The following report of the United States Revenue Commiasion in regard tothe relations of foreign trade to domestic industry and internal revenie will be sent into Congress to-day by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Report. TREASURY DerantMEnt, } Orrics ov ras Usiren States Revere Comminston, Febru 4, 1806. Hon. Huau Mi Secretary of the Treasury :— Sin—The burden of heavy taxation, beng new to the people ‘of tho United States, they have much to learn, th as to the art of carrying and the mode of adjusting it, It could not be expected that complete success would be attained at once in a matter of so much com- Pilcation and such varied aspect and bearing. In one respect, however, the success has been ample—the amount levied and collected has been large enough to commence auspiciously our new financial career. > mains now to establish a system of taxation and fnanc: which, while it sustains the power and credit of the nation, will, as cee oe pee b:e, obstruct the progress and success of national industry, and as littie as possibie prevent that industry from taking the deep rovt neces- fey oe! rong avd full growth. hing more than mere hard work is needful to give to industry the power to endure taxation; it is needful not only that labor should be remunerated, but that its products should be remunerative. People may work hard and long, and have little to spare for taxe: It is needful, in other words, that labor should not « be productive of great results and abundant cominod: but it should be productive of net income, for out of suc! {income only can taxes Le paid for any protracted period. To make industry productive and profitable, all the labor of a country should be employed, for those who depend upon their labor for aliving aud are not emp!oyed must be a dead weight upon the community. If taxes do not come from net income they must ulimately crush the industry upon which they are lovied The union between capiial and labor, necessary to the largest profitable production, must be ‘undisturbed, and must andor the full patronage of the whole people to secure the highort result. In any country a well ordered and succersful Industry works itself into a system, each part of which becomes necessary to the other, as the members of the body aro each necessary to the human frame. No member can be removed or seriously im- paired without serious to the whole, And ifno wach system ig formed in a country it ie a proof that its industry is well balanced, and cannot be fully i geareat Patcry may ety yan a of ‘ system country we Ou! the ee its Ay) the pecial dire tion of productive forces Lo su) those wants, The domestic Ne living under the name laws, sponk- estimates of the power of our people to bear taxation. It is the simple fact that we can mever obtain from any or all foreign countries our whole supply of what we wear, and a like supply of iron, steel, copper, lead, tin and other metals, for the simple reason that they could not be transported to our shores, and if they could we have no means of paying for them. Foreign nations al- together will not take from us what will pay for one tenth of the amouut of our wante, THE CONSUMPTION IN THK UNITED STATES of firon, steel, copper, lead, zinc, woollen goods, cotton goods, leather and glass is not less than to the value of « thousand millions of dollars, of which we import to the value of leas than an hundred millions, Ina very few Southern States have partially recover. , With the lacrease in n 4, An amount at least half as much more. To import our full supply of these artl cles, from the cheapest markets of ios ‘or of the world, would take all the gold in the country, all our cot. ton and all the commodities usually exported, and leave usin debt for half the amount. It would compel the whole manufacturing population to engage in ag ture, it would put eat to fifty centa per bushel and every other product in proportion. It would reduce monthly wages into ten or fifteen dollars, and vir- tually place the whole country in the condition of an appanage of the manufacturing countries of Europ, But the supposition of such an importation is too pre- Postorons even to be used as an {lustration. It is not ouly preposterous, it is impossible, Such an importa. tion is not only impossible, but It is scarcely pos sible to import ten per ceut of our consumpiton of those commoditios, The cheapness of foreign manufac. tures depends mainly on our own ability to supply our. selves; the forelgn goods are only offered at rates low enovgh to undersell the domestic manufacturer. When our home manufacture ceases foreign goods are no longer cheap. ‘e are compelled by these considerations and others equally strong, to resort to manufactures at home for ninety per cept of our consumption of such articles as are above enumerated. No country except Great Britain imports to the amount of ten per cent of its consumption, and in her case it is because the excess over ten per cent congi*te of raw materials of her manufactures, which are more than doubled in value and re-exported. The consumption of these articles of necessity and comfort in Great Britain, it should be noted, is far below what it is in the United States, The necessity of making our own goods may be ex- plained by supposing that two country merchants offer their several stocks of goods in a rich agricultural district of the West, fornishingthe only two sourees of supply for the neighborhood; the one taking only such articles tor bis goods as will bear ¢xportation to mmo forvign country, the other takin, of the fleld, garden, ‘orchard, posture, anc taking nine-tenths of the business. His cons will Jead him into mawufacturing or lead others into it, that he may find a moro ready and profitable market for the varied commodities which his mode of doing basiness brings to his bands, When the farmer can exchange the entire product of his land at rates corresponding to the general price of labor, he can supply himself abundantly, and his farm will be worth four times as much as it would when only the cereals can be aold. Land in the vicinity of a manu- facturing population is worth, for agricultural purposes, from one hundred to two hundred dollars per acre, and very oftea much more, Where such advantage is want- ing, fa are in our country seldom worth forty dollars acre. z Pennsylvania could with difficulty pay, in any pro. duct of ber own, for fifty thousand tons of iron im- ported from Great Britain; bat her capitalists and far- mers can feed ‘sustain a population large enough to take from Ler own mines and manufacture five hundred thonsand tons of tron of the value of thirty millions of dollars, and the same policy extended to her other re sources, makes her annual product worth three hun- dred mill ons of de The proceeds of her axriculture could not be excl «1 abroad for oue-balf of what the iron brings. In other words, of her own to ery product of course, Pennsylvania, without products spars, which she can ox. change in Great Britain for fifty thousand tons of iron, can manufacture ten times that quantity The whole agricultural product of that State being thus converted into iron and other manufactures, becomes directly and indirecily a purchasing power in the home market, The product of an acre of wheat exported to England or Scotland may import a ton of iron; butan acre cultivated for vegetables at homes will purchase five to ten tons of tron, ‘The purchasing power of a people who have duly mingied manfacturing industry with agricultural pro- duction i tenfold that of a purely agricultural com munity. The individuals of a country with such a blended industry pnrchase from each other, and the only limit to the power of purchase is the power of pro. duction. The population of Great Britain and the United States is respectively not far from thirty millions, yet the internal trade of the United Staton (8 of tenfold greater value than our entire foreign trade, including the Uni.ed Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Our foreign trade with France is lew: than a fifteenth part of the value of our domestic trade. The strength and wealth of a country should be measured by the quantity and velue of its productions which it consumes, and not by what ry to other countries. No civilized nation bia from otber countries a tenth of ita consumption. Mie chusetis and Philadetphia contribute to the consumptioy of the United States more ali Europe, so-also-stie New ‘and New y. Tho trade betwoen Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, on one side, and the New England States on the other, vastly excoeds ‘our trade with Europe.
