Ite tmmediate effect will be to diminish the public receipts, for the object of the bill can- not be accomplished withoat affecting the im- Portation of copper and copper ores, from which a considerable revenue is at present derived. While thus impairing the resources of the Government, it imposes au additional tax upon an already overburdened people,who should not be further impoverished that’ mo- uopolies may be fostered and corporauons «a- Tiched. and the declaration seems y evidence, that the duties tor which this bill provides @re nearly or quite sufficient to probivit the importation of certain foreign ores ot copper. Its enactment, there- fore, will prove detrimental to the shipping anterests of the nation. and at the same time destroy the busimess for many years success- fully established—of smelting home ores in connection with @ smaller amouat of the im- ‘d articles, This business. it is credibly as heretofore yielded the larger share of the copper production of the country, aud thus the industry which this legislation is d-- signed to encourage 1s actually lese than that which will be destroyed by the passage of the bill. It seems also to be evident that the effect of this measure will be to enbance, by seventy Per cent, the cost of blue vitriel—an article ex- tensively used in dyeing and in the manuta ture of prihted and colored cloths, To prod such aM augmentation in tbe price of thi commodity will be to discrimiuate against other great branches of domestic imdusiry and by increasimg their cost, to exp them most uufairly to the effects of four- eign competition. ‘Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to. the iwjury of many, and varied interests at least eqbally important and equally deserving the deration of Congress. Indeed it is diffi- cult to tind any reason which will justify the interference of Government with any legiti- mate induetry. exceptso far as may be rendered necersary by the requirements of the revenue. As bas already been stated, however, the legis- lative intervention proposed im the present in- stance will diminish, not increase the pablic receipt The enactment of such a law is urged as necessary for the relief of certain mining in- terest« upon Lake Superior, which, it is alleged, na greatly distressed condition, and eau be sustained by an enhancement of the price of copper. If this result should follow the passage of the bill, a tax for the exclasive benefit of a single class wouid be imposed upon the consumers of copper throughout the entre country not warranted by any need of theGoy- ernment, and the avails ef which would n in any degree find "heir way into the Treasury of the nation, If the miners ot Lake Superior are in & condition of want, it cannot be justly. affirmed that the Government should exten ! charity to them in preference to those of 1s citizens Who, tm other portions of the country ter in Like mauner from destitution, Lea-t all should the endeavor to aid them be based upon ® method so uncertain and indirect a- that contemplated by the bill, aad which moreover, proposes to continue the exerci-¢ of its benefaction through an inaefinite period of years. It is, besides, reasonable to hope that positive suffering from want, if it really exists, will prove but temporary in a region where agricultural labor is so much im demand and +o well compensated. A careful examination of the subject appears to show that the present low price of copper, Which alone bas induced any depression the mining interests of Lake Saperior may have recently experi: need, is due to causes which 11 Jc, if HOt IMpracticable, to con ion.
