The following extract Is taken from
"Thirty Years' View" In the American
senate by Thomas U Benton in comment'
Ing on the events of the year 1S32. Vol
ume 1, page 271.
"It so happened that while the advocates
of the 'American System' were calling so
earnestly for government protection to
enable them to sustain themselves at
home that the Custom House books were
showing that a great many 6peclei of our
manufactuters, and especially the cotton
goods, were going abroad to far distant
countries, and sustaining themselves on
remote theatres against all competition
and beyond the range of any help from
our laws. Mr Clay himself spoke of these
exportation to show the excellence of our
fabrics; and that they were worth pio
tection; I used the tame face to show that
they were Independent of protection, and
said:
"And here I would ask, how many and
which aje the articles that require the
present high rate of protection? Certain
ly not the cotton manufacturers, for the
senator from Kentucky Mr Clay, who ap.
pears on this floor as the leading champion
of domestic manufrctures, and whose ad
missions of facts must be conclusive
against his arguments of theory, this sen
ator tells you, and dwells upon the dis
closure with triumphant exultation, that
American cottons are now exported to
Asia and sold at a profit In the cotton
markets of Canton and Calcutta. Surely,
sir, our tariff laws of 1S24 and 1S2S are not
In force in Bengal and China, and I apperl
to all mankind for the truth of the Infer
ence that If our cottons can go to these
countries and be sold at a profit without
any protection at all they can stay at home
and be sold to our own citizens, without
loss under a less protection than 50 per
centum! One fact Mr President, is said
to be worth a bundled thousand theories;
I will add that It is worth a hundred thous
and speeches; and this fact that the Amer
ican cottons now traverse the one-half of
the clrcumfurence of thlsg'obe cross the
equinoctial line, descend to the Antipodes,
seek foreign markets on the double theatre
of British and Asiatic competition and
come off victorious from the contest, Is a
full and overwhelming answer to all the
speeches that have been made, or even
be made, in favor of high protective duties
on these cotton at home. The only ef
fect of such duties is to cut off Importa
tions to create monopoly at home to
enable our manufacturers to sell their
goods higher to their own Christian fellow-citizens
than to the pagan worship
pers of l'o and of Brahma!' To enable the
inhabitants of the Ganges and the Br.r
rampooter to wear American coltons up
on cheaper terms than the inhabitants of
the Ohio and Mississippi, and every West,
ern citizen knows the fact that when these
shipments of American cottons were being
made to the extremities of Asia the price
of these coltons were actually raised 20
and 25 per cent In all the towns of the
west; with the further difierence to our
prejudice that we can only pay f..r tnem
in money, while the inhabitants of Asia
make payment In the products of their
own country .
"This Is what the gentleman's admission
provef ; but I do not come here to argue
upon admissions, whether candid or un
guarded, of the adverse speakers, I bring
my own tacts and proofs; ar.d, really, sir,
I have a mind to complain that the gen
tleman's admiss'on about cottons has
crippled the force of my argument; that it
has weakened its effect by letting out half
at a time, and destroyed its novelty by an
anticipated revelation. The truth is, I
? have this fact (that we exported domestic
cottons) treasured up In my magazine of
material, and intended to produce it at the
proper time to show that we exported this
article, not to Canton and Calcutta alone
but to all quarters of the globe; not a few
cargoes only, by way of experiment, but
in great qualities, as a regular trade to the
amount of a million and a quarter of dol
lars annually ; and that of this amount, no
less than $40,000 worth, In the year 1830,
had done what the combined fleets and
armies of the woi Id could not do; it had
scaled the Rock of Gibraltar, penetrated
to the heart of the British garrison, taken
possession of his Britannic Majesty's
soldiers, bound their arms, legs and bodies,
and strutted in triumph over the ramparts
and batteries of thr.t unattackahle fortrest .
And "now, sir, I will use no more of the
gentleman's admissions; I will draw upon
my own resources, nd will show nearly
the whole list of our domestic manufact
ures to be In the same flourishing condi
tion with cottons, actually going abroad
to seek competition, without protection,
1 n every foreign clime, and contending
victoriously with foreign manufactures
whenever they can encounter them. I
read from the Custom House icturns of
1830 the last has been printed. Listen
t3 It.
"This is the list of domestic miiiiiifiic
t.iri's exported to foreign countries. It com
prehends tin' whole or nearly Hie whole of
that long cutiil.tgutf of itonu. whi'li tM.
senator from Ki'iitiu ky, 1 Mr I I, rend to
U8 on the si'i'onil il;iy of his ilisumrso; mid
shows Hie whole to Ik? piing iibrnad with,
put il shallow of amtictitn, to seek conipe
Ution in foreign markets, with l!io foreign
gooia of nil the world. The list of articles
I have read, contain nearly fifty Yaxie!ie of
manufacture (and I have omitted many
minor articles) amounting in value to near
six millions of dollars! And now behold the
diversity of human reasoning. The senator
from Kentuckey exhibits a list of articles
manufactured in the United States, ' and
argues that the slightest diminution in the
enormous protection they now enjoy will
overwhelm the whole in ruin and cover the
country with distress. I read the same
identical list, to show that all these articles
go abroad and contend victoriously with
their foreign rivals in all foreign markets."
STRONG rOIXIS.
Chairman Springer in closing the debate
on the wool tariff bill said: "The commit
tee on ways and means asked the bureau of
statistics to furnish a statement showing
prices of wool of like quality in the United
States and Europe, during the existence of
the wool tariff, from 18G6 to this time. The
bureau referred the matter to S N D North,
secretary of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers, and the special agents
of the census office in charge of the wool
statistic!. The statement furnished made a
comparison between the Ohio medium wash
ed wool and the port prices of Australian
fleece, which are considered of substantially
the same quality. The prices, when re
duced to a gold basis, showed that the
prices of these portB in London nnd Boston
varied little from year to year up to 1890;
except during the unusual years of 1871 and
1872, in which the prices were unusually
affected by speculation. Leaving these out
of account, it appears for the remaining
twenty-three years the average price of por
Philip fleeco was one-fourth of a cent per
pound more than Ohio medium washed in
Boston, when Port Philip fleece was 20 cents
per pound, nnd if protection protects it
would make the price of Ohio wool 20 cents
greater. The fact that it is really lower in
price than the Australian fleece shows that
the American wool-growers do not receive
any increase in price by reason of the tariff.
The reason for this is that tho American
wool minufacturera do not manufacture
from American wool exclusively, but mix
with foreign wools, cotton, shoddy and
other adulterants.
"As wool, under tho operation of the
tariff, cannot be exported, the American
wool-growers are confined to a restricted
market. Under these conditions of manu
facture foreign and domestic wools are not
in competition. They must be used to.
;ether, complementing each other for the
manufacture of woolen goods acceptable to
this market. With free wool the price of
these goods would bo reduced to the extent
of the tariff on the foreign wools used in
their manufacture. This decrease in price
would largely increase the manufacture and
ale of such goods, and so increase the de
mand for American wools at the lnanufac
ories. Ill other words it would cheapen
ireign wool by the removal of tho tariff.
This benefits not only the wool-grower and
woolen manufacturer, but is of advantage
to the general public, who are consumers.
n conclusion, Springer called attention to
the fact that placing raw sugar on the free
list in 1800 caused an increased consump
tion of sugar to an amount of nearly 24 per
cent inl'.ll. and said the passage of the
resent bill would have a similar effect in
the increased consumption of woolen goods,
ind came the starting up of 271 establish
ments, which were idle during 1890, and
would give employment to $74,000,000 of
apital, causing an increase in the use of
materials worth 648,000.000, a demand for
Gl,000,0O0;pounds of domestic, and 27,000,
000 pounds more of foreign wool, give em
ployment to 52,000 hands, with wages ef
$18,000,000. With an increased demand
the prices of wool and labor will increase."
