He has ornamented our coffee-houfes, and other public places, with maps and plans representing the fame in the moll charming manner, and fills our newspapers with lengthy dissertations on their importance—Being, however, high in his price (for he retails his gmds by the foot and inch) I am apt to think this opulent monopolist, who thus deals in ci ties and towns as Dutchmen do in Gin, will (like Robinson Crufoe on his island) remain sole sovereign of those enchantimr spots." b <tam micth—tf Thursday, February 15, 1794. SOUTH SECOND-STREET, HAVE FOR SALE, elegant AJortmtnt of mw&ftf Ext raff from the Minutrs, JOHN MEASE, CM. DUMFRIES, (Virg.) dated Nov. I, 1793. CONGRESS House of Representatives. January 24. In committee of the -Me on Mr. Ma J Jon's resolutions. Mr. Boudinot's observations concluded. He at length adverted to the refutation before the committee, and said, it confid ed of two parts, one relative to higher du ties, on the manufactures of foreign nations not having any treaty with us, the other to further reftiiaions on the shipping of thole natious : To these, then, Mr. Bou dinot said he would confine himfelf, and thereby greatly narrow the debate. The firft enquiry that obvioully prcfentrd itfelf, in order to determine the effect, is on 'whom will theje higher duties fall ? The general principle agreed on all hands is, that the conlumer pays the duty : The citizens of the United States, are the con sumers; the citizens of the United States, must therefore pay the higher duties. This reasoning proceeds on the fa&, that our citizens purchase the manufac tures. 1 lie articles mentioned, are either ne cefiaries or fuperfluities. If neceflkries, our Citizens must have them : If fuperflu ities, as freemen they will have them, if they choose them ; they will lay out their money as they please, unless reftii&ed by laws founded on the true interests of the nation, But it may be said, that they may be lupplied from home manufaaures, or from nations in alliance with us. The firft cannot be true, as will be evi dent from the present state' of our mani. faftures. The supply equal or bearing any reasonable proportion to the demand, is impossible for many, many years to come. As to other nations, it may fairly be find, with regard to the supply, that France and Holland, are the only nations that can be contemplated. It would be cruel in the extreme, to put France to the ted, under her present critical and d.ltreffing situation. She has called all her citizens into the field: If any can be spared, it must be for the purpose of her agriculture, or the manufacture of arms alone. It would expose her to the charge of inability, without giving her the chance of a fair experiment. Every gentleman on the floor, knows that Holland independently considered, has no possible way of yielding ui a supply. If flie does it, it must be as a medium between Great Britain and us : So that directly or indirectly, we /hould receive the supply from Great Britain, which would evade the intended effect of the measure. The next enquiry is, how will encrea fing the duties on our own citizens, af fe<a the government of Great Britain, so a» to accomplish the desired end ! If their manufacturers obtain their price. If their merchants receive their commissions, how will it affect them, that our citizens pay high duties on the arti cles here, before they are consumed ? It may be answered. By leflening the consumption. By increasing our own manufactures. By encouraging other nations, to cease a competition in our markets. It we judge from past experience, our habits of ceconomy are not such, as will produce this effca, to any considerable purpose. Our citizens seldom refufe gra tifying themselves, on account of a differ ence of fix-pcnce or a (hilling in the yard: If they earn their money hardly, they will spend it at their pleasure. During the late war we know the prices were in creased 100 per cent, yet neither the obligation of law—the love of their coun- try or even in some cases, the risque of life will deter, fiom gratifying themselves in the enjoyment of foreign manufac tures. [Whole No. 512.] The increase of our home manufactures* is a moll desirable objedt, and there waj no gentleman of the committee more de sirous of promoting them, than he was. Bnt this could only be accomplilhed by time. It was a progrefiive work, and was now hastening to perfe&ion, as fall as was compatible, with a due attention to agriculture ; but no gentleman would pre tend to fay, that even' the hope of a com petent supply, was rational, for many years to come; nay he verily believed, that if all the wool of the fifteen States was brought together, it would not af ford a supply of woolens for one date. But it was proper to look to the encou ragement already given to our manufac tures. The importation of the United States, amounted to twenty millions of dollars; ' already laid, amounted to four millions: This on an average, was 20 per cent. This was a very feriousduty indeed, and though principally designed to laife a revenue, yet it also acted as bounties to our manufactures, and when added to the frwght, insurance, commissions and inter- C p? ,d ' b y the importer of foreign ma nufactures, every gentleman mull con clude, that our citizens would not pati ently submit to greater burthens, without the most obvious necefiity. He added, that if the fpecific articles referred to in the resolutions, were individually consider ed, the duties would amount to about 1J per cent, when imported in foreign bottoms; which would be found very heavy on those articles, and fufficient to encourage our home manufactures, con liftently with the ease of the citizcns. Do not these duties already bear a fuffi cient proportion to the capitals of our merchants ? Some gentlemen have objec ted to the easy credit afforded our mer chants in Great Britain ; and yet in the fame breath, are for demanding the small capitals of their own, in duties, and re tllcm l ' le advantage of foreign capi tals, where they can be obtained. He corfcfled he was not convinced of the dan gers arising from public credit, which were so warmly urged by the gentleman from Virginia. When he looked at that gentleman and attended to the zeal he dif covcred, in what he thought so efTential to the welfare of his country, it afforded an answer to every objection, so ably supported by him. The gentleman had acknowledged and lamented the preval ence of credit, and that from Great Bri tain ; in the state he came from, he fai<l it universally prevailed, and had its effeA on the importing merchant : From him to the country {hop keeper, and thence to the farmer, so that the dependance on the merchant in Great Britain, was to be feared through every part of the commu nity, and the mod dangerous influence of English politics was to be dreaded But was there a state in the Union, where the policy of Great Britain was reprobat ed, more than in the state of Virginia > Was not the conduct of that gentleman in the present debate, as well as that of his colleagues, full proof that the credit he complained of did not produce the fa tal effeas he feared ? Was not Virginia the large ft, and if we might judge from her visible capital, (slaves) the richest state in the Union, and yet (he had always been in the habit of unbounded credit, in Great Britain. Mr. Boudinot then reminded the com mittee of the nature of the trade with Great-Britain. Did the Britirti merchant bung his manufa&ures and offer them for sale in this country: No—the American merchant employed the merchant in Eng land to purchase of the manufacturers, on a commifiion of jor 10 per cent. The goods were exported at the risque of the American merchant, and whether the ccr fumer paid a high or low duty on them, on their arrival in this country, was a matter of but secondary conlid'eration to the Brilifh merchant.
