las in Kentucky ani Ohio, much is also water
rotted And there is not doubt, that, IT protec-
ton be given, enough could be obtained for all uses,
both maritime and manufacturing. The quantity
Required was not so very great-a yard OF bagging
weighs only pound and half. So that, allow
ing four millions OF yards to be made, only six mil.
lions of lbs weight Of hemp is needed. But there
is another improvement lately discovered in the
preparation of it, by which the necessity of both
-rotting and water rottlng is completely done
away wth-and that's, by suffering it to remain
one year in stack; process takes place which
renders the hemp, at least in texture and appear.
ance, equal to any of the Russian. Besides all
which, late Improvements have been introduced
into the dressing, which supersede either rolling
or stacking.
Mr. Clay then went into a calculation to shew
that the estimate OF the rate per cent. stated by
some OF the gentlemenin opposition, was incorrect.
But what, sir, is the principle on which the gen.
tleman from Pennsylvania means to go? He will
protect our manufactures as soon as we are able,
without protection, to 20 on with the manufacture
Sir protection comes FIRST in the order OF nature
II is WHALE thing ia in feeble infancy that il needs
protection. IT the gentleman is going TO wait till
the American manufactures, operated against by
the legislation ct the universe-opposed by foreign
goyernments-ressted by foreign capital-com-
bned against by foreign companies, and towns, and
cllles IN every part oil Europe-sball, unaideu,
attain to strength and vigor before he will protect
them, he will never have The opportunity, or, if he
have, his protection will be as thankless as ii will
then be unnecessary. Sir, it not only can happen
but it has happened-Dundee and Inverness have
driven America of the field. They Frustrated US
in 1916 and 1917, and they had the undisputed
monopoly OF our whole market till 1922, and they
knew how to use it too.
But this may happen even where there is no hos.
tile design against our establishments. he maj ket
failing him in Europe, the European manufacturer
hnds an accumulation of goods upon his hands and
this is the market in which he has the bt st chance
10 dispose of them he pours them into our aut ton
rooms, and the effect Just as banefu as if it were
lone out OF the most determined hostility. Gentle
men seem to wish this state OF things TO continue
hey would leave the monopoly where il is--leaye
is dependen, on little Scotch town. We, sir. /
wish to destroy that dependence by setting up an
Ans rican competition.
Mr.. Z. here referred to letter from person of
competent information at Lexington. which stated,
N the revival Of manufactures, in 1922, a million oil
ards 81 bagging had been made there, and had re.
uced the Scotch price from so to 20 cents.
