From the National Intelucesckr.
To the Cultivators, the Ca/iitalists and the
Manufacturers of the V. S.
No. 5.
There is no class of manufactures more
important and necessary to the cheap and
effectual supply of the public force m any
possible war, than those, which are made
from the hides and skins of the ai mer’s a. i
r.imalsand from those of the beasts of the 1
chase. Siloes, boots, guitres, stocks cock
ades, straps, belts, scabbards, cartouch box ,
es, saddles, bridles, holsters, valaises bags, j
caps, gunslings. harness and geers. leathern
breeches and even vesA';, ship pump leather, i
nKg*ng hides, and some other articles are !
maue in the best forms by our various lea„
ther manufacturers of American and foreign
hides and s!. in~, tanned, tawed, colored or
in the hair, as the case requires. To these
may be added for general use, trunks, port_
manteaus, saddle bags, carriage boots, and
tops, gloves, pocket books and portloiios,
Card taces, bg :k covers, parchment, sham
morocco, and many other things to a great
amount. Ii is seated in the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury that all our lea
thern manufactures may br estimated to.be i
worth per ann 20 millions of dollars—a very '
model ate computation. Those ot England
are computed at more than ten millions
sterling or forty four millions of dollars_
A large part of the difference is occasioned 1
by the cheapness of the American skins,
leather and manufactures. In proportion
to our population, the quantity ol the enods
in America is not matet tally less than that
of Great Britain# in ail the necessary and!
useful kinds. 1 his great value of American
rnanufuc ures from hides and -kins, is high '
ly use'ul to the country in pub ic and prL
vate supp ies, and it is very beneficial totiie
landholders and cultivators iu the sure and
steady market it affords for shins, lime,
liaik. building materials, draught cattle &
the loot), of men and beasts employed in the
bus ness. We do not atand in need of any
foreign put chasers lor our skins, nor tor
ourbaik and lime, so far as me leather
branch demands them. In every instance,
American manufacturers support the Ame
rican farmers by purchasing the skins of
thrir sheep, hogs, horses and horned caitie.
——— l hese skins are converted into shoes,
boots, saddles, shiphides and other ncccssa*
lies and i equisites for die comfort and ser_
vice of the delemlers of our country, by land
and sea A Copious, sure, and excellent
mass of war supplies is thus secured for
ever to our country at the expence ut those
foreign nations, who formerly furnished
them, and who have intrenched upon our
personal and public lights and interes s on
the high seas, 1 nose who in the phrenzy of
avarice, have temporarily suspended out
commeite have, by that very measure per_
Mianenitu established our adult manufacl
lines. Our leathern mauufaciui es alone are
at this moment worth much more per an
num than were all out exports jn the first
year under our present national constitution
i eace m I.urope will restore ouv commerce
out lo.hmg can deprive us of our established
manufactures They have passed the in
famine state, They are now adult. Thiyhave
grown naturally £: umorced, out of our own
land,our own waters,our own w<«xls &nur own
wans The pretence of those taw materials
which cultivation, fishing, hunting, mining, or
■ill various soils spontaneously produced,have
'ccasioned the manufacture of those plain
✓ •oh and useful Comm dities, which are
nectrtsary to lightcou* t'r; rre and to the
wants ami com torts ot civilised mtn<
In regard to the leathern branch, it may
be useful particularly to suggest to the citi_
zens of our western states and territories, of
» •tuburg, La lie atm the towns on the Ontario,
that they owe to their country ?c themselves
niore reflection and exertion on the subject
of the skins of all the wild animals. The
deer skin, fur example, often perishes in its
way from the western forests to the Atlantic
warehouses; and frequently, nay generally
sustains an expence of transportation too
heavy to be borne by its low unmanufactured
value. Every mode therefore of preparing,
dressing and employing deer skins in our
western and remote settlements should be
carefully devised, considered and executed.
They are susceptible of being well tanned :
Lime, bark and Tanner’s streams, with
cheap grounds, present themselves in abun
dance in all the villages, town ships and
roomies adjacent to the Indian country.—
Well prepared deer skins, tanned, mwed &
buffed, or in russet or in black, are fit for
many common purposes and military supply.
Very large quantities are sent, dried only
in the hair, at a ruinous expence of tran„
sportation, from our remotest wild to the
distant manufactories of transatlantic Eu
rope. This subject is worthy the utmost at
tention cf the Indian trader and of the Wes
tern merchant ; of the manufacturers of
leather & their u oaied friends in our frontier
states and districts. Any considerable im
provement. in regard to the manufacture &
employment of deer skins, would be of great
importance to the supply of military leather,
and of cour se to the operations and main
teuunce ol our army in our young settle
ments and in the scenes adjacent, in any pos
sible Indian war.
l he more general dressing of the skins ot !
hogs, (the best leather for the seats ot mili_ |
• ary saddles) would lie attended with good
effects upon our pu hlic and private supplies.
In the Eastern states more of the due atten
tion is paid ' o this object; but it is really
neglected in s-une intelligent and economic
ca> quarters. Since the usual supplies of
foreign hides and skins is not received and
since war might interrupt their importation,
the bene ficial consequences of present atten
tion to 'he skins of hogs, of deer and other
anima.s, now in some measure neglected,
mc-iiv consideration, as it would give comfort
and effect to our military expenditures.
The enhancement of the price, value or
demand for all Indian skins would render
jour mtcrc ursc with them more profitable,
and ot course, more inducive of peace. Our
rival n* ighbors cannot employ the savage
hunttr’s lut sand skins, in manufactures and
consumption, on this side of the Atlantic.—
They caiftiot, therefore, in this respect so
well as the Amt t ic ms tempt our red neigh
bors into the paths of friendship by the bene
fits of trade. Thus we perceive, that ,
while our unforced and naturally growing
manufactures give us cheap and sure mtlita i
ry supplies with a view to our white rivals
and toes they diminish our occasion for
those costly objects in re»pect to the Concili
ated Indians. 1 iswvll in the hour of ne
cessi .y to be able to procure cheap supplies,
but it is l etter, thus to remain in peace
with our savage neighbors, and n enuse.. i
quehce, tube ext mp.ed from the burllicn of
purchase. t
Wnen any branch of American manufac. .
tuies has obtained m.uar i \. excellence and
beamy, as is really the c:.sc ol u>r leutbt rn :
commodities, optn and covert exportations i
naturally take place. Our rivals, in the :
field f trade and tnanufac.ures, Iviog upon J
themselves the gieat new evil of otu eunipe ]
tilion. In most useful tilings learner, for
example, in the South American nt-tske s, 1
we can by price ai d quality effectually sup ,
plant the European uianulrictuiers, especL
ally since the foreign orders ai d decrees
hav« driven our capitals from our ships to
nur workshops. tso Britain may furnish them
fora time wuh the lighter cottons for the i
luxurious and the fashionable. but we shall
supply them with the heavy and substantial
commodities, required by their plainer and
their poorer millions.
