HON, ANDREW STEWART,
OF PENNSYLVANIA,
THE TARIFF AND FARMERS.
I had not intended, said Mr. S., to say one word'
about the Tariff; but I am strongly tempted to state
a fact or two in reply to the gentleman from Vir
ginia. That gentleman dwelt entirely on the ben
efits of foreign trade. He went altogether iv favor
of importing foreign goods, and creating a market
for the benefit of foreigners. Would our own ag-
ricutture be be matted by a process like this? No
thing could moreaffestually divert the benefit from
our own people and pour it in a constant stream
upon foreign labor. No American interest was so
much benefitted by a protective system as that of
agriculture. The foreign market was nothing, the
home market was everything, to them; it was as
one hundred to one. The Tariff gave us the great
home market, while the gentleman's scheme was to
secure us, at best, but the chance of a market
abroad, while it effectually destroyed our secure and
invaluable market at home. The gentleman soya
he is very anxious to compete with the pauper labor
of Europe. I will tell him one fact: With all
the protection we now enjoy, Great Britain sends
into this country eight dollars' worth of her agri
ricultural productions to one dollar's worth of all
our agricultural productions (save cotton and to.
bacco) that she taks from us.
Mr. Beyr,r. Does the gentleman assert that
Mr. BrEwAnx. I do—and will prove it.
Mr. BATLT• Then you will prove the returns
false which are made by our own Government.
No, sir ; I will prove it by the returns furnished
by Mr. Walker himself in support of the bill whicli
lie has laid before the Committee of Ways and
Moans. Now, I assert, and can prove, that more
than half the value of all the British gocids torpor-
ted into this country consist of agricultural pro
duct., changed in form, converted and manufac
tured into goods. And I invite a thorough analysde
of the facts. I challenge the gentlemen to the
scrutiny. Take down all the articles in a More,
one after another—estimate the value of the raw
material, the bread and meat, and other agricultural
products which have entered into their fabrication,
and it will be found that one-half and more of their
ricultu;;;;rtaull Alt..Pl9.bdiece.nt.the
Now, by reference to Mr. Walker's report, it will
be seen that, for twelve years back, we have impor
ted from Great Britain and her dependencies anna-
ally 523. millions of dollars worth Of goods, hut call
it 50 millions, while she took of all agricultur
al products, save cotton and tobacco, less than two
and shelf millions of dollars worth. Thus, then,
assuming one-half the value of her goods to be
agricultural, it gives ug'2s millions of her agricul
tural produce to 2i millions of ours taken by her,
which is just ten to one; to avoid cavil, I put it at
eight to one. To teat the truth of his position, he
' was prepared, if time permitted, to refer to numer
ous facts. But for the information of the gentle.
man from Virginia, who is so great a friend to the
poor and oppressed farmers, I will tell him that we
have imported yearly, for twenty-six years, (so says
Mr. Walker's report,) morn than ten millions of
dollars worth of woolen goods. Last year we im
ported $10,666,176 worth. Now, one-half and
more of the value of thi.: cloth woe made up of
wool, the subsistence of labor and other agricultur
al productions. The general estimate is, that the
wool alone is half. Tho Universal custom among
farmers, when they had their wool manufactured on
the shares, was to give the manufacturer half the
cloth. Thus wo import, and our farmers have to
pay, for jive millions of dollars .worth of foreign
wool every year in thq form of cloth, mostly the
production of sheep feeding on the gross and grain
of Great Britain, while our own wool is worthless,
for want of a market; and this is tho policy the
, gentleman recommends to American farmers. Yes,
1 air; the gentleman Is not satisfied with five millions,
but wishes to increase it to ten millions a year for '
foreign wool. Will the gentlemen deny this? He
dare not. He has declared for Mr. Walker's bill,
reducing the duties on woollens nearly one-half,
with a view to increase the revenue ; of course,
the imports must bo doubled, making, the import of
cloth twenty millions instead of tell, and of wool
ten instead of five millions of dollars per annum..
This was the gentleman's plan to favor the far
mers, British farmers, by giving them the Amcri,'
can market. His plan woe to buy everything, sell
nothing, and get rich. (A laugh.) What was
true as to cloth was eqUally true as to everything
else. Take a hat, a pair of shoes, a yard of silk or
lace, analyze it, resolve it into its constituent ele
ments, and you will find that the raw material, and
the substance of labor, and other agricultural pro
duct', constituted more than one-half its entire'
value. The pauper labor of Europe employed in
manulacturing silk and lace got what it eat, to
more ; and this is what you pay for when you pur
chase their goods. Break up your home manufac
tures ar.d home markets, import everything you eat
and drink and wear, for the benefit of the farmers.
Oh, what friend,' these gentlemen are to the far
mem and mechanics and laborers of this country--
j no, air, I am wrong, of Great Britain.
Now, I ask Whether wool is not, in the strictest
sense, an agricultural production? And if we im
port ten millions in cloth, is not five millions of that
sum paid for the wool alone—a product of 'British
farmersl As a still stronger illustration of his ar.
vorrent, Mr. S -,terred to the article of iron. Lalt

year, according to Mr. Walker's' Report, we impor
ted $0,043,396 worth of foreign iron, and its man
ufactures, mostly from Great Britain, four-fifths of
the value of which, on every practical man knew,
conaisted of agricultural produce—nothing else.—
Iron is made of ore and coal; and what is the ore
and coal buried in your mountains worth I No
thing—nothing at all, tfnused. What gives it
