OLD BEN FRANKLIN

plained.
Mr. Editor:—In your issue of Au
gust 26t.li, a writer savs that Franklin , .... ... , -
. ■ ' . - ' •> * i ,.j^ v j for carrying on that work, by which ar
ticle returns are made for purchasing
ing either linen or woollen, or spinning
or combing of wool, or working at any
manufacture of iron, further than mak
ing it into nig or bar iron. That they
also be prohibited from manufacturing
hats, stockings, or leather of any kind.
This limitation will not abridge t lie
planters of any privilege they now en
joy. On the contrary, it will turn their
industry to promoting and raising those
rough materials.
“It is hoped that this method would
allay the heat that some people have
shown for destroying the iron works on
the plantations, and pulling down all
their forges—taking away in a violent
manner their estates and properties—
preventing the husbandmen from get
ting their ploughshares, carts, and
other utensils mended; destroying tlie
manufacture of ship-building, by de
priving them of the liberty of making
Kilts, spokes, and other tilings proper

:o:-
narkable man. All that I know about
|im is traditional, .except that I see
lis name attached both to the Declara-
ton of Independence and the Const-i
ll t ion of the United States as a dele
gate from the State of Pennsylvania.
4y information about him is that he
vas born somewhere in the New Eng-
and States, and while young went in-
fco a printing office near home; and la
ter went down to Philadelphia to pur
sue the same business. After be had
become an expert at bis trade, tradi
tion says that be was the inventor of
the Franklin rod, which was attached
to the chimneys of houses to protect
them against lightning. And fuitbei-
more it is said of him that duiing the
Revolution lie was sent 011 a mission by
his Government to the Court 01 .. t.
Cloud, and that this lightning tamer
appeared before 11 is Catholic majesty,
the King of the T rench, 111 a 1
leather (buckskin) breeches.
And now, Mr. Editor I sun going
o show why it was that franklin com
plained of hard times m Ins day, and
woreleatherbreecl.es. Not having a
copv of liis biography to leler to, 1
cannot sav exactly when he was born,
but suppose he was born not tar fi om
1750 \ rather think a little befoie that
time—which, however, does not make
much difference. In 1750 one Joshua
(tee, made some recommendations to
the British Parliament, which I under
stand were formulated into law, and
was the law of force 111 the colonies up
to the time of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Hear him: .
“That manufactures 111 the American
colonies should he discouraged or pro
hibited. Great Britain, with her de
pendencies, is doubtless as well able to
subsist within it self as any nation 111
Europe We have an enterprising peo
ple, (it for all the arts of peace or war.
We have provisions in abundance, and
those of the best sort, and are able to
raise sufficient for double the numbei
of inhabitants. We have the very best
materials for clothing, and want noth
ing either for use or even toi luxui j,
but what we have at home, or.might
h;i.ve from our colonies, so that we
might make, such an intercourse of
trade among ourselves, or between us
and them, as would maintain a vast
navigation. But we ought always to
keep a watchful eye over our colonies,
to restrain then, from setting up anv
of the manufactures which aiee.iiiieil
on in Great Britain; and any siu-li at
tempts should he crushed 111 the begin-

Our colonies are much in the same

should therefore think it worthy

popish etc., bv giving them eonipetc ut
lioimties in the beginning, ami .sending
oyer judicious and skillful persons, at
the public charge, to assist am 1ins ruct
them in the most proper methods of
livina ”ement; which, in my apprehen
sion, would lay a foundation tor est ah-
lisliing the most profitable trade of a >
we have. And considering the com
manding situation of our colonies all
along the sea coast, the great conven
ience of navigable rivers m all of them,
the cheapness of land, and the easiness
of raising provisions, great numbei s ot
people would, transport themselves
thither to settle upon such lmpiove-
ments. Now, as people have been till
ed with fears that the colonies, it en
couraged to raise rough mateiials.
would set. up for themselves, a little
“If we examine into the circum
stances of the inhabitants of our plan
tations, and our own, it will appear
that not one-fourth part of their pro
duct redounds to their own profit; for,
out of all that comes here, they only
carryback clothing and other accom
modations for their families, all of
which is of the merchandise and man
ufacture of this kingdom.
“All these advantages we receive by
the plantations, besides the mortgages
on tlie planters’ estates and the high
interest they pay us, which is very con
siderable; and, therefore, very great
i care ought to he taken in regulating all
I the affairs of the colonists, that the
(planters he not put under too many
! difficulties, hut encouraged to go 011
cheerfully.
“New England, and the Northern
colonies, have not commodities and
■ r ! products enough to send us in return
for purchasing their necessary clothing,
but are under very great difficulties;
and, therefore, any ordinary sort sell
with them. Anil when they have
grown out of fashion with us,^ they are
new-fashioned enough there.”
Mr. Editor, is that not very disgust
ing language to American ears? Just
think of it! Tantalizing our Northern
colonies for not having commodities and
products enough to send to England in
return for purchasing their necessary
clothing, and were under very great
difficulties—so much so, that they were
ready and willing to take any ordinary
sort—even their cast-off, out-of-fashion
old clothes.
Now, Mr. Editor, that is a true pic
ture of the condition that American free
traders and English Cohden Clubs
would place the whole of the l mted
States in to-day. Is it any wonder
that old Ben Franklin complained of
iuird times and scarcity of money. I
rather suspect that he even had to
wear some of the old, cast-off clothes
of some of the aristocrats of England,
and for fear of having them recognized
on his mission to France lie put on a
pair of leather breeches and other
clothes to match. This was the condi
tion of this country, then, under the
policy of our making nothing but
rough, raw materials and sending them
to England to he manufactured for us,
and we receiving in return, as Mr. Gee
says, only one-fourth of what we sent
them. Is it any wonder that the old
lightning-tamer complained of hard
times and 110 money? Free trade
would put us hack in that same condi
tion that is, absolute dependence on
Great Britain. If it was the interest
of Great Britain then to have 110 facto
ries over here, is it to her interest to
have them now? Nay, Mr. Editor.
The object of the Cohden Clubot Lon
don is to produce the very same state
of affairs t hat then existed, as far as
possible, and place us in that same, de
pendent condition. Is it not moustious
that we have in America men high 111
political circles who are members of
that Cohden Club, and doing their best
to accomplish the objectr ot the club—-
t hat is, to establish free trade in tlie L lil
ted States and make us liewe.rs of wood
and drawers of water for British capi
talists and manufacturers? Wore I a
betting man L could win money in bet
ting that there are members of the
present Congress who belong to the
Cohden Club, and ex-members too. 1
think I could spot some newspapers
who are in the employ and pay ot that
same Cohden club. ,
Mr. Gee seemed to emphasize the
poverty of the Northern colonies as it
existed under the British colonial poli
cy, and could auglit else be expect
ed of a section that was not allowed to
manufacture anything and had to de
pend alone on agricultural production,
to be made out of a sterile soil and a
very harsh climate?
AVe will now look at the Northern
colonies, (now independent and sover
eign Mates,) under the operations ot
our protective policy. Aon may take
