Mr.. Editor,
The very extraordinary report OF the
committee of WAYS and Means, which has been Cir
cuIaed with 50 much industry, is completely con-
tradicted and disproved by the following statement Of
the situation of the cotton manufacturer in Philadel.
phia, by which, whoever wishes to decide correct
ly may perceive the great superiority of the home
aartet, the foreign one, both as it regards the
the Improvement of the country, the producing a
6odg Of consumers, by which alone the industry OF
the former can be improved, and his labor COM
pensated by a just and reasonable remuneration
and the comfort and prosperity Of the manufacturers,
as we'll every class Of the people, rendered more
prosperous and happy, and be better promoted, al
though the committee have assumed as fact, thai
it is only the exporting trade, that enriches the
country.
he leading principle ofthe committee, is, tina
the wealth OF "A nation cannot be increased, by IN
" creasng the price ofits productions, except those
(which are exported to other countries thai
therefore, no addition to the wealth the country
can be made by introducing manufactures the
$ manufacturers may increase in wealth. but that i
only transfer from the pockets OF one portion o
= the community to another. If they could expor
. any of their manufactures to other countries, tn
profit on the exported goods would be an add
ton to the wealth of the country, but the expec
tation of such expectation is illusory." See re
port, page lG, &c, 81.
The following report of the number ofhand loom
employed in the city of Philadelphia, for weayn
cotton goods is taken from the certificate othlrtee
of the most respectable members, and was furnish
ed to amenber Of the Pennsylvania society for prt
noting domestic manufactures, and is published !

1t is, on the basis of this report, that will no.
proceed TO prove. that the home market is the test
all mark the facts ndisputabe, and lnvit
the special attention OF the farmer TO it, as his ow
experience and knowledge will shew him the s.
ptistrg of the committee, and may to the turner's
the NJ iddle and Western states, be lesson OF eoi
tion how they listen to those representatives wi
have lent themselves to support such doctrine
which instead ofleading to any practical good, mu
render their situation ten times 7Dorsc than it is
present, whereas, if they steadily and consistent
support the system, as exempifed in this report, II
SPREADING of this system, will in short space
time, open to them ncr and increasing mark'
which will promote their real and permanent int
rests and render them independent of torel
market altogether. Read farmers, and judge and
eide for yourselves.
