Congress of the United States*

In committee of the whole on Mr. Madison*

Speech of Mr. Madtfan.
[continued.]
Another charge again ft the Secretary
€>f State is, that his report calls the difcri
rtiinatirrg duties in Great Britain hi favor
of American woody small, whereas they
are considerable* and in fbveral in fiances,
high.
Mr. M. said he had not found Jeifure to
trace this branch of our exports into alt
the details neeeflarv to decide in what de
gree the duties were small or confidcrable,
and in what proportion the several dutied
articles went to Great Britain. He ob
served in general that the greater part of
our woods were exported to the Weft-In
dics, not to Great Britain. That in the
(hip-woods, at least the Baltic nations wertf
not iivali to the United States. It wa*
known thai Sweden and Denmark were
so deficient in oak, that their public navies
were supplied from Germany, and that
the (hip timbers of Ruflia were tjanfporu
ed a thousand or twelve hundred miles from
her interior dominions. The fir, of which
the Swedi(h and Dani(h merchant ship*
were built, does not lad more than feverc
or eight years, and could not therefore
be a rival to the durable wood* of the
nited States*
He observed also ffiat timber, and par
ticularly the (hip woods of this country,
were so precious and so sure of being iiv
demand, that they never could fear a ri
val, or need a foreign bounty. This was
an article very different from such as were
an annual product of the earth: and as
could be raised wherever the climate and
foil permited, according to the occasional
demand. The forefts that were to sup
ply the /hip-yards were the growth of
centuries, and where once destroyed, as
they generally are in Europe, are rarely
replaced at asl r and never can become the
rival to America, which enjoys them a»
the spontaneous gift of nature.
To enhance the merit of the Briu'fh
regulation, the gentleman had told us,
that wood was fubjeft to a duty of i per
cent, in the French I (lands, and in the
Britilh free, with a prohibition of other
foreign wood. This was of little conse
quence. The duty was a trifle, and fal
ling on a ncccfTary article to be got no
where else, probably was paid by the
French I(landers. And the prohibition l
was ideal, the American wood being the
only resource for the Britifti market.
The article of Fish, was admitted by
the gentleman himfelf, to be more favor
ed' by the French than the British fyflem,
though he admits it with relu&ance and
diminishes the difference as much as pos
sible. The cafe however is so clear, and
the facts so palpable, that they speak for'
ihemfelves. Under the French regulati
ons, this important article of our com
merce, is fubjeft to duties only r in Europe
and the Weft-Indies. Under the British,
it is under prohibition in both. The a
mount of the whole exports is 383,237
quintals of dry, and 57,424 bands of
picklcd fifTi. Of this the French eonfump
tion, is 2 2,1" 1 quintals and 45* 164 bar
rels ; that is, nearly § of the dry, and 4-e
of the pickled fifh.
Here Mr. M. proceeding to the fubjeft
of whale oil, called the attention of the
committee particularly to the representa
tion and language of Mr. Smith as to the
the conduit of France, in inviting the fifh
ermen of Nantucket to remove and fet
tle at Dunkirk. Mr. Smith, he fold, had
not only undervalued the monopoly of
the French market granted to-the United
States, but had, by a mutilated quotation
of a report of the secretary of State on the
fi(heries, changed the true afpeft of the at
tempt to draw away the- Nantucket fifli
ermen. The faS was, that although- tfce
