that the trade TO those Islands Is value
count Of the productions of British Continental America
entering them duty free, and coming into competition with
those Of The United States heavily taxed Now il must
be very clear that Canada, Sc hold competition
with the United States in the production sale OF some
ofhe valuable elements OF this trade-Inian corn
Tor example, The climate of Canada is too cold for this
valuable article OF export In the sale of Indian corn them

with British Continental America. The same thing NAV
be said of many other articles which might be enuner
ted And does not the con,iguy Of our States to those
Islands, 20 towards placing on am eouaty with the
nhabitants OF Canada Sea Must not the difference in the
price OF ireghts to those Islands be very great between
Quebec and New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore, Norfolk.
Sc And canno, the production OF the elements OF this
trade be effected at less expense in the United States than
IN the British possessions TO the North, still further

head, let New Orleans, Norfolk, Baltimore and other sea-
ports, the corn growers OF Virginia. Maryland and North
Carolina, the producers and dealers in lumber and live

&C. &clct these Interests say, decide. But even adj
uniting all that Mr. Clay in disparagcmen of the ac
QUESTION, with what decency he lind fault with
treaty which he himself would gladly have madc.
And here let be remarked, that Mr. Clay seeks in vain
10 screen himself from ccnsure, rejecting the terms prof
Tered by England by insisting the fact, that previous
administrations had done the thing Previous adj
ministraons certainly deserve credit for insisting on
terms which were ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. howe yer hirl
can never Justify error But how great the folly of
insisting on terms upon which Great Britain had and
over again declared TO previous administrations that
utterly impossible to suffer any nation trade with her
islands, BY the bye let il be remarked that prcyos adj
illustrations had some redecming qualities plead in ex
tenuaton OF occasional repeat the declaration that
the terms insisted on by MeSsrs Clay and Adams were
unreasonable With what Proprety could they insist on
trade for the United States with those Islands on other
terms than those offered by the Act Parliament july
1922 to all the nations of the world the only conditions
on which Great Britain willing TO base the foreign
trade OF her West India Islands, We had no right to cS

truly farcicalLet US compare the which Gen
Washington instructed Mr.. Morris TO conclude treaty
with Great Britain on the subject OF the West India trade
with those insisted OH by the late administration.
Gen. W. insisted on the PriVIsge-(ycs, horrible TO
relate tho Privilege of carry ing the productions of the
United States TO those islands in our own vessels and
bringing in return the productions of those islands TO our
own ports Gen. w. set up such claim that con-
tended Tor by the late admnsra:ionthat the produce
tons of the United States should enter those islands en- the
same terms with the productions of the continental nos
sessions OF Great Britain in America. What can
did man will contend that there any analogy between
The reasonable and proper demand of Gen. w. aud tho
unreasonable and improper demand of the late admnisra
ton! Gen. Washington never pretended TO deny TO G;
Britain the right OF making discrimination in her ports
between productions and those of her continental pos
sessions in America Gen. w. instructed Mr. Nor
rs TO refuse that trade ii productions were not admit
ted into those ports on the with those of
British Continental America. Has Mr.. M'Lane done
all that Cen Washington desired Mr. Morris TO do Has
he not III the very language of Gen. W. himself as Quoted
by Mr. Webster secured 'he Privilege of CARRYING our
productions in vessels these islands and bringing i'm
