T he SPEECH of Mr. Smith, of South'
Carolina, in reply to Mr. Madison, on
the fuljeS of the Commercial Regulations.
Mr. Smith said, before he entered in
o a confideratinn oi the arguments of the
(en tie man from Virginia, he (houjd avai'
limielf of the opportunity of correainj
ome m.statements of his own arguments
<Wncn had Leen made by that gentleman.
In that gentleman's speech, he ha.
3een represented as having stated it as
a ?°: to , thls country, that Great Britai.
idmitted our produaions into her Wef
Indies; Mr. Smith said, hehadonlyftat
-d that the exclusion of the produdion
>t all other countries, was * preference K iv
-n to our's, which was not given bv th<
."ommercial system of France. He' wa:
iHu represented by the gentleman, as hav
ng argued, •• That the United State
Might not to complain of the usage o
L'leat Britain, if |i, e l; fed them as wella
Hher nations whereas, Mr. Smith said
us reafonmg went to shew, that her com
nercial system placed us on a better footim
han it did other nations. Again, he wai
nade to fay, by the" gentleman, « Thai
f Great Britain used us ill, {he likewif,
lied every other nation ill, and we there
ore ought to bear it patientlyMr

The propriety of limiting the view tc

Extras of a letter from an intelligent Mer
chant in Charlejhn, S. C. dated Febma
0-2+, 1794.
With respect to the proposed commer
cial regulations, there can be little doubt
that they would have injurious effe&s, in
which ever way they can be viewed
with refpea to an increase of duties
there can be little doubt if a considerable
addition 13 made, that it would not increase
the revenue, as it would try the virtue of
many and have the cflch to introduce
imugglmg ; besides driving many pejfons
from carrying on a trade which must "be
attended with loss ; far, fiom the present
burdens occalioned by the vcrv great ad
ditional expence of freight and insurance,
manyperfuns are holding their hands as to
importations from an apprehension of
grest lofTes in remittances—lt is certain
ly a more proper mode in the nrft inftnnce
to represent the inquiries we have received
and to require redress, than to engage in
ralh measures, which we ate not able to
support ; and if we cannot obtain jufticc
It would be better to decline commerce
altogether, for a time, than to pursue a
conduct which would bring us into expen
ses, which must operate to injure us for a
long time to come.
