The New Orleans Baletin has the following remarks
upon the cotton expectation policy:
Our government and people can supply England and
France with motives strong enough to make them do US
justice. There is a natural community Of interests be
tween US and them. They are manufacturing nations,
while we for the most part are agricultural They Want
our raw produce, we their manufactured goods. On the
contrary, between the North and them there is a natural
antagOnism Of interests because all of them have extern
Eve manufacturing interests which are nearly identical
These countries desire nothing so much as an unrestricted
market for their manufactures. We have that market. |
II is now closed to them, and though we are suffering |
from this close almost as much in some respects as they
vet we ourselves impose restrictions upon it in addi-
to those which the enemy hss put upon it We re-
to supply them with the motives within our control
to aid US in restoring the trade between US and them
The rumor from Richmond is that q committee of Con
gress has reported against the suspension of the Confed
crate tariff during the war. We regard this as a grave
mistake, and we hope Congress viii not adopt the report
Df what use is a tariff without eOmmercef Proclaim alb
olute free trade with Europe during the war, and its
Tading nations viii strain every nerve and resort to every
possible means to thwart the efforts of our enemies to
our trade p~aralyZed. We hold out to governments
md people alike by such a measure the strongest induce
nents 70 open communications with u, to disregard an
n~efectual blockade, and to become our friends in fact if
lot in name. Congress may rest assured that it resolve
stick TO a tariff under the extraordinary circumstances
n which the Coufederacy is placed, IL viii 60 contrary to
