8260. TARIFF, Direct taxation and.—
Would it not have been better [in the new
Federal Constitution] to assign to Congress
exclusively the articles of imposts for Federal
purposes, and to have left direct taxation exclusively
to the States? I should suppose the
former fund sufficient for all probable events,
aided by the land office.—
