Revival of live African Slave Trade—
So. i.
General Consideration of Specific Interest
In reasoning upon a class of related
facts, the true method of logic requires
us to ascertain some general law, run
ning through each of the facts, which
law 6hall be as applicable in its princi
ple, to one of those facts as to another.
And, if it be the purpose of the reason
er to produce conviction, the soundness
of the general law must first be assent
ed R> by those to be convinced, before
he proceeds to examine the separate
facts. The general principle then be
comes an admitted standard by which
to test the correctness of the conclu
sions reached in the investigation of the
single facts ; coincidence with the lead
ing rule being evidence of correctness ;
want of coincidence being evidence of
error.
The general law, which we have laid
down in the discussion of this subject,
and which will hardly be rejected by
any mind is, that the productive labor
of a country is to be taken as the exact
measure of that country’s wealth ; that
so long as the productive labor increases,
so long the collective wealth will in
crease ; that, if the collective wealth
increases more rapidly than the popula
tion, among whom that wealth is to be
divided, there will be an increase of the
average individual wealth.
Now, we shall enlarge the wealth of
the slave-lioldiug States by enlarging
the amount of slave labor, through im
portation from Africa. Os course, if
there be no change from the present
method of dividing wealth in the
South, then there will be no change in
the relative wealth of Southern men,
each man’s present wealth being aug
mented in the same ratio as his neigh
bor's, We propose hut one change,
namely, the removal of the present re
strictions upon the African Slave Trade.
It is to be observed, that no one can as
sert that our scheme will work injury
to all classes and to all interests, for that
assertion would be to deny our genera!
law. To those who make this denial,
we shall have nothing to say, until
they have succeeded in proving that,
when capital controls a large amount of
productive labor, its returns of profit
are not so great as when the labor is
scarce, and, therefore, high-priced.
Now, whoever admits our leading
law, but objects to our plan, that while
it might benefit one class, it would in
jure another —he is under obligation to
show, that the one change which we
propose, would be, in reality, a change
from the mode of division which now ,
obtains in the distribution of wealth.
To.sbow this, many cunning devices are ,
resorted to. All sorts of subterfuges •
appear. One objector declares that men ,
will buy what is not profitable to them.
Another ignores the doctrine, that, on an
average, demand regulates supply. A
third says, it is not true that capita]
seeks the most profitable investment ;
he insists, that capital would apply the
labor, which it controls, in a pursuit
which could not yield as large a profit
as some other. In short, it is out of
our power, as it is useless to enumerate
ai! the absurdities into which men fall
when, assuming a given thing to be
true, they attempt to prove its truth
without first knowing whether or not
the evidence is sufficient to the proof.
When the supply is limited, an in
creased demand produces an advance
in price. The resources of the South
have a limit, therefore increase of la
bor will raise the price of those resour
ces and, as labor gives value, an addi
tion of the former would create an ad
dition to the latter. Thus we see that
the lands of the South will become
more valuable, in proportion, as labor
becomes more plenty. This will be true
of everything in, on and about the :
land, no matter what the kind of land, i
Additional labor would enhance the
worth of tillable land, of the grazing, 1
of the building, of the mining, of the
timber land. We need not amplify
this branch of the argument. In
this result, the land holder will find
himself enriched. This conclusion tal
lies with our general law, and is correct
therefore.
Again, in this region of the South,
people are accustomed to look at cotton
until they can see nothing else. They
assume certain things, as fixed in regard
to that staple, and try to make every
thing conform to their ideas of cotton i
interest. The cotton objector assumes i
that the price of cotton would go down, -
and, therefore, the planter would lose. -
His position is, tiiat diminishing the
price of cotton, will diminish the profit :
on its production. Not one particle of '
doubt, that the objector who lives in *
the tobacco region, argues in the same 1
way about tobacco ; so argues the sugar
objector, and so he of rice, and he of
wheat, and he of hemp, and he of mules,
and he of hogs; and so cry all the inter
ests, railroad, iron, coal and everything
else. Now, if either argues correctly,
And all argue in the same way as lie.
is it not perfectly plain that, remove
the restrictions as much as Wc may. no
enr would ever purchase the negroes,
And then no harm would come to any-
body ? And, furthermore, if everbody
argues correctly in this way, as all do if
one does, then all deny our genera! law,
and therefore stultify themselves by de
nying collectively, what each one had
before admitted.
“But,” says the cotton planter, “I
want you to show me how 1 am to
have my own wealth increased, for it is
1 not enough to move me to action that
> [am not to be harmed.” Very well,
sir, we will do that too, or, if we fail, you
i may vote against our proposition, when
the question comes to the ballot-box.
And just the argument wo are going
to make to you, we will make to the
i Virginia tobacco grower, and the Ken
tucky mule grower, and to every other;
producer.
Now, sir, whatever is safe to say or
. assume of you, is safe to say or assume j
of ail your brother cotton planters, and;
vice versa; {or your interest is theirs, as
■ theirs is yours. If you purchase at all,
you will have to purchase an additional
supply of labor, with the capital that
you already have; so will they. Ifi
you assume that they will put the ne
groes which they may purchase in the
cotton field, so will you. Then, if, asj
you say, the result is that you iosei
profit, all will lose. And, therefore,!
the assumption which you may make ]
[ amounts to this: that you and your
brethren will put an additional amount
. of capital into a business at the very j
! moment when it is ceasing to lie profita
. ble ! Wehaveonlytosaythatifyouand|
your brethren act in that manner, you
are a more foolish set of men than we I
have taken you to be. On the contra
ry we take you to be men of sense, and
this is what we think will he the result, j
either:
Ist. Everybody, including yourself, I
. will refuse to purchase any negroes, in
. -which case everybody will refuse to do!
what everybody admits it is for every
body’s interest to do, and therefore the!
whole country will fail to be benefitted ;
not because it could not be benefitted,
but because it refused to be benefit-!
ted! or,
2d. You and your brethren would
buy no negroes, while persons engaged
in other departments of industry, would j
purchase them. In that case, as your
class would have no more force in the
field than they now have, cotton would
not.go down in price, because you could
raisc no more than you now do. You!
would receive for your crop as much
money as you now receive, but, accor- j
ding to your own assumption, the price j
having been augmented in other depart-;
ruents, the products of its labor would |
Jgo down, and you could buy what you
now do, for less money than you now
pay. You would then have more mo
ney left than you now have, and there- ,
fore would be growing richer, which is ,
our theory—or,
3d. You and your bretheren will pur-1 j
chase some more negroes. In this case j j
you will put no more negroes in thej (
cotton field tliau will return you a prof- j
it upon their labor. The price of cot- i
ton will not then go down so as to be .
unprofitable to you. You will still con- j
tinue to raise a supply of cotton corrcs-1
ponding to the demand, and no more, j
But you will put your extra hands into
some other field of labor, and will pro
duce what you now have to buy. You
will still sell your cotton at as great a
profit as now, and will not have
to purchase as much as you now do.—
You will then accumulate money, or
something that will bring you money J
when you choose to exchange it. Thus,
you will be growing richer, which tal
lies, again, with our general law, and
is therefore correct: you will grow rich
er whether you purchase negroes or not,
provided somebody purchases them.
As we said before, we can reason ini
this way to any interest, and as our:
conclusions would thus always coincide j
with our general law, where is our error?
If you cannot find it. come to our side, i

as to give relief the first time taken, and if it
I does to others as it has to us, half a bottle will j
be all that is needed. We know of nothing we i
