From BeiFs Weekly Messenger, .fmg. l0.l
notwithstanding the American Tariff, there APP
pears to be no decline in manufacturing dis
tricts This prohibitory system has been in opera
ton more than six weeks, and yet i'll The cotton,
wooiien, and hardware districts, which contribute
principally to the supply OF American commerce,
there Is no abatement OF activity and speculation.
How Is this! il will be demanded mus, not our
foreign export trade suffer in these articles of man
uiacture which America has so highly taxed? Can
we be expected TO sell as largely, when our goods
! are taxed hundred per cent. when they are
only rated at 80: Our answer is, that high duties
defeat themselves in two ways, and react upon
tiO SOo't'J WHICH imposes tnem. In the ufSt
place, when laid upon necrssaries, or on luxur-s
which have usurped the class OF necessaries. il Is
not high duty which will shut them out of con-
sumption. And secondly, if the duty he too hi gh
Tor lawful traffic. il is generally evaded by illicit
trade Therefore We are pc rsuaded shat in one OF
these ways will British manufacturers flow into
America. That high duty not always incon-
sistent with large consumption see in the ar
ticles oil tea and sugar, both of which are taxed AT
LOO per cent. The American government more
over, is DESTROYS OF raising its whole upon
ITS customs and avoiding the necessity OF imposing
domestic excise. 1t cannot, therefore he the in
tentlon OF the Government of the United State,
to shut out British manufactures, which are the
largest source of its revenue. But whatever the
effect may be, if we can credit the accounts re.
eived from the trading districts, there is nothing TO
apprehend at present;
By way OF retaliation ii has been suggested by
some writers, to impose high duty upon cotton.
Now, this measure we should think most impoiitic
cotton being an element OF manufacture, one oil
the principal fabrics Of British industry, and
brought from America into this country in its raw
and most simple state. Such tax, if a high one
would be most polite We see no objection, how
ever, to taxing American shipping, and laying on d
discriminating duty; that is, much upon cotton
brought in an American vessel; but let the duty be
the same upon COTTON is nov, when brought ia
British ship.
