and 5t‘('Uf{‘(l the interest for his use. The

Now under these circumstances will any
one say that the int--rests of agrieultute are
nol promoted by the tariff? Let the duty be
removed lrout butter. cheese, potatoes, heinp
or even meat and grain in some seasons. and
lheiinflttcnce would be severely felt. But
the great benefit which the farmer derives
from the tariff: relates to the market which it
Cr¢_i=1t<-S. It is to no purpose that the farmer
rtttscs produce beyond his own constimption.
ttulcss he can dispose of his surplus. And
who are the consumers of this surplus? To
whom docsthe farmer sell his butter and
choose, his meatand grain. and \\'l)rtl.t'l.'t’l‘
else he may have for sale? Not to his
brother farmers,-—thr>y have enough and to
spare. His grout mnrlut is among the titan-
ufacturcrs and mt’cl'l-'l!1lCS,--ll]P very class of
men whose business would be destroy ed by
it rope-tl ofthe Tariff? Our country is es-
s--ntially agricultural,rind the greatdifficulty
the farmer has to contend with is the want
ofa uiarket for his produce. The encour-
“fletttettl Elven to m8l’lllffiCll)l'r’l’S and the IT!‘ -
chanic arts, takes a share of our citiz--us
from agtirttlturn, where they are producers.
and converts them into consumers of agri-
cultural products.
By the lite er-nsus it appears that there
were about 800,000 men rug.-igr-d in mono.
factures. These with their faiiiilir-s and dc-
penclants. arnountinr_r to at least 4.000,000FlT9
consurnt-rs of agricultural products. VVill
the farmers snv that such a market "is of no
consequence to them .7 Letthe tariffbe re-
pealed. and the tnanttfactttrcs of the country
be broken flown and the benefits of the tarifi
would at once be seen and felt by the farniioc
interest. They would not only loose their
principle tnztrlrct. but these 800.000 manu-
ficturcrs would be compelled to engage in
flfrtir-ulluro, and become producers them-
selves. The natural =1 rid neci=ss:try effect of
this would be to depress agrictiltttrc. A
greater calamity could not b--fall the f."Il'lTlll'l’_T
lt‘llPl'PSl. Under these. circnmstanctrs. the
vcrv bounty of nature would cease to be :1
blessing: as the fartnr-rs would suffer pinch-
ing poverty in the midst ofthe greatest plen-
ty.
Bot \\'l‘.t-'l1 manu fsiclttrers encouraged bya
suitable protection, flourish, there is always
dctnan'l for agricultural products. at remu-
ucrating prices: so that the cultivators of the
soil rccwive their full share of the be-ncfits of
protection. Manufactures by increasing
population. enhances the value of the soil.
and promote the interest oflhnse who culti-
vate it. ‘The price of land. depends materi-
allv upon its proximity to a market. Go
tliroo,qh the country, and you will see lands
of the same intrinsic value, selling for agri-
cultural purposes, at prices ranging from
two dollars to two hundred dollars per acre»,
when the main consideration which affects
the price, is their situation with reference to
a market. VV'nr~ncvcr or whcrevcrn village

cause. the price of land is increasetl for miles

This principlia is clearly illustrated in the

the seaboard market. The furnaces and

large qnanlitv of provisions. which owirtglo

The MantnIfact.ut'es need Protec-

This proposition hardly requires an argu-
ment’ for its support. VV.= have alt‘t_&'Fl(l_\-' seen
that the foreign manufacturer hasithc advan-
tage in the price of capital. and the price of
labor; this enables him to furnish his fabric
at a lower prjce than the domestic ttianufac-
turcr. Tltotitcb no uniform role can he a-

the truth. to say that lnbor constittilcs one

ry cost.
But it is not so with the American manu-
facturer. \Vhen overtaken by the satire sta-
son of pressure, and decline of prices, he is
cuntpelltd to stop his works. His laborers
will not submit to a reduction. The mo
merit it is proposed to reduce their wages at
a rate corresponding with the reduction
which has l:|l\'t’n place in Europe, the labor-
crs will leave the mill or the workshop, and
engage in agriculture. The lo-v price of
land and the vast uncultivated regions with
which our country ‘lbounds, enable the la-
borers at any time to obtain a living front the
soil. I state these things not by way of com-
plaint, but rather as a matter of r.-joicitig.--
Our laborers are free men, rind are able to
support themselves and their families in one
calling’ ifnot irt another. But while we r.-.
juice at the lll(l*'p(-’l'l(l(.‘fll. condition of our la-
borers. we should not close ottr eyes to the
cfl cts of the high price of labor.
We have seen that the f()l'(‘l£_'I'l manufac-
turer can continue his works through a sea
son of depression, because he can reduce the
wages ofltis operatives; but the Americart
rnariufaclurr-r cannot do it; coosrqucntly hr-
inust suspend oper.-itioris and close: his niills.
Thus while our manufacttir. rs are strucl.
down by a pressure, the foreign manufactur-
er will go on producing at 1] cheap rate, and
when the times improve, he will throw his
goods into the market, and obtain a fair prof-
it on the ruin of our manufacturers. This
atlv.inlag_tc of the foreign:-r over the dotncstir
inanufiicturer grows out of the charar-tvr of
American laborers. And does any one wish
to see this character destroyed, and the free
indcpcndcnt laborers of this country brought
down to the low lt‘Vt:‘l of foreign labor .7-—
Who will have the hardihood to maintain
that the laborers in this free countrv—titt-

The lilecttanics Need Protection.
In nothing do the opposers of it prot"cfive
tariff more frr-qucritly err, than in supposing
that protection is needed only for the ling.-
ntariofictiiring cstablisltiiwnls. The fact is
lhat the large t-SlEll)llSl]m(‘nlS have le‘SS need

who rrtanufacture iii a small way. And all
our mechanics are to be considered as titan-
ufacturers, and stand in need of protection as
much as arty other class. 'I'h+.e common
shot-tnnker, who supplies the little circle
around him. needs a protective tariff as mttch
as the maufacturcr of cotton or wool. Re-
move the duty on ready made clothing, and
not only your tailors, but the seauistresses.
the wives and daughters and sistr-rs of many
an honest laborr--r, would be thrown out of
employ. Abolish your larifl. and your
u-hcelwrigltts and carriage makers would
find their business essentially impaired. For
tvilliout duties our rich men would import
their carriages from abroad. It is 8 great
mistake to suppose that the tariff is designetl
for (:upit:tliSl.S and the large rnnrittfactttring
establishmr-nts alone. The poor mechanics
of the country. those who possess but small
means, and who are obliged to turn their
labor to immediate nCC0ltnl——lhey are the
class who need and who deserve pt'ott‘ction
more than any other class of manufacture-rs.
VVP have thus endeavored to show that
all classes, the farmers. the manufacturers.
the mechanics, and especially the laborers
have a vital interest in the protective policy.
We may in word, say that the inrlurtry, the
labor of the county, requires protcctiort. and
that to withhold it, would be doing violence
to iwcifiv interest.
But I am aware that great efforts have
been made by designing men, to create a
pl"'jl)tllC9 against this svSlt'm- The IRNHPFS
have been told that a tax is imposed upon
them to bttild up the manufacturer in wealth
and splendor. Brit whoever will look at the
the sttbjvct with any degree ofattcntion. may
satisfv himself that the farmer and n‘tc-chartic
are ltt‘l'lPfillt‘(l as much as the manufacturer.
Nor is it true. as has frequently be?!) Said.
that manttfactttring capital is peculiarly pro-
ductive. At one time the m¢lnl)fflCl.l1l'Pl' is
enabled to make large dividends, and at
another none at all. Take the two great
dtapartmcnts of cotton and wool. and I ven-
turn to say that the nclt profits on these in-
vcstrrtents. from the first, have not amounted
to 4 per cent per annum.

Here we have the prices of eleven kinds
of cotton goods from Aug. I842, to Aug.
1843 inclusive. It will be rccollected that
in August, 1842, the duty on all articles
came down to 20 per cent. and that this
present tarifi law took eflr-ct on the first of
St‘plel!ll)t'l', 1842. and raised the duty on the
above int-rttionetl cotton goods far above 20
per cent. Still it will be seen by the above
table that the prices were lower one month
aftvr the tariff than they were one month
l)l‘l0l'B the passage of the act; and in April
I843, 8 months after the passage of the act,
the prices were from l2 to 25 per cent less.
than they were immrdiately before the tarifl
act was passed. It is true, that in August.
I843, the prices had improved a little, and
yet it will be seen that even then they were
lrom 5 to I5 per cent less than they were
one year bclorr-, when the duty was brought
down vastly below what it is under the
present tarifii Let any person examine the
ubove table and he will see that the increase
of dirty has not iiicreast-d the price. We
will like another article, and one of com-
mon consumption, and see how the tttriffhas
afli-cted the price. We will present the
price current of leather, in August 1842.
when the duty was only 20 per cent. and in
December I842, and Dcccn ber 1843, when
the increased duty. by which it will be seen
that the prices have declined notwithstand-
ing the increase ofduty.

Here has been no increase ofprice by the
increase ofdntics. And we lay it down as
a principle. which will hold good in relation
to this subject that the imposition of duties,
upon articles which we can manufacture in
this country, will not in the end increase
their price. The history of the past is full
of instances irt which prices have actually
diminished, with an increase of duty. Give
sufficient protection to our own labor, and
there is no doubt but that Yankee competi-
tion will bring the article down to the lowest
remunerating price.
Conclusion.
VVe have endeivored to show that the
protective system is designed to meet the
wants of the Goverrtutent, and to promote
.the industry of the people; that the system
is not designed for manufacturers mere-ly.
but for the mechanic, the farmer, the day
laborer. We know that its effect. has al-
ready been seen in the revival of business in
every department of human industry. But
though this system is thus iniportsint—’-thus
sustaining the best interrsts of all classes in
the Slate, yet we find that the Democratic
Legislature of Connecticut at its last session
inadea direct attack upon it. They have
not only pronounced the tariff “unwise in its
dr-tails, and objectionable in its provisions;
but they have solemnly resolved. “that the
act of the last Congress, is unequal and im-
just,” and they have called upon our Seria-
[ors and representatives in Congress to (Ili-
tttrb that system which is well adapted to the
wants of the government and the people. It
is for you, fellow citizens, to decide at the
approaching election, whether you will sus-
tain those who war upon your own interests
and upon your country's prosperity. I leave
the case with you. Do your outy and your
State will be l‘9dt‘€ll')(’(I. Do your duty. and
the blessings of a grateful country will rest
upon you.
