Debate on the Tariff in the Senate January 16
The Senate resumes the Clay tariff debate arguing for abolishing duties on foreign articles except wine and silk. Hayne offers amendments to equalize duties and reduce revenue effect. Speaker critiques the protecting system, cites South Carolina and Kentucky harms, notes westward and northern gains as illusory, and warns of unequal burdens and ruined commerce if tariffs persist.
