ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.
♦
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

ask the favour of a small space in your columns
to reply to some remarks made on my personal conduct
and political principles fn the Liverpool Times of Thurs-
day last.
I am charged with making an impertinent attack on.
Mr. William Brown, one of the members for South Lan-
cashire. . Comparisons are odious ; but were I to institute
one on the present occasion, I might have little difficulty
in showing that I am quite as capable of observing and
appreciating the courtesies of life and the rules of good
breeding 'as your contemporary, who displays the refined
elegance of his polished feelings by heading his article
" Currency Quackery", and stigmatising my doctrine as
" currency nostrums". If his readers prefer coarse lan-
guage to logical argument and historical research, he is
eminently qualified for his editorial chair.'
It is not, however, the Currency but the Protectionist
opinions that I have uttered which have annoyed the
Times, and he is driven to the greatest misrepresentations
to sustain the views of his party when writing about our
exports to and our imports from the United States. He tells
his readers that, " in the month of June this year the
city of New York sent to Liverpool 1,237,588 dollars
of produce, and received 3,684,022 dollars' worth of ma.
nufactured goods in the same month."
On this statement, it must be observed, that the city of
New York imports nearly for the whole Union, and from
it the goods are distributed to the Southern, Western, and
Northern markets. The editor of the Times ought to
know this, he ought also to know that the exports from
New York do not represent the exports of the United
States, since New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charles-
ton, including Virginia in tobacco, are the chief exporting
places.
In my remarks on Mr. Brown, which are described as
"impertinent," I used no single word affecting his cha-
racter or position as a merchant ; but I contended that
his commercial interests were diametrically opposed to
those of the county he represents in the British Parlia-
ment—that, in fact, his intereats were as foreign as the
goods in which he deals. I have asked, and I repeat the
question through your columns, whether Mr. Brown has
not declined, for thirty years, giving a single package of
Manchester goods, passing through his hands, to a British
vessel to take to New York ; and whether, when Cunard's
gigantic effort of science took away a portion of the goods,
Mr. Brown did not lead the opposition line of American
steamers, to deprive the British steamers of the advantage
they had acquired ? Unless these questions are answered
in the negative, am I not justified in saying that Mr
Brown is rather the repro

senative of New York than
of South Lancashire ? Has he not been actively
instrumental in reducing the employment of our me-
chanics and artisans engaged in shipbuilding, and also
of British seamen. Certainly, I have no right to censure
Mr. Brown for acting in this manner, as an American
merchant ; neither have I ever done so ; but I have a
right to say, that no man who is American in his pecuniary
interests ought to represent South Lancashire, or Liver-
pool, or, indeed, any British constituency. I will go
further, and declare, that Mr. Brown is entirely in a false
position in giving his vote in the House of Commons on
all subjects which affect our relations with_ the United

States and the best advice of his best friends would
recommend him at once to resign a seat for which, I am
confident, he will never be re-elected ; for even the
patriotism and nationality of free traders, whose love of
country I do not call in question, will withhold the
suffrage once given in error of the real facts of the case.—
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
JONATHAN DUNCAN.
