''Vhe"n we come io reflect upon the. fact ittit the European market npon the proifuc tiaa of tle sjule article, liou; exercises a ry controllinj; influence upon our market, wt see at once a material difference between tba'4 wo valuation; and the necessity for a home Valuation, obiou. For the power rem with them alone lo reduce the value to her minimum rate, by withholding the sup ply; then as a matter of consequence, n past experience baa proven, the .demand nt our market will fexceed the supply, and llwy wil be enabled to bip their Jirou .ai a low foreign valuation, and mceive a very proiiia 'ble price here ' For the nuke of perspicuity we will suppose that in a healthful and active markAi." fmi'iirn iion U worth 380 tier Ion, a - - ... .duly, any of 40 percent, wunhl mnko it cost here 8113, '(excluding freight and commis sion,! wheri aajn thu sauja irou iniht be shipped with aotaign valuation of 40 per ory wilh-a. corresponding duty, would make it cost otrly $50, excluding freight and coni jmiesiott ,)' which hypothesis is not unrea sonable., when we take into consideration t.hi fluctuation of demand urn! supply. Thu w e Jreroeiv; thai from Ibat very cessation of business they enji a handsome reward, by ihe salutary tsflee-Hfor them) il has upon cur market. W,cau have limited xoiiccnlioii of Unit .advantage, by the extravnunt price of iron uiiJr ihe specific duties of the !42 larifl, wh'ich was occasioned by Ihe comparative prohibition of the importation of that article. When, if it had been entirely excluded from our port, by a refusal on Ihe part of the ship pers to import, we wouli', only bo surprised, in our amazement at ihe exorbitant price, by Ihe-magnitude of the speculation made by the importers, when they would folloi up he advantage of a raised and excited market muted by themselves. ' ..It may be argued. hy thoo wiio can see no difference between a-hoine and foreign valuation, that lb,e act of withholding a sup ply,' .would so pl-ul their ow n market, u lo destroy the business, it wuuhi to some de. jree, have undoubtedly this elTcsct, did they lack the sagacity tu anticipate such a result, and fail lo meet Ihe present demand before overstocking llu-if Tiarkel. Which is nllo fether probable, when thu inducement arc uilit-iciillv real, to invite their every iMl'ort to' ill accomuliishmcnl of this 'nick of trad,-. And thus : when they have so wisely and Tei'tually provided ajiaiiist this eriirrgewy thu will rests with them to icduce it, to Ihe lowest tiomi'nnl value, reua'Uessof ihe telling price, in order lo avail themselves wf Ihe low 'July. And another very considerable pain accru ing from this mode of hipmeut is the surpri sing and almost maairal etlect, the reaction that this vast and sudjeu sliipment has on their own iTuikol, by Ic-iving the supply thert insufficient for the dematid. ,.' If upon a.hume valuation they wish to avail themselves of llio low duty, Ihey do it nt their own expense, because there must be an actual depresiou in Hade, by ihe over stocking of our market, which, seldom, if ever i xiccurs, and never by the pioduclious of our own manufacturers. ' . Then it follows, that the dcpiession is at tributable to the im portal ions only, and the manufacturers of both parlies are losing by 'jt4 consequently the parly causing it will cur tail it sufficiently, to allow a reasonable price and a living protil.
