Actually it doesn't. Show me in his quote you posted where it says "tariff"?

Definition of tariff: "A taxation imposed on goods and services imported into a country. Also known as a duty tax."

Funny. I remember calling this one. "And since you are probably too dense to realize that he is obviously referring there to the taxation of imports." Thanks for validating my earlier observation.

And a tariff is a tax by the way. In the 1820's most of the federal government's revenue came from tariffs, ergo when Jefferson wrote about redistributionist federal taxes he was referring to the tariff system.
