DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.
(Continued.)
HATS.
The annual importations of foreign
hats, amount to g 350.00C
The annual exportation of Ame
rican huts, to 100,000
The domestic manufacture is therefore nearly
equal to the home consumption. The number
made in the state of Massachusetts, is estimated
by the hut company of Boston, at four *'mes the
number required for the consumption of the state
— and from drier information it would appear
that in llist stale aim r, the capital applii il to
that branch, is near three millions of dollars, the
number ol persons employed about four thousand,
and the numb- r of lists annually made, 1,550,000
—of which 1,150,000 are line hats, worth on an
average four dollars each, a: -1 *100,000 felt huts,*
■worth one dollar each. That the manufacture is
still profitable appears from u laic establishment
on Charles river, calculated to make annually
35.000 hats at five dollars a piece, and to employ
150 workmen.
The quantity made in BhodeTshnd, is stated
at 50,000, woith five dollars each, exclusively of
felt hats.
Connecticut and New-York make more then
is necessary for their consumption; th*> largest
establishment being that of Banbury, when-$00
persons arextmploycd, and to the amount of 130,
C00 dollars flmually manufactured.
In Vermont the manufacture supplies the con.
■umption. It is stated by the hatters of Phila
delphia, that 92,000 hats, worth five dolla.s each,
sire annually made there, in addition to which,
50.000 country hats, worth three dollars each,
;ire annually sold in the city. In various quar
ters the scarcity of wool is complained of, as pre
venting the making of a sufficient quantity < f
coarse hats. From all the information which ins
bcejif received, it is believed that the value of ail
t\A lists aimally made in the United Stales is
near ter millions of dollars. (See K. )
Paper and Printing.
Some foreign paper is still imported ; but the
greater part of the consumption is of American
manufacture : and it is believed that if sufficient
attention was every where paid to the preserva
tion of rags, a quantity equal to the demand
would be m le in the United Slates Paper mills
j».re erected in every part of the Union. There
are twenty'-one in the states of New-Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware uione, tit.
ten in only five counties ol" ihc states of N York
«nd Maryland LI even of those mills, employ a
capital of two hundred thousand doit irs, and 180
workmen, and make annually 150,UU0 dollars
wuiiii or paper.
Printing is carried on to an extent commensu
rate with the demand. Fxr.lusively of the mi
morons news papers which alone torn a conside
rable item in value, nil the looks for which t;.crc
is ;mi adequate number of purchasers^ are printed
in the United States. IV.it sufficient data have
not been obtained to form an estimate of the an
nual aggregate value of thr paper made, and of
the printing and book binding executed in the
United States, other titan w hat may be inferred
from the population. The manufactures of hang
ing paper,and of playing cards are also exten
sive ; and that of printing types, of which there
sire two establishments, the principal at Philadel
phia, and another at Baltimore, was lully ade
quate to the demand, but has lately been affected
by the want of regulus of antimony.
Manufactures of Hemp.
The Annual importation o' foreign hemp, a
mounted to 6,200 tons. But the interruption o*‘
commerce has greatly promoted the cultivation
of that article in Massachusetts, N. York, Ken
tucky and seven al other places ; and it is behov
ed that a sufficient quantity will, in a short time,
be produced in the United States.
The manufacture of ropes, cables and cordage
©f every description, may be considered as equal
to the demand ; tlie exportations of American ma
nufacture for 1805 and 1807, having exceeded the
average of 6,500 quintals, and the importations
from foreign ports iiu\ing fallen short of 4,200
ditto.
Exclusively of the rope walks ir all the sea
ports, there are fifteen in Kentucky alone, which
consume about one thousand tons ol hemp a year,
and six new works were in a slate of preparation
1©r the present year.
The manufactures r.f sail chirk formerly estab
lished in llhode-lsland, in Connecticut, and at
2-.deni, have been abandoned or suspended, partly
©n account of the high price r.f hemp, and partly
ibr want of capital. Sotn- is st'll inadtt ; and the
apvcks of ranvas commonly called cotton Lag
ging, is rr .v manufactured in various ]>laceson
sin extensive scale. An establishment at Phila
delphia, einploj < eight looms, and can make an
nually 1/, 000 yards of duck or 45,000 yards of
cotton hogging. There are thii ;en mam lo
ries in yf.entucky, and two in West Tcnnrsaec —
The five at or near Lexington, make annually
250,0'X) y ards i f duck and cotton bagging.
spirituous ana t/uni l.tquors.
Tl.t duty on licensed Mills amounted in 35Uj,
to 37£,000, and on account ofomissions might be
**slirii'.led at 450,000 dollars. As the duty actu
ally paid on spirits distilled in those stiiis, did
Tty on an average, cxcccrl five cents per gallon,
li e quantity of spirit distilled during that year,
/Irom grain and friot (exclusively <>f the large gin
distilk ries in cities) must have amounted to about
©,000 000 < f g.dinar, and may , at present, the
manufacturing having increased at k..st in the
same ratio as tl»e;pppidjtion, I e estimated at 1;?
millions of g..lions. To this muet lie added a
lv.ut three million s of gallons of gin and rum dis
tilled in cities, making an aggregate of li.’teen
millions of gallons.
The i' '.portations of f .reign spirits are never
thelcss very considerable., having amounted du
ring the years 3806 &. 3807, to 2.7/50,000 gallons
v year, and vi<-ldiiig nn<-.t annual revenue to the I
t,' S. of 2,f'65,000 dtdtnrs.
The quantity of malt liquors made inlli* Uni
te'! St «tes is nearly equal to their consumption.
The annual foreign importations amount only
to 185,000 gallons
And the annuel exportations of American beer
and cider, to 107,uU0 gallons.
Hut the amount actually made cannot be cor
rectly s*«ted. It has bprii said that l!/ brewc
rivs » f I'hiladeljdiia eonrumed annu.dly 150,000!
bushels of malt { aiul exclusively of the nume
rous establishments on a smaller scale, dispersed
♦ hrqpgboilt the count i y, extensive breweries are
ko'-wn to exist in N York and Baltimore.
From those flats the aggregate value of spiritu
ous and malt liquor* annually made in tiie United
States, eannot be estimated at le.sthan ten milli
ons of dollars.
iron and manufacture! of hon.
The information received respecting tint im
portant branch is very impel I ct. It is however
sveII kn< *n that iron orp abounds, and that nu
merous furnaces and forges are erected through,
r.u’. the United State s. They supply a *ufflcirnt
quantityof hollow ware, md of castings of eve

smequalqusnlii^ fom Swed'-n and Ilagland to

tvjr iron annually in *d in the United States, at fif
ty lli'i'.- md tons, which would leave a'>ouf forty
thouvtii i for that of American manufacture.—

much inferior Ameiican iron is brought to mar
ket On that account tlie want of the ordinary
supply of Uuuun iron lias been felt in some of
the slitting vul rolling nulls. But whilst a reduc
tion of the duty on Russian iron in asked from
several quarters, it is generally at-tied that h high
or prohibitory duty on I7ti>^li«la bar, slit, rolled &
sheet iron would be beneficial ; that which is u
suafly imported on account of its cheapness, be
ing made with pit coal, and of a very inferior qua
lity.
The annual imp rtatiuns of sheet, slit and lioop
iron, amount to five hundred and .sixty five tons ,
and the quantity rolled and slit in the United
States is estimated at seven thousand tons. In
the slate of Massachusetts alone, are found thir
te*n rolling' and slitting mills', in which about
3,500'ons of bar irmi, principally from Russia, are
annually lolled or slit. A portion is used for
slicei iron and nail rods for wrought nails ; hut j
two thirds of liie whole quantity of bar iron flat- j
lencd by machinery in the United Slates, is used
in llte manufacture of rut nails, which has now
extended throughout the whole country, and he
ng altogether an American invention, substitute
ing machinery to maim d labor, deserves particu
lar notice. The details on that subject will l»c
found in the communications (J,) and (M) ; and
it w ill ho sufficient here to stale, that the annual
product of that branch alone, may be estimated
at twelve hundred thousand dollars, and that ex
clusively ol the saving of fuel, the expense of
man ufacluring cut nails is not one third part of
that of forging wrought nails. About two hun
dred and eighty tons are already annually expor
ted, but the United States continue to import an
nually more than fifteen hundred tons, ot wrought
nails and spikes. An increase of duty on these,
anil a drawback on the exportation of the cut
nails, is generally asked for.
A considerable quantity-of blistered, and some
j refined steel,are made in America ; but the fo
reign import itions exceed 11,000 cwt. a year.
The lhanufac.tui es of iron consist principally
of agricultural implements, aiul of all the usual
work performed by common blacksmiths. To
I these may !;c added anchors, shovels and spades,
i axes, scythes, and other edge toi ls, saws, bits,
| and stirrups, anil a gieat Variety of the coarser
: articles of irownongiry ; but cutlery and all the
finer species nf hardware and of steel work,
are almost altogether imported from Great Uri
tain. Balls, shells, and cannon of small callibre
arc cast in set oral places ; and three fimnderies
lor casting solid, those of tlie largest callibre, to
gei. - r wuh the pioper machinery for boring and
. finishing them, are elsabiished at Cecil county,
! Mary^iid, near t.ne city of Washington, and at
1 Kicnmond, in Virginia ; each of the two last
j may cast «;00 pieces of artillery a year, and a great
] number of iron and brass cannon are made at and
I nr;u' the seat r,f government. Those of Philadel
i» | nc;4r Ike Hudson river, are now employ
; «d 1'. may he here added, that there are seve
ral iron founderiet for casting every species of
wo! ic wanted for machinery, and that steam en
gines are made at that of Philadelphia.
At the two public armouries of Springfield
3-id lim pet’s terry, 19,000 muskets are annually
mane. A bout twenty thousand more are made
a>- several factories, of which the most perfect is
said to be that near Nuw-Haven, and which,
wdh the exception of that erected at Richmond
by the state ol Virginia, are all private establisii
ment«, 1 hese may, i: wanted, be immediately
enlarged, and do not include a number of gnu
smiths employed in making rifles; and several o
ihor species of arms —Sw ords and pistols are al
so manufactured in several places.
Although it is not practicable to make a ccr
| reel statement of the va*ue of all the iron and
manufactures of iron, annually made in tlie Uni
ted States, it is Relieved to be from twelve to
fifteen millions of dollars. The annual impom
tions lrom all foreign countries, including bar
iron, and every description of manufactures of
iron or steed, are estimated at near four millions
of dollars.
j . Copper and brass.
Rich copper nones arc fuuiin tn New jersey, ir
Y iiginia, and near lake Superior ; but they are
n >t now wrought The principal manufactures
of that material, are those of stills and other ves
scls ; but the copper in sheets and bolts is almosl
universally imported j tiie only manufacture foj
that object, which is at Boston, nut receiving suf -
ficient encouragement, although a capital ol
25 000 dollars has been vested in a rolling mill
and other apparatus. The true reaosn is, that
those articles are imported free of duty ; and the
owners seem to be principally employed in cast
ing bells and other articles.
Zine has been lately discovered in Pennsylva
nia, and there arc.a f»w manufactures of mela!
buttons and various brass wares.
Manufactures of I.ead.
I.ead is found in Virginia and some other pla
! res, but the richest mines oft hat metal are found
in Upper Louisiana, and also it is said, in the ad
jaceiit country, on the cast side of the Mississip.
pL They are not yet wrought to the extent ol
\\ iii'.li they arc susceptible, and after supplying
! the western country, do not furnish more than
two hundred tons to the Atlantic states.
.'1 iic annual importations from foreign coun
tries < t red U "bits lead, amount to 1,150 tons.
And those of Lead itself, and of all
other manufactures of lead, to 1,225 do.
Tile principal American manufactures are
those ol; shot, and colors of lead. Of the first
there are two establishments on a larg scale at
Philadelphia an 1 another in Louisiana, which
arc more than sufficient to supply the whole de
mand, ntr.ted at £>x hundred tons n year. A re
peal of the. duty of one cent per pound on lead,
mid r.r. e'jualizatioBlof that on the manufactures
of lead, by charging them all with the two cents
per poll'll 1 ed ou while and red lead, is asked by
the manufacturer 9.
V’a.'icus other paints and colors arc also pre
pared in Philadelphia, and some other places.
> ifij jcpancd% plattd warn
T!ic I7ir.!:ut’aciu)'c of tin ware is very ex'ensive
atnl Connecticut supplies the greater part ofthe
United States with that article: hut the sheets
arc always imported. The manufacture of nlate
ware, prmesp ,!!y {'’r coach makers and saddlers
employs at I'hilcc’.elphia 73 workmen ; anil the
amount annually made there exceeds one hun
dred thousand dollars. There are other similar
establishments at New-Yurk, Baltintore, Bos

powder amounting only to 200,000 pounds, and
tht exportation of American powder to 100,000
pounds. The manufacture of Brandywine, which

Two others, near Baltimore, have a capital of
100,000 dollars, and m.<ke 450,000 lbs of a qual

There are several other powder mills in Penn
sylvania, and other places t but the total amount
ol gun powder made in the United States is not
ascertained.

Copperas is extracted in large quantities from
Pyrites in Vermont, New Jersey and Tennessee.
About 200 000 lbs of oil of vitriol and oilier a
cids, are annually manufactured in a single estab
lishment at Philadelphia. Various other prepar
ations and drugs are also made there, and in
some other plat*-s, and the annual umount export

Wabash Saline, which belongs to tlie United
States, making now 130,000 bushels. Valuable
discoveries have also lately betu made on the
banks o. the Kenlmwa. liuttii** annual import*
tion of foreign salt amounts to mure than three
millions of bushels, and cannot bo superseded by
American salt, unless it be in uie along the sea

Mitccllanctut.
Respecting the ether manufactures enmnernt
ed in the former part of this report, no import -it
or correct information has bten received, except
as relates to the two following :
Straw bonnets and hats are made with great
success ; and a small district in Rhode Island
and Massachusetts annually exports to other
parts of tlie Union, to the amount of 250,000 dol
lars. See communication ( N )
Several attempts have.been made to print cali
coes ; but it decs not seem that the manufactures
can, without additional duties, stand ,ih; compe
tition of similar foreign articles. The difii ul
ties under which they labor are stated in the
petition of tlie calico printers of Philadelphia to
congress. A considerable capital bus been ves
ted in an establishment near Baltimore, which
cun print 12,000 yards a week anti might ho con
siderably extended, if the profits and the demand
afforded sufficient encouragement.
