1866.] OF THE SENATE. 209
AND WHEREAS, We are firmly convinced of the wisdom of
Congress adopting such a policy as will not only protect, but
foster and develope, this great source of National wealth,
now comparatively dormant, adding thereby to the income
of the General Government and the prosperity of our peo-
ple at large; Therefore,
Be it resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
they hereby earnestly urge upon the Congress of the
United States to reject the recommendation of the Revenue
Commissioner to reduce the duty on foreign Coals, and that
there be imposed the following import duty on Coal from the
British Provinces: an import duty of one dollar and fifty
cents ($1 50) per ton.
Upon Coals from Great Britain, an import duty of two
dollars per ton.
Thereby enabling the people of the State to enter more
largely upon the development of these vast resources, now
almost dormant, and needing the fostering care of Congress
here asked for.
Which were read the first time and by special order the
second time and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading;
Bead the third time by special order, three-fourths concur-
ing, and passed by yeas and nays as follow:
