Of the Effi 8s ftbe moi # fob, of .he American Trade on the Mara
Jactares ad Dornan, ce if Gieet-^rtain.
IN confe^uence ol the c, u cs that nave been enumerated 'n the la^
chaji.r, and others that shall oon be mentis ned, he prior of mar
ny 0. rhe mauuuauics of Britain has been ,6 much enhanced, Pat
hey have ho . been able to and a competition v Ith the u.auuf Of res
of other nations in foreign markets, and our trace in hole aith h$
has greatly declined. Our tr^c to the Lev mt in voelleh coh,
whicn was once an object of treat natu nal importance, has dwindled
10 nothing, once the French ane the outch bate there become cur
competitors in that article; and the sale 1 cur woollen mahuta&ures
: m Get mat y and the Baltic has, from tic fan e caule greatly declined.
io prevent tne total downLl of that rav< rite national manuf. u^ e,
mo better expedient has been deviled than to obtain a monopoly in me
trade for woollen manufacture in all places in which we have had ii-•
fluence enough to effect it. Ihi 1 the case >n regard to Portugal,
our colonies in America, and Britain it'e f: from ah which places we
have endeavoured by every device'we could cont ive to excl Tie the
woollen manufactures of other nations. But imall arc the advantages
that are derived from such defpicabie expedii lit as this.
A mon poly of trade is always a favourite nicaluie among mer
chants, because it tends directly to enrich t' e immediate n onopolift.
Yet it feidom happens that a nation is benefited upon the who! by £'
monopoly trade, and it always happened that a monopoly of any.
branch of manufacture proves in the end cxtiemciy. prejudicial to
the int relh of the community vyhich obtains it. Ilie reason of this'
will be Efficiently obvious to any one who re^c&s but slightly upon
The tin hufa&urer who finds I imfelF freed from the concurrence of
a competitor in the market, will ha:uraily ta^e lef- paws to h-ve hi#
goods made perfect in their kind, th n he woul~ ,have taken, had he
dreaded the preference that nrighr Lav. been given to the gooes of
his rival.
1 he merchant likewise, when he finds that his euflomers cannot.be
fupplicd by any other than himfelf,, demands and obtains a higher
profit than he otherwise could have got.'
No goods being returned or fend below prime cos in this market,
both m-rchants and manufactures obtain very great.profit, for a time;
and neither of them once think of the pterfc&ob < f the g oils, bug
"merely how they may get them made at as small a, pr.ee as poffiblc, .
and thus augment their profits.
'1 hings go on in this train for some time, till the workmen acquire
a slovenly manner of working, that renders their goods less fit for
other markets than they wfed to be. The inaller manufacturers rhus
finding their .profits very cortfiderable, Mfn, each of them, to poftef#
as much of this lucrative bufmi' s a possible; to obtain which L ,
give a little more wages totheir wcrknieb than formerly Otl r
manufacturers to secure the r bhfirn fs are obliged to give as n ucl&
Thus do they go on gradually outbidding one another till the wages
rife so high that;, that with al the advantage- of the monopoly, na
mere money can be made by that branch of buimefs man by an,
other.
Here ho? ever, it is observable, that thi great profits which were
at flrft divided between the matter manufacturer and the merchant,
gradually pals f om them and c< me in t me to be appropriated by the
fab u iug m r nu aClurers; who by thus obtaining mote money th nt
is rieceffary to maintain them in their former frugal mode of tiv ng,
either work lets, or requite a tafh fora more luxurious rb eof liv,
ing. In either case the effect upon the n'amjaaurt is the fame.
What was at firft a mere gratuitous price, demanded erlj w>h a view
to augment the profits of trade, comes at length to cot Liute a part
of the price of the manufacture itfclf Hau that exorbitant profit:
never been demanded, the manuf.&ure could h.vr been arried on
as formerly at its oid low price; but as loon'zs this-profit forms 3.
part of the price of the good's they never will, nor ine eed can be
afforded lower, for reafens that shall bye and bye be made Acanifelt,
It is a pect iiarity attending political regulations, that if the Ceceno-'
my is deranged in one particular inllance, it is immediately commits '
nicated through the whole, and equally cffeCb every departr cut..
Thus, in the case now under consideration, the parti ular nhantyd&ufe'
alluded to, yielding higher profit to those empoyed in it than cou^
be obtained in others, necessarily railes the wages of ill other mane
failures, till they become as high a? in 'his bianch. Tie fanie tiling
happens with labourers in agriculture; which propcrtoyatly ratfes
the price of the necessaries of life. By this tranhticn tin'pr fit goes
from the manufacturer to the labourer and a dloril, wlere it retd.
In this manner does every nienopp y of ivanufadufe naturally oper
ate so as to raise the price of all-the ni/imft&ure- In" tTT ^ngddiii,
and by corSequence ciminilh the demand for them from the worfd at
large where a free trace is allowed. riri;:/..
Th^ free market for mdnafa&ures thus coming gradually to decay,
the man ifa&urers.turn then attention chiefly to the monopoly maik-.
et.' 'lhe price of the g< ods ro themfelvesi now higher .th.@foxv_;
nierly; it mart, by cot fequen^e be also higher to tiie confuraers. 1
' il&purchaf relearn in time hat they might be fupilted cfeaper Doni
oth< T markets. They complain. Bit these comp aint. if the niopo-,
politls have porteiwill procure them no rcdrels. Attempts are made ~
to elude theJaw thatdecurus themonoßuly, .Sever rJ^ia&detifed
to enforce the forn er. The monopobfh and confirmers thus become
Lcret and bit er cnemie to each' other, A* the tempt ton to felude
the laws become Wronger, a contraband trade takes 1,d,%c, which no
human power can ever prevent when the pr fit by it 'is [onfiderabe.
In consequence of^rh s the demand for the nianufa&'ure e _yn so thia „
marker gradually declines, and none other can be found. ManefafyrtFg
thus thrown out ol empio hunt n'iuft either Beg of starve, or leave
the countr A mifrable choice but a heccflaiydnc iit^ueh a'fl.fe,,
un efs measures shall have been previbufly taken to guard aga nil th $
„r< at evil. : '
Had the monopoly of the trade to our American colonies been s.
really efficacious as ma- y sec hi to think it wa, confluences funilar
to the above m 11 long ago have been expe fenced: bi t luckily fur ,
Britain means were found by the cmnnifts from thbhcgiDning to elude
the force of these restraints in niary efTen id articles, while the bulk,
of the nation believed they were ftfidiy compl.ed with. These cir
cumstances however \vere always.very well known to the 'minivers of
Great-Britain, but whether through ind den e, or from whatever
other motives I pretend not to fay, they were i;k d at; till oilre,
when an attempt to reform this, along with f me oth r inters!
abides that had long or railed in the colonres lighted up the civil
war that rages at present: war that has been carri- don with fu h.
pertinacity, as mull: prove highly prejudicial to both part es, fnd
which will probably end, in a confiaerable a teration in the (ircuru
fiances - f both. Flow far thfc alteration may be advantageous to ei
ther party, it is impossible tn afeerTin until the alteration has actual
ly taken place. But it behoves every one 'concerned to look forward
with a view to point out such circumflarces as may lead to a fettle
meat as little prejudicial to either party as possible.
From th-'s minute survey of the foregoing particulars, it appears,
that in every point of view in which we have confide red the. fubjeCh,
the inti rest of Great-Britain has-been-hurt by the eftablilhment of.
her North American colonies. This conclusion is, however, so con
trary to the opinion of political writers in general, and to the prepofre
feflions of the people of this < ountry at large, that it will undoubte ',
be by many deemed erroneous. In these circumfbnces, however
, much I n?yfelf may be convinced of the fufficit ncy of rhe foregoing
arguments to authorife the c< nclufion: vet the refpe& that is in all
caf 3 due to the judgment of the many when opposed b, an individual,
induces me to ex mine with candour such other arguments as I h?ye
heard adduced in favour of rhe beneficial couf quences that are Bin
pofed to have resulted to Britain from the colonies now under conii
derarion.
