Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1830-04-16


he Union conscentiously believed that the tariff bore
heavily on them, yet he felt also we'll assured, from
retrospect of the past, that If the laws on this |
subject were even more severe In thcir operation
than lie believed them TO be, this patriotic people
would endure them patiently. Yes, IT the indepen-
dence of the country, the Interests, and, above all,
the cause of the Union required heavy sacrifices,
they would endure them. But whilst claiming no
immunity from error lie felt the most sincere, the
deepest conviction, that the tariff, far from having
proved injurious to the peculiar interests of this sec
ton of country, has been emincntly beneficial. Mr.
Clay asked TO put two qcstons to those interested
in your great staplc--iic would take the common
operations of saIe and of f,urchase; has the opera
ton of the tariff lowered the price OF what you sell:

by the demands has then the consumption of cotton
diminished since the tariff of 1924 Of 1928? No,
it has increascd-greatly increased; and why? Be-
the protection extended to him by this policy
has created n cuStOme, in the American Manu-
facturer who takes 600 900 BALES, without having
lesscned the demand for the European market.
British merchants have found markets for their
fabrics and the competition thus created while has reduced
the price OF the nufacured article has increased the
sumption of the material Again. has the tariff increased
the price of what buy' Take article of domestic
tons for exampehas not the American manufacturers since
tie adoption Of this system, afforded better article and
at less price than before? Take familiar instance
