This brings me TO consider what. | appre-
bend to- have been, the most efficient of all
The causes in the reduction of the prices OF
manufactured articles-and that is, Coupe
Triton. BY competition, the total amount
OF the supply, is increased, and by increase
oil the supply, competition of the sale en-
sues, and this enables the consumer 10 buy
at lower rates. Ofall human powers opera
ting on the affairs of mankind none is
greater than that of competition 1t is &C
ilon and reaction. 1t operates between in
dlvldua!s IN the same nation, and between
different nations. 1t resembles the meeting
OF Inc mountain torrent, grooving by its pre-
clpitous motion its own channel, & oceans
tide. Cnopposed, it sweeps every thingbeforc
it;but counterpoised, the waters become calm,
safe 4 regular. 1t like the segment ofa
circle or an arch; taken separately, each is
nothing; but in their combination they pro-
duce efficiency, symmetry, and perfection.
by the American System this vast power
has been excited in America, and brought
INTO being TO act in cooperation or collision
with European industry. Europe acts within
itself, and with America and America acts
within itself, and with Europe. The conse-
quence is The reduction ofprces in both hem
spheres. Nor is ii fair TO argue, from
The reduction Of prices in Europe, 10 her own
presumed skill, and labor, exclusively. We
Affect her prices, and she affects ours This
must always be the case, at least in refer
ence TO any articles as 10 which there is not
a total non intercourse and if our industry,
by diminishing the demand for her supplies,
should produce diminution in the price of
those supplies, it would be very unfair TO
ascribe that reduction TO her ingenuity in
siead OF placing it TO the credit Of our own
skill and excited industry.
Practical men understand very well this
state OF the case, whether they do or do not
comprehend the causes which produce il. |
