putit had been said that a system of prohibi- Amy duani ndustry ece t s h s a a t r without e itp t r h o e tection of business c i the farmer would be ruined • for want of a market: that commerce and navigation would lan guish; that should the tariff (of 1842) be o otr oyed, not one of those who now lived by their labor on the bench or at the anvil could exist a twelvemonth. Now, was• that the i tn gusge of panic, or of sober Irpth ? How had the farmer been protected by the tariff 'of 1842, which was to yield hini such a golden harvest, in the shape of a home mar,ket, and hiel prices for provision and labor ? The wages of labor had not advanced, the price of almost every, agricultural product had been re- duced. But without going into detail of the depression of prices of the agricultural products of the coun try, he would here submit an extract from the able and conclusive remarks of his friend from New Yolk. [Mr. Collis.] showing the great depreciation in' the price of our agricultural exports: ..In the year 1841, agriculture was suffering a most unparalleled depression. One of the a vowed objects of the tariff act was to raise ag riculture from this depresion. How. far that object has been obtained by the proposed. reme ,:ty, let The following table demonstrate.

These are striking facts, and conclusively show hpw wonderflilly out commerce is augmented as you diminish the rate of duty. ' But a little further examina tion will yet more fully establish this 'point.— By casting the eye over the table D. it will be seen that a comparison. is instituted between the second period, during the operation of the compromise bill, and the third period. embrac ing the 'operation of the bill passed in 1842. The year 1843 was omitted, because of the change made by Congress in the fiscal year at that time, which slightly strengthened the case against the present law. It is perceived, that during the third period, under the operation of this oppressive tariff of 1842. our imports have ereatlyfallen off. as compared with their con 'Lion in the second period, during the cOntinu. once of the compromise bill. The decrease in our annual average importations in the third period, from what they were during the sec ond period, is $22,538,050. Can any impar. tial man look at the increase in our imports and exports as stated in table C. and compare them with the great decline exhibited in table D. and not admit the blighting effect the hi h tariff of 1842 has exercised Avon our fierce ? Here are official facts. 'contrasting in the strongest manner the injurious tendency and effect of the restrictive policy upon our imports and exports—..showing mest satisfac torily, that as you increase the duties you di minish our commerce. These tables dearly indicate the vibrations of commerce, as the country has alternated between the two con tending systems ot high and low duties, and they demonstrate that under the latter it is in vartatly greatly augmented, and we know this increase to be as inevitably the precursor as well as the rest of the prosperons condition of the country. But I propose to call the atten tion of the 'committee to another comparative statement equally instructive, because it exhi bits the relative population at stated periods, with the corresponding relative exports front the United States ; thus presenting in a differ ent aspect, and in the toast striking manner. the depressing and elevating effect of high and low duties upon our exports. as compared with the population of the country. 177,146 165,717 122,926 REM '81,306 17,074 , 61,978 214,602 00,341 54,204 234,734 7,043 Table of ExportTsfor several years from 1791 to 1846, also, of the POPULATION at each period. 1791.. 1800.. 1807., Period during the embargo and u ar omitted 1830 1740. 1845 During the period embraced in table E,'tha is. from 1 , 791 to 1807. the duties did not aver age 15 per cent. So that was eminently a time of free trade ; and during that period we perceive that in 1701, with a population of 4.000.000 our exports were only 819,012,041. 1p 1300. with a population of 5.300,000, our eipnrts had gone up to 870.971,780. And in 1807, with a population of 7,000.000. our ex ports had risen to the enormous amount of $108.343.150. Here we find a rapid progres sive increase in the value of our exports, com pared with our increase in population. The country then felt and manifested the greatest possible improvement : nor were our manu factures insignificant then or tinthrifty. Fox Air. Gallatin. as Secretary of the Treasury in 1810, in his celebrated report to Congress up on manufactures. observes, that , many feaiVirt. , branches then might be deemed as pe-manentl; established ; and that their gross product at that early day was 9120,000,000. or, in other words, that we made one-hayof our supplies at home, for our importations about kept pate with our exports. No one then advocated in Congress the propriety of taxing one hundred and fifty-two of the imported articles, at rates ranging from 35 to :50 per cent. Yet manu factures were then in their infancy. But • let us revert to table F, and we there find the grinding effect of high duties, contrasted with the prosperous consequences resulting from low duties. In IBM the first genuine protec- live tariff bill was passed ; and in 1820. with a population of 9,638.000 our exports fell dtiwn to 869.691,669. In 1830, with a population of 12,866,000 our exports were only 873.840,- 508. So inuch•for the depressing effect of the high duties dur;ng . lB2o and 1830. During that period our exports retrograded, while our population increased. But we will examine the next period, tinder the compromise. rind we find, that with a population of 17.069.453 our export; rapidly rose up to 8133,685,946. From this flattering state of things we turn again to a period of high duties; and in 1845, with a population of 10,500,000. our exports have again tumbled down to 8114.646.606. There are stubborn facts, and should tie in• structive. These tables are worth thinking over. In theni we End additional facts upon which to found arguments against this misera• ble quackery of attempting' to control the in dustry and enterprise of tlie country by Con gress ionat laws. We find, under the restrictive system, that as you raise the duties. you cut clown our exports, and they no longer, as in the periods of low duties, go on increasing at a rapid ratio in proportion as our population in creases. IV hile on this btaneh of the subject. it is pertinent also in show; to what extent high `duties impair the price of our exports. But in doing is. I shall have recourse to facts, as a basis for my argument, for we cannot, in finan cial affairs, nor indeed in other business mat ters, rely upon theories awl abstract arguments. • TABLE C.

The prnsent very low prices should induce the planter to inquire into the causes that produce such In jurious results. It cannot be ascribed to over production, for that has been progressing since 1821 ; and by casting the eye over the table, it will he plainly seen, that though the quanti ty regularly increased. yet, as the tariff policy vibrated from high to low duties, the price of cotton also vibrated. in exact unsion, from high to low. Look at the increased supplies of cot ton from 1825 to 1832. and note the fall in prices during that time, and then look at the increased supplies from 1832 to 1842, and mark the rise in prices in the latter period.— But as soon as Congress passed the high tariff bill of 1842. behold how the price of cotton has fallen. From 1825 to 1832 there was an increase in the cotton crop of almost 75 per cent..and the price fell from 14 cents per pound. which iemaintained during the four preceding years, down to 11 cents per pound. But from 1833 to 1842 there was a similar increase of about 75 per cent, in the crop, but the price rose,nevertheless, a few mills per pound.— Fr0m 5 1843 to 1845 there was still about the dame increase of, 5 per cent. in the, crop, hut the price again fell to 6 cents per pound. Cer tainly in both instances, tinder high duties, the cotton crop, as there was about the regular rate of increase maintained. should, under all the boasted advantages of the home market, at least have sold ashinli as,it:diirunder the descending duties from 1833 to 1842.

The annual average value per hogthead of tobacco exported from 1821 to 1824 was $7O ; from 1895 to 1832 it fell to $O5 per hogshead: from 1833 to 1842 it again rose up to 679 per hogshead ; from 1843 to 1845 it again fell down to $5O 70 per hogshead. Some may suppose that the quality of the crop may ex plain this ; but in preparing the tables many years are embraced in each period, so as to in clude the existence of high and low tariffs, and it is fair to infer that causualties would as fre quently affect the estimates on one Fide as the other. The average number of hogsheads ex ported, and the average price during the sever e r al periods, per hogshead, all ma out boldly in the tables , in condemnation o the oppress-- ion in fl icted upon the tobacco enter by high duties. - .. 1 will conclude this view of the subject by inviting attention to one other statistical state ment relative to the flour trade, which is equal ly interesting as those already noticed, and fully as instructive to the farmers. It will be found, OR examining the following table rela ting to flour, that, noiwithatanding the boasted demand of a home market for breadstuffs,whieh the advocates of protection alleged would be created during the operation of high duties, yet, strange to say, during their existence we exported annually nn an average a greater number of barrels of flour, and at reduced pri ces, than we did during the period of low du ties.

Here .it is seen that. in the latter period. untie the high tariff policy. we &hipped more flour. and at less prices, than in the first. But! will hasten to the next case in point.-- Prom - 1833 to 1842 we exported an annual average of 948,287 barrels of flour. at an average price per barrel of $0 01 foe the entire period. But though we exported from 1825 to 1832 on an average per annum 1.017.102 barrels of Boor, and from 1833 to 1842 only on an average per annum of 940.287 barrels, yet, strange as it may seem, our exports of floor in the latter period brought annually into the country $222,141 more money than in the former, when we exported so much larger quantity. So, under a reducing scale of duties, the farmers received better pncee for their flour, both at home and abroad. But froM 1843 to 1845 we exported on an average per annum 1,158,420 barrels of flour, at an average annu al price per barrel of only $4 58, Thus, not withstanding the great increase in the average quantify per annum from 1843 to 1845. inclu sive. over the former period from 1833 to 1842. yet the flour exported in the latter, (lu ring low duties, brought annually in the coon try $382,501 more money than the larger (pan. tiny exported since the passage of the present tariff law. The tables prove. that under the high tariff we exported a much larger quanti ty of flour, and at greatly reduced pica per barrel, than we did when the duties were re duced. Extract from the speech of 0. B. Ficklin, of Illinois, made July Ist, 1846. A home market is another one of the delusive promises held out by the advocates of the pro teetive policy ; and which is wholly fanciful.— To reconcile the farmers to this monstrous doe trine of paying two dollars when they should pay but one for an article, they promise to pur chase the corn, wheat, beef, pork. &c., of the farmer, giving good prices and thereby produc-, ing good times. This promise is as false as the protective policy is unjust. A moment's reflection and examination in re gard to the agricultural products of the country will prove that the promise is preposterous upon its very face, and of necessity is made but to.be broken. That the manufacturing establishments in the eastern States are beneficial to the farmer on a small scale, and to those who have gardens and raise vegetables. fur such establishments, is doubtless true; but they air mainly supplied by the agriculturists in the immediate vicinity, and the amount they consume is scarcely per ceived in the great provision-growing regions of the country; like a drop in the ocean, its influ ence is unseen and Unfelt. A few figures will show the absurdity of this promise of a home market beyond all question. In the west one hand will cultivate twenty-five acres of . land in corn, which, at a very low estimate, will yield thirty bushels per arre—making 750 bushels.— In Europe the estimate is about live bushels -of grain to the man per year; but as we feed belief in this country, allow ten to the head. .& one man would produce sufficient corn for sev enty-five persons. So that seventy-four out of every seventy-five would have to abandon farm ing. and go to manufacturing or something else, in order to give us a home market. 1 will here present another view of this quest ion, exhibited by farts and fieures prepared by a competent hand, which totally explodes this home-market humbug. Number of persons engaged in the four kading menu factures, Iran manufacture 30.349 5,492 21,342 72,119 129,000 n 1839, there were raised in the middle &atm— Hantsvene and cutlery manufacture Wdollen manufacture Cotton manufacture Wheat Corn Rye ' Number of neat cattle Swine. Allowing for the consumption of each person six bushels of wheat.and six of corn and rye, (which is nearly twice as much as each person consumes.) and to each family two swine and one beef, (wihch is much more than they actual ly consume,) and the result is as follows: • Whole number of bushels of wheat 84,823,372 Whole quantity consumed by the moms- 54,653,092 lecturers Surplus Whole number of bushels corn and rya 396,176,442 Quality consumed 4,653,072 Surplus 1191,523,370 Whole number of swine Number consumed Surplus Whole number of neat cattle Number consumed Surplus Thus I think it is shown by facts and iiiures milt dearly that the promise of a home market is an idle humbug. This whole land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, would have to present unbroken lines of work- shops and factories before their inmates could consume-the grain and other provisions raised by the farmer. This prepostetous argument in favor of, a home market may be exposed in -another way. It is estimated that there are fourteen times as many persons engaged in agriculture as in the protected branches of manufacture, to wit: 719,607 persons in agriculttire, and 284,351 in the protected manufacturing & mechanic classes. Now before a. home markercoitl4 be furnish ed, the wholb business pursuits of life in this country would have to be reversed. and four teen times as.many peofile would have to em bark in manufactures as were engaged in agri culture, a thing totally out of . the question.— These fanciful promises and fine-spun theories ofthe manufacturer are hollow and ha.,eless. and the farmer should no longer permit himself to be taxed to support any branch of husinesi that will not support itself.

Suited to the Human Constitution, and equal to the cure of every curable disease, will be found in lli4ght'B Indian Vegetable Pills These extraordinary Pills are composed of 'plants which grow spontaneously on our own suit, and are, therefore better adapted to our constitutions, than Medi cines concocted from foreign drugs, however well they may be compounded ; and as WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS aro founded upon the principle that the human body is in truth SUBJECT TO BU I' ONE DISEASE, namely, corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on NATURAL PRINCIPLES, by cleansing and purifying the body, it will be mini fied that if the constitution be not enurely exhausted, a perscnrance in then use, according to directions, is ab solutely certain to drive deseeie of every name from the body. When we wish to restore a swamp or morass to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant water. In like manner, if we wish to restore the body to health we must cleanse it of impurity. WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS will be found one of the hest, if not the very best, medi cine in the world for carrying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE. , because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humor, the cause of the disease, in an easy and Nutt'. id Manner, and while they every day give EASE & pleasure, disease of every name is rapidly driven from the body. budhols, 8 . 1.8113,372 377,531,875 18,645.567 14,971,586 26,301,293 The following highly respectable StortAteepers have been duly appointed Agents for the sale of Wright's In. dian Vegetable Pills in Bradford County .
