Excerpt from The United States Review: No. 1-January, 1834; A Discourse Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Brown University, Delivered September 4th, 1833; An Address Delivered Before the American Institute, at Chatham Street Chapel, in the City of New York, October 17th, 1833
When we speak of the propriety of adopting countervailing regulations in the case under consideration, we are aware that there are extraneous reasons why, notwithstanding what has been said, they should not, in every such case, be adopted. The raising or lowering of any duty, from the actual state of public opinion on the general subject, is ever a matter of earnest con test between two parties, each of them indisposed, when they can help it, to yield an inch of ground to one another. The consequence is, that it becomes a real objection to the imposi tion of any duty, however professedly imposed for a temporary purpose, that it may be extremely difficult to effect its repeal. What we mean by the measure recommended is, that, could we freely put on or take off any duty on foreign imports, we would be disposed to proceed in the manner which has been mentioned.
