DIALOeTJS
Between a Yankee and Southern Farmer.
Y. Good morning Mr. Planter!—I’ve
. ailed on you for the purpose of spending
an hour or ttvo in conversation upon a
iubject which is now agitating the public
mind in no common degree : I allude to
the Tariff which was proposed in Con
gress last winter, and which will probably
he decided upon the next. I understand
that you are opposed to it.
p. To besure I am opposed to it, sir ;
we planters are all opposed to it. Well
may wc he opposed to it: It will ruin us,
sir—it will ruin us.
Y. Mr. Planter, have you thought much
upon this subject?
P. Why, sir, I cannot say that 1 have
thought much upon it; but hearing the
hue and cry that has been raised about it,
and conceiving myself to be personally
concerned in any thing that would affect
the general interest of the Southern plan
ters, I have read the many speeches and
memorials, relative to the subject with
which the newspapers have of late teemed.
The reasons given there why it should be
rejected, appeared conclusive, and the re
sult of reading has been with me, as with
many others, that what is called the Wool
lens Bill, would be in its operation very
prejudicial to the welfare of the Southern
States.
Y Now, Mr. Planter, you have only
read one side. You have not seen any
attempt to refute the objections of the
tariff, and you acknowledge that though
you have read, you have not thought much
upon the subject. Let us now consider a
few of the circumstances connected with
rliis business, and then we will be better
able io judge of the motives of the men
who oppose this woollens bill, and of the
confidence that should be placed in their
unexamined arguments against it. This
tariff is what is called an Administration
measure; it is opposed by anti Administra
tion men—men, who (whatever they may
to the contrary) appear to have set
faces against all its acts done, or to be their
done. They arc prejudiced against A-
danrs, and wish to render his administra
tion unpopular, as is proved by the conti
nued gabblo they keep about the Panama
mission, and billiard tables, and they think
it impossible, with political consistency,
to oppose one of his measures, and sup
port another. Such are the men whose
writings and speeches you profess to have
read. When you read, did you examine
separately each, or did you take forgrant-
ed, unquestioned all their arguments.—
Some of them are very plausible; but,
Sir. Planter, they will not bear close in
spection. You read, and came to the
general conclusion that the tariff would
ruin you, merely because the speaker, or
writer, declared that it would. If it be
true, you ought to reject it. But if it
would, it must do so by acting in a parti
cular manner. Will you please to telline
how it would act so as to ruin you ?
P. Now, brother of New England, I
think you are rather hard upon our public
characters. I hope if they are called
anti-administration men, that they would
support an impartial, just, and salutary
measure, if one should bv any chance ori
ginate witli Adams and his party. I hope
they would, though I doubt if they will
ever be tried. But as your suggestion for
examining the arguments, on the passage of
the woollens bill is but fair and droper,
I’ll give you a few that I remember to
have seen, and sec how you can get over
them.
Y. Do so, and without noticing your
3lur upon Adams, I will show you how
weak they are
P. Well, I’ll give you them just as they
come to mind. Buchanan, of Pennsyl
vania, in a late speech, proved that if this
tariff were obtained by you manufacturers,
we should have to pay an import of 110
per cent, on some, and an enormous duty
on all woollens we buy, that cost origin
ally less than $4 per yard.
Y. Well, so we would if we got them
from England ; but we are not obliged to
get them thence. Woollen clothes may
bV procured from our own manufactories.
But how does it particularly favor the
North? If theyankees buy English wool
lens, they will have to pay the 110 per
cent., or whatever it is. They use as
much of that article as the Southerners,
and if they do not get it from England,
must from our own manufactories.—
Why will not you get it from them, it is
less trouble than to send for it from a-
broad ?
P. But is it cheaper? Consider this.
If when this tariff takes effect, what with
the original price, and what with the du
ties, a yard of English cloth cost us, (for
instance) $20, you yankee manufacturers
{you know you love money) will make the
original price of yours, $19 per yard,
and we will be compelled to give your
owe prices, because, with the restrictions '
on the foreign manufacture, it will be
cheaper than we could get it from Eng
land. Thus you see how the manufac
turer can jew us with impunity.
Y. I plainly see how it is that you, and
your brother planters have been deceived.
This is a plausible argument, but you read
it as you did the rest, without trying its
strength. This, and others like it, have
induced you to believe the whole system
of protectingduties a frightful, many head
ed monster, that would surely and speedily
eat out your substance. You shall see it
cannot stand. If it were not cheaper to
get the cloth from our own manufactories,
than to send for it from England, would
the New England be reckoned among the
non-importing States? I admit that the
manufacturers could, if the woollens bill
succeed, jew the buyer in the way you
speak of, and I’ll even confess, that I be
lieve he would at fiist use his power, (for
they do love money.y—Bttf, sir, how long
would their extortions last ? "How long
could they last? You might have to pay
the $19 pet yard for your first coat, but
before that coat is worn out, the lucrative-
ness of~the manufacturing business will
cause thousands of manufactories to start
up in every direction. Competition will
be awakened, and the quantity of the ar
ticle proportionably increased, and since
the demand for it will continue but the
same, the price must fall ; and whereas
you gain the $19 per yard for your first
coat,' your second will not cost more than
$12. If the $12 per yard were more than
its real value, and if the manufacturer
could afford to sell for less and make pro
fit, this would be perceived. Other man
ufactories will be erected, and you would
have to pay $6 per yard for your next
coat. If that were too much, the prospect
of gain would still excite competition, the
quantity of cloth would be increased, and
the demand for it not proportionably in
creasing, the price of the article must fall
still lower. Thus you see competition
will work till eventually woollen cloths
shall be sold at their real, legitimate value,
and there they will stand.
P. I grant you that manufactories will
increase in number, as indeed they must
to be able to meet the multiplied demand ;
but a few monied men will be their pro
prietors ; and they, by a secret under
standing, by which co-operation can easily
be brought about, may ask what they
please for their cloth, raise &. enforce the
acceptance of their own prices, by with
holding the article till their extortions are
complied with.
Y. Your objection is easily answered,
for what you hear is impracticable on this
account. The American manufactories
will be spread over too large an extent of
country for an “ unprincipled co >litian”
(to use a cant phrase of Mr. M’Duffie, and
others who hate Adams) to be formed, or
that it should be efficient and formidable if
it were attempted. All the New England,
and some of the middle States, will be the
seat of their manufactories. Circumstan
ces will not here, as in England, favour
concert of action ; nor will a few monied
men become the sole proprietors of the
manufactories, because our countrymen
are not yet so wealthy, but it will take the
capitals of very many to establish a suffi
cient number to supply the quantity of
cloth necessary for home consumption.
P. But we do not choose to pay such
enormous prices for six coats, that we may
get the seventh at its real worth.
Y. Now, my dear sir, recollect I prov
ed you would soon get an American coat
at its real worth. I’ll show you now if
you do so, that it is cheaper than you
could buy an English coat. The English
manufacturer cannot originally afford to
sell his cloth for less than its intrinsic va
lue ; so, since the American manufacturer
is, or will, in three or four years, (when
more skilful and extensive attention is
paid to the growing of wool,) be able to
make a yard of cloth for as little as the
English, it is evident that the American
coat is the cheaper; for the cost at the
manufactories.being equal, you must pay
for the English, in addition to the manu
factory price, the amount of duty, whate
ver it may be, and there will always be
some. Thus you see it will soon be
cheaper to rejy upon ourselves.
P. Oh, but your yankee manufacturers
ought to make their woollens at first, as
cheap as the English. We must make
our money go as far as we can. We’ll
get the cheapest cloth, no matter whence.
Charity begins at home. When our mo
ney goes from us, what need we care
where ?
F. That’s a selfish consideration : but
I can oppose to if both the patriotism you
boast to possess, and the regard to your
own interest which I know you do, and
which you ought to possess. By buying
the English manufacture, you encourage
foreign, to the prejudice of domestic indus
try. You help to swell the power and
wealth of a rival nation, and proportiona
bly lessen the power and wealth of your
own. You give your money to strangers,
and send it whence it never can return to
you. You place an ocean between it
and yourselves. By buying the Americau
article, you give an impulse tu domestic
manufacture—you render us no longer
dependent for such an essential necessary
to civilized man on a foreign nation, once
our enemy, and whose friendship now is
but co-extensive with its interest—you
enrich, and render more powerful our
common country, and I have before shown
that it will in the end be cheaper—you
giveyour money to your own countrymen,
and thus disburse it in such a manner,
that you may hope, nay, you may confi
dently expect that it will, after a while,
find its way back to your pockets, as the
blood that is sent from the heart to the
extremity of the system, flows through a
AUGUSTA, GEO. MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1827.
thousand different veins, back to the heart.
But why only should the South particularly
object ? The Northern peoule wear at
least as much woollen cloth as you. It
is colder at the North, and the yankees
will in any case be compelled to pay as
much for a coat as you of the South. For
if the coat is got from England, we will
all have to pay the same per centage, and
if it is procured from ou( own manufacto
ries, you can get it on the same terms
with ourselves, for if the manufacturer
would jew you, do you not think he would
jew us ? If he ask you the $19 per yard
for cloth, will he let me have it for $9,
merely because I was born in New Eng
land ? I guess not, yankees love money
too well for that.
P. Well, if we should send our money
to Europe, might we not. by the same
analogical reasoning you used just now,
the manufacturer be prevented from ex- 1
torting such extravagant prices from the
buyer at all, by fixing the period for the
the commencement of the operation
of the woollens bill a year forward ?
Then, in the meantimej manufactories
might be built, and the needful quantity
of cloth supplied immediately, at the pro
per value.
Y. Your suggestion is worthy of con
sideration ; for though all you wish could
not be expected from the plan, yet it
would somewhat lessen the prices at first,
and cause the time of their exceeding jus
tice to be of less duration. But the delay
you speak of would give the importing
States an opportunity of doing what would
in the end be of no advantage to them
selves, yet because it would worry the
manufacturers they would probably do.—
In the year’s interval these States would

confidently expect that it will return to | procure from England great quantities of

Y. Many circumstances will prevent its j ation of the year, when the extensive

money may, to-be-sure, eventually return
to this country in some shape or other,—
But h must of course come back to its
masters at much longer intervals : hardly
once in a man’s life time. The blood
does not circulate so soon through an ele
phant, as through a flea.
P. But the New England manufactur
ers will not only ask more for their cloth,
but it will not be of so good a quality.—
Why this is a double, intolerable imposi
tion. Now, why not leave the whole bu
siness alone? If you can make cloth as
good, and as cheap as the foreign article,
we will buy from you, but we dont want to
be forced to buy inferior cloth, at a higher
price than we might pay for the best.
F. I’ll tell you why not, directly : but
will first answer your objection as to the
quality of the cloth, by proposing a para
ble that you Southerners will understand,
and I hope, feel the force of. Would you
start a three year old, unbroke, untrained
colt, against a full grown, well trained, well
broke racer? No, that you would’nt—I
guess not. So it is with our manufacto
ries. It cannot be expected that they
should be able to contend with the long
established, mammoth English Institu
tions. The art among us is not so far
advanced as it is in England. We can
not make so good cloth ; yet how are we
to improve without this tariff? You will
not buy any but the best, and we cant
make the best right away. Improvement
must be gradual, therefore we need not
trv. It will take time, but time will per
fect us. We only want to be protected
awhile. Give eurs but a fair start with
the English manufacturer, prohibit bis
cloths for ten years, and then when our
manufactories shall have attained their
growth, you may talk of all duties on im
ported woollens, and if our manufacturers
cannot then maintain themselves against
all competition, let them fall. Try this.
May not the patriotic consideration before
urged, aud the conviction that it will
eventually be cheaper, induce you to con
sent to this tariff?
P. You talk confounded fast; but sup
pose your ten years of trial past, and your
anticipations as to the quality, quantity,
and cheapness of the American cloth un
realized, do you imagine that the manu
facturer will have the magnanimity to
consent that the duty on the foreign arti
cle shall he taken off?
Y. I do confess that I have my doubts
on that score; they would be more than
men if they did consent. But, sir, in the
case you suppose, this tariff would be so
notorious and gross an imposition on the
people of the North, South, East, and
West, that the act authorizing it must in
evitably be repealed, however strongly
the manufacturers might object. It would
be manifest oppression of the many, for
the undeniable purpose of enriching a
few. But the ten years trial will result as
I have anticipated. At any rate the ex
periment is worth making. The effect
that the full success of the manufacturing
business, would have upon our country—
the additional respect it would give our
character abroad—its important influence
upon our internal resources—the proud
consciousness of being able to support
ourselves—the wealth it would retain, and
the wealth it would draw in from foreign
countries—all come in, urging at least a
temporary protection for domestic manu
factures. Why, sir, it is emphatically an
“ American System,” (President Cooper
and others to the contrary notwithstand
ing.) Give the American manufacturer
time to be able, if ever he will be, to com
pete with his foreign rivals, and be will
succeed. Why should he not ? He is
not inferior in proper pride, in enterprise
of spirit, and inventive genius, to the
English, the yankee is'as justly celebrated
for these qualities, as f°r some others I
suppose you have at your tongue’s end.—
Besides, the United States have advanta
ges as a manufacturing nation that Eng
land cannot boast of. We have a vast
extent of country, embracing every varie
ty of climate, soil and productions. Why
should we not be able to make a proper
use of these favors of Nature ? Our earth
gives the raw materials, why should not
we, its lords, be able to work and manu
facture them as our necessities may re
quire ? You Southerners talk a great
deal of independence. Yankee,though 1
am, I’m almost ready to swear at you for
hesitating.
P. Well, I confess I begin to regard
this measure with a more favorable eye,
yet I have many more arguments against it
which, if you can answer as much to my
satisfaction as you have done these, why,
I’ll give up. But look here, could not
manufactories would be ready for opera
tion, their proprietors might (to the great
satisfaction, of the enemies of domestic
industry) shrug their shoulders, grin, and
do nothing, for if they made cloth it would
not be bought, ar.d what they had made
might rot. But the English ^cloth would
not be everlasting, and when it is gone it
must be replaced by our manufacturers,
and they enraged at the artifice, would
make them pay more than they otherwise
would have done.
