will therefor* hate (he same influence
upon prices, ns the plenty or scarcity of
money. An enhancement of home com
modities, by the abundaneb of foreign
commodities or currency brought to
purchase them, is both a reimbursement
lor the consumption of these foreign
commodities, and also furnishes a fund
for revenue ; whereas the expulsion of
this currency diminishes the price of
home commodities, deprives the people
of many enjoyments arising from con-
umption, and lessens the means for the
payment of taxes.
The enjoyments of consumption are
the food of industry ; diminish them, and
•t flags; leave them free, and it is invi
gorated ; and this invigoration is a re
source so ample for meeting the expense
of an increased consumption, that every
nation possessing it, will have the advan
tage in commercial competitions over
those which do not. In struggles for
wealth, industry will gain the victory ;
and a relaxation of its sinews, is like car
rying on a war without ammunition.
True economy consists in a free em
ployment of their own capital by occu
pations, as the best mode of making it
productive ; false economy, in legislative
coercions of capital into other channels,
because it cannot he employed with the
same skill in new, as in habitual occupa
tions. Drive a merchant to the plough,
or a ploughman to the counting house,
and the unskilfulness of both will cause
mutual sloth, vexation and misfortune ;
ind by diminishing a resource to meet,
the expense of consumption, contained
in th* knowledge and skill of habitual"
occupations, dimmish also the public
prosperity.
Legal dislocations of capital, besides
producing the losses sustained by driving
individuals from one occupation to ano
ther, are moreover universally the mode
resorted to for imposing burdens on a
great majority of nations, to foster some'
exclusive interest. They constitute an
elemosynary system for forcing the poor
to give alms to the rich ; and in every
form arc the elements by which free go
vernments arc made oppressive.
The mercantile, naval, and agricultur
al occupations, arc all discouraged by
restrictions upon commerce, and must
dwindle or flourish in conjunction. The
agricultural supplies the basis of com
merce ; the mercantile imports the com
modifies which increase the value of
those for exportation ; and both supply
the freights aud the wages which nurture
the naval occupation, rear seamen, and
provide the means lor maritime defence.
In the united prosperity of these occu
pations consists national prosperity itself;
and their free efforts are an ample equi
valent for the expense of consumption.
Re-exportations ought not to be forgot
ten. They extend commerce, increase
seamen & shipping, and produce a mer
enntile profit. Single towns have often
acquired opulence by being depots of
foreign manufactures, and the more pros
perous this branch of commerce is, the
more the capital of every community is
augmented. Mercantile intelligence,pro
filing by commercial fluctuations and
circumstances, frequently derives profit
from circuitous exchanges, and some
times can undersell the fabricators them
selves. It is insufficient to urge, that
prohibitory or protecting duties will not
destroy this branch of our commerce
because they are not paid on re-export
ed commodities. The fact is, that no
considerable surplus of these commodi
ties are ever imported, except from the
inducement of a double market; that
they are invited by a freedom of trade
and repelled by local restrictions ; and
that the freer the port, the more exten
sive and profitable this branch of com
rnerce will become
A free commerce is like a free govern
ment. Either, isolated amidst coniincr
cial restrictions or political oppressions
flourishes beyond its neighbours by tor
bearing to imitate their errors. The
llanse Towns at one period almost ab
sorbed the trade and wealth of Europe
because commerce was every where
else subjected to prohibitions and res
trictions.
From all these sources of national
wealth, the protecting duty system make
deductions which fall chiefly upon the
poor, because the coarse and necessary
articles of domestic manufacture, arc
consumed principally by them. But it
is said that the tax thus inflicted upon
the poor of all other occupations, goes
to the relief of poor manufacturers. The
fact would not be a justification of the
poliev ; but even that is denied. The.
price* of labour is regulated by circum
stances which bounties cannot control.—
If a bounty was given to seamen naviga
ling mercantile vessels, their employers
would compute the bounty as a portion
of the wages, and continue to regulate
them by a comparison with the price of
labour in other occupntions. In like
manner, a bounty to the workmen
navigators of manufactories, must settle
in the pockets of their employers, even
if it was paid to the workmen themselves;
but when it is attached to the goods,
sold bv their employers, the chance of
the workmen to receive nny portion of

THE MEMORIAL
Of the Merchants, Agriculturists and others, of
the Town of Fredericksburg and adjacent
Country,
RESPECTFULLY SHEWgTII
That being convinced that the Pro
tecting Duty System, has been and would
continue to be pernicious to the United
States, your Memorialists respectfully
submit to the consideration of your Ho
norable Body, the following observations
in relation to it
Whether a freedom of exchanges or
commercial restrictions, will most ad
vance the prosperity of nations ; wheth
er an erroneous policy by one nation,
requires an erroneous policy by another;
whether economy or avarice suggests the
idea of transferring capital from many
occupations, to one ; whether justice de
eides th.it a portion of the labour of the
poor, ought to Vie appropriated by laws
to the use of the rich ; whether the lim
ited powers over persons and properly
delegated to the federal government,
embrace the internal power of regulat
ing the interests of manufacturers and
agriculturists ; and whether such a con
struction of the federal constitution would
not include an internal power over all
occupations, a»d subvert all the restric
tions designed to establish a division of
-powers between Qie federal and state go
vernments ; are <uestions too extensive'
for the limits of t memorial, but suffi
ciently important to be suggested to the
wisdom of Congress.
The present tarifl was modelled by
the mingled consideiationw of raising
revenue, and eucourag.ng manufactures.
The revenue it produces, goes into the
public treasury ; and the bounties it be
stows, into the pockets of capitalist ma
nufacturers. Either as public revenue
or private bounties, it is a tax upon the
national ability. The Congress which
imposed the tax, undoubtedly estimated
this ability ; hut since it was imposed,
one half of the national ability to pay
taxes has been destroyed by the doubled
value of money, and a reduction to the
same amount in the value of products
and property. Therefore the burden
of taxation has been doubled by circum
stances without the agency of legislation,
and if one half the duties were taken off,
it wo*rld require the profits of as much
capital to pay the other half, as sufficed
to pay the whole when the duties were
inflicted. One effect of this diminution
in the ability to pay, must he a diminu
tion of revenue ; because if the whole
duty is continued, it will compel the
payers to retrench their consumption
and the value of the bounties bestowed
upon manufacturers, being doubled by
the doubled value of money, they would
under the presertt tarifl’receive a pecu
niary encouragement worth twice as
much, as that which was originally be
stowed. If, therefore, one half of the
duties imposed by the existing tariff,
were taken off, the other half would con
stitute the same real burden upon the
nation, and the same real bounty to ma
nufacturers, intended to be established
by the representatives of the people
To this eventual augmentation ot tax
ation, without the concurrence of Con
gress, the public rfiltrcss is owing in a
exchanges, consumable capital can never
be increased ; but it must be diminished
for the same reasons that an individual,
who should only use what he fabricates,
ould possess less consumable capital,
than if he avails himself of beneficial ex
changes. Exchanges consist of consuma
ble articles. Its consumption destroys
what wt£ receive, it destroys also what
we pay. No permanent capita) is pro
duced either by commerce or manufac
tures, except by causing an improvement
of land and buildings. Neither com
merce nor manufacturing can create and
embalm a capital against consumption.—
Wealth in consumable capital is consti
tuted by the plenty of commodities ; po-
erty, by their scarcity. Both mer
chants and capitalists offer to supply the
community with consumable capital.—
Which is best, a small annual consumable
capital or a largo one ? The large one
an feed all our wants, encourage indus
try in all its branches, enhance nil our
commodities, and spare annually a sur
plus to meet the expenses of govern
ment. The small consumable capital can
feed but a few of our wants, discourages
industry in all its branches but one, de
preciates all our commodities, and can
pare nothing for government. By sup
posing that the little consumable capital
could utterly exclude the great one, and
contemplating the protecting duty poli
cy in its utmost success, exactly ns we
have fqlt it occasionally in the cases of,
wars and embargoes, we may calculate
its gradations. A large consumable ca-
itnl is so essentially connected with na
tional wealth, that governments, where
ver it exists, may afford to be extrava
gant ; but wherever the small one only
exists, which manufactures without com
merce can produce, they must he frugal.
The difference lies between making a
mercantile profit by foreign exchanges,
and making no such profit. A frugal go
vernment, united with a free commerce,
by leaving to the nation that portion of
consumable capital, which oppressive
governments take from it to pamper ex
clusive privileges, would probably pur
sue the most effectual policy for advanc
ing the wealth, comfort and happiness of
the people. A great annual consumable
capital is so universally agreed to be a-
mong the good tilings of this world, that
it is the very thing which nil exclusive
interests are in pursuit of. The pro
tecting duty system proposes to deprive
the community of a great mass of this
species of wealth, the only kind really
valuable to man ; and to give it in return
a supply of the same species, of an infe
rior amount, saddled with si tax for the
benefit of a few rich men, and attended
with a necessity of resorting to some
new mode of taxation for the support of
government.
It hns been fairly tried, by a gradual
progress for thirty years ; and having in
creased public expenses, exhausted the
treasury in time of peace, contributed
to a ruinous reduction in the prices of
our commodities, and caused, in no small
degree, the general distress another
dose of the drug which has produced
such consummations, is proposed. Might
it not be wiser to give a short trial to the
rival policy, by repealing the present ta
riff, imposing duties exclusively with an
eye to revenue, and re-establishing the
freedom of commerce ; than to perse
vere any longer ? If one half the duties
were taken off, it is probable that the
revenue would not be diminished, as
consumable capital might be doubled,
and increase of value by an increase of
currency brought to purchase our com
modities, might recover and establish the
fact, that the greater are our comforts
and enjoyments, the easier we can pay
our taxes.
VVft think it a question between the
nourishment of a monopoly by a tax to
enrich the rich; and the nourishment of
all useful occupations, by equal lawn ;
in which a very few individuals occupy
one interest, and all the rest ofthe com
munity, with the government itself, ano
ther ; and therefore we respectfully sub
mit these remarks to the wisdom of Con
gress, with a conviction that the subject
will receive the attention which its im
portance requires, and that the distress
es under which we arc laboring will not
be aggravated.
And your memorialists, as in duty
bound, will ever pray, Ac.
In the senate the memorial was laid on
•he table till the 1st Jan. 1821, by a ma
jority of 11 to 5. Two of the members
spread their reasons upon the journals
fur treating it thus contemptuously. A-
mong other things they remarked—
“ The undersigned cannot but recollect, anil
that too, with Ilia most unfeigned regret, that
one of the distinguished characters who appears
to have been actively zealous in producing tho
above memorial, but a few dnys since, at the
seat of government, anil in the prosetico of
some members of the legislature, in the most
indecorous manner, stated, that nny member
who voted for it, ironld perjure, himself; and
that if the lain did pass, twclec honest jurymen up
on oath would eonvirt than of perjury tcho voted
for the measure. Tho above statement, taken in
eonnection with the memorial, the undersigned
think is a direct and unwarrantable attack up
on (lie dignity of this bouse, ami n strong per
sonal implication of perjury against those mem
bers who believe tt their duty to vote for the
passage of the. law."
We notice these things, not from any
disposition to detract from the lame of
general Jackson ; but because we think
it one of the most solemn duties of the
press, and of every friend to free govern
ment, to watch, expose, and resist every
tendency to the encroachment of the mi
litary on the civil power and the rights
ofthe people. It is the greatest source
of danger in a republican government;
liberty, ns well as humanity, has suffered
more in all countries from the profession
of arms, than from nny other quarter.—
The sword is the usual instrument, by
which despotic governments have been
established ; it may he true iu general,
that the people are first prepared for it
by anarchy or corruption ; but this does
not render it the less necessary, to guard
against an agent of tyranny, which is ev
er ready to take advantage of all favora
ble circumstances. Human nature is so
constituted, that the people have a most
unreasonable admiration and inordinate
gratitude for military services—they are
ever prone to admit the claims, and ac
quiesce in the usurpations of a fqvoritc
hern. It is therefore important that the
press should constantly combat this dan
gerous tendency of public sentiment, and
expose with indignant reprobation eve
ry abuse practised by the military.
There is at present no ii inger of an
ambitious general seizing the reins of go
vernment ; but the increase of popula
lion, and the progress of luxury and
faction, will bring this country-to a con
•lition, in which such a danger will he
imminent ; and the best way to guard a
gainst it will be, to cherish and render
habitual in the minds of the people, a
scrupulous unrelenting jealously of the
military power. Let no person invested
with it presume to donate from the strict
line of his duty, or the most respectful
and rigid subordination to the civil au
thority.

The ardent, dictatorial disposition of
this distinguished military chieftain, (ob

has lately been displayed towards the le

offensive to some of its members. His

renders it a matter of much delicacy, if
not absolutely improper, for him to inter

seems, he was violenlly\>pposed to the

with his name at the head ofthe signers,

will not hold good. We confess we

houfil keep Mr. Cobb from his seat; we
have watched his political conduct close

frank and honorably independent kind,
which renders him useful to thevalion as
