Sevenhundred and fifty thousandpeople have emigrated from Europe in the past year. and you have now engaged in all of the protected manufactures of the country but 850.000 people. Why will you tax us upon everything that we exchange our tobacco for. everything that we exchange our cotton for? What difference is there in taxing the export and taxing the import? The Constitution fbrbids you to tax us upon the exportation of our tobacco. but you put a prohibitory tax upon all that we buy in foreign countries with it. What is the difference between taxing our exports and taxing the things that we swap them for in foreign countries?
