Congress of the United States. House of Representatives Wedncfday, January 29, The SPEECH of Mr. Smith, of South- Carolina, in reply.to Mr. Madison, on the fubjeft of the Commercial Regulations. Great Britain the gentleman had aflur ed the commitee, would not dare to con tend with us because we could by onr re gulations turn 250,000 cf her raanufa&u rersout of employ. But would not those regulations and the counter-regulations which might be adopted operate injuriously on a much larg er number of persons in the United States; would not all the owners and cultivators* of land fuffer materially by the loss of the bell market for half of our whole exports ? The evil to Britain would be partial, to us general, depreciating the whole landed property of the country. If there were expected a clamor in Britain whieh was to drive her government into a repeal of her navigation A6t, we ought to anticipate a clamor from our farmers and landholders' wh«n they found their produce rotting in ware houses and were compelled to pay 25 per cent, more for their neceflary supplies. When the gentleman stated the causes of failure of the attempt in 1784 by fe perate states to regulate our foreign com merce he had imputed them entirely to the want of a federal government. But Mr. Smith was of opinion that they_ were principally afcribable to the divcrlity of local interests and habits in the states; did that diversity less exist at this time ? would it not produce similar effe&s and would not regulations which might be pleasing to fame parts of the union prove fa intolerable to othets that they would cease to complain till they could effect a repeal of the grievance. As far as the fact then with regard to past experiments could guide, it was a gainst the proposition ; former regulati ons produced inconvenience and were a bandoned. So jealous were the southern states of this power inlhe hands of Con grefsto regnlate trade, that the delegates of fame of them would not accede to the present constitution until it was llipulated that the consent of two thirds of the Se nate (hould be neceflary to the formation of treaties. It was not however, true that -250,000 British manufacturers would be thrown out of employ': Our fupphes jvouM ilill consist of British manufa&ures, though circuitou'fly' obtained, ps aijitiittcd ,by the gentleman fcimfcTf, and at the dearer rs)tes, ate [Whole No. I.] because we cannot fill the chasm otirfclves, and there is no other country which can. But we are to Jlarvr her Weft-India Iflaiids. Those who felt.an abhorrence at the attempt on the part of the combined powers to reduce the French by ilai ving 1 hem now viewed with composure the pro je£t of reducing the British nation to our own terms by itarving the inhabitants of the Weft-Indies, who at least were inno cent of the charges prefered against the mother country. Mr. Smith was fatisfiec! the American character was not of a na ture to tolerate such a project as that cf Jlarving the inhabitants of the British In lands : The philanthropy of our fellow citizens would urge the repeal of any law producing such dire etfxfts—Nay t[>e member himfelf would be prompted by his humanity to be among the foremoft to re peal it, But the idea was extravagant we want to fell as much as they to buy, if they could not obtain'the requisite sup plies clfewhere, they would go to them cir cuitoujly from us. A pleading picture had been drawn of the benefits which would refidt to our na vigation by a transfer of our commerce from Britain to France. The adual quantity of. our tonnage for a year, ending 30th Sept. 1792, with the different pow ers, Mr. Smith ltuted as follows ; Wuh the dnnmions of France, 8?. s*o thole of C. B> 11 a in, t0.^,8.'. U. 61 .g.;g 28,4^8 Piling 1, s j Btv; Peuniark, 12,116 Swcdrri, i)Bj6 From this it appeared that our aflual tonnage was greater with the British do minions than with those of any other country., except France, and it had been shewn that thie excess was adventitious & temporary. Our navigation with the Eu ropean dominions of Great Britain was 60,889 tons, with those of France only 14,777, that is more than four to me : this difference, he fakl, might be consi dered of a permanent nature, that which was derived from colony advantages as precarious and temporary, because con trary to the geneial principle of the colo nial policy ot all the Europern nations h. contrary to. the very principles of the new French navigation act. The gentlcmau had afcribcd our late in crenle of navigation to temporary causes ; it would, however, be found to be princi pally applicable to our trade with the Bri tilh dominions, and therefore not /o, but the result of our regulations. In thisref. pe&, our ftatementu terminate with the year 1792, a period prior to the effect of any temporary causes affe&ing Britain. It had been said if we transfer our ex ports from Britain to France, we fliall in ert a fJ: our navigation ten-fold : But would a vote of the honfe naake that transfer ? would it create a demand for'our exports in France which did not exist ?' why had (he not taken a greater proportion hither to ? was it not because she had not a de mand for them ? Great Britain, said the gentleman, could not obtain elsewhere the articles with which we supply her. Mr. Smith exa amined this part of the argument, under the different heads. Wood, viz. malts, spars, timber, boards, ihives-—lt was less than thirty years, he observed, since Bri tain derived her supply of those articles almost wholly from other countiics, name ly, Russia, Sweden, Norway and Ger many. The latter, through Holland, supplied the greatest part of Europe with o:ik timber, pipe hogshead and barrel (laves, in which we have less to fear from competition than in refpfft to other arti cles ; indeed without some extra advanta ges, we could not well maintain a compe tition with the countries on the Baltic, in the European trade of wood, owing, principally, to our greater distance, which makes "the freight much higher from this country than from the Baltic: hence, probably, it was that vve fhipptd so little to France. i
