V -.Twenty odd years ago, the Southern States
only produced Cotton for, a few domestic
purposes, and its importation! formed a small
item in our catalogue. V At that time, Eu
rope employed- but a small portion in their
manufactories, and that portion was nearly
all to be had from their own or neighbour's
colonies, where its production was more ea
sy than in ourxountry, and it presaged then
no sreat source of wealth. Our population
much inferior to its present amount, tound
the means of. remittance for foreign supplies
from our tobacco, our " corn, -pork, and lum
ber. ..But as our population increased,' new
objectswere necessary to meet the increas-
tracted the attention of the Government and
the people AvjW?se foresight induced the
Government to impose a tax of .'2 cents per
T)ound urion tJie importation, so as to give
all the advantage of our own market to the
Cotton grower.'and to stimulate the produc
tion". , A' very important circumstance - at
ihio ?-riVK oriirrtl in our favor. The dis
turbances in the European Colonies destroyed
- the supply from those regions, and we: step-

i iq-fiest demand. -The concurrence of these
und her - circumstances fresh in the mind of
ftpnjitician, raised the price of Cotton to an
'nTiauirui extent. we reiaxea in our arien
tion to other subjects, and bent - our force
" this most prosperous channel. ,'" Ourlndi-
trawas neglected, anct our customers in that'
H-ticle found other sources of supply1 : and
,a)ove all, we became, not only regardless of
te true policy of the nation, that is, to fost er
"ur nauonai industry in respect to manurac
uires, but even opposed thereunto ; confi
dent that we had found the" Philosopher's
vtone, of which we should never be deprived.
t Our calculations, however, being rude arid
correct, were not long without a clieck.
1 he very Jugh price of. Cotton, produced a
competition from a region which even the
hest informed would scarcely have expected.
'Hie British,1 jealous of our prosperity, and
"oking to the' interest of their own depend
encies, promoted the imrjortation( of-Cotton
jjftm their EastyIndia possessions to a large
amount. Our momentary monopoly -was
"es'royed : the price fell. But here we were
not f bk to fall upon 'any expedient for cor
recting the disadvantages. -This period pro
ceed other occurrences hich bound to
vur new couvse. ' While our extending pop
f 'Mion furnished new fields of production
or ne other articles of the southern exports,
such as tobacco," corn,' pork, tic. new regu-
cic aaopiea oy loreign nations, 10
jV"event tJieir importation amongst them ; and
!hus restrain their increase. Hence Cotton,
at tt reduced price, was still our dependence.
J-ast-indi. Cotton, in the I English' market, by
P"nission of - the British "government
cv a lth(iuh it was no longer the source of
vernowing wealth, iti was the only means
ir employment and supply, in the pre-
s-nt state of our national economy. Thus
we are brought to the present period. '
I will now take the trade as it actually
sands. It is seen that we stand on the foot
ing of ordinary industry and successful com
petition in a foreign market, with our hands
shackled in respect to every other source of
employment.
T will first notice, in this state of things,
the nature oftlie competition I have spoken
of. Tt may be a proper subject of enquiry,
how it happens that the'British Governrnent,
whose great system of policy is monopoly,
should "suffer us to drive out of her own mar
ket, the East -India Cotton, or rather, should
not foster its production and import. Some
will tell us, it is because 'the staple is not
.such as will "suit a well as cur's. 1 his re
mark can only ripply in a small degree ; be
cause two-thirds of the East-India . Cotton,
would answer every purpose in manufactures.
and a small portion ot our best Cotton woulo.
onlv be requisite. -
. But another, and a very imposing reason is
e-iven. and that too. by the anti-tariff orators
in Conerress, viz. that Great-Britain has be
come sensible of the folly of commercial re
strictions.? A more, absurd, fallacious, and
unfounded notioriN never entered into' the
brain of a politician. Here is the reason.
The East-Indies are but tributary or colonial
dependencies. The object of keeping them
in that state, is to make by them, pV drawing
more wealth from them than they can gain by
her. This is the pnlv -motive for possessing co
lonies or dependencies. - Such has been the
state of internal industry, and "manufactures
in India, that only a limited exportation ot
British goods can be circulated there, and
if more is derived from importation, than can
be sold again to other nations, or made
available in promoting her own general
course of trade and monopoly, she loses the
the advantage of her colonial system. Here
her calculations are brought to bear upon
different points. We have been her best,
surest customer, her most faithful and per
severing supporter, by furnishing her more
stable resources in all her adversities than
any other country. She has taken care to
manage us so. far. by intrigue, by false shows
of liberality, and professi ns of good will,
whenever we appeared a little dissatisfied,
that she, holds us'in a state of colonial de
pendence, always taking care that the bal
ance of trade shall be greatly in her favor,
and that ve 9hall continue to serve her as a
mllcli cow. v Cotton is the only tJiihg. for
which ftie has left us a passage,- with only
moderate -impositions - on i's entry. She
knows this js the binding link. If she pre
fers her East lpdia Cotton, she loses in. the
exchange with' her own colonies, and loses
all the profit of our immense supply.. The
Fast-India Cotton stands ready to meet us
in the market, and prevent all rise, beyond
the minimum price ; but it is not her inter
est to protect it farther. Here lies the se
cret ; and these remarks fpply to all other
countries from whence she receives Cotton
in exchange..; She grants us no privilege in
t' e .'market ; but courts the importation from
all countries where she can vend her manu
factures ; thus increasing the competition,
and lowering. the price to her manufacturers,
whereby she i3 enabled to beVt all other na
tions in the supply of the fabrics made from it.
Her policy leads us under her commerciaUlo
"minion and caprice. She encourages the ex.
portation of her goods here in anticipation of
exchange. Our merchants, become herdebt
brs. They make our planters their debtors.
Owr Cotton is thus mortgaged before it is
made ; and w hen the time of payment comes,
we have no alterntive but to pay it, at what
ever price it will bring. The more Cotton
she can thus induce into the market from all
quarters, the lower she gets it, and if the
raw material - costs but little, her superior
kill and constant habit in manufacturing
it, g-ives her the decided advantage in the
market for her return goods.
i We stand now, then, in relation to.forcign
trade (for Britain is the centre) upon our
good behavior and "subject to" all the disad
vantages of such a system as I have described.
' But we have a ' home, market. A home
market ! did I say'. Mention not that idle
theme, say the anti-tariff men. We will not
be the snort of Yankee pedlars. We will
not a err ee to be duned by the cunning- of
northern folks ! It wToold be well, indeed, if
vou' would keep your word ; but you have
all along been the dupes of those northern
and s'lUthern folks too, who, themselves the
transit agents of British commerce, have ta
ken care of themselves in exchan ing your
pmdiicts and your supplies; while, if it bore
hardly and unequally upon the community,
the loss fell upon the planter. The northern
market has been produced by two causes,
most propitious to the southern planter.
First, the temporary check which was. given
Jo -importations by the non-intercourse 6ys
em. Secondly, by the partial increase which
has been made to the duties on impost s,certaiu
descriptions of cotton - goods seem to have
acquired a. permanent existence, which re-
ouire a larsre supply of our cotton ,This
siipplyV being less fettered by the policy, of
anticipated exchange and 1 mortgage, has af
forded a better price than the foreign, &f has
contributed durihg the; last three years, to
preventfthe greater depression of the article :
for, when at the season. of payment, a is al
ways the case the cotton goes to, market,
and is: there bantered down by The transit
gentry, a stay lias been" afforded by -the ex
pectation of the demand tor the home mar
jetj nd thus has cotton been kept up seve
ral cents higrher than it would otherwise
have been if left o the cupidity of the foreign
agenfcv - . . -. ' rf ik, . -. -v- -,-:4 :-r
1 have only now to remarJC on tne present
state of the cotton trade, - that jt standa upon
minimum gipund, and is there stationery.
It is met in the market' by the cotton of the
West-Iiidies- of the Spanish, Portuguese and
British Provinces, situated in regions he best
adapted for its culture where there is.; no
wiriier; to impeae us progress or preservati
on. TJue quantity we supply w tiie. tureign
1
market, is,as much as that market will bear.
And now fin the 'future!-- Wise men might
be expected to look beyond tile present mo
ment ; out our creed, at present seems to De,
to look neither before 'nor behind ; but to
look steadily at ourifeet, and deny the exist
ence of everv thmc bevond our limited
view ; saying, let fus alone, for we don'
chuse to be incommoded. We might,, in
deed, raise our heads, and, looking bacfc
perceive that our cotton trade " has vastly
changed in it s value ; for one huhdred'bales
of cotton used to brinsr as much as two hun-
dred and fifty how and fhere must be some
accountable cause for the decline. If we
would condescend to take this view, perhaps
we might be induced to turn round, and look
to the future. ' '''
" The prospect for , the future, upon - the
ground of our present policy, is most appall
ing. We deny I ourselves the advantages
which would inevitably result from a wise re
gulafion of our trading system, so as to en
courage, .by ever means, the extension of
our home market, hot only for Cotton, but
for Tobacco, Sugar, Indigo and other dve
stuffs, . &.C. ; and issist upon being left to the
foreign trade; because our Cotton yet finds a
market abroad, and pavs for our supplies, or
nearly ao. We .send there 600,000 bags of
Cotton. This siipply meets a demand, leav
ing us about lo cents per pound on an aver
age, after paying carriage, . expences, &c.
'One'; third more Oottun thrown into the for
eign market, wouldV create a glut and greatly
reauce tne price, uoes not. everv man see
that this bears no i comparison with theim
crease which must immediately take place
I will admit that some increase will take place
in the foreign . maiket, but what compar son
can this make, with the increase of the pro
duct P Even in our sectio'n of country, the cul
ture is greatly extending, when we turn to the
new regions of the South and West ; to Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Florida. So much is within our own view.
But this is not all. The Provinces of the, Span
ish and Portuguese Main, where the climate
is so genial, are settling down in indepen
dence : and a vast supply will come from
thence, beyond all common calculations.
Here, we may see the event of our policv.
But we are too wise to learn, and too confi
dent to consider. f Nay, but this is not all.
We very confident Southern politicans may
lose even the advantage of our own Northern
market. I am aware that this will be treated
as an idle notion, but I will state my views
upon it.
The protecting duty on the importation of
cotton is two and a half cents. Although,
from the situation of the American Provinces
near the Emiatori, where cotton can Vje raised
with such advantage, but little has been seen
of their advance in its culture ; and although
the price has been greatly reduced by our
own extensive supply of the article ; yet, it
appears from the last 1 reasury Document on
the subject of our trade, that nearly sixty
thousand dollars worth of Cotton was last
year imported into the United Slates. Shall
I be asked the cause ? It is this.- Northern
Vessels go to the West Indies and South A-
meri can Provinces with articles of trade, and
find there Cotton at a price which will enable
tSiem to pay the duty and sell it. as low as our
Cotton is . sold to the Northward. If they
make no profit upon the Cotton, it answers
better' sometimes for remittance than other
articles.; And, if ever those countries get in
to the full pursuit of this trade, we Southern
ers may . rely, that, with the present duty,
many thousand bags of Cotton will be import
ed mto the Northern States, unless the price
witn us is so low. as to leave us tne mere staves
of every-trafficking master - .
yj Ouv policy ought to be, to procure the
catest protection we can for every article
we can raise our Cotton, our Tobacco, our
Indigo, &c.&.c. To promote, with all our
souls the introduction of manufactures into
tle "country : thereby bringing within our
own domain a certai;i market, and creating
such a division of labor and pursuits, as would
render us free from the distresses incident to
th e failure of one particular pursuit, in which
a particular section Of country has embarked
its fortune.
