REPORT
Of the Secretary of State, on tie Privileges and
Ref rations on lie Commerce of tie United
States in Foreign Countries.
fccNCLvnun.]
With our neigbours, an order of things much |
harder nrefciits ilfelf.
SPAIN and PORTUGAL refufe, to thofe
parts of America wliich they govern, all direct
intercourfe with any people'but themfdves.
Tiie commodities in mutual demand, between
them and their neighbours, mnft he carried to
be exchanged in fomc port of the dominant
country ; and the tranfportation between that
and the fubjc<5t-ftate mult be in adomeilic bot
tom.
FRANCE by a Handing law, permits her W.
India oofiefiions to receive directly our vegeta
bles, live provifions, horfes, wood, tar, pitch,
and turpentine, rice, and maize, and prohibits
onr other bread-fluff: but a fufpenfion of this
prohibition having been left to the colonial !c
gifixtures, in times of fcarcity, it was formerly
fufpended occafionally, but latterly without in-1
lerruption.
Our filh and falted provifions (except pork)
are received in their iflmds under a duty of
three colonial livres the kcntnl, and our veffcls
arc as free as their own to carry commodities
thither, and to bring away ruin and tnolafTes.
GREAT-BRITAIN admits in her ifiands,
our vegetables, live provifions, liorfes, wood,
tar, pitch, and turpentine, rice, and bread-fluff,
by a proclamation ofhtr executive, limited al
wavs to the term of a year, but hitherto renew
ed from year to year. She prohibits onr falted
filh, and other filtcd provifions. She does not
permit our vefiels io carry thither ourowti pro
duce. Her vcfills alone, may take it from uk,
ami bring in exchange, rum,” molafles, fugar,
coffee, cocoa-nuts, ginger, and pimento. There
are, indeed, feme freedoms in the ifland of Do
minica, but, under fuch circumfiances, as to be
little ufed by us. In the Britifh continental co
lonics, and in Newfoundland, all our producti
ons are prohibited, and our vc.Tels forbidden to
enter their ports. Their governors, however,
in times of difirefs, have power to permit a tem
porary importation of certain articles, in their
own bottoms, blit not in ours.
Our citizens cannot refide as merchants or
factors within any of the Britilb plantations,
this being exprefsly prohibited by the fame fta
tutc of 12. Car. 2. u. 18, commonly called the
navigation aft.
In the DANISII-AMERICAN poff ITions, a
duty of five per cent, is levied on our corn, corn
naeal, rice, tobacco, wood, falted fi'h, indigo,
horfes, mules, and live Hock ; and often per
cent, on our flour, falted pork, and beef, tar,
pitch, and turpentine.
In the American i{lands of the UNITED
NE j HERLANDS and SWEDEN, our vefiels
and produce are received, fubjedl to duties, not
lo heavy as to have been complained of': but
they are heavier in the Dutch poffdiions on the
continent.
To fum up thefe Restrictions, fo far as
they are important:
i ft. Is Europe—
4 _ Our bread-fluff in at moff times under prohi
bitory duties in England, and confiderabiy tin
tied on re-exportation from Spain to her "colo
nics.
^ Our tobaccnes are heavily dutied in England,
“"""Sweden and France, and prohibited in Spain,
anti Portugal.
Our rice is heavily dutied in England and
Sweden, and prohibited in Portugal.
Our fifh and falted provilions arc prohibited
in England* and under prohibitory duties in
France.
Our whale-oils are prohibited in England and
Portugal.
And our veffcls are denied naturalization in
England, and of late in Prance.
2d. In the West-Indies.
All intercourfe is prohibited with the pofTef
fions of Spain, and Pori ugal.
Our falted provifions and fifh are prohibited
by England.
Our falted pork, and bread-fluff (except
maize) arc received under temporary laws only,
in the dominions of France, and our falted filh
pays there a weighty duty.
3d. In the Article of Navigation.
Our own carriage of our own tobacco, is hea
J vily dutied in Sweden, and lately in France.
P WV can carry no article, not of our own pro
duction, to the Britifh ports in Europe.
Nor even our own produce to her American
l- pofleflions.
Such being the reftriftions on the commerce
and navigation of the United States, the quefti
s on i.,, in what way they may bell be removed,
modified, or counteracted ?
As to commerce, two methods occur. 1. By
4 friendly arrangements with the fevira! nations
with whom thefe reftriClions exift : Or, 2. By
the feparate aCt of our own legifluturcs for coun
tervailing their cffcCts.
There can be no doubt, but that ofthefe two,
friendly arrangement is the mofl eligible. In
field of embarraffing commerce under piles of
regulating laws, duties, and prohibitions, could
it be relieved from all its (hackles in all parts of
the world—could every country be employed
in producing that which nature hr.s be ft fitted
it to produce, and each be free to exchange with j
others mutual furoluffcs, for mutual wants, the
g reate ft mafs poffible would then be produced
of tbc.fe things which contribute to human life,
and human happinefs j the numbers of mankind j
would be incrcafed, and their condition better
ed.
Would even a Angle nation begin with the U
nited States this fyftcm of free'commerce, it
would beadvifable to begin it with that nation ;
fin -c it is one by one only, that it can he extend
ed to all. Where the circumfr.inccs of either
P 'rty render it expedient to levy a revenue, bv
way of imp- ft, on commerce, its freedom might
be modi fit d, in that particular, by mutual and
equivalent meafures, prcLrving it entire in all
others.
L Com na*ions, not yet ripe for free commerce,
f In i" it*< xtent, migt t ftill be willin; to m llify
its reftriflions and regulations for tld in p. ,por
tion to the advantages, which an intercourfe
with us might offer. Particularly they may
' concur with us in reciprocating the duties t.» bi
levied on each fide, or in compenfatiug any ex
1 cef* of duty, bv equivalent advantages of ano-1
the, nature. Our commerce ij certainly «>f a i
cl«. ratlcr to entitle it to favour la rnoft conn-1
tries. The commodities we offer, arc either
Lecrflarie of life, or materi-.U f..r maiiiifaiftnre ; '
01 convenient fubj of revenue : and we take I
iu exchange,, citiur mannfafltires, when they!
have received the laft f.niih of art ami irxluftry ;
or me; c lux ai ics. Such cuftnmrrg may redo 1
a »ly exp. fi tv. Ico tie, ami friendly treatment at,
c very mark’1 : cuftomcra loo, w!j.>fo demands,
if.erc«fi tg w.th tl.cir vvialiu, and population,;
^n uftvv.y fhortlv give full employ nuit tu the 1
whole 1 /ti . . t any muii 'i whatever, in a. y
li.u. of f m !y th.y m,.y get into the haiiit of
CaHii.tf f,-.. fro. .it.
I But flioniii a. v ua ion, contrary In our wilb
e . f.rypnii •; may bettt r fiml its advantage r»y
eoulitiuiug its o» j>,ohihuumr, duties, '
if cl regulations, ?f behove! »n tonrofeft mjr ci
tizens, their commerce and navigation, 1 y coun
ter-prohibitions, duties, and regulations alfo.
foce commerce arrl navigation arc not to be
given in exchange for rvltrfolions, and vexati
ons ; nor arc they likely to produce a relaxati
on of them.
Our navigation involves ft 11! higher conficlcr
atiors. As a branch erf induftry. it is valuable;
but, ns a ref >urce of nee, efTential.
Its value, as a branch of induftry, is inhanced
by the dependence of fo many other branches
on it. In times of general peace it multiplies
competitors for employment in tranfport.iliou,
and fo Veeps tint at its proper level; ami in
times of war, that is to fay, when thofe nations
who may be our principal carriers, (hall be at
war with each other, if we have not within our
fe-lvrs the means of tranfportation, our produce
mull be exported in belligerent veficls at the in
created expcnce of war-freight ami infnrance.
ami the articles which will not bear that, inuft
perifh on our hands.
But it i« a refourcc for defence that our navi
gation will admit neither neglect nor forbear
ance. The polition and circumftancea cf the
United States leave them nothing to fear on the ir
land-board, and nothing to delire beyond their
prefent right s. But, on their fen-board, they
are open to injury, ami they have there too, a
commerce which mull be protected. This can
only be done by poHelfing a rrfpcilablc body
of citizen-feamcn, and cf artifts and ifiablifh
ments in rcadinefs f- r fttip building.
V,Tere the ocean, which is the common pro
perty of ail, open to the induftry of all, fo that
every perfon and veiled (hould be free to take
employment wherever it could be found, the j
United States would certainly not let the ex
ample of appropriating to themfebes, cxclu
fively, any portion of the common (lock of oc
cupation. They would rely on the enterprise
and ailivity of their citizens for a due partici
pation of the benefits of the fea-faring bufiiiefs,
and for keeping the marine clafs of citizens e
qital to their object. But if particular nations
grafp at undue 111 a res, and more cfpecially, if
they feizcon the means c>f the United States to
convert them into aliment for thi ir own
ftrength, and withdraw them entirely from the
fupport of thofe to whom they belong, defen
five and protecting meafures become r.ccefl'ary
on the part of the nation whofe marine refottr
ces are thus invaded, or it will be difarmed of
itsdcfcnce; its productions will lie at the mer
cy of the nation which has pofTelTcd itfelf ex
cliilively of the means of carrying them, and its
politics may be influenced by thofe who com
mand its commerce. The carriage of cur own
commodities, if once eftablilhed in an other
channel, cannot be refumed in the moment we
may difire. If we lofe the fcamen and artifts,
whom it now occupies, we lofe the prifent
means of marine defence, and time will be rc
quifite to raife up others, when disgrace or Ioff
es Ihall bring home to our feelings the error of
having abandoned them. The materials for
maintaining our due fliare of navigation, are
ours in abundance ; and, as fo the mode of u
fi'ig them, we iiave only to adopt the principles
of thofe who tints put us on the defenfive, or
others, equivalent and better fitted to our cir
cumftances.
The following principles, being founded in j
reciprocity, appear perfectly juft, and to offer
no caufe of complaint to any nation.
lft. Where a nation impofes high duties on
our productions, or prohibits them altogether,
it may he proper for us to do the fame by theirs,
firft burthening or excluding thofe productions
which they bring here, in competition with our
own of the fame kind ; felefting next fuch ma
nufactures a3 we take from them in greateft
quantity, and which at the fame time we could
the fooneft furnifh to ourfelves, or obtain from
cither countries; impofing on them duties,
lighter at firft ; but heavier and heavier after
wards, as other channels of fupply open. Such
duties having the effect of indirect encourage
ment to domeftie manufactures of the fame
kind, may induce the manufacturer to come
himfelf into tbefe ftates, where cheaper fubfift.
ene»-, equal laws, and a vent of his wares, free
of duty, tnav enfure him the higheft profits from
his (kill and induftry. And here it would be
in the power of the ftate governments to co-o
perate effentially, by opening therefources of
encouragement which are under their controul,
extending them liberally to artifts in thofe par
ticular branches of manufacture, for which their
foil, climate, population, and other circumftan
c es, have matured them, and fofteriujf the pre
cious eliorts and progrefs of boujcbold inanu
faflure by fomc patronage fuited to the nature
of its objects, guided by the local informations
they poifefs, and guarded againfl abufe by their
prefence and attentions. The oppreflions on
our agriculture in foreign ports would thus he
made the occafion of relieving it from a depend
ence on the councils and conduct of others, and
of promoting arts, manufactures, and populati
on at home.
2d. Whcrea nation refufes permiftion to our
merchants and factors to refide within certain
parts of their dominions, we may, if it fhould
be thought expedient, refufe refidenceto theirs
in any and every part of ours, or modify their
tianfactions.
»d. Where a nation refufes fo receive in our
vt-.Tels any productions hut our own, we may
refufe to receive, in theirs, any but their own
productions. The firft and fecond claufes of
the bill reported by the committee, are well
formed to effect this object.
4th. Where a nation refufes to confidcr any
vt'ffc3 ns ours, w> icli has not been built within
our territories, we fit on Id refufe to confidcr ah
theirs, any veffel not built within their territo
ries.
ith. Where a nation refufes to our veffds
the carriage even of our own productions, to
certain countries under their domination, we
might refuf: to theirs, of every deferiptiou, the
carriage of the fame productions to the fame
i countries. Hut as juftice and good nt-ighbmir
j hcod would dictate, that thofe who have no
| part in impofing the reft rid ion on us, fimuld
j not he the vidirr.3 of meafi.rrs adopted to do
! feat it; effect, it may be proper t<* r.mRn. ,t...
j rrftriction to vt.Tds owned or navigated by an’*
, fnbjeds of the fame dominant power, other
j than the inhabitants of the country to which
j tli. laid productions are to be carried. And to
j prevent all inconvenience to the faid inhabi
j taut1, and to our own, by too Hidden a check
j on the means of trarifportati n, we may conti
; nue to admit the veffds matktd for future tx
i elution, on an advanced tonnage, and for fitch
1 length (*,r tone onh , as may be fuppofed ritcef
I fare to provide ag.'inft that inconvenience,
i lie t ft.ihlithment of feme of thefe principles
I by Gitat-d,iti.in, alone, has already loft us in
i our commerce with that country and its pof
j fv-ftions, between tight and nine hundred vel
fds of near 40,000 tons bin then, according to
ftaft nents from official m iteiials, in which they
hiv,- confidence. This involves a proportion’ll
| i°^ feamen, iitip-wrights, and fhip-building,!
auci is too fniousa lofs to admit fo.bearancc of
tome effecflual remedy.
I tiue we rmtft expert f* me inconvc itr.ee
j in piaelicr, from the tftablifhinent of difcrirr.i*
nati’ig clinics. Hut in this, j-j fo *na iy other
r-ffer, we arc left to dime l.tween t«vo evils.
: Tncfc iiJoMuc’ii'.i.cirs „.c uothiag, wh*n j
weighed syninft the lofs of wcil'h, and 1 >fs rf i
furor, which will follow our ptrfcvcrnnee in the '
plan of indiferimination. When one * it Iliad I
he p revived that we are cither in the lyrtem, «»r ;
the habit, of giving equal advantages to thofe
who extinguifh our commerce and navigation,
by duties and prohibitions, as to tin fc who
treat both with liberality ami juftier, liberality
and juftiee will be converted by all into duties \
and prohibitions. It is not to the moderation ;
and juftiee of others, we are to trull for fair and j
equal accefs to market with our productions, j
or for our due (hare in the Iran (port a! ion of
them; but toourown means of independence,
am! the firm will to life them. Nor do the in.
conveiiiencies of difcriinination merit consider
ation. Not one of the nations before mention
ed ; perhaps, not a commercial nation on earth,
is without them. In our cafe, one diftir.Gion
a'onc will fiifhce. that is to fay. between nations
who favour oui ".oducl ions and navigation, and
thofe who do not favour them. One let of mo
derate duties, fay the prelent duties, for the
tirll, and a fixed advance on thefe, as to fume
articles, and prohibitions as toothers, for the
laft.
Still it nmft oe repeated that friendly arrange
[ ments arc preferable with all who will come in
to them 5 and ihat wo Ihould carry into f:ch j
arrangements ali the liberality and I'pirit of nc- |
commodation, which the nature of the cafe will ■
admit.
France has, of her own accord, prnpofed nc- i
gotiations lor improving, by a new treaty on j
fair and equal principle?, the commercial rela
tions of tlie two countries. Hut her internal I
difturbances have hitherto prevented the profe
cutionof them to effeft, though we have had re
peated a durances of a continuance of the diipo
fition.
Propofols of friendly arrangement have been
made on our part, by the prefciit government, j
to that of Great-Britain, as the meirtge dates: ;
but, being already on as good a footing in law, j
and a better infintt, than the moft favoured na- 1
tion, they have not, as yet, d.{covered any tiif-1
polition to have it meddled with. j
We have no rcafon to conclude that friendly j
arrangements would be declined by the other;
nations, with whom we have fucli commercial j
intcrcourfe as may render them important. Ini
the mean while, it would reft with the wifdom
of Congrcfs to determine whether, as to thofe •
nations, they will not iurccafe exp.irte regulati-1
ons, on tlie reafouabie prcfumptioii that they j
will concur in doing whateverjuftice and mo-!
deration, lhoitlJ be dene.
