NATIONAL INDUSTRY.
CIRCULAK OF THE NAT X INSTITUTION.
Sir: On behalf of the National Insti
tution for the Promotion oil Industry, we
be? leave to address vou pn the momen
. . ; ..... . . . T
tous objects which it ha$ in view
In
doins this .we feel
a conyicuon xiuu we
are laboring in a cause identified with
the best interest of the country.
That agriculture, manufactures, and
commerce, are intimately connected in
their prosperity ; that they are mutually
dependent on each other ; and that,
what will aid the one in the U. States,
will aid the others, can no longer be
doubted. The soil furnishes the raw
materials foi consumption and manufac
ture ; manufacturers consume these ma
terials, and turn them into articles of util
ity; and commerce gives them distribu
tion and sales. It is equally apparent
and undeniable that it isfar more prudent
and profitable for a nation to rely on a
home trade, that employs the industry of
her own people, and keeps her capital
in the country, than on a fluctuating fo
reign commerce, subject to . degrading
and capricious regulations and one, too,
that drains the country of her specie, in
troduces foreign manufactures, which
could be produced, within herself, to the
consumption' of her surplus productions
discourages industry and enterprize,
and reduces her to, a dependence on a
pernicious papery currency, and a false
system of credits. No wise nation, from
the foundation of the yorld, has encour
aged foreign, to the ruin of inland, trade
and exchange. ;
, This country is destined to be a vast
commercial power. The extent ami va
riety of her soil; the great rivers and
water communications which intersect
her: the rich and useful minerals con
tained in her bosom ; the sites for water (
privileges in every section of her territo
ry ; the boldness and industry of her
people ; and the rapid extension of her
population, combine to render her an ex
porting not an importing nation. But
it.is in vain that nature has marked lier
out for elevated fortunes, if shewill not
use the means placed, in her hands'io be
great, powerful and independent, and
cease to be fed clothed, taxed, and de
graded, by foreign nations. -
Two considerations naturally follow
these reflections : .
1. What is the present condition of
the country ? .
2. What should be done to remedy te
evils which we endure r j
As to the first point, it is answered by:
the loud voice of national lamentation.
Our produce is in our hands without a
competent market. A universal check
is given to agriculture ; . real estate has
fallen one-third in value ; rents have fal
len 5,000,000 in three of our princi
pal cities ; ; one third of the shipping go
ing to decay, or employed to little, or no
profit ; the people are deeply in debt ;
and law suits, -forced sales of property,
and bankruptcy, pervade the Union ;
credit is every where imparted or ruin
ed; manufactures are in ruin, or barely
struggling for existence ; the national
government unable to meet its expendi
tures by $ 5,000,000 taxation staring us
in the face; the laboring classes unable to
find employment, and pressed for the
means of subsistence. And, to crown the
whole, the capital of the nation the
hard-earned fruit of odr enterprize and
industry is drawn from the country, to
sustain foreign nations, employ foreign
laborers, purchase foreign fabrics, pay
foreign taxes, and increase the power of
our rivals. Over this appalling picture
well may the nation ponder !
2d. What ought to be done under
these circumstances? We answer, let
National industry find protection , let the
national government depend on the in
ternal resources of the country; let ag
riculture find encouragement by a per-
manent home market ; let foreign com-
merce depend on the extent of our eene-
f ral prosperity, and be prosecuted to the
advantage of the nation: let the labor
and enterprize of our own citizens be
fostered, before those of foreign nations $
To c W. rlothe.and defend ourselves;
let the capiral of the country DC. Kepi in r
the country, instead of bdrig eipx).
purchase the fabrics and lune of opr
commercial rivals ; let paper credits
discardedso far as the national .revenue
is concerned; the auction nionop
broken down ; a permanent system tf
internal revenue devised. The steps are
piness, and the lasting prosperity of the
ma.n nnlp- When the steps are
pursued, a new and bemgn era wiU take
lace in our national history. e
The approaching session of Congresat
will determine whether the nation is to
Uink into the deep and yarning gull oi
ruin, or be redeemed from distress ana
error, oy an eniigmciicu ou -"6'"
system of policy. Ours is a representa-
tiv cvntpm of government, and tlie peo-
pie have a right to speak to theirrepre-
sentatives. The friends of national in-
- - c ' . . -
dustrv. in every section of the union,
must erect their standard, and rally un
der it, as the last hope ; of a desponding
nation. They must speak together; and
speak, in a voice that cannot be unhee
ded In union there is victory.
On behalf of the National Institution
for the Promotion of Industry, we ask
you to stand forth and boldly and prompt
ly aid us in the clause of suffering mil
lions. If agriculture, if commerce, if do
mestic manufactures, have friends in your
vicinity, we conjure you to call them to
gether, that their united grievances may
be presented, at the approaching meet
ing of Congress to the councils of the
nation. The friends of the association
for which we act, will concentrate their
efforts to the accomplishment of the three
following objects, to which they ardently
hope the memorials and petitions of oth
ers will be directed :
I. The passage of the Tariff Bill, ns
proposed by the Committee on Manufac
tures, at the last session of Congress ;
II. The abolition; of all credits on
the importation of goods, wholly, or in
part, manufactured ; and,'
III. Such duties on sates at auc
tion as will place . American merchants
and manufacturers on terms of fair com
petition with foreigners. -
The success of these three propositions
would change the internal condition of
the United tates and place them on
the broad and immoveable basis of na
tional prosperity. By attaining fhi first
object, we shall see Domestic Manufac
tures flourish, a home market opened to
our produce, our capital ; retained- in the
country, agriculture fostered, the labor of
our own citizens demanded, a permanent
inland and foreign trade encouraged, and
all classes of people relieved from pres
ent distresses. By attainingjhe second,
the present deficit of $ 5,000.000 in the
National Treasury will be relieved, by
the immediate payment of large amounts
in duties, and losses onathe eustom-house
bonds, and suits, which now extend to"
the sum of $ 3,000,000 prevented. By
the third, the foreign manufacturer and
monopolist will be debarred from forcing
public sales, that discourage and destroy
the American merchant. On these points,
we shall take the liberty of enlarging in
a general Address, previous to the meet
ing of Congress. I.
Happily for the succcess of the com
mon cause, embraced by tii e National
Association for which we act, prejudi
ces are wearing away, and the farmers
of the north, and the planters of the
south, must seee the necessity-of encour
aging domestic manufactures, which will
consume raw materials, and remove a
fatal dependence on foreign markets.
For, can it be doubted, that our cotton;
tobacco, and other produce, will as soon
as it is possible, be excluded from every
port of Europe? Already millions of
bushels of grain are exported through
the Mediterreari from the shores of the
Black Sea, and our flour prohibited from
England, France, the West Indies, and
other places of sale. Already are the
cotton and tobacco of the southern states
supplanted in the British market, to pn
alarming extent, by the same articles
cultivated by the British Colonies in the
East Indies; or obtained from cotton and
tobacco plantations in South America.
Five years more upon our present sys
tem, and, instead of exporting " immense
quantities of cotton, we shall have to buy
and wear British manufacturers, purchas
ed with cash, and leave om agriculture
unprotected and without encouragement.
Not only are we now excluded from the
ports of Europe by high duties and se
vere prohibition- not only is every arti
cle of American manufacture denounced
by a hostile tariff, wherever it interferes
with the home fabrics of other nations ;
but, by means of bounties, premiums,
and drawbacks, extended to manufac
turers in other countries and by other
governments ; and by means of the pre
sent pernicious auction system in this
country, England, France, Russia, Swe
den, Scotland, Ireland, and the East In
dies, drive off our own manufactures out
of the American market.
It is time for the American govern
ment to shake off her fetters, and meet
these nations upo theirown ground:
Free trade whh those that oermit free
rtradej prohibition to those who proni-

W EIGHTS AND MEASURES.
A well-written article on this subject
has lately appeared in the New-York '
Statesman, and has been copied in other
papers. The power to regulate weights
and measures, like that to establish an
uniform rule concerning bankruptcies, k
expressly granted by the : Constitution to
titer Congress of the United States. Like
that too, it has been the subject of enqui
ry and discussion, but we have yet no
definite' legislation on it. It, is, when
one thinks of it, surprising, that, powers
so granted that the exercise of them is
almost obligatory -on Congress, should;,
have been suffered to be so long unem
ployed. In the the difficulties which sur
round both subjects, we shall find the
Lest reason for this delay.
The subject of a bankrupt system has
been repeatedly before Congress, andne
do not doubt but a law on that subject
will soon pass. It is fully before the
People whose Representatives only wait
for an expression of their opinion ib ifc
favor. .
With respect to the regulation of
Weights and Measures, an opinion is ex
pressed, in the article to which we refer,
that it would be a fit subject to oecupy
the attention of Congress at an early day.
The manner of this intimation induce
us to believe that he who made it, and
those who have copied it, are not aware
of the fact, that Congress, though they -have
not legislated on the, subject, have
never lost sight of it. By the recommen
dation of j the Executive, and in other
shapes, it has beeri frequently presented
to their notice. It is now the subject
reference, to one ofthe. Departments o:
the Governroeut, by the following
solve-: j r - ;-
In Senate of the United States,
! 1 MARCH 3, lM-
Resolved, 1 That it be referred to the
Secretary of State to prepare and rep
to the Senate a statement- relative to tie
regulations and standards for weights ans
measures in the several states and res
tive to proceedings in foreign countries
for establishing uniformity ia weights and
measures, together withi such proposi
tions relative thereto, as may be prqp
to be adopted in the United States.
- Subsequently to this resolution of tf
Senate the subject has been before a com
mittee of the House of Representative,
of which air. Lowndes was the chairman ;
by whom an elaborate report was ,niade'
That report was suffered to lie on W
table until the report to the Senate shouit
be aade.
The subject has therefore been
ally or virtually referred, by both
ses, to the Department of State, to repo
thereon. It is one which requires pet'
haps more close and laborious inves tgJ
tkm, than any other which is Ykty
become the subject of legislation by Cy'
gress, and if we are not much mists5
