J I will now,y Mr.; Spettker,'.uHdertake to acquaint the House with the magnitude and val ue of aisingle agricultural product of the South, which 1 conceive must be materially aHecied by the operation of thisbilL. The export of cotton for 1826, was 192 millions of pounds, which, at the low! price of cotton at that t.me, was worth about 24 millions of dollars. The whole' of the, exportsj of the United States was valued jit 7S millions of dollars.' The value of the cotton ex ported n 1825, was 36 millions oftlollars, though less injquan,tity by 16 millions of pounds,' thar, the,exp'rt of lt526..The honorable chairman estinvtj?:s1 the -cotton" consumed by the home manutactures, at. 54 millions of pound"!, making an agjrreffate of near 250 millions of pounds of thii'prijduct consumed by manufacturing estab lishmeiitSj of which we hve an account. I? must be-.rohv'ous to gentb'men, that -a considerable quantity - must be used throughout the country, which is not brought into the account. -These facts must give the House a lively idea of the im mensej value of the capital and labor devoted to this prjoduct ; how infinite ly greater than that sought to be unjnstly neferred to it b' this bills ami alo Avhat discouraging" fluctuations In the value pf their principal "product tins great inter est endures. ' , - ' " w - " In 1825, 17.6 M illions of pounds of cotton are worth'36 millions rf doUars;"in the next year," 192 millions of pounds are worth only 24 millions of dollars t Here, sir, is a mightj'. fluctuation-' it is, indeed, the rollingback of the waves. - But, sir, this suffering plass have not called for any .re lief frdim the Government. Tlieylook to no oth er source of relief than their own exertions; and. they are obliged to console .themselves wiih the hope f better, times TJieir silence, M. Spea ker, is by no mans to be regarded us any evi dence, that they can, bear this state of things betterthan the nsanufcture:s, but. arises in. a great (measure from their different habits and dis positions v They. have not been accustomed to be nourished and fostered by the Government at the ejxpense -of other classes of their fellow-citizens and whSnr they find, tiiemselves in. a 'sink ing cond tion, they cyleavor to sell out and try theirjfbrtune in the wiUls of tho ; South or West. They are compelled toscll their patrimony- and tJie acquisitions of hrir: own,dab'or,- in many in stance forne-tha'd. of .their value, and thin to sacrifice their capital at .' one fell swoop." , Now, sir, let us compare their distress with that of the mamdacturers. - We are tout by the honorable chairjman, that impending ruin threatens the man ufactnres from depressions e,f price ; and he has selected j, aa example,'-which 1 presume . is the strongest where the widden introduction of Eng glishj manufactures depiessetl the price of apar-licular-ktnd cf" American '"manufactures, from $2 60 to $2.a y-irtl, iivthe Philadelphia market. Kow Mr. Speaker, this depression is not so great . ft llffvrpfi bv tKt. totton t,.,,, Nor . .1 ; 1 1. . ... .rr i i... other branches ot muustry 4 it. was . occasioned, too, as the honorable gentleman told iis, by the cunning tactics of the foreign manufacturer, who .willingly suffered a prodigious loss in ortier to ruin his American rival. . If this was the case, sir, We-m y-be sure it is . a traffic in which the Eng, Iish'imanufacturer cannot persevere, To traile fop a loss is really a curious trafTic: and will soon f cci. itscii., u iiccus nut ! mc 'inicrveniiun 01 legislation v?.-JJut; says tiie honorable gentleman, the Government is ound, to protect the - manu factrers at home rginst these insidious arts of theirrivals.V "Now, s:r, I conceive that this Would be rather a hard task, (even admitting the obli gationv)" no law has yet been found severe enough to prohibit- 'a trafiicwhen those wlio"intend to engage in. it are wil li ng ; and ab le. to pay all "the "forfeitures. ,4f the fori. ign manufacturer no'w,. sir. isVilling'to submit to a prodigious Joss to injure his competitor, what is-to prevent him from at t.emptirtg to smuggle his goods when they are prohibited ?

But, cerainy, sir, the. wool growers," whose land and stock; have been estimated by the honorable gentleman fronv Ver mont; at 40 millions, and by the gentleman 4om Massachirsetts at a'till greater amount, (for. he so bses the numberof sheep-to bej 15 millions, n H eadof.lO millions s estimated by the gntle mao fro'm .Vermonti) Gertatnlyy sipAhey lo not complain of, this and the advocates of. this, bill propose not only to retain this dmy,. but to in crease it.

Whv is the- duty lor. the raw material then to be continued? ' I tear, sir, that there are some .tactics about this too. If foreign wool is prohibited, the natural result would be to enhance the price of the domestic . wool to the manufacturers. But the-wool-growing interest mustbe conciliated, andtheir influe.ice obtained, arid this must be done, too, without injuring the manufacturing interest. - How is this to be done? AVhy, simplyjby' imposing so high a duty on the importation of the woollen fabric, vthat theccmi siimer may . be compelled to p y" acontribut in heavy enough to divide a handsome profit be tween the domestic wod-gro wer apd the domes tic fab rica'tor ; ,d' thus, sir tl i eTarh ily om p act jmay be adjusted. jyvo. hundred and Jnttr per. cent will, very probably, 1 thinks effect this matter -: y' - y v::; y y 1;;);;; Is 'there no other mode In whicK the doriiestic manufrcturer. can be relieved against tbemodifi cation of the British tariff Sir,,they will not ven" permit meinquiry to be m de. .
