mw&ftf
It we judge from past experience, our
habits of ceconomy are not such, as will
produce this effca, to any considerable
purpose. Our citizens seldom refufe gra
tifying themselves, on account of a differ
ence of fix-pcnce or a (hilling in the yard:
If they earn their money hardly, they
will spend it at their pleasure. During
the late war we know the prices were in
creased 100 per cent, yet neither the
obligation of law—the love of their coun-
try or even in some cases, the risque of
life will deter, fiom gratifying themselves
in the enjoyment of foreign manufac
tures.
The next enquiry is, how will encrea
fing the duties on our own citizens, af
fe<a the government of Great Britain, so
a» to accomplish the desired end !
If their manufacturers obtain their
price. If their merchants receive their
commissions, how will it affect them, that
our citizens pay high duties on the arti
cles here, before they are consumed ?
It may be answered.
By leflening the consumption.
By increasing our own manufactures.
By encouraging other nations, to cease
a competition in our markets.
As to other nations, it may fairly be
find, with regard to the supply, that
France and Holland, are the only nations
that can be contemplated. It would be
cruel in the extreme, to put France to
the ted, under her present critical and
d.ltreffing situation. She has called all
her citizens into the field: If any can be
spared, it must be for the purpose of her
agriculture, or the manufacture of arms
alone. It would expose her to the charge
of inability, without giving her the
chance of a fair experiment.
Every gentleman on the floor, knows
that Holland independently considered, has
no possible way of yielding ui a supply.
If flie does it, it must be as a medium
between Great Britain and us : So that
directly or indirectly, we /hould receive
the supply from Great Britain, which
would evade the intended effect of the
measure.
dent from the present state' of our mani.
faftures. The supply equal or bearing
any reasonable proportion to the demand,
is impossible for many, many years to
come.
But it may be said, that they may be
lupplied from home manufaaures, or from
nations in alliance with us.
Mr. Boudinot's observations concluded.
He at length adverted to the refutation
before the committee, and said, it confid
ed of two parts, one relative to higher du
ties, on the manufactures of foreign nations
not having any treaty with us, the other
to further reftiiaions on the shipping of
thole natious : To these, then, Mr. Bou
dinot said he would confine himfelf, and
thereby greatly narrow the debate. The
firft enquiry that obvioully prcfentrd itfelf,
in order to determine the effect, is on
'whom will theje higher duties fall ? The
general principle agreed on all hands is,
that the conlumer pays the duty : The
citizens of the United States, are the con
sumers; the citizens of the United States,
must therefore pay the higher duties.
This reasoning proceeds on the fa&,
that our citizens purchase the manufac
tures.
1 lie articles mentioned, are either ne
cefiaries or fuperfluities. If neceflkries,
our Citizens must have them : If fuperflu
ities, as freemen they will have them, if
they choose them ; they will lay out their
money as they please, unless reftii&ed by
laws founded on the true interests of the
nation,

resolutions.
Mr. Boudinot then reminded the com
mittee of the nature of the trade with
Great-Britain. Did the Britirti merchant
bung his manufa&ures and offer them for
sale in this country: No—the American
merchant employed the merchant in Eng
land to purchase of the manufacturers, on
a commifiion of jor 10 per cent. The
goods were exported at the risque of the
American merchant, and whether the ccr
fumer paid a high or low duty on them,
on their arrival in this country, was a
matter of but secondary conlid'eration to
the Brilifh merchant.
Do not these duties already bear a fuffi
cient proportion to the capitals of our
merchants ? Some gentlemen have objec
ted to the easy credit afforded our mer
chants in Great Britain ; and yet in the
fame breath, are for demanding the small
capitals of their own, in duties, and re
tllcm l ' le advantage of foreign capi
tals, where they can be obtained. He
corfcfled he was not convinced of the dan
gers arising from public credit, which
were so warmly urged by the gentleman
from Virginia. When he looked at that
gentleman and attended to the zeal he dif
covcred, in what he thought so efTential
to the welfare of his country, it afforded
an answer to every objection, so ably
supported by him. The gentleman had
acknowledged and lamented the preval
ence of credit, and that from Great Bri
tain ; in the state he came from, he fai<l
it universally prevailed, and had its effeA
on the importing merchant : From him
to the country {hop keeper, and thence
to the farmer, so that the dependance on
the merchant in Great Britain, was to be
feared through every part of the commu
nity, and the mod dangerous influence
of English politics was to be dreaded
But was there a state in the Union, where
the policy of Great Britain was reprobat
ed, more than in the state of Virginia >
Was not the conduct of that gentleman
in the present debate, as well as that of
his colleagues, full proof that the credit
he complained of did not produce the fa
tal effeas he feared ? Was not Virginia
the large ft, and if we might judge from
her visible capital, (slaves) the richest
state in the Union, and yet (he had always
been in the habit of unbounded credit, in
Great Britain.
The importation of the United States,
amounted to twenty millions of dollars;
' already laid, amounted to four
millions: This on an average, was 20 per
cent. This was a very feriousduty indeed,
and though principally designed to laife
a revenue, yet it also acted as bounties to
our manufactures, and when added to the
frwght, insurance, commissions and inter-
C p? ,d ' b y the importer of foreign ma
nufactures, every gentleman mull con
clude, that our citizens would not pati
ently submit to greater burthens, without
the most obvious necefiity. He added,
that if the fpecific articles referred to in
the resolutions, were individually consider
ed, the duties would amount to about
1J per cent, when imported in foreign
bottoms; which would be found very
heavy on those articles, and fufficient to
encourage our home manufactures, con
liftently with the ease of the citizcns.
The increase of our home manufactures*
is a moll desirable objedt, and there waj
no gentleman of the committee more de
sirous of promoting them, than he was.
Bnt this could only be accomplilhed by
time. It was a progrefiive work, and
was now hastening to perfe&ion, as fall
as was compatible, with a due attention to
agriculture ; but no gentleman would pre
tend to fay, that even' the hope of a com
petent supply, was rational, for many
years to come; nay he verily believed,
that if all the wool of the fifteen States
was brought together, it would not af
ford a supply of woolens for one date.
But it was proper to look to the encou
ragement already given to our manufac
tures.
