But, suppose the alternative were really forced upon us of continuing the foreign system, with its inevitable impoverishment of the country, but with the advantage of the present mode of collecting the taxes, or of adopting the American svstem. with its increase of the national wealth, but with the disadvantage of an excise, could any one he...sitate between them ?
