Title
Regarding Dissimilar Commercial Regulations
Description
Coxe, a Commissioner for Pennsylvania, asks the Maryland Commissioners to pass on a message to their state Legislature. Coxe states that though difference of circumstances has led to dissimilar trade regulations, none should be adopted which militate against the fundamental and essential principles of the Union. Some states charge duties on out-of-state vessels and goods equal to the duties imposed on foreign imports. This practice is, in Coxe's opinion, counter to the principles of the Union. He proposes that all citizens of the Union pay the same duties, regardless of state of origin or activity.
