CLAiRK, f Oi1 NORTH CAROLINA,1 I On the Tariff Rill, delivered in the H, of. Representatives, June 30, 1 846. The Tariff bill being under jconsidera- nun in vyoiiiiiiiLiee ui me w noie on tpe state of the Union- f j Mr. Clark, of North Carolina, rose and said: When we ' entered upon the discussion of the subject of fjfie tariff, I felt that we had : reachfcd the great question . of the session. I tegard all others which have come be US, and which can come before us, as inferior in importance to it. Tjie possesion of Oregon, the acquisition of Texas, are secondary in comparison- With tt; for whilst those two subjects look to tjbe extension of the area of freedom, in the question of the tariff is intimately invol ved the liberty of action, the' freedom jof trade, of those already included within that area. What boots it that we should engage in a crusade over the world in or der to make proselytes to bur political faith, if, when made, they are to bero.me ten-fold more the children of -oppression and exaction than they were before? ijhe question of war is almost inferior to jit. War must have a termination its ravages may be repaired by time; glory and safe ty often follow in its footsteps. But, sir, if with the overwhelming, the all-powerful majority of the democratic party in this Congress a party pledged to the repeal of the tariff of IS42 that act! is' allowed to survive the present Congress, our doom for all time to come is sealed. jNot a iay of hope is suffered to gild theldark future. For all time to come the system of une qual and Unjusf taxation, is destined to Im poverish and j oppress the masses of fhe npnnlf in order to enrich and crtfrandizte a fortunate few. Privilege andu monopoly t r.t. 4i.:JL.i:Ji.i are nenceiorin iu nuiu iiieii; i unuispujtu , . i u5 est cains of labor to swell the coffers! of the lordly capitalist. Such, sir, is the im portant light in which the subject address es itself to my mind; and, with this im pression of its magnitude, I could not do less than raise my humble vojee in favor of the reform which this bill proposes; in the manner of raising the revenues of the country. What, then, is a tariff? At first blush this would seem to be an idle and unnecessary inquiry. But so crude are the notions that are at times advanced about it. and so Various the lights in which U is exnimtea to me peop.e, umt .us . 1 . . .1 1 1 A. I.'' A. It. ? i 4.

I well remember, when s boy, of seeing the counters of our country stores groaning under the weight of their accumulation, i With these were ptircha sed the sugar and coffee used by the fami ly, and occasionally a. Sunday dress for all the children. Now, however, the large manufacturing establishments, built up by our high and ju-nfost tar ifis, have flooded the country with inferior goods, and have driven these worthy and industrious fe males out ol the market. Ami wnat is tne consequence? Formerly, thev were the willing helpmates to their husbands arid fathers in the -all-important business of liv ing. Now, without encouragement to -labor at their appropriate occupations, they are necessarily drones, feeding on the la bor of dthers. This tariff operates as a tax upon every bushel of com or-peas, or barrel of flour, or any other produce of the farm which' is exchanged for the products of the manufactory. This operation of the tariff is susceptible of the very clearest de monstration. We will suppose, that be fore any tariff is laid, the farmer can take his bushel of cor n, worth forty cents, and exchanges it for a bushel of salt, valued at the same price. We will then suppose that a tariff of ten cents is put upon the salt, which increases its price to fifty cents a bushel. The farmer's bushel of corn will not He must then now pa', for the bushel of salt, give a bushel and-a peck. This peck is the tax whieh the tariff levies ! out oi mm tor tne oeneni oi uie manuiac turers. ' . . So far as this tariff tax is needed for the purpose of paying the expenses of the gen eral government," economically adminis tered, it is just and proper enough; and no portion of the people will complain, be- cause it is perhaps a more economical and satisfactory mode of raising revenue than direct taxes or excise duties, or any otfier way that has yet been devised But; been raised out J u,u,icV 'UU8 I :of the reonle i to pay th people to pay the expenses of the 1 government, 1 am opposed td imposing any further taxes on them for any purpose whatsoever. For,' sir, if in the imposition of faxes we depart from the plain and si ni- pie rule furnished by the necessities ofj mediately lug in this famous act of Con the general government, and say that taxes gress, in the preamble of which it is sta may be raised for the purpose of encoura-j ted that one of the objects .of. its passage ging manufactories or commerce, or any ' was the protection; of manufactures; hut other pursuit, there ceases to. be any rule ! when you . seek-to determine the proper or limit of taxation, except the will of an , amount of protection, and refer to this ve interested majority. And I had supposed ry same act, in which its ffames thought that the minority tn this country enjoyed 10 per cent. Was sufScient, they tarn a deaf their rights and held their property i by , ear to all you can say.

The country everywhere furnishes evi dence of this truth. And' yet the jnanu facturers would fain persuade -you that a tariff in their favor, of 20 o- 30 per cent is not enough. Can you believe it? Will ybu-alldvv ybUrselves to be so far deluded as to give thpm more? When they asli for more, can you rid yourself of the sus picion that the seek to impose taxes on those engaged in agriculture and com merce, in order to feather their own pock ets, and not to maintain a mere existence as they would have you believe? , v Again, sir; the advocates of a high.pro lective tariff are very fond of relying upon the opinions of those who Were earliest connected with the administration of the general government. Talk to them of tho tinconslitutionality of a prjotective tariff, and they forthwith refer you to that fa mous act of Congress of 17S9,, passed a year or so after the formation of the con- stitution, and framed by those men who bore an important part In the work of its formation. And what, 1 would ask dio! the good and patriotic men of those day a consider ample protection to the' manufac turing interest? Look at that first act, tho act of 17S9; and you find the tariff ranging from 5 to 10 per cent. In the infancy of manufactories, then- when they were first struggling into existence; when, it is natuv fal and rational to suppose,! they vvould re quire the largest bounty and the most am ple protection the wise and good men of those times thought 4hat a tax in their fa vor of. 10 per cent, was abundantly liberal. BuVafter being nursed for more than fifty j years after having acquired, if they ever j willj the vigor of manhood they are not j satisfied with three times 10 per cent. At that period, it was openly proclaimed by their special friends, that it was only in j their infancy that they would require any sort of protection. Our opponents on thia question behave with a great Want of can- j dor in their commentaries upon this act of 1789.
