FROM NILE S WEEKLY RKGISTKIl Tdt Meaning of IVunis. There are few wotds uss vmdv.rstood, and to understand which less pains are ta

ken than revenue Sc taxation : and there i aieno words which ought lobe so well' understood as these ; they involve the whole internal policy of the U. States I ! have no doubt if the question was put to the people of the U. States individually, i whether they pay any tares for the sup- j port of the general government, they j would answer, No. The reason is. they j

have never examined the subject ; but when they do, they will find that there is no government which derives its revenue from the people by a nictlc of taxation so oppressive as the government of the U States. This is a strong assertion, but it is true; let tho-e who think differently take the other side of the question, and meet it fairly. Here are mv reascr.s our revenue is derived from imposts alone ;f that is a tax on imported articles consumed in the country. The natural operation of this system in this that the people must raise, not only as much money as will pay the amount of duties which

go into the public treasury, but also as much money as will pay for the first cost j of oods imported, and all the profits of i the merchants. For instance, the gov- ' crnmcnt want one million of dollars, and i conclude to raise it by a duty of 25 per . cent on imported woolen cloth the revenue cannot be paid till the cloth is imported and sold, and the pcop'e have paid five millions of dollars; four millions of which goes to England to pay for the goods and one million to the treasury for duties. Supposing the average of duties to be 25 per cent and the imposts to amount to fifteen millions of dollars, there then must be drawn from the people 75 millions of dollars, in order to pay 1 5 millions of revenue; and except such part as is paid for in produce; the balance is taken out of tluj country in money If o this is added the profits of the importing, the wholesale lie the retail merchants which will amount to at least 30 per cent, it will be found that the people are obliged to pay 100 millions of dollars for cv. cry 15 millions oT revenue which goes into the public treasury. If the people do not buv the poods the merchants cannot pay the duties, so that, the verv essence of a svstcm of imposts is toex:tct a three fold tax from the people. 1 They must pay t. e first cost of the goods which is sent to England : c2. Tluy must pay the duties to the government : and 3 T! ev must pay the merchants profits on the first cost ol the goocis and their bonds for tiie amount ol duties. And this tax is paid about in the following proportions ; ex cry Si 00 of foreign cloth, which is paid for

by those who wear it, is thus divided: To the foreign manufacturer or merchant f.rst cost, or at custom house valuation, which istene-

ral y less, g60 CO 1 Duties to government, at 25 p ct 15 00 : Profits to the merchants, 33 p. ct. 25 00

.NOlERUUKS for talc a this Office.

S100 00 Every dollar of this is a direct tax for of this g i no, there is not one cent that is

made up of the product, or labor of the country. In the millions of yards of im- j ported Rutish broad cloths that we ynnti- j any import and pay fur, there is not one : ounce of American wool, nor one dollar ot American dye-stuff, fuel, provisions i or labor; not one fanner or workman in j the U. States is benefitted : for the Riitisb .

government piohibit the consumption of Ameiican fiour.gr io or provisions, and impose a tax iqual to a prohibition on all our raw materials, cpt cn'tf.n While government ?:c s , d to resort to no other mode .'. '. o thiui impost, it U lime lor :!.e ; a ;de 'o .eak to them in plain ant! imperative k-nuagc, and tell them we will iath.tr put the "tea-ait" in fore. Impost is called a mild mode ol taxation, by a most shameful perversion of language ; a man, it is said need not pay th tax, if he don't buy the cloth this is called oluntai y taction ; that is. a man may go without clothing and thus avoid taxation. So if he wiil not use salt, spices, sugar, tea, coffee, iron, pa per, linen or woolen cloth, he has l is choice to debar himself the use of these articles or pay the tax as well as cost and profit. If this is a sound reason why im post is a mibl s)stem of taxation, it will apply to excise of all kinds as well as di rect taxes. A man cred not own bongos, l?rds. furnituie. watches, stock or cattle he need not use whiskey or any other article which is burthencd with an excise, and bv thib mine reasoning all uvation mut l e

voluntary. The truth i no !axcs ZTQ voluntai y ; no one pay. them of choice bin sooner than to be depdved of the use and enjoyment of prope,ty-the com. foils of food and clothing, we pay the tax imposed or assessed on them. One modo is as compulsoiy as another, but there is this difference internal taxatu-n is rpui. mamy, and attended with no deceptionthe people know what they pay, they aic not deceived or gulled, there is no talk about paying taxes and not feeling them. When those who pay them will like the pains to understand the subject, they v.iii find hat there are taxes in every ra of cloths on thiir bucks : in every glass cf wine, spirits, tea, coffee, and punch they diink ; in their pepper and salt bexes ; in thcii sugar-piums and tht ir piiis, their pins and needics. cloths, cables and anchors. Not a man or a family in the country, however poor, but pays taxes, and of the most grevious and oppressive kind; for the government adopts such a system that the country is obliged in o; -der to raise fifteen dollars for the public treasury, to likewise raise sixty dollars for the foreign merchants, and twentyfive dobars foe the domestic merchant. This is lact no one dares deny it, or if there U such a man, let him come out before the public and defend the Ms-cm ol impost let him show that it is not what I call it, diiect injustice to the people and a shameful oppurksion on ih-z country Let it be compared to a system ot internal taxation which, bottomed on a high duty or the exclusion of for

eign maniilaciurcs, shall protect the industry and prudence of the people. Then we can afford to pay the taxes necessaiy for the support of government that will be the only burthen on the country at large, for the remain-ng part of the cost of the articles of consumption will be expended at home and among ourscivo nothing be sent out of the country. It a million of dollars is wanted for the publie treasury, and is assessed on the woollen manufactures, at the rate of tw t i.:y. five per ct. it would require four millions ol dollais worth of cloth to be manufactured : this would be done by domestic wool, domestic labor, domestic tuel. domestic 'Machinery and domestic p-o isions there would be a market for four imiino..s ol domestic labor, materials and subsistence, mmc than it the four millions were exported tor foieign cloth, and four millions of dollars would remain in ci-dilation; it would save the nation four minions ol dollars s I do not wtno t r cn.ics grammarian cr casuists, hut the plain u ihcimg people of the country. I must again cait their attention to the maikcd difference between impost and excise assotuces of revenue. io collect teenue by impost you must encourage foreign and . iscouiagc domestic manufactures, and for every fificn dollars of revenue drawn fiorn the peoole eighty-five dollars is additionally diawo from them to pay thcfoitign ami domestic merchants, while no additional market is afforded for our produce or labor. To collect the same amount of revenue by excise, the foieign manufacture is excluded aad the domestic e? couraged, and for eery fifteen dollars of mtmica new market is opened for eighty.fi ve dollars worth of domestic produce and labor, deducting the profits of the manufacturer and merchant, which will ho expended at home and return to the fanner or laborer. The diffetence betwten money expended at home and abrn.u! is this in the fit st case it passes from hand to hand, through all classes of society, and gives a value and employment to the propeny and industry of eery man, w hum it rexche-, nd const- nly develop 3 new sources of wealth: but" whtn it is sent abroad, it is worse them burn d in the eaith as to us. for it gives new et c urasement to foieigners to r new ai d increase their shipments of biich aricies as shall promote ti e industry and give a v-'lue to the pioducc of their c untry and dopicriate ins Even ton of iron we import from Sweden or Rusvij takes 60 dollars from the com. try, and every sixty dollars thus sent out brings back, another ton of iron the more money v c send out the more iron comes in E erv ton of iron ma le in the country ktu ps sixty dollars at home, and the cb cul.t'h.n of these sixty dol'ars terns a small quanityof iion ore into 60 dollar in money. T'ds iron ore is the most worthies? rash on earth except for ynnkir g iron, md every dollar's worth of iron n cde at hr.me is a much money made I mav ay f ern notl.inr. by the labor, fnel and subsistence cf the neighbor!. ocd.
