. (Concluded.) l i"
The honorable chairman of the Committee
on Finance haa undertaken to show that there
haa been a larfo increase in our exports for the
Inst half year. The correctness of hia conclu
sions are rendered doubtful from the very par
tial view which he has taken of the subject,
lie has given us only the exports from the port
of New York. It will be readily seen that
they mey be greatly increased there, and yet
the whole amount be scarcely varied- Owing
to the restrictions heretofore imposed upon our
trade with Great Britain, and the regulations of
their colonial system, our agricultural products
were taken first ; into Canada, and exported
thence into England. ' The recent changes in
her com laws, while they have materially af
fected the interest of their Canadian enbjcte,
have had no beneficial effect upon our prices.
This the honorable chairman' has kept out of
sight. The only change has been to export
this produce directly to England instead of
through Canada, without benefiting , in the
slightest degree the farmer here.
.The chairman speaks of the anticipated re
peal of the corn laws. He ought to have known
that thia repeal . haa been abtolule for some
months. When Sir Robert Peel , introduced
is new corn bill into Parliament, Die custom-
hoiiee officers were directed to regolate the du
ties by its provisions, taking bonds trom the im
porter for the difference to be paid should ti e
bill not become a law, "" i '
It Is probable that a larger amount of bread-
stuffs will bo shipped thia ytar than heretofore,
bot for reasons very different from that assigned
by the honorable chairman. One I have alrea
dy given. The anticipation of the new British
tariff regulations gav a sudden and unworan
ted advance to prices here, last fall. Unusual
ly large amounts were purchased bv specula
tors, - Their expectations were not realized:
nd, after holding as long as their 'means and
credit would permit, they were compelled to
sell at any price. From these ruined specula
tors it went into the f hands of shippers," who
have sent it abroad. 1 1 ahould like to see the
first farmer who' undeceived the slightest be
nefit from the modification of the English corn
laws. It is an indisputable fact that we never
have fend never can compete with northern Eu
rope in supplying England with breadstuff!
The lawa of nature and of trade render it utter
ly impracticable. ' The history of tka flour bu
siness of this country proves that when it ia at
the lowest price, ex ports t ions are Ian-eat.
When the farmer sells his flour for half price,
when the dealer and miller are ruined all over
the country, then, and then only, do the British
buy breadstuffs from us in large quantities: at
no other time can we compete with the low-'
priced wheat and rye shipped into England from
the Russian and German provinces countries
where literally the "ox is muzzled who treads
out the corn, and where the laborer who pro
duces the grain is permitted only to eat the
huaka from which the wheat i winnowed.
We are referred to the recent action of Eng.
land upon her corn laws, as a reason for redu
cing our tariff upon foreign manufacturca.
Who ia so blind as not to see that there ia no
parallel between the cases? In England it ia an
effort of the laboring population to t id .them-,
selves of llio oppression of the Isnded aristocra
cy, by which they are deprived of their bread.
Here, it is an effort of the aristocracy to deprive
the laboring man of the means of earning bis
bread, . ,' ,t ; . ,.-..
The great market, and the only certain mar
ket of this country, ia that created by the manu
facturing interest at home. Those who look
to Europe for consumer of the products of our
soil will be disappointed j and, in the end, the
aurplus population and increased capital of the
wen will seek manufacture aa the meanaof
employment.' ' '' -
(n proof of thia view of the case, I need only
mculiun the fact that the aingle Slate of Maaea-
chuaetu look last year from ibe other. (State
latt year one million of barrels of . flour-winore
than the whole export of that article from the
United Statee to foreign countries. - It ia also
true that for . the laat twenty years the home
market baa generally kept Ibe price of bread
stuffs above tbt shipping price. These facts
ought to settle thia question, I might aak, in
conclusion, what beneficial effect can the re
duction of the price abroad have upon - our pro
ducts here 1 , -. .
The objections to thia bill itself are so nu
meroua, that it ia hard to tell where, they begin
or where they end. ; I am glad to be able to ac
quit my honorable and able friend, the chair
man of the Committee oa Finance, from i all
participation in concocting a schema ao well
calculated to do mischief, so badly adapted to
the legitimate busine of the country, and so

frauds on the reveittie. .Our citizens might in
time, to some extent, overcome the inadequacy I
of its protection,' but there is no method by
which they can guard againit the frauds that
will be practised under it My friend the chair-1
man felicitates himself upon the security a-
gainst fraud by the absence of motive. He I
produces an array of figures to show that the I
gain upon an invoice of goods undervalued 15
per cent would produce a profit of only 2J per
cent, if successful. He thinks' this a very
small matter ; and to the large southern planter,
accustomed to estimate wealth by his immense
cotton and rice fields, it may bo ; bnt the result
of his own figures will show it to be no ineun
siderable aum. . Let ua take a single case;
which is by no means Uncommon. ! A foreign
manufacturer sends an spent, .who opens a
countinghouse in New York osleneibly fot the
purpose of importing good. He receives on
consignment - 800,000 worth annually,1 upon
which the 2J pcr Cent gain, by the udervalua
tion, is $20,000. ! I am assured by the most ex
perienced and intelligent merchants that it
would be utterly impossible to detect en under
valuation of 15 pcr cent, on cloths. I venture
to affirm that you could not find a man of char
acter who would be willing to put his judgment
in the scale for the difference of 15'per cent, an
valuation, when the sum in dispute was 1,000
This being the ense, how unlikely is it that ap
praisers, appointed as they are for their politi
cal services, with but little reference to their
business qualifications, would ever. detect thia
difference in . the . valuation. . Tho , profits of
large mercantile transactions are generally ve
ry small on the items. Commission houses, do-
ing business; to the amount of a million of dol,
lars will guaranty their aaloa for 2) per cent
When the consignment is very large, the guar
anty is frequently given for 1 J or 2 per cent."
. Now if a house on the other side can save an
amount greater than they would have to pay
for the) guaranty of the whole amount of their
consignment, I ask, ia there not motive of gain
sufficient to induce the undervaluation ? particu
larly where the morals on the subject of reve
nue lawa are aa loose aa in England and France,
where they avow it ia not wrong to cheat the
government. I am assured by a respectable
merchant, that of the large number of foreign a
genta doing business in New York under the
compromise act, scarcely any of them are now
to be found there. Upon the passage of the
act of 1842, they closed their stores and went
home, became they, could no longer defraud
the government by la Ise invoices.
Another serious objection to the bill is its uni
form discrimination in favor of tho foreign me
chanic laborer against our own. - This princi
ple if -principle it may be called-abounds
throughout the whole bill.' Every class ofnio
chanics ia to be affected, and the business of ma
nr of them to be destroyed by it. The tuilor,
the hatter, the ehoemaker, the saddler, the tin
n. an, the blacksmith, and all others, will aee
their towns and village filled with the work of
foreign pauper labor underselling them at
their own doors,' lo pay for which the country
is to be drsined of it specie. To exemplify
this, I will refer to a few only of the many gla
ring instances of this character in Ibe bill.
There are, by estimate, in the United State, a-
bout 5500,000 men employed in making clothes,
and we may to thia add that number of women
engaged in the same pursuit. Readymade
clothes, by thia bill, as in schedule C, are char.
ged HO per cent., and the material of which
moat of them are made ia in the same schedule,
All know that the labor upon clothes in Europe,
particularly France, is done by poor women and
half starved men, who eat meat porhap one a
month who give no education to their children.
and who never expect to see them elevated a
bovetbo wretchednes of their birth. These
persons, who literally work for a ahillwg a day,
will flood Ihe country with ready-made clothes,
and drive out of employment thia intelligent
tnd worthy claa of our people. ' ' '
Ia further proof, I will cite a few cases of
smaller manufactures. Tske the cam of gin-
ger, for inatance : the raw materia! in schedule
B paying 40 per cent ad valorem while the
manufactured article ia, In schedule C, paying

Further investigation haa satisfied me, that
wh.t pretends to be provisions for producing
revenue can have no other effect than to act as
an absolute prohibition, preventing entirety. the
importation of many articles that are very im
portant to various branches of our industry,
and some of them even necessary to our nation

longer upon the time of the Senate than I had
intended; but, to show the incongruities ol this
