1e Cen,as for S4O shows the population of these United
sses to be about Seventeen Millions all of whom require
CChing surely they require Food. That Clothing is
n,med yearly and therefore be replenished yearly
"A hence furnished with data for calculation that will
t be questioned We proceed therefore, to show the ex
eat our Home Market for such Goods as are Indispensable
our support 1t is assumed as moderate that the yearly
,ons Clothing of each individual ,chite inhaban from
ad foot and including also the yearly consumption of
essay household Goods may he estimated to average
go Fifteen Millions of Whites, average of $50 each
s3OOO0OO00; Two Millions of Colored at an average of
S each, is $4,000 ,090showng yearly consumption of
Goods the value of 1910 requiring production
dQae Million Of Dollars value of such necessary Goods
every working day Of the year. to furnish Money to buv
hem supply the existing population in S40 1t known
that population doubles every twenty-five years we NAV
therefore assume that in 1865 shall have Thirty Four Nil
lions of Inhabitants requiring yearly supply OF 5000 100000
worth Of Manufactured Goods and in the year $780, ony
Fifty years hence population will have advanced to
ShyEght Millions of Inhabitants requiring yearly supply
Manufactured Goods to the value of 200 600 0oO or
about Four Millions of Dollars for each working day to
supply the consumption of necessary Clothing &c for our
then population This is plain and simple view of the ex
tent Of the omeNlarket of these United States for Manu-
acurcd Goods OF the first necessity present and within
fifty years That such Market presents the most
encouraging prospects for tie 'corksops of Europe will
Otb' Questioned provided only that the policy of Free Trade
can be established in these United States and the existing
Manufactures be destroyed.
To annhilate the existing Manufactures of the United
Ses which already crippled by the operation of the
Compromise Law will be easy eaec,. 1t will
only require the continued ascenancy o Free Trade Poll
rcans r the National Government, tie continued
amidy of those in power who claim be friends Home
Manufactures, whose Aaoay of Protection being
met by timely and continued overowng supply of Foreign
Goods for few years more will do the business The
young Manufactures of the United States WILL under such
operations assuredly be dead-dead-DEAn
There appears be difficulty, however in view OF the
policy of Free Trade for this Country which is hoped
that the wise men who have labore enghten this gene
ration their interests by advocating and defending
Free Trade will direct thor attention. and spread the result
before this nqurng people plainly, that he that runs
read 1t is this We have shown that the yearly
sumption of necessary Manufactured Goods for these United
States is to the amount of Three Hundred Millions of Dol
for the population OF l840 and will continue increase
yearly unit, that consumption will have reached the
Of Twelve Hundred Millions of Dollars yearly within
the fifty years 1t therefore appears difficult to show to
the understanding OF the People of the United States, and
particularly that portion them who do raise Cot
Ion where, supposng the Home Manufactures be de-
sIyoyed, these Three Hundred Millions of Dollars
come from pay for the Goods; and when they look
raising Twelve Hundred Millions of Dollars yearly hereafter,
10 pay for their Clothes rather appalling and will
Quire very plain demonstration their ability procure
Ar.,J Dn1
lars yearly, IN da easier and beneficial rag than
maaa aepre tie Goods themselves If the advocates of
Free Trade for these United States can only surmoun, this
hs difficulty, it would seem plain that the Foreign Manu-
hcrers may reckon Sonfdenty retaining the supply Of
this great Market but if they fail TO demonstrate TO The
People their abundant ability 10 pay, and that Is for
Heir interest TO hare their tcorkShopS Europe il
may be apprehended that their Goods ,cH be ercluded
shogeaer from necessity and that the Foreigner may
thus be compelled transfer his shop his workmen and
Capital Country which sustains him.
These have suggested questions of grave Importance

produce all the Manufactured Goods required for Home
