From tiif. National. Intelligencer*
7o the Cul"va,orti, the ('aftitalixf* and the
Manufacturer* of the U. S.
No. 4.
The obvious 'endt-nev of the present sys
tem ol the In I gerent powers is —
1st. To decrease or rather o destroy the
pr li's of the ig icnlturc and land of the U
Tided States h> preventing the sales of our
in dnr.e in so ne foreign countries, and bv
loading ’hose -ales with various heavy and
debasing charges in other foreign conn
| M ies.
2dly. To enhance the ro¥t of American
[supplies by preventing their transportation
hither from some countries, anil bv increa
sing the charges, equally heavy and ileba
sinpj, »»♦ that transportation from others.
The natural efforts of the American ca
pitalist (both in land and in money) and
of our manufacturers, and even of our cir
cumscribed merchants, are to buy, raise and
I manufacture.American produce and cousu
niable articles.
Dutch Geneva, French wines, taflia,
brandy and perry, Italian wines. Stianis'
wines and brandies and the wines of Portu
gal, are occasionally prohibited or seized or
dutieil under color of a licensed trade by the
belligerents. Wisdom teaches us then tobtew,
to distill, to plant orchards, and even to be
gin to prepare our own vine covered hills.
'File fine cloths of Engl tod are advanced
more than one hundred per cent, upon the
prices of 1790 Those of France 8c Holland
are prohibited by English usurpation, and
those of Britain by French usurpation. -
Fhe manufacture of cloth in Spam is
destroyed or suspended.-The Merino
sheep are straying tnvuugh the wo; U1
to us and all nations -In England
they were sold in the veai 1790. nr the most
excessive prices: even 800/ ami 1000/. ster
ling, have been paid there tor the use
ot a single breeder for a single year. In
Ami rica, they have been procurable on va
rious terms, at the highest for less than a
quarter of rhis sterling money for the full
price of the finest ram, as the momentary,
occasional and highest cost of the animal.
The carding of wool has become an opera
tion of the utmost facility by water, cattle
or steam The spinning is done by water,
and horse and steam. The steam engines
have been introduced, improved and render
ed familiar. The manufactory of cloths in
private families has been much improved.
Chemistn has thrown prodigious light upon
the art of dying in E trope and America.—
1 he stocking loom lias been greatly impro
ved, as also the dressing ami fulling of stock
ing wi hs for hosiery and for a new, curious
anti excellent species of woollen cloth.
I he convulsions of Europe have driven
hither every description of artist employed
in tlie woollen manu.actory Sheep-skins,
lormerly an « IT11 often left to rot, or only
used to tnake glue, cannot now be procured
in sufficient quantity tor the skin dressers,
book bidders, wool card makers, glovers,
8cc. a great saving or rather profit to the
sheep_raiser, on whom the initiations of
llip .- .1.. ....... 1 'I'l. . IT
iS’ates are intelligently bent i n the increase
i of sheep as well the heavy fleeced sheep its
the /itie fleeced sheep. Kvery kind of sheep
is mused, prop’gated and spared o pro
curefine wool and much w • »|. The Me
rino and other breeds aie secured and can
not ever he lost. l"he mixture of our re
dundant cotton, aid-, the woollen manufac
ture. The two branches work well toge
ther-a g’ eat and peculiar advantage in
the clothing business of the United States.
Th€ women weave tn many pans of Ame
rica. and may be happily taught to weave
in all the states. The increase of manufac
ture® gives women full, safe and profi able
employments, which formerly they had not.
It is estimated by the Sec re ary of the Trea
sury. that our family manufactures exceed
in value forty millions of dollars per annum,
in the woollen, tl ixen and cotton branches
alone. It is plain and certain then, that our
army, navy and militia, in any possible war,
Ct uld he supplied with clo htng, far below
the high costs of the late revolutionary w ir.
'1’he importance of our clothing manufac
tures is manifest and great. Their increase
is rapid and incessant. The household
branches alone, at 40 millions, are worth
double the value of ad o ,r exports at the
adoption of our preset ble-sed union and
constitution. All our ordinary stock of wool
is consumed in manufactures, and till we
can procure by our import trade ; and by all
the foreign breed of sheep. Tin great tf
forts of. the farmers, to firoclucc wool, do
not keep pace with the increasing demand;
and lienee the prices of wool keep well up
and for the bes- pat ments. Such are the
new advantage- of he American woollen
manufacture. Shall ve then t he tobacco
robe dutied. plundered, rtj c id, restrict
ed or excluded. acco. ding to their criminal
will, by foreign gov mments, or shall wc
decrease it ard raise more sheep, procure
more and better wool, and pi ovule a mar
ket at home, free from injur,, insult and
vexation, by the indu-try i our women and
children and the power of machinery, wirh
a little aid from regular and sktluil male
manufacturers ?
Is it better to get from 45 to 150 cents
per lb. for wool at a sure American mark
et,or to raise tobacco to he plundered, da i .
ed or driven from port to port, in distant
seas ? Let us consul' r w> ll the past course,
the present condition and the apparent pros
pret of our cultivation and sales of tobacco,
and all other productions. Let us Consider,
on principle, whether L is not better olten
to avoid articles of mere foreign capricious
Consumption, the sales of which must be ef
feited under all the disgrace anti evils of
these times on the ocean ; and to raise or
t,*’ract from the earth hemp, ft x, cotton,
word, leather, iron,copper, lead, Stc.toarm,
munition anti clothe our soldiers, sailors and
militia, and to provide for the raiment of our
families, and for the furniture of our houses
Let us observe well >he state of Rhode Is
land. With wool, flax, hemp, and leather
of her own, she demands the iron and hemp
of the ftaltic and of her southern sisters, for
her manufacturers, and the cotton of Viigi
nia, Carolinas, Georgia and the western
states for her fire ^eminent cotton mills. In
that state there are already erected a num
ber of cotton mills to card and spin, equal tn
one f ir every township, and her enterpris_
