Carey, Mathew:

FIFTY-ONE SUBSTANTIAL REASONS AGAINST ANY MODIFICATION WHATEVER OF THE EXISTING TARIFF: WHEREBY THE CONSISTENCY AND PROPRIETY OF THE OPPOSITION OF THE COTTON PLANTERS, THE TOBACCO PLANTERS, THE TOBACCO PLANTERS, AND THE MERCHANTS, TO THE "INFERNAL BILL," ARE FULLY JUSTIFIED. BY A PENNSYLVANIAN.

Philadelphia: H.C. Carey & Lea, 1824. Original printed wrappers, stitched, 12pp, untrimmed. Light wear and edge chipping. Very Good. Sabin attributes authorship of this pro-tariff argument to Mathew Carey.
