LETTER,
,r»OM.TII( SECRET A U Y OF THE TREASURY,
Transmitting a lit port, in part, on the subject of
DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.
(Continued.)
. From this imperfect sketch of American ma
nufactures, it may with certainly be interred, tlmt
,the>r annual product exceeds one hundefd and
twenty millions of dollars. And it is not Impro
bable that the raw materials used, and the provi
sions & other articles consumed by the manufac
turers, create a homo market for agricultural
products not very inferior to that which arises
from foreign demand. A result more favorable
than might liavfc been expected from a view of
the natural causes which impede the introducti
© , and retard the progress of manufactures in the
U■ States
The most prominent of those causes arc the a
bund a nee of land compared w ith the population,
the high price of labor, and the want of a suffi
cient capital. The superior attractions of agri
cultural pursuits, the great extension of Ameri
can commerce during the lute European wars, Sc
the continuance of habits after the causes which
produced them have ceased to exist, may also be
enumerated. Several of those obstacles have,
Jtowc-.er, been removed orlct&eped. The cheap
ness of provisions ha-l always to acertain extent,
counterbalanced the high price of manual labor ;
and this is now in many important bratvehea, near
ly superseded by the introduction of machinery :
a great American capital has been acquired du
rtug the last twenty years, and the injurious vio
lation of the neutral commerce ot the U. States,
i>y forcing industry and capital into other channels
—have broken inveterate habits, and given a ge
neral impulse, to which must be ascribed the
great increase of manufacture* during the two
.Sast year'.
r-ie revenue of thh United States being prin
cipally derived from duties on the importation of
foreign mercliAnd.se, these have also operated as
a premium in favor of American manufactures,
whilst on the ether hand, the continuance of
peace, and the frugality of government, have icn
slered unnecessary any oppressive taxes, tending
materially to enhance the price of labor, or impe
ding any species of industry.
No cause indeed has perhaps more promoted,
5n every respect, the general prosperity of the U
States, tbsn the absence of those s\ stems of in
ternal restrictions, and monopoly, which continue
to disfigure the state of society in other countries
No laws exist here directly or indirectly, confin
ing man to a particular occupation or place, or
excluding any citizen from any branch he may
•t any time think proper to pursue. Industry is
5n every respect perfectly free and unfettered ;
•very species of trade, commerce, art, profession
*n J manufacture being equally open to all, with
out requiring any previous regular apprenticeship
admission or licence Hence the pi ogress of A
morica lias not been confined to the improvement
of her agriculture, and to the rapid formation of
new settle stents and states in the wilderness ;_
but her citizens have extended their commerce
through every p .rt of the glebe, and carry on
with complete success, e\en those branches
for Which a monopoly had heretofore been consi
dered essentially necessary.
The same* principle has also accelerated the
Introduction and progress of manufactures, and
must ultimately give in that branch, as in all o
thers, a decided superiority to the citizens of the
United States over the inhabitatts of countries,
oppressed by taxes, restrictions and monopolies, j
It i- : lievtvl that even at this time, the only pow
eriul obstacle against which American mauuf&c- j
tin es have to struggle, arises from the vastly su- j
perior capital of the first manufacturing nation of
Europe, which enables her merchants to give vc* I
ry*long credits, to sell on small profits, and tc i
anuke occasional sacrifices.
Tiie information which lira been obtained is !
not sufficient to submit, in conformity with the |
resolution of the house, the plan best calculated j
to protect and promote American manufactures . I
The most obvious means are bounties, increase d
duties on Importation, and loans by government.!
Occasional premiums might be beneficial ; but1
a general system of bounties is more applicable
to artirle9 exported than to those manufactured i
for home consumption. j
i he present system of duties may, in some re
spects, be equalized and improved, to as to pro
tect some species of manufactures without aflect
ing the revenue. But prohibitory duties are lia
ble to toe treble objection ofdestroying compe
tition, of taxing the consumer, and of diverting
capital and industry into channels generally less
profitable to the nation than those which would
Lave natrually been pursued by individual inter
est left to itself. A moderate increase will be
less dangerous, and il adopted, should be conti
nued through a certain period ; for the repeal of
a duty once laid, materially injures those who
have relied on its pei manen'ey, and has been ex
ampl'lied in the salt m.mufacluie.
Since, however, the comparative want of ca
pital, is the principal obstacle to the introduction
and advancement of manufactures in America,
il seem* that the mi'it efficient and m».;t obvious
rrm dy woul 1 consist in supplying that Capita 1
For ahhoiiph the txt nsiou «»f botks may give

tinned and supercedes llie necessity of the shoe
maktr’s hammering th»i leather saves entirely
the labor and waste attending that part of the
shoe-maker’s business, and gives the leather a
closeness of texture far beyond hammering or any
olhar plan now practised ; also 1 haVe found
much advantage by applying heat, by means of
a copper cylinder, adapted to the purpose, pass

make the last effort to extract the Tannin from

nated, and from long experience find the success
attending thetn has abundantly equalled my ex
pectatior.s.
“ Much saving of labor and bark is gained by
these improvements, as must be obvious to any
person who has a slight knowledge either prac
tical or theorical of the buainess. Our forests
abound with bark: Our beeves afford many
hides, and large quantities are imported from
the Spanish Dominions, part of which are ma
nufactured and part are re-exported. Slaughter
hides arc sometimes exported, which ought to
be prohibited, if practicable. I have known, &
1 believe it not uncommon, that quantities of
hides and bark have been exported to England,
and the leather made from these hides imported
and used in this country. The manufacture of
leather in the middle slates is far in advance, be
yond either the northern or southern states. A
heavy- duty on green or slaughter hides, if con
stitutional, and a small duty, say one cent per
lb.on the,exportation of foreign hides—a heavv
impost duty on leather of every kind and in every
shape, with an aid of capita), and perhaps a boun
ty on improvements, made public, vyouul have a
tendency to encourage the manufacture of lea

now in many places sustain, by the carelessness

or wantonness ot the butchers, in hacking ami
cutting them. In the city ot New-York, there
is a loss from thb source of twenty per cent, at
least, without a particle of gain. Also a law ap
pointing inspectors of leather, to prevent tanners
trout using an improper quantity of lime in the
process, anil offering their leather in market,
when only partially tanned, would he very useful.
The !.mners in Uoslon Sc its neighborhood prac
tice this method, much to the injury of the arti
cle- and m that way to the public. The same
hide well manufactured, will assuredly be worth
double to the consumer, than if poorly manufac
tured. Yet mankind are so much the creatures
of habit, and such lilt nature ot the business, tne
difference will nut be readily 'discovered by a su
perficial observer. One third of the hides tanned
in the United States are imported hides. These
corue from the Spanish colonies almost wholly.
Hides in England are uniformly higher than in
this country— 41 6J per stone 13 me least price 1
ha% e seen stated, that is something more than se
ver. cents per pound. Their bark in England,
costs moto th in their hides ; that is bark suHici
ent to tan a hide costs more than the hide. My
slaughter hides costs me five anil a half cents tier
pound, and my La:k costs tne one thirteenth as
much as the hide. Leather would bo ,n impor
tant article of exportation even to England if it
could be admitted there by paying no more’duly
than their manufnetured articles pay in thts couii
trv. The manufacture ol leather is by no means
completed when it goes from the hands of the
I ti nners. The currier, the shoemaker, saddler
namessmaker, and several oilier tradesmen ft it
j for various uses after the tanner has pei formed his
: operations.”

IDOLLARS REWARD —R'lrt awny
A from t!»e subscriber, in the county of Meek
lenburg, on the Stbof Apr! Ivt. a very bright
mu.mo Negro Man named 1UL1.Y, supposed to
be 2:> or 24 years of age ; stout, well rn ,de—ba-i
a lull face; Sleet 9 or 10 inches nigh; his e\ vt
are of a gray or hazie colour ; his hair uncom
monly short for a man who is as white as lie is,
which be wears combed on the forehead, in imi'
talion ot the present fashion ; l.e In.s a small
scar on the forepart of one of his legs, a little a
bovethe ancle; hiscloulhing is not recollected,
except an imported white fur hat, about half
worn, and a blue broad cloth frock coat . He is
a good sawyer, ..nd a rough carpenter, cooper &
fiddler. Billy was raised on the Polom »c river,
in King George county, on the estate'of Mrs. A
Slith, where he pipv be in:king, or he may en
deavor to pass as a freeman in some of the towns,
possibly in Petersburg, as he is a: jur inted with
one of Mr. R. Boiling’s negroe s. It is necessary
to observe, that it is probable that he has r. com
panion with him, a. mulatto fellow of col. Georce
Terry’s, named Tom, who, I am iufonr.hd, can
writ® ; if this is the case, it is likely that he may
have a free peer, i will give tire above reward to
any person who will t*! e up and put in juil, the
said negro, so that I get him again. All masters
of vessels and others, r;re forv/ trued harboring cr
carrying tin; said negto out of t!m rtnte.
