The O. m the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of th? O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
fiderahly above the range of the whole word-

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.
