VVETIIEHEU OF BALTI-MOUE,On the JVcw Tariff Bill introduced ly Mr. McKay and no io under discussion. We commend tlio following pluin, practical, and unanswerable argument in favor of the present Tariff and in opposition to the substitute) before the present Congress, to the attentive consideration of all into whose hands it may fall. Mr. Wethcrcd is a new member, ami is himself a practical mechanic, lie represents Baltimore county, and received a majority of several hundreds, in .a district that has heretofore given nearly two thousund against the Whigs: Mr. Wethorcd obtained the floor, and gave notice that he intended to confine himself to a matter of fact discussion of the subject under consideration. The gentleman from Indiana (he said) hud declared he intended to call things by their right names; Mr. VV. intended to adopt this course, and hn culled this tin ill' bill o dtrutrnctivo liriiiBli bill a bill to destroy the manufactures and mechanics of our country ; to break tip their workshops and place them in Europe. It was in character with the bill itself that the debate should have been opened by the gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Owen,) a gentleman so ltitely a subject of Great Britain, and with all his predilec tions in favor of the land of his birth. He had no doubt that if the gentleman should re-cmigrate to the land of his birth, and, taking his speech in one hand and this tariff bill in the other, should make lis bow and kneel to Victona, that she would tap him gently on the head and say, "Rise Sir Robert Owen." And if the honorable committee who had reported this bill went into tliat country they would mve their rewards, and bo honored with the titles Karl McKay, "Duon Lord Lewis," and "Duke Dromgnole." Mr. VV. then proceeded more particularly to exam ine some of the rates imposed, and the general, important reductions of duty made by this bill. Sugar, he said, was an exception, being left at a duty of from C5 lo 100 per cent. Now there was a feature ho thought protective. That had no doubt been thrown out to catch tho sweet gentlemen, from Lou isiana. But, (said he,) gentlemen, let us act consis tently ; let us nil sink together, and no one particu- ar interest be tuvoicd above another. Ilo also re ferred to the duties which were left of 77 per cent, on iron, and the high duties upon coal and upon spirits, the former two of which had no doubt been elt to induce the Pennsylvania delegation, by way of drawing double pay, to the support of this bill, to which they were very loth. Mr. Hrodhead interposed to make a remark, but Mr. Wethered declined to yield. Now. with ref erence to the article of wool, (continued Mr. VV.) by the old tariff, upon that costing 7 ponce tier pound and under, there was a duty of 5 per cent. ; the gentlemen who reported tho bill proposed a duty of 15 per cent., and one ot tho members ot the committee proposed a duty of 30 per cent., (which was the amendment now before the committee.) This (said Mr. VV., exhibiting a lock of wool) is a sample ot tho wooi that comes in at 5 per cent, at present ; not a single pound oi it is raised in mis country; tins (re ferring to another luck) is the conrsest American wool ; any gentleman can see the difference between them. Now, if tho gentlemen had informed them selves, they would never havo reported such a bill as this, lie found that blankets, an article lor which this wool was used, bv this bill were suffered to come in at an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. If the bill was framed tor revenue, it would utterly fail, for not nno single pound of tho wool would bo brought into the country if they destroyed the man ufacturing ot it j it would (fo to Europe and be manufactured, and come hero in tho shape of blankets. How different hart been tho conduct ot tho chair man of the committee of Ways and Means now from that of the chairman of that committee laet year. That chairman (now no longer a nienmer in this House) had taken the pains to get inturmation from the farmers, manufacturers, and merchants, to know what effect his bill would have on the diller ent operations of tho country, and hud framed it so as not to meet one single interest of tho country, but to benefit all. Ho found centlcmen getting up and declaring that they hud injured commerce by the bill which was now the law ot the land, no told gentlemen the merchants knew their own business best. His colleague fromBiiltimorcMr.Kcnnedy,) only at the last Congress, had presented a petition of 9,000 voters of his district in favor of a protective tariff, and Mr. VV. knew it to bo a fact that every merchant in Baltimore had signed that memorial but one. Now, as long as this class ot community were satisfied, he hoped gentlemen would show no false sympathy for them. This committee, instead of writing to these classes of tho community, had written to the British manufacturers the British agents and had absolutely appended to their Brit ish bill tables Irom the BritiBh manufacturers, snowing the duty their goods have to pay on coming into our port. Tho committee told them that they had reduced the duties for the purpose of raising revenue : that the revenue would be short; and they said that twentv-fivo million dollars was necessary to carry on the Government What were the facts of the case? Before the ink with which the bill was writ ten was dry, they had got returns from the custom houses of the country, proving thatan abundant rev enue was derived from this bill. In New York alone in January. February and March, we had received $5,731,000 more than the Secretary of the Treasury had estimated for the whole country. The gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Payne,) had asserted that protection was an exclusive privilege to the owners of the spindle, shuttle, and hammer. Now, Mr. VV. asserted that protection was necessary to every interest of the country to the laborer, the man of business, the mechanic, and even the cotton planter. Take away the duty on sugar, and he would leave Southern gentlemen to calculate what that valuable interest having been destroyed would be the amount of that article brought into market in addition to what was already brought in. The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Wright,) asserted that the agriculturists were injured by the protective policy; that the consumer paid additional prices for all he used, and got less prices for all he raised. Mr. VV. denied that the protective policy would have the effect of raising prices upon any thing scarcely that was manufactured in this country. The shirt which he now wore cost twelve and a half cents par yard ; he defied gentlemen to havo pin chased as good a quality before the article was protected at double tho price. When such goods were imported from Calcutta, many years ngo, they s,)ld at twenty-five and thirty cents per yard. Mr. W. also compared the present prices of pantaloon and coat cloths, of boots, of hats, with their prices before their manufacture was protected in this country showing that all of them were now nearly one half loner. He exhibited samples of mousse-lines de luine (as the Reporter believes) which, when first sent into this country by the French manufacturers, had sold at twenty and twenty-five cents per yard, but were now produced by our manufacturers at twelve and a half or sixteen cents; he also exhibited samples of other goods with like intent. Gentlemen asked why it was that they put a protective duty on goods in order to reduce their prices. He answered, that protection was not wanted so much to ensure high prices as to secure a market for our goods; the manufacturers only wanted regular trndo ntwl omrdnvmnnr f,ir pvprv individual ill tfl0 community. When that was the ense, they could run tho whole of their machinery the whole time; but when they had a precarious, fluctuating market, they wero obliged to Btop one half, three-fourths, or perhaps tho whole of their machinery. That was the reason; the manufacturers, obove all things, wanted steadiness of legislation ; this vacillating policy did more to break up manufactures than any thing else. In answer to tho gentleman from Indiann, (tho Representative of the agricultural district,) Mr. VV. would endeavor to show that this protective tariff was the very thing his constituents wanted. Gentlemen might not understand it, but he thought their constituents would. The duty on wool under the present tariff wns 3 cents per pound andllO percent, ad valorem, and on woollens it was the same. The gentleman represented this duty on woollens as for the exclusive benefit of the manufacturers. Now, Mr. VV. asserted that tho manufacturer of woollens had a protection of only about 15 per cent. One-half of tho cost of the cloth was wool ; tho wool-grower then certainly got one-half of the piolec-tion; the foreign manufacturer or shipper cheated us out of ot least one-quarter of the remaining duty which left to the manufacturer barely a protection of 15 percent. Mr. VV. entered into a statistical comparative estimate of the number and value of sheep in this country, with the capital connected with their raising, and the amount and value of agricultural products and capital invested in connection therewith, from which ho drew the conclusion that (speaking within bounds) for every hundred dollars of woollen manufacturers in this country seventy -five dollars went into the hands of the fanner. He also referred to the statement of tho working of a cotton mill in his district, to illustrate tho importance of the cotton manufacturers to tho agricultural interest. From calculations made in connexion with this, it appeared that every hand employed consumed forty dollars' worth of agricultural products yearly, ond that the consumption of agricultural products, at this one establishment, amounted to more than the whole exports, the growth of the Stato of Maryland, during that period. Nearly the whole cost of tho manufactures of cotton (he said) went into the hands of the planter and farmer. With reference to the iron interest Mr. VV. showed that for every ton of iron manufactured in tho United States there was consumed twenty-seven dollars and seventy threo cents of agricultural products. He alluded to tho whole number of persons employed in the iron manufactures in Maryland, and tho vast amount of agricultural products consumed by them, and with reference to Mr. BrinkcrhofT' s statement of the surplus agricultural products of tho West, said there w as one establishment in his district that would consume the wholo surplus products of the gentleman's district. Between four and five millions of persons, including tneir Mmilies and aepenuams, (Mr. VV. was understood to say,) were interested in manufactures, to support each of whom it required at least twelve and a half cents' worth of agricultural products per day. They did not raise any thing for themselves they bought all they ote ; but break up the manufactures, as this British bill. would, and they would bo obliged to become producers themselves or to starve. After these facts, would ony gentleman got up here and assert boldly that tho agriculturist was not benefitted by a protective tariff? It was tho very life and soul of agriculture this system of protection: the home market was worth all the markets in the world. The gentleman from Indiana mentioned one fact, inadvertently he supposed, which was strong in support of his(Mr. VV.'s) argument. He had stated that nur exports in one year had swelled up to fifty millions more than usual, while our imports during that time had not increased. England (continued Mr. VV.) protected every thing she rniscd and manufactured ; and, although she was cited as a free trade nation worthy of imitation, the statement of certain items of the British tariff, which he had taken the trouble to draw up, showed a duty of one thouasnd per cent on our tobacco. Gentlemen might say that that was for revenue. She imposed twelve hundred per cent on the manufactured article this two hundred per cent, then, he supposed, was for the protection of the manufacturer. He also referred to some other of the duties imposed by England npon various articles of our exportations. Mr. VV. hoped the policy which had been started with our Government, and which had been continued from that day to this, with tho exception of a short interval under the lato tariff, would be continued. With it there would not bo scarcely any bounds to the tuturo ereatness of our country. We had all the elements of a separate and independent political ex istence ; we hod all the raw materials, cotton, wool, hemp, indigo, &c, within our borders. It was im possible for any nation to become ncn wiucn exported the raw materials in exchange for tho manufac tures of other countries. Were gentlemen aware that England took our cotton, paying only seventy- five cents per pound for the best, and returned it to us charging us twenty dollars per pound, ltns difference had gone to build up Great ltritian ; she had been built up by that system by being the the workshop of the world. She would preach her free trade doctrines, establish her presses among us for tho purpose of disseminating these doctrines, and Mr. VV. was sorry to find that she had so many adjuncts on the floor of the American Congress ; and he felt rejoiced to know that there was not one true- hearted Whig in this assembly who endorsed these destructive doctrines. I.ct the people know it, said he. and tliev will always do rip-lit Why had gen tlemen refused to pass the resolution offered by the p-cntlemnn from Illinois, (believed to be Mr. Hardin,) calling for information in relation to Duff Green's visit to England ? The people wanted it and it waa refused. Mr. VV. read from the London Speculator of 1843, an article, in which the doctrine was that the Americans must still continue to export their raw materials and depend upon the manufactures of England in return ; that in all economical relations the United States still stood in the relation of colonies to the mother cuuntry. He wanted the Democracy to know the fact that their Representatives on this floor wanted to bring us back to the "relation of colonies to the mother country." Ho relerred to the fact that nearly half a million of dollars was raised in England to enlighten our people as regarded their true interest ; to induce them to believe as this bill would go far towards effecting that the relation of colonies to the mother country was the best for us. The gentleman from Indiana hated to hear the words "pauper labor." Mr. VV. hoped he would hato to see it still more. He had seen some of that pauper labor, and he must return his thanks to the gen-tleuinn from Indiana fMr. Owpnl fur the very inter esting statistics he had given the House with reference to the pauper labor of Europe. Mr. W. had been on a visit .tuEngltind i he had seen her labor-. ers, and he was determined as long as he lived to keep up the barrier that protected our own Americans from competition with such labor. He had seen as fine looking girls as were to be met any day on our avenue whose daily occupation it was to pick up manure on the turnpike roads from sunrise until sunset for the scanty, miserable pittance of (id. per day ; he had seen women breaking stone on their turnpikes. The gentleman from Indiana, he supposed, had seen more than nil this, and yet he would come here and tell the freemen of America that they must break down the barriers now that kept the product of that labor from us, and introduce it to the detriment of our own labor! In allusion to Mr. Lrinkerhoff's remark with reference to tho morality of the operatives engaged in manufacturing, Mr. VV. said he would tell the gentleman that a more virtuous population did nut exist than the wives and daughters of the manufacturer and mechanic; and if the gentlemen would subscribe for the paper conducted exclusively by these operatives in one of our manufacturing villages, ho would alter his opinion in regard to this useful class of the community. Mr. W. wished to call to the particular attention of the committee and of the country the fact that these self-styled democrats upon the floor of this Congress those who professed so much love for the people, were determined to disregard the voice of the American people, and pass this British tariff bill. Since this bill had been reported by the committee, they had had memorials from all classes of the community entreating Congress not to interfere with the present salutary tariff law, in such numbers that, if left ou tho Speaker's table, they would hide the Speaker entirely from the Bight of the House ; and it was also a fact that not one single petition in favor of this British destructive bill had been handed into the House. These "democrats" tapped tho people on the head, saying that they were their friends, while at the same time they were stabbing them under the fifth rib. But the people were beginning to understand it Mr. W. referred to his own district, which gave a " democratic " majority of l,8u'0; his opponent had taken the ground of opposition to a protective tariff, but was willing to go for a " revenue," "judicious," " horizontal " one. Ha had taken the broad ground in favor of a protective tariff, and had overcome not only the 1,800 opposite majority, but stood here with a mnjority of 534. That was the ground on which the battle had been fought ; and he told gentlemen from the West and the North, that the eyes of their constituents were on them, and that the people, instead of setting them in one of these easy haircloth chairs, on brass rollers, with their feet, some of them put up in the face of tho ladies in the gallery and of the Speaker of the House, would place them in a state of dignified retirement, and give them full leisure to engage in the pursuits and enjoyments ot private lite. Mr. VV. further relerred, as an argument decisivo of itself against alteration of the present taw, to its beneficent effect upon the currency of the country, in turning the balance of trade in our favor, and supplying us with a currency unsurpassed by any in the world, under its operation the importation of gold and silver for the past yenr having been $23,741,000 and the exportation $3,118,000, leaving a balance of $20,700,000 to sustain the circulating medium of the country; and to tlio disastrous effects which would result from the proposed reduction of the tariff, in the drain of specie required to pay the increased importations that would be necessary to brinz the same amount of revenue, in leaving us with a depreciated papei currency. All our merchants knew this, ho said; and nine-tenths of them even in New York were tarlrl men protective tariff men. Mr. W. recurred to his position, that almost all articles of our consumption were lower than formerly, under the present tariff law; and was referring to the report ot Mr. Hudson tnirn the Uommittee on Manufactures, (upon the refusal of the House to print extra copies of which, in passing, he commented,) aim u oiner sources in illustration wereoi, wnen nit hour expired. A STRONG SPEECH. Hear what a "howling tiger" from the "great west has to say upon the subject of Oregon and a war with Great Britain: "Whar, I say tiriar, il the individual who would give up the first foot, the first outside shadow of a foot of the great Oregon ? There aint no such individual. Talk about treaty occapations to a country over which the great American eagle has flown ! I scorn treaty occupation, who wants a parcel of low Hung, "outside barbarians" to go in cahoot with us, ana snare aline a piece oi land mat always waa and always will be ours? Nobody. Some people talk although they were affeerd of England. H'Ao't affeerd ? Hav'nt we lick'd her twice, and can't we lick her again? Lick her! yes: just as easy as a bar can slip down a fresh-peeled saplin. Some skecry folks talk about the navy of England? but who cares for the navy? Others say that she is the mistrtsi of the ocean. Supposin she is aint we the master of it ? Can't we cut a canal from the Mississippi to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, turn all the water into it, and dry up the d d ocean in three weeks! Whar, then, would be the navy? It would bene iraar There never would have been any Atlantic ocean if it had'nt been forthe Mississippi, nor never will be after we've turned the waters ot that big drink into the Mammoth Cave! When that's done, you'll see all their steam ships and their tail ships they splurge so much about, lying high and dry, flounderin' like so many turklei left ashore at lw tide. That's the way we'll fix 'em. Il'ho'i afl'eeid!
