STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE !MAIL '
SlR—Some one has said, " The people require Weep,
and not words :"—to declaim, then, merely on the subject
of their distresses, without presenting some means of
-alleviating them, would be a work of supererogation ; and
therefore, at the risk of being held rash and incompetent
by those to whom my remedy may be unsuitable,' I pro-
ceed to describe it, according to my promise.
It appears to me, that we must make up ouisincis to
comparative high money prices, if we would again flourish
as a nation ; otherwise, the general frame of society will
soon be totally disorganised.
Power-loom machinery being the most active and for-
midable competitor of hand labour, must be assailed ; slid
the first measure should be to impose such a tax as
would secure to the domestic weaver the monopoly
of the home market. A duty of Id. per yard-, or
something less, on power loom cloths, I have reason
to believe, would raise the wages of the operative to a
rate that would assure to him a decent maintenance.—
The consumer would not feel this trivial addition, even if
ignorant of the blessings it restored. A drawback might
be granted of three fourths of the amount of the duty, I
on the exportation of the cloth that had previously paid
the 'eame should that protection be found necessary.
I see no Objection to the allowing of a limited compen-
sation to the owners of such machinery as should be
forced to abandon its employment. I say limited—be-
cause it is notorious, that it yields to them but a small
return actually in their over-trading speculation., end''
might also have foreseen the consequences of large ,
tale engrossing, or rather annulling, the privileges of na-
tive industry. The difference between the drawback and
the duty might be applied to pay the interest of the in-
demnity so granted. It is the current opinion that our
manufacturer, unless supplied by mechanical power, can-
not contend against the foreigner : it is on this account a
drawback is proposed; but I hold it to be one of our
greatest delusions, artfully fomented by private interest.
The present low and ruinous prices of goods are cited
in proof of this ; but the undeniable truth is, that'
it is not the competition of foreign manufactures,
but of our own, that occasions the glut that over-
powers the demand. At another time, when it suits
the argument, we are surfeited by assertions of the
superiority of our manufacturing powers ; no doubt
they are considerable in every respect, and will defy ri-
valry to a certain extent. It is, in my opinion, quite a
practical question ; and that, provided (as I have stated
before) we can buy, we may always sell. The value of
our cotton cloth exported is also greatly magnified. In
most parts of Europe it is excluded, from policy, or re-
jected as unsuitable. In North America it is taxed to
prohibition, and South America and Brasil alone are the
chief consumers : but our own colonial dependencies take
the greater part. I cannot, however, understand why we
should set so high a value on an export trade which yields
no profitable return. The merchant declares he sells
under prime cost : the manufacturer scarce recovers the
raw material : and the operatives, who finish the goods in
their various details, receive scarce human subsistence.
Is it in these results that we are to obtain a recompense
for the just and equivalent prices that might be derived
from our home and colonial consumption? Is such a
commerce worth such a struggle ? My conviction is, that
the effectual foreign demand would increase, rather than
diminish ; but it must also be remembered, that the raw
matesiel is not of British growth. It is not my intention
to tramples farther.os the attention of yaw seadem. Cow
curing entirely with the statements of Mr. WISTRIIII,
as set forth in his Third Letter, just published, on the
advantage of high money prices, repetition is useless. I
shall only add a defensive system must bs adopted, with
caution and judgment, for the preservation of our ship-
ping trade, and the leading manufactured commodities
of the country, by a check being imposed on foreign
competition. The entire revival of our well-being and
prosperity will then be consummated.
ULYSSES.
A special meeting of the Governors of the Scottish
Hospital was held in Crane-court, Fleet-street, on Wed-
. needay, when a motion having been made for confirming
the minutes of the last court, Mr. Hume moved an
amendment for the . immediate appointment of a Com-
mittee, to enquire into the funds of the charity, which
was negatived by a majority of five ; the number being
for the amendment 22, against it 27. Without confi-
dence in the due administration of its funds, no charitable
institution can possibly flourish. It must, therefore,
prove a matter of deep regret to every friend, not only of
this valuable establishment, but of humanity at large, that
the motion of Mr. Hums was not acceded to, or that if
. doomed to fail, it was not rejected by a triumphant ma-
jority sufficient to dissipate all doubts, suspscoon, and
discontent, which may be entertained by so large a por-
tion of the meeting. Considering then the nneatidsolemy
state in which the question is left by so class &aikidos,
the result may be regarded on the part of the oppaments
to enquiry less a victory than a defeat. They are moth
mistaken if they suppose the public will attribute difr
opposition to conscious rectitude and loftiness of spirit
that would not allow even the possibility of a mospidia
there could be any thing wrong in the management or
the charity. Wherever there. Is mystery ind cowed.
meat there will be suspicion and mistrust.
The Duke of Orleans and his sister lately received
a notice from the Commissioners of Crown Lands, silk*
to pay annually a duty equivalent to the fourth pawl
of the restates which were restored to the Do
Dowager, their mother, in 1814, or to surrender than
up to the Crown. The estates in question were
originally bestowed upon the Count de Unions, by
Louis the Fourteenth, as a reoompence far the services
which be had rendered that Monarch. In 1750, the es-
tates were purchased by the Duke de Penthievre, whose
daughter was Duchess Dowager of Orleans. .In 1794,
all the possessions of the House of Orleans came under
the national sequestration. In 1815, Inch of these
possessions as had not been " nationally sold,"
were restored to the Duchess Dowager of Orleans, and
amongst them were the estates in question. The pre-
sent Duke of Orleans and his sister appeared against the
citation to pay the Crown land tax on the grounds—
first, that the property was not Crown bald property, and,
therefore, not inalienable from the Crown ; and, secondly,
that having been in quiet and peaceable possession from
1814 to 1828, the claim of the Crown had lapsed. The
Counsel for the commission contended, that the legal
maxim in Franco bad always been, that Crown Lodi wore
inalienable. This principle was consecrated by the sdi*
of 1607, which declared all theSp
estates of Hears IV.
