OBSRRVATIONS ON .1.11ER1(*.43" TRADE,
EV A NATIVE OF THY. UNITED STATES.

An extensive sad profitable trade is now carried
by revalsippesg foreign goods to European market.,
and
obtaining in exchange other goods, for nor own con-
sumption, which we would otherwise be obliged to pay
for in %twit.. Now, Units. tnerchanto are not allowed a
drawback on exportations, they will only import such
goods as will supply our own demand; and consequent-
ly our lioversiment will low the duty of 24 per rent,
which they now retain, on an immense amount. IVe
shall be deprived of a profitable carrying trade, which
will throw vast numbers of seamen and litany ships out
of esuploe.
Ky making the ditties payable in rash, none but capi-
talists will be able to export ; and the prices on goods
uitl be enhanced is proportion to the interest on the
money annoyed ; and; to crown the whole, an exten-
sive smuggling trade will inundate as with goods,
whereby the 11m-eminent will sot realise near the pre-
sent aunt for duties. The regular importer will not he
able to compete with those who pay no duties, and
people will gradually crane to look on smugaiing a% a
crime ; fur, if these resolutions are carried into effect,
they must pay from their own pockets the deficiency in
the revenue. Then we shall he blessed with internal
taxes, and our boasted freedom from taxation will exist
only in memory. I trust every one wishes well to the
manufacturing interest ; butt have laboured to shew,
that these resolutions, so far from affording them aid,
will produce a contrary effect ; besides beiug of incal-
culable injury to the mercantile enterprise of this nation.
My reasonings may appear incorrect ; but if I suc-
ceed in calling the attention of mercantile men to the
I *abject, it will be a source of satisfaction to one, who is
interested no farther than every American who wishes
I the joeli of bls country. A.
