DUTIES ON IMPORTS. January 31, 1828. Mr. Mallaryt from the Committee on Manufactures, made the following

REPORT

[concluded.")

The Committee refer to the House for evidence to support^these posi tions, to the testimony of the witnesses who have been examined upon this subject. A perfect remedy to the farmer for his evils, they do not believe to be within the reach of Congress. But partial relief would seem to be very plainly presented. Our tables of imports, for the last six years, show a very regular annual importation of foreign spirits from «rain and other materials, varying from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 gallons, a very small share of which is re-ex-ported, and the residue is consumed in the country, and, consequently, to that extent, limits the demand for the domestic spirits. The Committee are aware that the time has been when the whiskey of this country would have been a very unaccepta le exchange for foreign spirits to the higher classes ot consumers. But they do not believe that that objection can, at this tiaie, be alleged •such has been the advance in skill iud expuriertce in the art of distill'ing spirits from grain, that the Avhiskey of this country has become a

But

•*L

natata^le iw*a very fashionaH?it no doubt is the least injur. ble 3

The Committee, there

fore 'cannot 9«pposc that comforts, or even the luxuries ot our cituens. be much restricted or materially affected by.such an increase duty upon foreign spirits as jwill re duce the quantity imported.

'nseparably wnnected with

the subiect of forei-n spirits, is that la distilled in our own countryt from foreign materials. AUho'

United States, yet, from the lara

importations of the _*PI,na which it i9 made, there is str

reason to conclude that the nuniber of ealloas must be some what greater than the whole number of|»lloDi. of foreign spirits imported. I he importations of molasses into this country, for the last six years, has_ran ed from 11,000,000 to nearly 14,000,000 of gallons Bv an examination of the import tables in the I'easury Office, it is ascertained that, out of the 13,000,000 imported during the last year, more than 11,000,000 carried into ports east of the the port of New-York, not including the latter port. It would .hardly seem probable, that the quantity consumed in the domestic way, in.this section of the Union, could so far exceed the consumption of other sections of the country, where sugar and molasses are not manufactured, as this proportion would indicate and, therefore, it is presumed, that much of the molasses taken into our Last ern ports, is used for distillation. This conclusion is rendered still more natural, when it is known that in that section of the United btatesare located the most extensive dis a spirits, thus produced, interferes, equally with foreign spirits, with the demand for the spirits produced from domestic materials and as the committee have proceeded upon the principle in relation to iron, woon tiemp and flax, that the domestic article, where it either .exists, or cau be produced in sufficient quantities, should be preferred to the fore.gn even for the use of our own manufactures, so, in the case of molasses, they profess to apply the same rule The committee have no means by which they cau even calculate the iantity of f»rain now annually distilled iu the

United States, or the quantity of spirits produced by such distillation. Butthev hazard nothing in the assertion,"that the coarse grains are

now

grown in these States, in sufficient quantities to furnish to them a full supply of ardent spirits, if the demand was in no other manner supplied and they refer to-the testimo ny which has been given before them to show, both tlie present depressed prices of these grains, & of the spirits produced from them, and, also, to shew that the quantity of these grains can be increased in different sections of the country, to answer any demand, if demand could be created.

With these facts before them, the committee have proposed, in the bill they report, to increase the present duty ten cents per gallon upon all foreign spirits imported into the country, and to increase the present duty upon molasses 5cts. per gallon.

By a reference to the table of domestic exports, it will he seen that a part of the spirits distilled from molasses in this country, is exported and the law, as now existing, allows, "upon these spirits so exported, a drawback of four cents per gallon. An examination of these tables will show that most of these spirits, so exported, go to the same markets with our domestic spirits distilled from grain and, with this drawback, operating as a bounty upon their exportation, they must, according to the relative values of the two kinds of spirits before exportation, have the advantage, in the foreign market to which they both go, over the spirits from grain, of just the amount ot this drawback. The committee have, therefore, proposed a repeal of the provision allowing the drawback.

The subject of glass has also been proposed as a matter of examination before the committee, and two very intelligent witnesses, living in sections of country remote from each otiier^ftve been examined in relation to it. A reference to their testimony will show that the present protection to window glass, of smaller size than 10 by 14 inches, is abundant, and, and that most other descriptions of glass are in the same situation. In this these witnesses both agree, and they are both practically acquainted with the manufacture of various descriptions of the article But one of the witnesses proves that the denominations of window glass exceeding 10 by 15 inches, is not sufficiently protected, and the committee have proposed an alteration in the-present duties upon these sjzes of window glass.

The only other material alteration which the committee liave prq-

Should there be found errors this report, the committee have offer for their excuse, the very i, time which has been allowed to pare it and they would giahly avoided accompanying their bill JL? any report, but for the fact that 1^' request to be allowed to witnesses, has excited some feej!68 in the House, as well as in the try, and they have felt it a AmT'' owed to themselves
