RES PEC I'Fl-LLY SHEWKTH: That being convinced that the Protect ing Duly System has been and would continue to be pernicious to the United States, your Memorialists respectfully submit to the consideration of nor Hon orable Uody the following observations it) relation to it: W HE I'll Ell a freedom of exchanges or commercial restrictions, will most ad vance the prosperity of nations whether an erroneous policy by one nation, re qtirt's an erroneous policy by another whether economy or avaritc suggests the idea of transferring capital from many occupations, to one whether justice de cides that n portion of the labor of the poor, ought to be appropriated by laws to the use of the rich whether the limit ed powers over persons and property delegated to the federal government, embrace tin* internal power of regulating •he interests of manufacturers and agri culturists ami whether such a construc tion of the federal constitution would not include ati internal power over all occupations, and subvert all the restric tions designed to establish a division of powers between the federal and state go vernments; arc questions too extensive fort he limits of a memorial, but snlkcicnt ly important to h suggested to the wis dom ot Congress. The present tariff was modelled by the mingled. nnsideratinu* <>f raising revenue, and encouraging manufactures. The re linmuir.Sj I It Ml llir treasury and the bounties it bestows, in to tin* pockets of capitalist manuku-tiin r*. E’tlier as public revenue nr private b the ho e wh ti the duties wer* inflicted. Qm-.wl fe- t ol this diminution in the ability to t>ay, must be a diminulion of revenue because it the whole duty is continued, it will compel the payers to retrench their consumptions ami Ihe value of the homi lies bestowed upon manufacturers, being doubled by the doubled value of tnomy, they would tinder the present tariff, re ceive a pecuniary encouragement worth twice as much, as that which was origin ally bestowed. If therefore, one halt of the duties imposed by the existing tariff were taken off, the oilier half would eon stilute the same real burden upon tliena lion, and the same real boimlv to man* lifacttirers, intended to be established by (lie representatives of the people. To this eventual augmentation of taxa tion, w it lmu l ihe concurrence of Congress, the public distress is owing in a great degree and the question is, whether Ihe evils inflicted by unforeseen circuinstan ces, ought to be alleviated or increased by the representatives of tlie United Slates. In fact, whether the bounty to man ufacturers ought t»> be quadrupl'd by law, because it has been doubled without law*. The protecting duly system, in its exist ing degree, lias hern already fell by the people and by the treasury. By dimin ishing the importation of commodities, it lias already chilled commerce, and reduc ed the prices ol nnr native productions, _i I individuals from one occupation to ano •her, are moreover, universally the mode resorted to for imposing loudens on u great majority of nations, to (osier some exclusive interest. They constitute an eleemosynary system lor enforcing the i poor to give alms to the rich and in ev j cry form are the elements by which free K verntncnis itr«- made oppressive. I lie mercantile, naval, and agricultural occupations, are all discouraged tty res trictioiis itp-.n commerce,and mu-d dwiti die or ffottrish in conjunction. The agri cultural supplies the basis of commerce the mere until imports the commodities w hich jiK’roa-e tin* value of those lor ex portation and both supply the freight? and wage® .which nurture the naval occu. ttalton, nar seamen, and provide tin ine tns for maritime defence In the urn ted prosperity ot these occupations con sists national prospt*rit\ itself and then tree efforts are tin ample equivalent for tin* expense of consumption. Ile-cNporlati n.s ought not to ho forgot t> ij. They extend commerce, increase seamen and. shipping, and produce a mer caufile profit. Single towns have ofleli acquired opulence by being depots of to. reign manufactures,and the more prospe rous this branch of commerce is, the more the capital of every- comnninily is aug mented. Mercantile intelligence, proii* ing by commercial liuetuatioas anil cir cu instances, frcquenlly derives proti? from circuitous exchanges, and sometime? can undersell tlie fabricators themselves, ll is insufficient to urge, that prohibitory or protecting duties will not destroy thi? branch of our commerce, because they are not paid on n exported com modi ties. The fad is, that no considerahh surplus ol these commodities are ever ini ported, except from the inducement of a double maiket that tin y are invited by t freedom of trade, and repelled In lo a restrictions; and that the freer the port, the more extensive and piolilabtc this blanch of commerce will become. A lice commerce is like a tree govern incut. Either, isolated amidst cummer dal restrictions ov political oppressions, limuishew beyond its neighbors by for Im ariug to imitate their errors. 'I hr I laiise i owns at one period almost absorb r<1 the trade anil wealth ot Europe, lie cause co miner re was every where else -objected to prohibition^ and restrict i« 11s 1*com all tlio.se sources of national wealth, the protecting duty system imtk-1 deductions which (all chiefly upon tin poor, because the coarse and necessary articles of domestic manulaclute. ;m consumed principally by them. Hut n i; said that the tax thus inflicted upon ll c poor of ail other occupations, goes to ib< relict ot poor manufacturers. Tin- fact would not be a justification of (he policy but even that is denied. The price o labour is regulated t>y circumstauc-. winch bounties cannot control If v bounty was given to seamen .lavigatim mercantile vessels, their employers woof compute the boiiutv as a portion of tin wages, and continue to regulate them by a comparison with the price of labour it other occupations. In like maimer,: bounty to the workmen or navigators o manufactories, must settle in the pocket* of their employers, even il it was paid to the workmen themselves but when it i? aUa lied to the goods sold by their em ployer.-, the chance ot the workmen u receive any portion of it is so-very feeble dial no symptom of such an effect lim ev»r bien observed, in England. A.i< thus the protecting duty system impose: a tax upon the poor of all other occupa ions, which will be received by tbeiich o the Hianufiictuiing occupation. Il lias been supposed, that in a horn trade between manntacturers and agri culturists, two capitals are retained whereas cne is expoited by the purchas of foreign manufacturers. But the trull of this idea is also denied. No capita is lost by the purchase of manufactures it is onlv exchanged, and both parlie may profit by the exchange.
