You fpeak of a rapid increafe of the taxes on goods imported, and an augmentation Of taxes on other fubjectsr &c. It is immaterial whe ther taxes are on this or that thing ; the labouring man pays the whole. The importer ho more nays the du' ties on his goods than the Man in China. He-puts the advance upon the value of his articles and the duty ; the retailer follows the ex ample, and the farmer pays the yhole ; and there is always this dif advantage in paying indirect taxes, that the duty is increafed in ; pro portion as the value of the article is enhanced in palling tnrough various bands, and the impoft. is' often, in crafd more than fifty percent, to ;tbe purchafer.
