A FEDERALIST. For the Gaxitti or the United Statu. PHOCION—No. XXII. \ len, WE (hall now examine the tendency of the rem. mercialmeafuris, which Mr. Jefferfon recommended ■> l ''*> toeongrefsin his report. — In the 17th page he fays, "Where a nation : imposes high duties or our productions, and pro- 1 hibits them altogether, it may be proper to do the ' fame by theirs, firft burthening or excluding those ' productions which they bring here in competition with own of the fame kind ; f-leCtmg next such manufactures as we take fiom them in great if! ' quantity, and which at the fame time we could the 1 ' soonest furnith to ourselves, or obtain from other ' countries, imposing on them duties lighter at firft, 1 but heavier and heavier afterwards, a* other chan- 1 nels of supply open." He had pievioufly dated, c that Great-Britain did impose high duties on some F of our productions, and prohibited others altoge- 1 ther: he afterwards stated, that Great-Britain was 1 unwilling to enter into any friendly arrangements ? ! with us. The propositions introduced by Mr. Ma- '' difen, of which citizen Fauchet fays Mr. Jefferfon ? was thereal author, and which were in faCt a com- " ,r [fi mentary on the report, were direCtly aimed ,at the w manufactures of Great-Britain. 3 ed- Had it been true, that Great-Britain had bur- •*e dened our productions in the maaner stated in the J e i'at reprrt, we should have been warranted by juflice, ec» and the principles of [elf protection, in reciprocating n en- burdens on their manufactures, and we should have 0 al been warranted by policy also, could we have found Ci Jc " a fubflitute for their manufactures. But inafmucli d '■an jas the commercial system of Great-Britain, so far f of j from exhibiting those hidious feature/ which the re- ' r to port had pourtrayed, was found, on examination, tc er- to be at lead as friendly to us as that of any other ' e ?as country, the meaftire was condemned by juflice; and ces inafmueh as we could, at that time, find no pofiible i» fubflitute for the British manufactures, it was also >d, condemned by policy. P« ir- j There could be only three sources of supply ,l 'as to this countiy of the manufactures annually con- Bl ™ fumed—the United States,Great-Britain & Franee. fa if-1 1 he- United States manufacture but little. Manu- I" at faCtures cannot thrive to any extent ia a Country 8r lly I like this. Mr. Jefferfon, in deprecating their exif- to '0 I tence among us, gives himfeff fufficient reasons, in ie- J his Notes 011 Virginia, why they cannot ptofper. he Experience has fanftiooed his doCtrrae. The cloth in en manufacture in Connecticut, the cotton manufac-' 0,1 11- J ture at Paterfon, notwithstanding the auspicious ay patronage under which the latter has been fortcred, " ig and varies other attempts, have all failed j aud * r ie. this will universally be the cafe, until, as Mr. Jcf. *' er ferfon observes, men get piled up in large cities oH throughout America, But, while land is in such hi : P len, y> an <| Workmen so scarce, and of course so tu n- dear, in vain shall government, unwisely, heap duty J c a- \ upon duty, and burden upon burden, on foreign so manufactures, we (hall (till, for years to come, be co »f obliged to resort to them. Of what avail have f been all the protecting duties on cottons, on hard- UD c- ware &c. &c. ? Do ive find them imported ia lcf« 10 id quantities?
