v The undersigned, members of a coni
, \ niittee appointed la prepare and present
~ ( to Congress a memorial on the subject
■ lof the protecting system, beg leave to
, 'present the following views, in nd.lition
Jlotlust’ presented by the Chairnmirol
j ■ lli-'t (laminittre. We do not claim to
r I represent the Committee, nor do we
’ 'suppose it to be within our power to add
j 10, or improve, the clear and masterly
argument on the general subject, of the
table and distinguished statesman who
, drailed the memorial. Hut ns imliv ide
al members of the committee for the.
I avoidingofinisconeeptioii, and oa behalf
. of (he particular sections of (he country
in which we reside, and which we have
in some short represented, we ask per
mission to explain our own views on a
few particular topics. We most fully
approve of the several propositions
which form the basis of the memorial,
and, with one or (wo slight, exceptions,
are rather supplementary than contra
dietary to those contained in that docn
meat.
The memorial assumes that the snn
necessary to he raised lor the ordinary
expenses of government, will, idler (lie
public debt shall have been paid oil', and
the protecting duties ultimately reduced,
amount to about thirteen millions of ilol
hirs; that it maybe necessary lo rids,
this amount hy customs, and the view
anil calculations of the memorial, nr.
founded on the supposition that, dutiiv
averaging twenty percent, mid admit
ting discriminations lo the amount u>
twenty-live percent, may he necessary
for this purpose.
The estimate ol thirteen millions fir I
the ordinary expenses of government, i- 1
founded on ti calculation of the nverag.
expenditure for several years past. On <
this subject, permit, ns to suggest niori
distinctly, (lint these have hern years ol i
very high expenditure. More than Hire 1
millions of this amount have been nppli I
ed to fortifications, the gradual increase i
of the navy, revolutionary pensions, and ■
internal improvements. In the inilureol i
tilings, most of the sources of expense
must gradually diminish ; and, with re j
sped to (he policy of others, public opin- .
ion is divided. Ills contemplated that i
the reduction of protecting duties, and .
consequently of lev rime, shull be gruiln

scale.
The memorial does not take* into cal i
eolation the revenue derived from the I
public lands, from the bank, and other in j
ei.lental sources. Tne undersigned beg .
leave to say for themselves, that they |
have not understood it to come within \
the views of (he convention or of the I
| committee, to make any suggestion I
I w Imlever to your honorable body on the t
subject of (he public lands. Assuming ,
i I lad the revenue from these sources is to I
continue, it, cannot he necessary to raise (
more than nine, or at (lie utmost ten mil t
lions hy the customs. Hy the report of <
tin* {Secretary-of 11 to Treasury, il appears t
that the income from these sources Ims y
amounted, from the two past years, to t
about three millions, and he estimates il (
for the present year at three millions six i
hundred thousand dollars. I
If the future average of imported i
goods, paving duties and consumed iu t
the United {slates, be estimated at fifty t
seven and a half millions, which the me- ,
mo ria I supposes to Ini ve been Ihe average r
of the last, six yeais, then mi average du- |
ty of about 17 percent, would be aecrs- |
nary to raise u revenue of 10 millions. (
We beg leave to suggest, howe.-er, that (
the average of future y ears w ill certainly *

IKMI, that (luring the whole period often

of imparts for consumption, of about one

hie, that (lie rate ol increase of duties by

the period referred to. T his increase
I may not be in the ratio of the increase ol
■ population, though il the same relative
I proportion of labor should continue to be

lies for exportation, and those products

I lut*,Iut*, this would seem lobe (lie natural re
. suit. Vet we suppose 11 1 sit tis the coun
try becomes more populous, n larger por
I tioa of its labor may he applied to the
i production of commodities lor the home
i market and that the value of exports
i j may depreciate. To w/mt extent these
causes may retard the increase of ex
• ports, and prevent its keeping pace with
the increase of population, it is impossi
ble lo say. They operate gradually and
’ slowly.
We submit, however, that the rate ol
increase of imports is likely to im reasi
more rapidly in consequence of u great
' reduction of duties. This increase it
j may be impossible to estimate with area
■ | racy, tail on nil reason and experience it
e must be very great. I’roni 17DI to l-'tlb,

05?=* In addition to what is said in the
memorial on the subjet of the encourage
ment given to the productions ofagrieul
titre by (lie protective system, we beg
leave to make some remarks as explan
atory ofoar own views in relation to the
iddiliomd market supposed to heullord
nil fertile great staple, cotton. If there
e in reality any extension of the market,
caused hy the introduction of nmuufac
iurcs.it must ho a market sustained at
the expense of the planters themselves,
and at an expense, too which is much
greater than the additional price which
can possibly be produced for cotton.
In this respect, it bears an exact antilo
gy to the merchant >vbo pays bis pur
chasers to purchase ids goods, more
than the profit he should make on (hem ;
or may be aptly compared to the institu
tion of a standing army when die nation
decs not require one, which will be fcuro
to increase the demand for agricultural
products, but at a cost to (lie farmer
which will make him look on itasacursu
to his country
If we examine into this increase or
I, it will he found so inconsidera
ble, so inefficient in its operation, c peci
,i(jy when set olfagainst the grndu«. loss
of market in Europe, which will in all
probability ensue, that it is entirely un
worthy of the the vast efforts which
have been made to establish it - Eor be
fore the American system was carried to
the extent to which it is now pushed, our
cotton fabrics were imported from Great
ilrilain, and consumed in larger quanti
ties than (hey would have been if made in
the U. (Slates, in consequence of greater
cheapness. The greater portion of
these cotton goods were made with
American cotton ; is it not evident, then,
that if we produce these fabrics ia the
United States England will utlord a less
market than formerly, to the amount at
least, of that portion of cotton which she
manufactures for as ’■ It is dais certain
that ifall the cotton goods consumed in
the United Slates bud been made of
American cotton, (be market for cotton
goods, would, most undoubtedly have
been lessened by the establishment of do
mestic manufactures. UoHoa goods,
cheap as they now are would have been
cheaper still, if furnished us from abroad,
and, consequently, a larger quantity
would have been consumed, making the
market for the raw material more exten
sive than now.
Molar as cotton fabrics can he manu
factured and sold more cheaply in the
United Slates, independently of protec
ting duties, we do not deny that those
manufacturers afford no additional and
better market for the cotton. Hat it is
of (he effect ol the protecting system that
vve now inquire, H ull the cotton man
ufactured ia the United Mtates could he
m ami fart met I more cheaply abroad, nnd
sold more cheaply here, after paying the
cost of Iruasportalien and duties lor rev -
enue, then it is certain that the market
for cotton is injured in consequence ol
foreign manufactures by means of pro
tecting duties. Certainly all persons
whose incomes are independent ol man
ufactures by means of protecting duties,
would be able in consequence of obtain
ing them more cheaply, to purchase a .
greater quantity of cotton fabrics than
they now can. If there be a class of per
sons in the manufacturing districts, or
connected with manufactures who arc
enabled to purchase cotton fabrics which
they would not otherwise be able to pur
chase, there would be a precisely similar
class of persons connected with the En
roll an manufacturers vv bicli our increas
ed demand would call into existence.
Though the aggregate of cotton fabrics
consumed in the United States, should be
diminished by a reduction of duty, the
consuption of A meriean cotton would be
‘ increased. C ertuinly there would be an
increased demand for American cotton
roportioned to the increased American
demand for foreign manufactures. Wc
soeak not-now of the policy or patriot
•-•in of affording employment, and the
means of consuming, to foreign labor
rather than to American The inquiry
