mentiur.ect experses.
I have lately read in a newspaper aid a power-loom perfects a
, piece of calico in two days, of - - 52 yards.
One girl of 12 years of age superintends two power-
looms; thus six times 62 yards are made in a week 312 yards.
Multiply by 52 weeks in the year - 52

and we im-

624

Thus two power•lonm: make - 16,224 yards.
We are informed that in one funny near Mac-
clesfield, there are 230 poser looms ; multiply the
produce of two loon: by 115

01 .140

Total yards produced by one factory in .a year,
having only 115 girls to superintend the looms, fa
addition to workmen - . 1,865,760 yards.
Consider what a sum it requires to erect a factory, and to make a
mill race for water power, or to establish a steam engine. Then
to have machinery to spin thread and power looms to weave.
After this, a capital must remain to purchase cotton and to pay
operatives their weekly wages. and to continue producing cloth till
retail purchasers can pay fur goods received.
Should heavier duties or prohibitions be granted by Compete., o
exclude all competition, the question arises, have we capitals to
accomplish our wish thr home supplies? bet k be remembered,
that, during the war, all the banks fearlessly made loans, and did
not require repayment ; but that, since the resumption of spedie
payments, they have ruined many enterprising manufacturers by
curtailments.
Advert to the two pictures presented by the Philadelphia Society
for the promotion of National Industry, which, to use their expres-
sion, " ralatl a contrast appalling to every friend, not merely of
this country, but of human happiness.
" Our situation at the close of thy war.
" Our present situation."
This contrast excited shuddering, similar to that which the
Queen of Denmark betrayed when Hamlet presented to her the two
pictures of her deceased std living husband.
I agree with you, that Congress, by timely protecting lows,
ought to have checked the inundation of foreign manufactures, but
you will, I trust, acknowledge. that the reduction' of our currency

and aggravated the experienced eldseltleh..
