[ COM MUNICA TE D. J 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- AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY JDKMNG, SEPTEMBER 7, 1844. 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 Do. same quality, 1843, 33 Do.

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.

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.
