Jeffersonian Republican. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853, 1843-12-28

ted Irow official documents that, 10 tt1enty-one
gears there was balance OF trado against this
country aud in favor of Europe, ofTWO HUN
DRED AND FORTY-SEVEN MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS!
Thirdly. We have demonstl aIed lha, this
large balance OF Foreign Trade mus bs paid in
SpEcIE; for the reason that we have no paper
currency which will be received IN Europe
And we have also shown that this specie must
be taken from The POCKETS OF THE People be-
cause the merchants who sell them goods, will
sell them just so much higher rs specie is worth
more than the paper which the people pay them
for their goods and they will do this for the
reason tha, the merchants are compelled TO
make their payments in such funds, (Which Is
specic,) as will pass in Europe.
Fourth. Without such >ystens Of Tariff as
will preven, the wares OF Europe from sale
here free of duty; without such Tariff as will
tao those wares odundantiy, that tho result must
be TO beggsr llc poor Lahorers and Mechanics
of our own country! Because in Europe much
ol the labor is mere pauper labor, aud the rest
can be had from to~r TO tigeirs pc'scs per day :
and this starving labor is employed in the man
uiac,ure of hats, boots, cloths, shoes, trunks
saddles, paper, Gc. &c. which are also manu-
featured here, and which give To thousands 0f
poor men and women The means of life. Take
as an instance, the FORTY THOUSAND FEMALES
engaged in manufactures in the single STATE of
Massachusetts of the SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
workmen engaged in the single business Of the
Iron Works in the State OF Penn, and the
EIGHTY-FOUR THOUSAND persons dependent on
than for support. If there be no law 10 prevent
The free sale OF European gonds here The pau
per labor OF that country, employed in The man
uiacture OF such goods must thus compete with,
and begear our own labor and Industry engaged
in the sans departments Of Manufacture and
Mechanism.
On The other hand we have shown ,ha, g
proper Tariff will, by The duties imposed upon
foreign goods, create 4 Revenue without taxing
the people,
! Faith That Tariff which shall force Eu-
rope 10 open her ports TO American wheat,
corn, pork, lumber. tobacco, in short, TO Amer
lean staples, will thus create an exchange Of
such staples for foreign goods; and by this
means prevent foreign balance Of trade, and
foreign demand for specie; while il viii raise
The value of the Farmers products 10 degree
which will enable his products TO pay for his
foreign goods, besides commanding for them a
valuable market.
!Sirth. Thai Tariff, (if the policy of Eu-
rope shall persevere as il now ls,) which, by
! highly protective duties upon European manu-
| featured articles. shall so discourage the sale
of those articles as to force this country to man
ulaclure them for herself, will open new and
vast field for the energies of our people. We
/ have shown, that by encouraging home manu-
! features in this way, yasI home market will
| be created for the sale OF the produce of the
| farmers because those engaged 10 such manu-
fac,ures must be FED. In confirmation OF this
we have before inslanced The single Stale oi
| Massachusetts, whose manufacturers in a Stn-
gle gear, purchase and consume products Of the
soil to The AMOUNT OF FORTT-TWO
! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, 10 say nothing
Of the vast consumption of mechanic wares
And while these results flow 10 the iarmar, an
avenue is thus opened for he thousand aborers
Of both sexes which press cur land.
ScUenth We have shown arrayed in favol
Of measure so benl6cient, the names Of WASH
INGToN, JEFFERSON, MADISON, and even O
JACKSON, and OF CAss while we have showE
opposed to il, an Buren,, Calhoun, Buchanan
indeed the whole I.ocoioco party, down TO sucf
Of lis leaders as Nathaniel Vest and T. A
Howard, of Indiana
Now with whom will The farmers go? VIII
that party which desires TO loacer the price o
their products To afford them a European
Market for their staples or home market fo
lhem' or will they go with The FREE TRADE
PARTY who, while Europe closes all avenues
TO the sale OF wheat and corn, &C., will yet in
sisl upon permitting that country 10 sell here
free of duly, thus 10 create a foreign debr, ant
Ihus 10 drain American specie with which tt
pay it!
With whom will The MECHANICS go 2
With the parry which, by the imposition of
r tax. desires 10 PROTECT such wares as THE
manufacture from the competition of the Paupe
labor of the old world or will they 90 witt
the party which proposes 10 suffer a (oreisr
people to food our shores with manufacture
articles at SO low rate as TO prevent The Amer
can Mechanic from fair sales, and thus TO beg
gar him and close his shop in bankruptcy!
With whom will the LABORER go? Wit
that party whose object il is 10 see ure 10 abO
