, perhaps, the agents most to be relied upon,
in jnain.tainirig a salutary equilibriuIil in the various operations of human
enterprise. Every new disposition, therefore,, of the money power, to be
sa.ley shpuld be gradual, and requires great caution to avoid iriereasing the
unequal and irregular action, which: is so"^obviously prejudiciaf both to '^
.individual and public welfare.
\ ; .
,
'
Whatever objects may, in the wisdoni ofthe Goverriment, be found,, for
the application bf surplus revenue,; after the public debt shallbe paid, there
will probably remairi a considerable amount, which may be; dispensed'with,'
by a reduction of the import duties, without prejudice.tp any branch of do-'
mestic industry.' Such, areduction will present a favorable oppprtunity for
averting a > portion ofthe evil resulting from the general depression in the
price of property,'before referred to.\ The repeal of a tax is similar, iri its
effect, to-lhe relinquishment of so iriuch anhual debt; relieving, to that
amount, the;: various species of labor upon which it was charged; and distributing its benefits, in prpportion to corisumption,'upon every individual;
ofthe nation.
' '• ' /. \

•:
The extinguishment of the public debt tends to the same result in-another way. The interest is now paid to capitalists, out'.Of the profits of
labor; not only will this labor be released from the burden, but the capital,
thus thrown out of an unproductive, will seek-arprPductive employment;
giving thereby a new impetus to enterprise in agriculture, the artsj commerce,' and navigation, at a lower charge for interest than before. The
heavy impositions on the labor employed in these pursuits, in those nations
where the arts have attained their highest perfection, had become, in a great
measure, counterbalanced, in latter, years,, by thb increased capacity of that
labor; but these burdens still remain,- and with but iittle prospect of diminution, i n t h e mean tirney the industry of the'United States will have a
positive advantage oyer that of other countries, equal to the differerice between their respectiverates of taxation; and it is worthy of corisideration,
that there has been probably iio period in which such an ppp^i"tuhily.lor
advancing the general economy of the American! people, a^nd aiding them
to maintain a successful competition with that of other countries, could have
been more propitious. OP more necessary to their interests, than that which .
is now approaching/ I t is known that* the most^riexampled exertions are
. making, in,all civilized nations, to increase the producUve.power; and those
who.shali stand foremost in this laudabie strife, will be assured of success :
in maintaining^ not merely the prosperity of their people, but a high rank

* The examination of Mississippi stock paid off, or received in payment for lands, was
completed within the last year, and this sum ascertained to be the true amount unpaid. It
exceeds, including the cerlificates paid off within the year ending on (he SOth September, 1829,
the. amount slated on the 1st of October, 1828, by $6,726 40. The difference arose from
stating an excessin the amount of stock received in.pajanent for lands; the receiver's accounts
not being'adj usted up to that time.
