Duty on Artillery
Its advantages as
compared with the other
burthen

The proposed duty on Producers Artillery is alluded with
As a part only of the advantages derivable from the
proposed duties on Gunpowder attach ad to those
a part only of the advantages resulting from the duties on that class of Fire-arms which is comprised under
proposed duties on Small arms. It has no operation the name of Small arms, so a part only of these adhere
to the proposed duties on Trial Guns and other Artillery.
These latter two to operation A tax on this latter article has no operation

prohibition
of export
of artillery.

In as far as it was were borne by nature, it would
be a very gentle and equable equal two, diffusing half,
like a Post-duty, in the most equable, proportion of
over the whole mass of foreign trade. In as far as it
were borne by foreigners, it would operate as an easement

of its operating in the way of a prohibition and a restraint
on this branch of trade might easily be obviated by the known

of Arms and ammunition to foreign countries has
never been disputed. Those laws would derive a
great accession of efficiency from the laws here proposed.
A constant account current of the stock
coming in, going out, and remaining in hand being
thus kept up, not an article could be sent out of the
country without being missed.
