Messrs. Editors, —The editor of the
Chronicle Ijas answered my inquiries just
as I expected—that is, he has not answer
ed them at all. It is a matter of little
consequence, what the price of cotton
goods were three or four years since,
when the raw material, provisions, and
every element in the production of manu
factures were more than 50 per cent,
higher than they are now. It is of some
consequence, however, to know whether
the protected articles have on an average
risen under the tariff, since it had time to
operate. The editor also sought an issue
witii “some free trader” on the difference |
in the cost of manufactures “abroad,” ;
and at the north. But from both these is- |
sues he now prudently shrinks. Be it so. i
1 . J
1 shall not again trouble the public or ;
myself with the editor or his facts. For- |
tunately the people are not dependent on
the editor or myself either for the |
“facts.” My facts were obtained hv a *
compa risen of original prices current, from \
mi/ oirn purchases, and from whig merchants •
of this ci.li/. My object is now to give a
better authority than either of us. Mr.
Gosnell, I presume, is known to some of
the merchants of Augusta, and his cir
cumstantial statement for accuracy defies
contradiction. The speech of Mr. We- j
thered, the manufacturer , has been very j
unceremoniously pronounced at. home, “a |
tissue of lies from beginning to end.” This j
was a sufficient recommendation oi that i
speech with the Chronicle, to republish i
the speech here with high commendation. ;
Let us sec what one of Mr. Welhered’s |
neighbors says of the matter.* You would, I
I have no doubt, render your readers an |
acceptable service by republishing the 1
entire article from the Baltimore Repub- ]
lican, with the letter of Messrs. Gosnell ;
t
& Richardson at full length.
( From the Baltimore Republican. ]
LET THE FARMER READ THIS.
In one of his speeches (page 155, vol. 1) i
Mr. Clay says:
“Agriculture wants but little or no pro
tection against the regulations of foreign powers.’’
Adopting this doctrine, his whig follow
ers have concentrated their protection in
favor of the manufacturing interests of i
New England, the proprietors of w hose
cotton and wool mills arc now, under the
tariff of 1842, amassing the most princely
fortunes. Now, it is clear that some one
must pay for all this: and it is just as clear |
that, as the tariff alfects the coarser arti- j
clcs principally, the agriculural interest
is that which sutlers the most largely by
the operation of this high protective sys- j
tern of the whigs. Theory does very well |
in its place, but the practical effect is that i
which the farmer can best understand.—
When he is called upon to pay at the pre- I
sent time some G 5 cents a yard for cassi- j
net to make pantaloons for himself and i
boys, and bears no mind that this is one j
of the articles “protected” by Mr. Clay i
attd liis party, and for which he hail only :
to pay 35 cents a yard in 1842 without j
this “protection,” he can well comprehend
how it is that he is taxed 30 cents a yard
(the difference between the prices of the
two years) for the benefit of northern
manufacturers. This is the way that
“protective tariffs” act! The manufac
turer grows rich, and the consumer,
through act of Congress, is made to pay
for it!
Mr. Polk's doctrine is a little ditferent
from this. He adopts the opinion that the
“blessings of government, like the dews
of Heaven, should fall upon all alike"—
the farmer, the mechanic, the manufac
tures, the merchant. Hear his language:
“ In mv judgment it is the duty of the government,
to extend, as far as may be practicable to do so. by
its revenue laws, and all other means within its
power, fair and just protection to all the great in
terests of the whole L'uion, embracing agricul
ture, manufactures, the mechanic arts, commerce,
and navigation.”
Now, which of these doctrines does the
farmer like best? While his pocket af
fords him the strongest of all common
sense arguments, will he submit his judg
ment to that cf Mr. Clay, that - agricul
ture wants little or no protection," and that
it is all right to protect the manufacturer?
Well, if be prefers ]»aying a tax of 3D
c nts a yard on his cassinet, in order to
carry out the operation of the whig princi
ple of special protection, it certainly is his
own affair, but don't let him complain if
he soon finds himself, with the present
prices of the produce of his farm, scarcely
in a condition to get himself even a pair
of pantaloons.
We hardly need remind our agricultu
ral friends of the prices of their produce.
We suspect that they have made another
discovery that, as the prices of cotton and
woollen goods have run up, the prices of
produce have run down. This state of
things was predicted during the discussion
<- # * O
of this tariff of 1842. The prediction was
based upon what has been the fact in the
history of all our tariffs. Now, let us
look at the grain market. The Baltimore
“American” is the principal whig organ,
a td its “prices’ current” are made up ;
vtv’t care, and may alwaj's he relied on. ;
lit its last weekly list we find that the
price of
Wheat (prime reds) was 80 to 85 cents
“ (good) 70 to 80 cents
Corn (yellow) 40 to 42 cents
“ (white) 40 to 41 cents
i Rye, 52 cents ■
Oats, 21 to 22 cents ;
Since these prices were made up, seve- !
ral cargoes of corn have been sent back j
to the Eastern Shore from Baltimore, the
factors being only able to obtain 38 cents i
for it? The prospect too is, as we are in- !
formed by a factor, that wheat will run j
down to 70 for prime reds, if not even
lower—say 05 cents. Now, it just strikes j
us to make a practical illustration, for the
better understanding of all we have been
saying. In the letter from the Hon. Elias
Brown, given below', he says that he sold
] his crop of 1841, (before the tariff.) for i
' from §1,25 to §1,45. For one bushel of
: wheat at that time, then, he could have ob
| tamed three and a half (31) yards of cas
] sinet, at 35 cents a yard. Well, we find
now that the tariff lias run up the price of
this very cloth, say to 05 cents a yard;
and his wheat has run down say to 70
cents a bushel; and for his 31 yards of
the very same cloth he lias to pay now
three bushels of his wheat. In plain En
glish—he has to give tiro bushels of wheat
in the way of “protection” to the northern
manufacturer! This is the practical re- i
suit of the whig doctrine of Mr. Clay, I
which Mr. Pratt, the whig candidate for ;
Governor, is preaching throughout the |
Slate.
How, in the name of common sense, i
the farmer can sustain this system of im
poverishing himself for the benefit of a ;
comparatively few manufacturing pro
prietors is more than we understand. If
he would look at the thing in its proper
and practical light, we are sure that the
| most ingenious w hig sophistry could no
longer deceive him. When the doctrine
of Mr, Clay is brought home to the agri-
I culturist, we are sure that it would open
I his eyes to the oppression of this system
of special protection. That we are right
‘ in such a conclusion, is well shown by the
1 following incident, the substance of w hich
: is of actual occurrence.
A whig farmer, of Baltimore county, |
: had occasion recently to purchase in the i
city a pair of trace chains. He was
: charged $1 12} for an article for which
I he had previously paid to the same store
keeper, we believe, but 87}. He was
j startled at the advance of price, the rea
son for which was given in the high pro
tective tariff. He must have the chains
and therefore he had to pay the increased
price. So laying down 87} cents, he said
: there Mr. is w hat I pay for the
chains, and there (putting down a 25 cent
piece) is the tax 1 am made to pay for be
ing a whig. lam a whig no longer!
That twenty-five cents w as the best sort
: of argument for overthrowing that absurd,
i insane, idiotic doctrine of Mr, Wcthercd
j and other whigs, that “high duties make j
j low prices" —an assertion only equalled
| in its silliness by another whig conclusion
j during the shin-plaster, bank-suspension j
| era, viz: that '"the banks arc always the ■.
i strongest when they have the least specie ;
jin their vaults." These whig leaders
j certainly deserve monuments in honor of :
these tw'o great discoveries. That the
brains that could conceive such absurdi
ties should. at least, be preserved in the
patent office, no sane man will doubt.
Now, we ask our agricultural friends
carefully to road the following correspond
ence. The letter of Messrs. Gosnell and
Richardson defies contradiction. In Bal
timore no merchant dares hazard the ,
statement. The gentlemen are business
men of the first abilities, both as to know
ledge of goods and a successful manage
ment of their concerns. Again, then, we
say—READ! Ponder the subject reel I,
agriculturists, as you value a just return
for your labor, and as your true interests
demands.
Carroll County, July 25, 1844.
Mr. Parke—Sir: I applied to L. W,
Gosnell, Esq., a highly respectable whole
sale merchant of the city ot Baltimore,
some two weeks since, for a statement from
his books show ing tite prices he paid the
manufacturer, from the passage of the ex
isting tariff law' (July 1842) up to the pre
sent time, for such articles in his line of
business as are consumed by the farmer,
mechanic, and laboring portion of the
community.
He has kindly furnished me with the
enclosed statement, signed by himself and
Beale H. Richardson, Esq., also a mer-

chant of high standing in Baltimore. —
This statement speaks for itself; and I
send it to you with a request that you pub
lish it, with this note, in your next paper.
Baltimore, 13th July. 1844.
lion. Elias Brown —Bear Sir: I an
swer to your inquiries in relation to the
I prices of coarse woollen and cotton goods
for the years 184*2, 1843, and 1844; we
i deem it necessary only to give you the
prices of a few prominent items which ou
ter into general consumption by the far
mers and working classes, to enable you
to form a correct judgment upon the sub
ject.
We shall first take the article of flan
nels, and will quote the fabrics of tbe
Salisbury manufacturing company. This
t is a company with a heavy capital, and '
whose flannels never reached so low a
point of depression in prices as the fabrics |
{of other establishments. This we know i
from the reason that in 1842, when coarse 1
good# reached about their 7 oiccst point in '
prices, we did not purchase the Salisbury
flannels because we could purchase others
at lower rates; for instance, the Salisbury i
scarlet, Xo. 12, twenty-siz inches, were |
: held at 18 cents per yard. We bought j
; an equally good article at KU cents, and
a much better at 18 cents. We take the
| Salisbury factory, however, because
| their flannels are regularly made, and
j numbered with so much accuracy and
■ uniformity tiiat the trade can purchase
| them without examination; because the
| number and width indicate the value with '
| as much accuracy as the size and number |
of cut nails indicate their value, which is I
not the case with other flannels generally, i
We therefore quote as follows:
; For red and scarlet flannels of the Salisbury facto
ry for 1842, No. 12, 26 inches, 18 cents.
1843, “ “ 24
1844, “ “ 30 “
The next item we shall notice is Glas- |
| gow jean, a coarse twilled article of wool |
i and cotton, for winter pantaloons, § yard ;
j wide. We paid in 1842, 14 cents; in \
| 1843, 17 cents; the price now is 20 cts. i
| per yard, and selling rapidly. The quali-
I ty of this article, it may be said, varies,
j but the quotations are of tlio identical same
i quality of goods, manufactured by the :
; same factory, and sold by the same com- !
i mission house for the same quality, and I
| purchased by ourselves as such.
The next shall notice is coarse i
, cassinots. An article called “Sheep’s !
| Grey,” manufactured of South American i
' wool in its natural colors we bought in
1842 at 25 cents; in 1843 at 35 cents; j
; and is now held and selling at 47| cents, i
! A common mixed cassiuct of a fine* trx- |
turc, but lighter fabric than the “Sheep’s
Grey,’" well known to the trade, hut the
name not now recollected, sold in 1842 at
27 cents, in 1843 at 31 to 32-£ cents; it
is now held at 47$ cents; and the agent
informed us to-day that the price will cer
tainly advance to 50 cents when the fall
trade opens.
A still finer article of mixed cassinct,
manufactured by the Maverick company,
we bought in 1842 at 524 cents: in 1843
at 02 g cents; the same article is now held
i at 75 cents, and at that price is consider-
I cd the cheapest in the market.
The advance in common cotton goods is
nearly or quite as great in proportion as
in coarse woollens. For instance, the
very lowest price and commonest article
of prints, fugitive colors, we bought in
1842 at 3:| cents to 4; in 1843 we paid
from 4f to they are now worth from 5|
to 65 cents.
It must be remembered that the tabic
presents only the prices paid to the manu
facturer by the package or large quanti
ty. The jobbing merchants (as we are
. called) must have its profits of 10 per I
I cent, on those prices, when he sells to the
country merchants by the piece. The i
country merchants must have his profit of
from 25 to 30 per cent, upon the price lie
pays when he sells to his customers by 1
1 the yard. Take then the articles of fian
i nel, Glasgow jean, and cassinct, and add
: the jobber’s profit, and the retailer’s pro- \
fit to the separate prices of 1842, 1843, I
and 1844. and make the result:
Flannels with the jobber’s and retail
er's profits added in 1842, 25cts. j

We will now show you the difference
to the consumer between the two extreme
prices of 1842 and 1844.
\\ c will suppose that a laboring man
bought himself 3 yards ffannncl for a
shirt, and 3 yards of sheep’s grey cassi
uet for a pair of pantaloons in 1842: his ;
account would stand thus:
3 yds flannel at 25 cents per yard, 75 cts.
3 “ sheep’s grey cassinct at 35 cts., $1 05
Total. $1 8J
Xow suppose the very same man pur
chases the same articles at the present
(1844) prices: his account will stand thus:
3 yds. flannel at 42 cts., $1 26
3 “ sheep’s grey cassinet at 65, 1 95
Total. 03 21
Making a difference against the labor
ing man. since 1542, in a single pattern
for a coarse flannel shirt and a pair of
pantaloons of the very coarsest cassinct,
of one dollar and forty-one cents, or near
ly eighty percent, advance; when, at the
«ame time, tho man who wears tho verv
fit -si broadcloths and casshneres does not
, pa one single farthing advance upon his
cl- hing since 1842. The same advance
of 80 per cent, on a yard of cloth at 85
would bring it up to $9 per yard.
V e have made up this statement w ith
gr.gat care, from an examination of our
uw i purchases, and from other undoubted
sou >ces; but with one or two exceptions,
the statement is taken from our own in
vok.es. You may therefore rely with

ed is 81 06}, which was for seed wheat;

This table will give you a pretty cor- |
rect idea ol the advance of the prices of j
| common woollen and cotton goods gener- !
i ally', since 1842. Medium qualities have I
I not advanced so much as the coarse; i
while the very fine fabrics, both of wool i
and cotton, have not advanced at all ! In
other words, as the quality of goods ad
vances from the very common to the very i
fine, the advance in prices diminishes, |
until it reaches 0!
Although the foregoing, we have no ;
doubt, is suflicient to give you a very cor
rect view of the subject, yet, as y r ou have j
spent your days at the “handles of the I
plough,” whilst we have devoted upwards i
i of twenty years of our time to retailing
and wholesaling dry goods, we hope you
will pardon us for pursuing the subject
i one step further, for the purpose of show
ing you, at a single glance, the operations
and extent of the advanced prices upon I
tite consumer of coarse goods, who has |
to earn his bread by the sweat of his j
! brow.
These statements independent of the
high character of the parties, bear the
| stamp of veracity on the face of them.
The names, the factories dealt with, dates,
j Arc., are all referred to, and if the slight
est error were visible, Wethered and his
I whole band of swindlers would have in- j
stantly seized upon it. Now why this ,
j enormous rise in almost every protected
article? With 20 per cent.—cash duties,
i a home valuation, and almost every thing j
used by’ them free of duty—they’ had a
i suflicient protection before and were doing
| well. Mr. Nisbet tells us this and thou- ,
; sand repeated acknowledgments, made ,
the fact notorious. Why then this hca- |
vy rise ? There should have been a hea
vy reduction as was promised ; and why?
because the raw material is 50 per cent,
and provisions at least 30 per cent, lower,
j Yet there is a general rise and a heavy'
‘ one, except a few articles of plain man
ufacture. Is there any mystery in the
enormous profits they’ are making? One
company I see has made its regular divi
dend and divided 70 per cent, bonus ! !
Near’y doubling the capital in a single
year! They have been able to make
these extortions by having all competition
removed, and they* have extorted their own
prices, whilst the cost of production was
diminished to them.
Plain white Osnaburgs have not risen
much, and are cheaper here than at the
Xorth. Let our planters recollect this
in their purchases, and protect those who
have not asked for protection, so far as
this small item goes.
There is one feature in this swindling
act ol 1842, that deserves particular no
tice : Whilst it fleeces unmercifully the
Southern planter, and the labouring, and
middle classes every where, it meanly
and selfishly takes cares of the iennp of
the pampered proprietor, and higher
classes of socictv.
