mannfaeturers and deo’tcrs ia Great Britain,
tbeobjeots of wbloh vrera,let, to promote,aad
to demonstrate th*afjvantage of, direot trad*
between this scant r y and that, in exhibited
vamplos and prices of their goods; and 2d—
lo bring home to our peopla practical exam*
plya of the wror.ge which they sailer by our
present tariff, and thus incite them to aetive
efforts for its correction.
Great aa are the benefits of direct trade
with foreign countries now, they would be
muoh greater with an equitable tariff; and I
think H not inappropriate to call attention to
the subject briefly in thia report.
Tna TAKtrr.
Under th* specious bat false pretense of
■protection to American industry,” a very
large majority of the American peonle, in
cluding the agricultural classes and many
ethare. are virtually robbed by the iastru*
lentality of their own government in tht un
equal adjustment of the revenoe lawe.-
Plansible arguments in favor of this systei
of legal plundsr are never wanting, anil al
though the application to them of the true
principles of our Constitution snd Govern
ment, haa tbs effect of a good broom amoag
cobwebs, yet the beneficiaries of the system,
like the persistent spider, renew them again
and again.
This system .of discriminating duties for
“protection” means, that the Government
shall so arrange lb* tax laws as to be the
cause of increasing tbs prices of oertain ar
ticles manufaotnred in tbs United States, so
.that the consumer is made to pay an inoreas
ed price into the pocket of the msnofattur-
«r. It means this or it mesne nothing; and
our manufacturers are not the meo to labor,
as they have done in this eause, for nothing.
The whole authority of Congress on this
subject is in the fallowing clause of Artiole
I,’ Section 8. of th* Constitulioh: “Th* Con-
sball have power, to levy and eolleot
duties, iptposte and exoiies, to pay lbs
debts and provide for the common defense
tud general welfare of the United States
buMIl duties, imposts snd excises shell bs
uniform throughout the United States.”
It requires an ntter perversion of the plain
leaning of ibis authority to convert it into
an instrument of favoritism or of injustioe te
any elass of oitiieus. It is right that our com.
meroe with foreign nations should ba taxed,
at.leasl to the extent of {mying the expenses
whieh are necessary for the protection of that
commerce -the expense of our Navy and all
that relates to our interodurs* with foteign
nations; but as revenue lo pay expenses
would be the only legitimate motive for soeh
taxation, so revenue, based upon principles
of equity and equality among oitizens,
should be the only object in the enactment
and administration of such laws.
With * strictly revenue tariff, onr manu
fasturers would have important advantages
aver their foreign competitors: Ist-r-by the
amount of tax which the foreign goods must
pay'to the Government on their introdndtlen;
2d—by the cost of freights, Insurance aad
other expenses. If we are panning any
braneh of industry which cannot succeed
against foreign competition with such ad.
vantages, it ought to be abandoned for some
other occupation, instead of taxing the peo
ple to enrich the proprietors of a losing busi-
th* kiwis substantial and useful ie every de-
par .havot.
Itr tha mtuufadurers end dealers of Great
brttAiu should think proper to act upou tkls
soliuiiatlon. they will hare adopted the best
•oe.Uu not unly of opening n new end impor
tant direot trade with the people of fhe
Southern tend Western Elates, but of ds*uu-
atraling the advantage* to both countries of
free trade, and the importance to our people

On* of th* obstructions to trade with for-.

Tbe present tariff should be repealed and

luxuries, and taxing each olars a certain per
cent, upon the value, with role reference to
needed revenue end impartial justice. 3uoh
a law oonld be adapted to tbe varying ne

To Manufacturers' of and Dealers in Goods,

Statu of the United States of America:
The undersigned is tbe ucoredited Agent ot
several important Railway Companies, whieh
together form three great lines extending
from tbe City and Port of Savannah, in th*
State ef Georgia, United States of America,

bnrg, io the State of Mississippi; Memphis,
iu th* State of Tennessee: end St. Louis, in
'the Slftt* of Missouri; and ramifying th* in*

ie to promote direct trade between thia coun
try add the Southern and Western States, by
the establishment of ft line of steamships be
tween the Ports of Liverpool and Savannah,
Georgia, and provide for tb* direot inter*
change of the productions of tbe two coum.
tries, according to their mutual interest and
desires.
' Heretofore there has been but little direct
trade between Great Britain and the South
ern and Western States, because the trade
has been hardened with heavy and unneces
sary expenses by long indireot route*, de
lays) and transfers, whioh, added to the
American tariff, has amounted almost to pro
hibition, '
Whilst trying to remedy these evils and
bring about a mors direct and mutually profi
table intercourse, we ask your aid to demon
strate to tbe people of the Southern and
Wsetarn Steles the advantages of direst
trade with you, by sending samples of your
goods, with their lowssL wholesale cash
prises, free on board ship at Liverpool, to

coupled with tb* priees, including freight
and dntieei for Whieh they may be delivered,
on cash orders. In tbe City .of Savannah.
Where it ia impr^ptleablc to send samples,,
descriptions and prices ero solicited.
If It sbonld bo-thought proper to shod sam

time^f their, arrival,wad the proceeds, -after
