EXTRACT FROM THE .

ANNUAL TREASURY REPORT.

It has beeuseen how largely the exporta-
tions of our own‘ manufactures, during the
past year, has exceeded the exportatioiis of
the two years preceding. It may be added,
that no previous year since the foundation of-
the government, has the exportation of Am.
manufactiires reached.an.amount at all ap-
proaching to that of 1825. This is known

from official documents as far back ,as 1803,.

and no doubt can be entertained ofits being
true for the remainder of the period. This
act in conjunction with the increasing con-
sumption of these manufactures at home, and
not less oftheir improving iiuiility', gives grat-
ifying assurance oftlie progress of this most.
important branch of the national industry.-
Itniay be considered as marking the com-
niencenient ofan epoch in the national re-
sources, since an intimate connexion is be-
lieved to exist between the full encouragement
and success of domestic manufactures, and
the wealth,.the power, and the happiness of
the country. The United States would, it is
thought, overlook what is due to the essential
interests of their agriculture, which can never
reach the full point of prosperity but under
the constant and various demand ofthe home
market ; oftheir foreign commerce, which
can never expand to its full limit of activity,
or reap its full measure ofriches, but with the
aids ofan active home trade, and ofan ex-

porttrade enlianced in its value by being di-p

versified in its objects ; ofthe exuberance of
their soil, yielding-- the best material, for so
many of the fabrics which conduce to the
wants, the comforts, and the refineuients of
the social state ; ofthe industry, the enter-
prise, the frugality oftheir people: ofthe un-
rivalled equality oftheir laws, which, inte-
dieting exclusive rights and nionopolie=, iii-
vites the most energetic exertions’ of every
individual in the field of competition; and,
finally, ofthe advantages flowing from the
absence of pecuniary exactioiis by the hand
ofgovernment upon the internal products 8:.
labor of the country—Ifthey do not vigorous-
ly uphold the manufactures of'ilie country,
now for the first time appearing to be upon
the eve of striltiiig root.

It is a comiiieiiceineiit that deserves every
scasonahle improvement. The territorial
size and fertility of a country, depend upon
nature or upon accident. Boili the one and
the other may exist upon the largest scale, but
in vain, ifa provident government do not
second these gifts ; whilst nations destitute of
them, and struggling against positive obsta-
cles of nature, are seen to arrive, through the
wisdom oftheir policy, at the heights ofpros-
perity and renown. To give perfection to the
industry ofa country rich in the gifts ofna-
ture, and blessed in the beneficence ofits go-
vernment ; to draw out its obvious resources
and seek constantly for new ones, ever ready
to unfold themselves to diligent inquiry, urged
on by adequate motives; to augment the num-
ber and variety ofoccupations for its inhabit-
ants; to hold out to every degree oflabour,
and to every modification of skill its appro-
priate object and inducement; these rank a-
mongst the highest ends of legislation; To
organize the whole labor ofa country ; to en-
tice into the wildest ranges its mechanical
anti intellectual capabilities, instead of suffer-
ing them to slumber ; to call forth, wherever
hidden, latent ingenuity, giving to effort ac-
tivity, and to eniulaiion ardor; to create em-
ployinent for the greatest amount of numbers,
by adapting it to the diversified faculties, pro-
pensities, and situations of men, so that every
particle ofability, every shade of genius, may
come into requisition—is, in other words, to
lift up the condition ofa country ; to increase
its fiscal energy ; to multiply the means and
sources ofits opulence : to irnbue it with the
elements ofgeneral, as well as lasting strength
and prosperity.

It is in the destiny of nations, that the
highest points of advancement are not to
he arrived at, but tlirough the complicated,
yet harmonious action ofthese elements.
That extensive and flourishing manufactures,
with the train of useful arts allied to them,
tend to propel nations in this onward cotirse,
is a maxim believed to be enforced by the

 

best lights of experience, and to be ofpectiliar

application to the U. States, under the pres-
ent circtiiiistaiices, oftheir interior and exter-
nal condition. By a flourishing state of man-
ufactures we shall see rising up a new class of
capatalists, rivalling in the extent and useful-
ness of their operations, and in the amount of
their gains, the wealthiest of our merchants ;
spreading, too, by the education and habits
for which their pursuits, when largely con-
ducted, make a call, useful knowledge and
science, wherever those pursuits concentre.
By a fioiirisliiug state of manufactures, we
shall see the gains ofthe merchant augment-
ed even in his trade ofiinports, since, for eve-
ry foreign fabric excltided from consumption
by the ultimate use ofthe rival fabric at home,
other fabrics will find their way to us, con-
sumption having no liiiiits but the ability "to
buy, and this ability invariably increasing as
home manufactures assume variety and attain
perfection. It is then that they create and
diffuse wealth by what is the only true foun-
dation of it in a iiation-the universal, sub-
divided, and successful industry ofthe people.
It is then that they make a call for an abund-
ant circulating medium, by quickeuing the
operations of purchase and sale. It is then
that they attract the precious metals to a

country, and, beyond any other power of re-

tention, keepjthem there. By ntiinerotis
manufactures, we shall see Agriculture, the
first pillar in the State, stand firm: for when
they shall have raised tip new capatilists, who
so sure to maintain profitable dealing with
them as the owner of the soil? For the
treasures that cover its surface, and that lie
beneath it, he is then sure to find a market,
both regular and growing, whatever the po-
litical or merctintile vicissitudes at a distance;
and as sure to buy at cheap rates the fabrics
which he wants, clieapness being the necessa-

ry consequences of full competition among a

powerful ,_class of artizans at home. By nu-

.merous manufactures, in fine, we shall see

reared up in the_State that additional pillar,
which, standing in the middle, is indispensa-

proxiniate

VOL. viii. .-No. 45. , _.,_

hlato the,s_tability df._the other two; for the =~ ._

State must be in a false position lying perpet-

ually at themercy of extrinsic events, when 

reposing only upon foreign commerce and I
agriculture. The great intermediate interest,-
strengthening and upholding both the others,
is Manufactures. VVhen, to the complete es-
tablishment of these, the Internal improve-
meat of the country shall have been super-I
added, the farmer of the U. States cannot but:

‘perceivetliatthe measure of his prosperity

is made potentially full. Discouraging dis-
t_auces between himself and his customers ex- '
istiio longer. '. Through the wisdom , of art
the obstacles of nature disappear. He sees
combined with the advantages ofa country,of
almost boundless extent, and capacity of pro-
duction, the facilities of ‘quick intercourse, ‘
which compensate, to small countries, the“
vvanroftliese advantages. ' He sees time an-
ticipated in the effective augmentation of our

numbers: for, as with machinery in manufac-

tures, so with canals and good highways, they
change the relative weakness of a thin and
scattered, into the activity"and power of a.
condensed population, thereby exemplifying
the highest wisdom oflegislatioii, the noblest
works of government, guided by the intelli-
gence, and stimulated by the energy of free-
dom. - I ‘

In giving these opinions in favor of domes-
tic manufactures, it is known that other opin-
ions exist on this subject, claiming the sup-
port of distinguished names both at home 83
abroad. For these opinions, as they have
from time to time been witnessed in the dis-
cussious of the legislative hall at home, the
utmost deference is felt.. Nevertheless, it is
deemed proper to corn,muuicate with _candour,
those contained in this Report, deliberately
weighed as they have been,and uttered as they
also are, under the obligations of official duty.
In the submission ofplans for the improve-
ment of the public revenue, none occur more
likely to prove salutary‘ than those that look
to the fostering of manufactures, under the
truth, that in the multiplied productions of
nature and art in a country, the result of in-.
dustry and skill every where diffused, lie the
best and only foundations of finance.
the people ofa country are universally. and
profitably employed, the aggregate of individ-

ual becouies the surest measure of national — ’ .

prosperity, and revenue for the public occa-
sions will always be at hand, under whatever
forms the Government may deem it most ex-
pedient and less burdensome to call it forth.
The facts ofthe world are on the side ofthese
opinions, it being ineontestible that nations
which have reached the most imposing
heights of physical and intellectual power,
are those in which man_ufactures have been
the most numerous, and arrived at the great-
est perfectiois. It is more applicable to add
that this perfection among the nations where
it has been most conspicuous, has been achie-
ved through the most comprehensive and rig-
orous protection afforded to this kind of in-
dustry ; a protection persevered in thro’out
ages, and never given up whilst its objects re-
main unaccomplished. ‘-

The speculative economists of Europe, are
in opposition to the experience that surrounds
them, and not less frequently to each other,
and to themselves, when they would hold up
to any nation the asserted benefits of an op-
posite system. “ France,” says one of her
most celebrated writers of this class (but who
knows how to reconcile the enlightened ideas
of free trade with those first duties that every
nation owes to itself) “ is probably indebted
for the beauty of her silk and woollen iiianu-
factures to the wise_ encouragement ofihat
administration which advanced to the manu-
facturers two thousand francs for every loom
at work.” The same writer, (Say) whilst de-
scribing the coiiditioii ofsome ofthe provin-
ces of that country, and which, as he says,
wanted nothing but t0Wl]S~(0 bring them into
high cultivation, adds, “ that hopeless indeed
would be their situation were France to adopt
the system which recommends the purchase
of manufactures from foreign countries, with
the raw produce of domostic agriculture.”—-
Fraiice still adheres, in the midst ofher riches
and power, tothe practice on which these sen-
timents are founded. ,Nor is the example; of
Britain, up to this very mouient, less absolute
or less instructive. The prohibitions, the
bounlies, the high duties, the penalties, the
penalties, by force of which, throughout a.
long tract oftinie, the manufactures of that
country have gained so much excellence, ne-
ver in any wise abated, until, by the recent :1-
vowals ofher statesmen, high in intelligence
as authority, British fabrics were not merely
certain to continue, the supply, immense as
it is known to be, of the home demand, but to
find their way in a proportion,far greater than
those from any other country, into all the ,
markets ofthe world.

_The United States, with a combination‘ of‘
natural and political advantages as transcend-
ent in number as degree, have before them
these and other examples; the lights of co-
existent nations ; the ainplest demonstrations
of experience, for building up their manufac-
tures ; and by that vigilant legislative assist-
ance, without which they have never been
known in any country to establish themselves
in large or durable pre-eminence. Nor has
this policy been found to interfere with an a-
bundant foreign commerce, in the wealthiest «
and most industrious nations. It has, on the ‘
contrary, carried its bounds still further ;—-
since every nation, by its habits aad position,
will always cominaud superior facilities for
excelling in certain branches oflabour and of
art, which it therefore chiefly cherishes, leav-
ing to other nations the opportunity ofexcel- .
ling in other branches, or of running the ca-
reer of beneficial‘ rivalry in the same ;—by
which systeiii the artificial productions of the '
world are augmented and improved. and the
fields of traffic, through ‘the increasing desires
and varying tastes of mankind, as opulence
and civilization make new-advances, uiore 86“

‘more extended and enriched.

If the nations of Europe, whose industry 8:
interchanges moves in circles geographically
to each other, have yet adopted

this policy, ‘or have fallen back in their pros-
perity by the fact of its absence ; ifthosei na-
ticns tlI6tt'haVe adopted it, are still seen 19
