Stran 10 - ... such duties shall be laid for the purpose of raising such revenue as may be necessary to an economical administration of the government...
Stran 11 - An act to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and to grant preemption rights...
Stran 30 - ... 4. That the maximum revenue duly should be imposed on luxuries. 5. That all minimums, and all specific duties, should be abolished, and ad valorem duties substituted in their place — care being taken to guard against fraudulent invoices and undervaluation, and to assess the duty upon the actual market value. 6.

I am opposed to a Tariff for protection merely, and not for revenue.
Stran 213 - Our progress toward a wise conclusion will not be improved by dwelling upon the theories of protection and free trade. This savors too much of bandying epithets. It is a condition which confronts us, not a theory.
Stran 210 - The proposition with which we have to deal is the reduction of the revenue received by the Government, and indirectly paid by the people from customs duties. The question of free trade is not involved, nor is there now any occasion for the general discussion of the wisdom or expediency of a protective system.
