' continued rom last No.) Andther reason, operating still mot-e dwerfiilly, inducing me to believe that! a ax in favor of the manufacturers of 20 er cent, even Will afibrd sufficient protec tion 2nd is all that honesty and fairness ought td demand is the large profits real ized by those who are engaged in them. The income upon Capital invested in manu factures is said in some cases to be as high as 40 per Cent; that is, fdr every hundred dollars employed in manufacturing, an an nual profit of forty ddllars is obtained Whilst the average profit of investments 'in agriculture cannot be mdre than 4 or 5 per cent The average profit from ihe labor of a halnd in agriculture is Computed at sixty ddllars, whilst the average of a hand employed in rristridfac tuning is said to be one hundred and sixty- nearly three times as much. When there is such a vast difference in the profits of the twoNerfipl4y nrtents, is it not reversing the order of things to insist that the least profitable oc cupation should be taxed, in order to swjell the income Und receipts of the most profita ble? i -: .'" j Again: The ddvocates of a high tariff tell US that it is necessary in order to pre vent the impdrtation of foreign-goods- into this country. They tell us that they- can not compete with the foreigner,, if he is al lowed id bring his manufactures into this country. The foreigner, it is alleged, will Undersell and ruin him. It is by such ap peals to the patriotism and pride of ; the people, that heavy protective tariffs j are enacted, in order to keep the foreign man ufacturer out of the country.

His freight and in surance, and expenses of purchasing, and difference in exchange, have cost him, or 8 per een4.; an4, to- enable hi m to live art continue his business, he must put on a per cent to7 pay for his own trouble. He cannot well do with less than 12 or 12 J oer cent. AIL these several : sunls make up about 45 per cent. If the subtreasury bill, which passed this;House dririg7 the present session, shall become a law, the tariff duties wiR be collecied in gold & silver. I he difference between gold and silvery in ordi nary tknes and in large qmmtities, must be sr cent or so; and jn times of. revulsions and mercantile , distress, which the banks of the country know so- yyeH how to- pro duce, thi difference risenas hrgJ au. eight or ten cents. Before, iimporte eign goods is prepared', therefore, to-enter the market of our own country Jn compete tion- witlV,. the domestic: maiufa5Jturer,his goods have cost him -45 or 50 cents , in i the dollar oyer and ab?V(B M?t original cost. everi "Under the very'ldwest duty we pro pose. ; Certainly, this iS In all conscience giving advantage enough to our own manu facturers Certainly, Whfen they ask for a higher ta'x-for slil 1 greater advantages they CanndUask It becaUse their dwn ex istence and well-being demariditj but in order that they make large and exorbitant prdhtS,u arii aCCUnriitlate lordly estates. With What tr'Uth, thenj Can it be said that the advocates of a revenUe tariff: are the sworn enemies of dui4 hHanUfacturtng es tablishments; "that their 1 whole purpose $ is to destroy them?. There is rid truth nor shadow df fdundattdh for any such Chdrge. It is only their cormdrdrtt and insatiatQ ap petite for exorbitant profits for excessive d i vidends-whi Ch - w e resist. - But, sir, the advocates df a" high protec tive talriff aid dress to us two Considerations, which they think --should indUce us td faVor high taxation far the encouragement of our own manulactdrles; and 1- must Contess that, if either consideration is founded in truth, we should riot only be reconciled to the ! very highest tariff which cduld be im posed, but dur own interest Would prompt us to become its Warhi and most Jealous advocates. The ; -firsts "of- the,se con sideratidns is the dne that a high tariff lessens the price of the articles on which it is imposed. The other v part of the doctrine teaches that hd weyer high a tariff my but - that be imposed, we tto? not? pay it, ' the foreign . rhahUfaCturer, whose goods are imported into , this coun try, pays it. Nowj a$ to the first consider ation or argument Vo wit, that high taxes lessen the prices of the afticle$ on vvhich they Te i m posed. Is thi S really t ru e? If it be trUe, the' first and irresis- tibleeriVottori .excited Vi it tlie mind jo a rational creature is that' of surprise arid astonishment . that jthe manufactu rers themselves should be found arrayed dn the side of a high tax. If it were really true that a high protective tariff lessened the price, and the manufactures' were . in truth advocating it vjrith that 'impression and lor that reason, they would cer tainly exceed any other people, or class of people in the known world for charity,., lor lioirality, and magnani mity. Whilst all the rest of the world are disposed to get all they can for what they hlive to Sell, the good "and charita- .-.

Is conduct like 'this reasohaSle? Is it such as-corresponds- with purknowl edge of human nature? Do not our expe rience and- observation teach us that, in all silriations iri life; all are disposed to mke the best bargain they can to obtain : the highest price possible for What1 they have to sell? The honorable member from Vermont (Mr.'. 61 lamer) seem to think that the operati o n of the tar i tT,in red ucing the 1 price of goods is the simplest and plainest of allthlri -VBemre the vtarifl, he" supposes the shoemaker to sell one pair of shtfisa dayv at apclear nprdfitof 10 cents. Alter tne lanu. the enecis oi Whichyhe admits, is to keep out the foreign1 vshbes,-5 the' shoemaker " is ' ena bled to sell three -paif a : day 'at - the sarrieprtifit of -'10 cents each. - He how makes' thjrty" cents a day instead ct tencenls; and! therefore can j afford to sell them cheaper.: -The i honorable mem- per does, hot appear to ' have- ad verted in thi3 connexion to the fact' that! this sudden 'ncrease of profits in that 'particular busi ness would divert capital from dther em plo3rilents where it is less profitably in Vested, to be engaged in the shoemakin business, and that this increase df shoema kers will sddn diminish the sale to a pir of shoes - a day,- instead i of r three. lid eems to have attended still less to the ad- mission which he makes : in stating his proposition,' that the commerce-the navi gating interest which, before the tariff) was engaged in bringing foreign shoes intd the country, is destroyed or greatly crip pled by h9 prohibitory tariffV for it is only Upon the supposition that foreign shoes arc entirely prohibited that his theory is foun ded;; And the inquiry. might very proper ly be made of him to know what right this government has to destroy one inter est in order to build up another onjits ruins -to destroy the navigating interest, for" instance, to build up and:increase the pro fits of the manufacturing interest, whether1 that manufacture be the making of Shoes cr any other commodity. . ' t ); Again if a high tariff lessened the pried of articles, of merchandise, one wouldvery naturally suppose that the manufacturers ' and the'r friends ' wduld favorthe very highest tax upon all the materials they use irt their operations; that they would for iu stahce,: beseech jCongress, in order that they might be cheapened, to .imposs the very highest tax on the Wool of New Holland, or . of Morocco, which.is' rioW brought into the country On a tarifTof on ly 5 per cent.; on the hemp of Russia, and on the indigo of India, which are now sub ject to a very inconsiderable tax; or on the dyewood of Prussia, which is now impor ted ii)to our country free of duty 1 : But the manufacturing interest is oppo sed to all duty Upon these articles", which they would not and could not be if . the ef fect of a high duty was to enable them to be bought at a lower price. A most won derful people these manufacturers are r wonderful in their sagacity to see benefits where no one else can see them; wonder ful in their honesty, wonderful in their Hberality, and most Wonderful in their magnanimity. ? - They are not only willing to sell what they have to spare at the very lowest price; but they are also willing that the laws under which they live should bes so framed as to compel them to give tha very highest prices for e v e ry thi n g th ey have to buy. They have found Out that tire world has been laboring under a delu- siori for the last four thousand years cf longer, whilst it has taught, as a lesson of wholesome prudence, that you should buy where; you can buy cheapest, and sell where you can el! for the most. . Their motto now is, Buy where'you have to pay the highest! prices, and sell to those v,ho ces. ; In this way you are taught to D such a trade has, 1 venture to say, eludca the-.-peiception 'of -all, save thelkeen-siht?- ed manufacturer. This is but a fair appli cation of : their-doctrines to the every-day transactions of ? life. Can anything be more delusive cauany-thing , be moro false?; Is it possible that , t human, reason can be brought to. believe it? It has not even the .appearance of plausibility to re commend iu They ; wish ; I to. sell their goods at lower prices; hence they support a high ! tariff: : . They wish I to buy their hemp - and wool at the highest pricer; hence they resist every attempt to tax them at all.
