AMERICAN MANUFAC'l‘URE.S.
An adjourned meeting of the citizens of the
city and county of Pliiladelpliia, friendly to Amer-
ican manufactures, was held in the count)‘ court
house, on the 2d of Oct. 1819 ; when the Com-
mittee, appointed at a former meeting to make
inquiry into the situation of the manufactures of
thecity of Philadelphia and its Vicinity, in 1814,
l3l6, and l8l9, made the following Report----
} hat they have performed the duty assigned
tlicm, with as much attention as in their power ;
and regret that nottvitlistanditig all their deli-
geuct-, they have been able to procure the neces-
sary informatioii from only thirty branches of
manufacturts, of which they annex the result.
Although they made report in part on the 4th
nlt. containing a siatcntc-r.t of the situation of I?
branches, they judge it proper to present their
lt:i‘it-‘J-.-‘ citizens with a C0l')llt.'C'tc(l \-lc'-~' ot the whole

It would far exceed the bounds ol this report,

to esaablisli the impolicy of our system.
'1 he basis of the paper n.atitifat:t~.irc: is a raw
m41l¢“‘«ll; Cttmpaetely worthless lor any other pur-
pose. All the produce of it, tlieiclote, is clear
gain to the community, and a solid stibstantlal ad-

Thus in one single branch, of little comparative
lm])()l‘l,allCC, an annual loss of 624,000 dollars is
iu‘cui'i'cd in the vicinity of the city ; and 775 per
sons are rendered destitute of cmploymetit, many
ofthein men and women of large families. This
is indepeiident of the sacrifice of the capital of the
c;mpl0yt:t'S, which in many cases is reduced to one
half of its former value.
Our policy is in direct hostility with that of all
the wise iiations of the wot ld. for four or live hun-
(ll'ti.'(l years past. Tliey have zilwuys held out in-
ducemenis to the migration ol artists, mechanics,
and maiinf-.icttit~ers, whom they have received
with open arms, and fostered and cliei-islied, fre-
quently by bounties antl immunities. In some
counties the emigration of such persons is made
penal. But alas! with us the same ruinous pol-
icy that depresses the industry of our native citi-
zens, discourages the migrtition to our shores of
foreigners devoted to manufactures. Allured by
the advantages of our excellent form of govern-
ment, hundreds and thousands of them come to
enrich us with their capital, their talents, and their
industry ; but on their arrival, tliey find no room
for the employment of either industry, talents, or
capital. Many of those who seek support here in
their respective trades aiid professions. are obliged
to earn a maintenance by low and set-rile occupa-
tions, in which their skill and talents are literally
thrown away; many, to our knowledge. have
been reduced to niendicity ; and hundreds are
driven to Canada or Nova Scoiia, or obliged to re-
turn ‘to their native countries, where they hold out
a beacon to others. not to try their fortunes in
this new world. To England no less than one
hundred lately returned in one vessel.
W'e beg leave to repeat, what we stated in our
former report, that most of these manufactures
are prostrated not for want of protecting duties

ment of the country, at-isliig principally froin the;
want of protection to the great leading branches
of cotton, wool, and iron. Alat'ge portion of our
manufactures, including the chief of those de-
pending on manual labour, have succeeded coin-
pletely: and it is a singular and striking fact,
notwiilistaiiding the high price of labour is often
urged against the encouragement, and against the
chance of success of manufactures here. that we
chinery, in which, from our numerous ‘mill-seats,
we have advantages beyond any nation in Europe.
A trite obsei-vation is used to palliate our suf-
ferings, which, as it diverts public afteniion from
their real -.sotii'res, and thus may prevent the ap-
plication of an adequate remedy, deserves to be
met and l'Cf't.'tt'(l. VVe invite your attention.
It is asserted ihatthe present is a season of
general §il8g‘l12il.l'.'ll and embarrassment; that the
ccininerci-.tl wuild is every where_- intolvt-(l i.. dis-

which we have no right to claim an rxeinpiion,

’l‘l‘.ttt there is gieat distress in certain pmts of
Et.'l‘u[«L'.., no tidniit; but it is llir from’ being as
general as is asserted. l\'Zai:ul7.r.cttircs and tr-.i(‘ie
are in a flourisliing state in Fr-.n;ce, {ussir-t. and
the Ncilietlands, in conseqtience of the t‘. ise s} :-
tem of protecting natioii-at industry, puisued in
those countries. The first, it is stated by ll'-.t‘-'Cl-
lers of -uiidoubted veracity, was never in a more
prospctotis sittiation. ‘
But admitting for a moment, that distress aiid
embai-rzissment were not only geiieral. but llnl\'i:*.I'-4
sal in Europe, it by no means follows that they
should extend to this country. The nations of
that quarter, with hardly any exception, were for
20 yczirs wasted and consumed by a devouring
war. Most of them were subjected to the often
iepezited rapine and depreciation of coizntless
hordes of llcentious and rapacious armies, which
levied on them most exorbitant and i-t~iut.tis con-
Their peopl‘- are generally zmbjcct

tytlics. _'l'heii~ national debts are etiormons. and
their governments expensive--stipportcd by nu-_
merous standing armies, a burden to the rest of
the comn‘.tu.ity. _
V\r’e ask our fellow citizens what analogy can

greater difference between light and darkness,
virtue and vice, than between the fostering care
bestowed on manufactures in England, l"rance,
Austria and Russia, and the cold and chilling neg-

made to congress, by our nr.iii»il'actiii'ers in 1816,
1817, 1818, and 1819, have experienced. They‘
produced no more effect, and vtert.‘ treated vv itl1
no more respect, than the appll-cations oftlie con-

that the manufacturers of the United States are
almost as completely unreptesented in congress,
as this country, when in its colonial state, was in
