Revenue and Tariff Proposed by Secretary Woodbury
Secretary Woodbury reports to Congress on how to raise revenue in 1842 and avert a yearly deficit. He suggests a 15 percent duty on the 38 million dollars of goods imported free, selecting luxury items like tea coffee and silk and competition with American industry to yield about 29 million annually. Some necessities now taxed 20 percent may be reduced or exempt, while gradual reductions under the Compromise Act remain at 20 percent after June 1842.
