It is es sential, indeed, to the perfect equality of taxation, that all indirect taxes should fall precisely alike upon all the production! of domes'.h industry, mad br manufac tui cd lor sale, whether at hoti or abroad. If the planter is called upon to pay a cer tain per rentage upon the annual value of the cotton he exchange, for foreign manufactures, upon what hutnan principle cm it bo contended, thit the farmer is noli eqaaUy MUr,l4-payth aamK per centae upon the at.fafoejfjiailtl and otKer poddctTns. which he eicbsages wit n i n 3 neihn-tiptr minufa wun ma n.e.ijn.arin minuiacturer : atvi tionT-aronot g ully ttabtV-4ipjh tarns; pscxiae j9iwAefHWi of the manufaCturev they 'cxchanSe for Dr nc D e. d frer nt? on in Mho so tar. particular, that they fall upon difTcfent' productions of domestic industry. And whether the tax ultimately fulls upon the. producer or consumer, a just regard to tlfb principle of equality would require that all the producers and all the consu mera of ihe country, should equally t;ar ticipatc in suMaining the financial, bur I hens of the Slate. , r ' ' Il the value of the cotton exported by the planter is to bo regarded as (he mea sure of his income, upon the very same principle, the value of the grain sold by the farmer, or of the cloth sold by the manufacturer, ahould be regarded as the measure of his income, and the duty im posed accordingtf. ..- Novr Sir, it will be found upon exami nation, that a general system of impost and- excise duties equally applicable .to all -'corn m ef ci il e xc hah gei, w he t h er for- lienor internal, would faring us almost to the very same result as an income tax The advocates of the prohihi'ory sys tem have habitually dwelt up-)n the in-significance- of our foreign, when com pared wi'h our internal commerce.

I think this ''estimate extravagant.; and will no', therefore, use it, even against the manufacturers .themselves. It may be safely assumed, however, that the inter nil commerce of the Union amounts to two hundred and eighty millions, exclu sive of the coisting trada in freign merchandise.
