Tho Old English Tariff Policy.
The oll Ktifjlii nyslenioftoniinKe
auil poundage laws, of protective
tariff, ami of routine rciiil regulation
wait Heverely in her own favor. It
tnilvruccil over four hundred Acta
of l'tiiliinent, and wiih administered
without respect to the rights of any
other nation, hut Holely for her own
indiiHtrial and commercial welfare.
She did not hesitate to make her
tajiffrt prohihitive, nor to directly
s'Vrohihit the exportation of articles
which might teach inferior nations
the skill of her own. There is no
record of n protective system so
selfishly woven, tmd ho tyrrunnically
administered as hern, if we except
the absolutely exclusive and despotic
system of China ; nor of one ho per
nistently sustained till it gave her
the manufacturing and commercial
supremacy she courted. TIuh point
reached, as to commerce by 1825, and
as to manufactures by 1H 10, she re
sorted to a change of policy. Let
us see how she protected her iron.
From 178-! to 17l."i the duty on for
eign bar iron was over 12 per ton.
In 17U1 it was over 1-1 ; fromlT'.w to
1N02 over ; from lHilti to IHOSover
2: ; from 1810 to 1812 over $24 ; in
1818 over $28. By 1823 it was C
Ids. per ton if imported in British
ships, and 7 18s. fid. if imported in
foreign ships. Other manufactured
iron paid 20 (Sf'.W) per ton ; andiron
not otherwise enumerated paid .r0
for every 100 worth imported.
All of these rates were not only
protective, but prohibitive, and they
serve as an index to the policy which
prevailed as to other industries
which she designed to foster.
MOUUt.V KSOI.IHII TARIFF POLICY,
The change from protection of the
most ntudied and persistent kind toa
policy of free trade came, after the
former had given her wealth and a
mighty reserve capital, multiplied her
industries, fostered inventive skill,
carried her fabrics to perfection, and
enabled her to dominate the markets
of weaker, and less skillful, wealthy
and independent nations. "Her own
markets for her own wares," was the
motto so long as they were in dan
ger of competitive invasion by oth
ers.
England became free trade all
through, and immediately set up to
indoctrinate the world with her newly
assumed and seliish dogmas. Her
Cobden Club, an association of Brit
ish noblemen, was formed in 1 800
Its avowed object is interferienco
with tho protective policy of newer.
weaker, and less favored nations,
and their conversion to English free
trade notions not content withargu
ments scattered abroad in tracts urn'
books, this club, which counts
among its numbers, 200 members of
l'ailiament and 12 of the 11 Cabinet
ministers, has established agencies
in dilVerent putts of the United
States, for the purpose of operating
directly on our politics, especially in
congressional districts. n its issue
of July Id, Isko, the London Times
said : "It is to the New "World that
the Cobden Club in chielly looking
as the most likely sphere for its vig
orou foreign policy. It has done
what it ran in Europe, and it is now
turning it ryea westward and brae
ing itself for the struggle which into
come. "It cannot nrjcr while thi
CNiTr.n htateh AttF. UKstniM tn." What
interest ha the Cobden Club in the
United States? Dooh that body
love our American laborer t Do
they seek to enhance his interests
Or do they work in the interest of
England. The Cobden caren little
for American industries but she
Iovch her gold. If the Cobden Clul
should succeed in their enterprise
would it not benefit England and
would not England's gain bo Amer
ica h loss T ThiH Hoems reasonnblt'
We trust that the influence nf this
organization, which seeks the des
truction of America's industries
may never extend to this side of the
Atlantic.
iiitn isit colonial TAiurr policy.
Tariff, prohibition, or general,
was the wedge which forced colonial
America front her British allegiance.
England as well as other European
nations discouraged all attempts to
manufacture such articles in the
colonies as could be provided for
them by the mother country. An
Act of Parliament in 18.V) prohibited
as a common nuisance the erection
of any mill in America for slitting or
rolling iron. So the making of nails
in Pennsylvania was prohibited.
After the invention of the puddling
furnace and rolling mill by Henry
Cart, we find English statutes (178"))
prohibiting the exportation of tools
and utensils to foreign parts, the
migration of workmen skilled in
manufacturies. and (18!HK even of
colliers who mined her coal. The
first complete rolling mill in America,
erected at l'lnmesock, Favette
county, l'a., for Col. Isaac Meason,
was built and started by two Welsh
men, Thos. and George Lew is, who
came under the head of British skill
ed iron-workers, and as such were
compelled to "smuggle" their pas
sago across the Atlantic. We are
all more or less familiar with the
English methods of exacting revenue
from her American colonies, bv Tea
Acts, etc. etc., They were but a
part of that stupendous system of
home protection and foreign dis
crimination which enriched England
and built up her manufacturies and
commerce at the expense of other
nations. By no act or thought did
she encourage agriculture in America,
though sho seemed to know that this
country would become her granary.
No sooner was this proved under the
auspicies of independence and in
the midst of circumstances she could
not control, than she set about to
build up rival markets in other, and
newly planted, colonies. How well
she has succeeded in India and Aus
tralia ought to appear clear from the
fact that her wheat supply from these
two sources for 1S8.J-4 so nearly
equaled her demands as to leave our
splendid surplus of 80,000,000 bush-
Is almost untouched, or subject to
a tardy movement at ruinous'figures.
