Tlie Agriculture of the

V" United States. a But let us further and for a moment, regard Baltimore a3 a market for the farmers of Maryland—for we wish the home market clearly understood most persons know no more of its real value than they do of what is happening in the interior of the earth—and it is the in re to re

or mystify facts. We are about 70,000. Allow to each person vegetable food equal only to a peck of corn per week," and we shall appear to consume 910,000 bushels of grain if we add what is required for the support of horses used for draft, &c. the whole may be moderately estimated as equal to one million of bushels of wheat, per an-

each person wastes or consumes hall

a pound of annimal food per day, as we think that they do and more, and we shall have £5 millions of pounds a year. We also annually require for our families, work shops and factories, more than 100,000 cords of wood Let us see what these three articles, these three only, will amount to— „v 1,000,000 bushels grain at 1 dollar 1,000.000^ 25,000.000 lbs. of anniinal food at 4 cts. 1,000,000 100 000 cords of wood

C* We see it lately stated in the papers that col. Dummett, of Florida, has made thirty hhds. of sugar from cane raised on thirty-five acres of land— say, only 50,000 lbs. ,«$|The duty, or tax, upon which, if imported, would be g900 5*. this a Pennsylvania farmer would, of itself esteem a neat little profit on the cultivation ol a whole farm, for a year. But such are not so favored by soil and climate, and the bounty ol the general government. 1 h»* sugar crop of Louisiana is about 40,000 hhds. (ies* than 10, 00 in 1810,) or, say 44.000.000 lbs the duty on which, if imported, in exchange for bread stulls, &c. would be one million three hundred ami twenty thousand dollars, and ihis is probably divided between les than two hundred persons or. if we allow it to benefit all the people of Louisiana, is more than sLvteen dollars per head, for every man, woman and child, of the slate, as a »4 bounty Now, a fad? equal to this on all the people of the U. States, would produce a revenue of nearly out hundred and sixty millions of dollars a year! Verily, verily, this is •'taxing the many for the benefit of the few"— and yet, wonderful to be told, Louisiana is opposed to the tarilf and the protection of other branches of domes* tic industry, as called for by the far mers and others, who make up nearly three fourths ol the whole people of the

United States. But this is not all. Sugar has become almost a necessary of life—it certainly is one of its comforts, desired and used by the rich and the poor. The whole amount cofimnxed in the United States may be about 120,000,000 lbs. say

imported

and 44 of domestic production. The duty on the former is 3 cents per lb. and amounts to Si,280,000 dollars, o,n what costs about five millions in the foreign islands and places wherein i( is obtained so that the tax is very nearly fifty per cent ad valorem, which is actually collected on two thirds ol the whole quantity used, to the benefit of those of our own countrymen who produce the other third. And yet Louisiana dtclaims against monopolies" and the tariff, which supplies her with such cotton goods for 12-1 cents per yard has lately cost her 20 or 25 cents per yard

The duty on sugar is too high^&nd it would have beerf* reduced but lor the encouragement of the agriculture of Louisiana'—-and that which is for he^ peculiar and selfish advantage, if the rerm may be allowed, while it deprives the Treasury of 1,320.000 dollars a year, taxes the people in the sum ol 1,140,000 dollars annually, more than they would pay, if the duty was reduc:ilonlyto two cents per pound which would still be a high one. As it is, che poor bluck wood-sawyer, purchas-

J#.* -8*

ingonly two pounds per week for his family, pays a tax of three dollars and ten cents a year on this solitary article It is the most onerous tax that we have, and bears particularly hard upon the laboring classes, ©specially the farmers, mechanics and manufacturers. Wre ourselves use as much of it, in proportion to the number of our familv. as the richest persons among us, in the ordinary way.*- It is tru-, we might dispense with it—the tax paid is voluntary," in the impudent cant of purse-proud dealers in foreign merchandize, who are daily, using our money, obtained through credits at the custom house for the support of their trade So, as the Indians dispense with the use of shirts, might we—and it is voluntary" to prefer the snug and comfortable clothes that we wear to the sheep-skin dresses of the Hottentots—it is voluntary" even that we live and pay taxes at all, for we

And, at these moderate estimates, it appears that the Baltimore market, because of the bread-stuffs, animal food and fuel consumed therein, annually amounts to m(»re than two millions and a quarter of dollars or one fourth of the whole value of all the bread stuff* Sf meat* exported from all the U. States

Previous to entering upon a more general and particular examination of our great staple for export, cotton, we shall notice one product of agriculture which has a most extraordinary character and operation, indeed—-not on ex ports but ou consumption we mean iar. 4'

revenue by increasing the consumption of sugar,) would have been more than compensated for by withdrawing the fleets of men-of-war that are keptabroad for the protection of property in ships and their cargoes These things would not have taken place wholly on the retaliatory principle, though the very worm that is trodden upon is al lowed to turn, but because of the special rightfulness of them, circumstanced as the grain growing and manufacturing interests were. If refused the means of paying taxes.f it was their b. unden duty to reduce the amount ol faxes demanded. There is a quid pro quo which operates in every condition of life and, as the saying is every prudent man will cut his coat according to his cloth," Look at it!—here was Louisiana receiving a hot-bed protection" of 1,320,000 dollars ayear, in a bounty paid by the people on her sugar, and there were the ship owners defended at the cannon's mouth, at the cost to the people of a much larger sum —the whole trade to the Mediterranean, for example, not taking off $o much of gross value in our products as the cost of the fleet amounts to and yet both these were against the taritl bill of 1824, intended for the encouragement of our farmers and manufacturer?) and supported by their representatives in congress, as the votes will yet shew We would not either "razee" the duty on sugar, or tomahawk" the navy but those who live should let live. No state in the union profits like Louisiana by the tariff— the price of her cotton is assisted by it, as we shall shew when we speak about that article, though she is supplied with cotton goods at from 40 to 50 per cent cheaper than ocfore the act of 1824 was passed $ but the direct and actual protection or bounty which she receives, is equal to sixteen dollars per head for every one of her people—and were all the people of the United States so protected, the amount of protection would be in the sum of one hundred and sixty millions of dollars a year as before stated. and repeated that it may not be forgot ten. No one can dispute this. And further, is a monopoly" because of climate in the south less odious than a "monopoly" because of climate in the north, or the west) or the east What is the sugar planter better than the wool grower Is it not quite as necessary to have clothes to shield us from the cold of our winters, as sugar to sweeten our coffee But we de *irc both, and only ask, while the production of the last is protected, that the "rowth and manufacture ol wool for The other may he encouraged and

means of doing it The time being fitted for it. we will confidently make it known to the sugar planters and shipowners, that, if the tariff bill ol 1824 had not passed, the tax upon imported sugar would have begn reduced to two cents per lb. and that any deficiency in the revenue which might have arisen from that nroceeding, (though we bei- it u«. eat staple of our country, cotton heve that if might have increased the

mutual concessions and accommodptions thatthe peace of families and societies i* maintained but there is a disposition wisely implanted in the human mind, to require such concessions and accommodations betweea persons possessing- equal rights, ami in operates in great things as the writer of this really put it into practice about: two years ago in a small affair in returning from my dinner, I was acc^tomed, almost every day, to meet a. dandy Englishman just imported, (or eloped* as the case might be.) who majestically strutted along the middle of the pavement I gave way, and went unthinkingly to the right or the efr, for a considerable time but, at la was satisfied that he demanded this mage to his puppyism. The when we were about to pass, I kept t* a middle of the pavement—he -•-to rapidly as usual, with his bead up and eyes raised, and wholly unpreparnu :i receive my elbow, which he run afoul of, (having turned myself half-rou to accommodate him with it,) and he *1 nearly fell down in consequence— ing a lighter man than myself. Ha looked wildly for a moment at me, I looked calmly at him. but not a word was said—we passed, and ever after that he conceded a part of the pavement to me, as I had heen quite willing to yield apart of it to him, or any other person, though black and a slave. This familiar case, will serve as well as the most elaborate one that could be stated, to shew the principle on which society is sustained, -1-' ,*

We shall now present some facts and opinions bearing upon the present staple of

We have b«en lately honored with many letters containing sentiments similar to those in the extract we aro about to introduce, which is from ona of the most highly honored and worthy gentlemen of' the south, and which came to hand since this article was in preparation for the press. He says—

There is a perfect coincidence of opinion between us on the subject ot protecting home manufactures Bad aa the times are for the cotton planters, (of whom I am one in a small way.) they would be much worse, but for tho demand of our manufactories for tha raw article. I should like to sec mora effectual protection extended to tho growth and manufacture of wool, These and such like measures will iu time make us independent."

The preceding is a literal cxtract, and the particular words are marked as by the writer himself and such, wo repeat it, is a rapidly growing opinion among the people of the south. time will come, wheji cotton planters shall be many times more anxious lor a protective ta' iif than the cotton spinners To the last, indeed, it is now of little importance, except to maintain steadiness in the homo market for they meet the British in

And on this occasirn.it maybe proper to express our serious belief, that, if the doctrines which we have supported for so m.iR,y years, have been beneficial to any one class of the people more than another that class is the cultivators of cotton. It is with much satisfaction, indeed, observe that many of the plant^r^ hegin to discover this, and that a radical change of opinion may be speedily hoped for A little while ago, or three or four vears since, the people of (ha eastern states, devoted to comrncrce and navigation, were as much opno^ed to a tariff for the encouragement and protection of domestic ma ufactures, as those of the southern states now are. It has been demonstrated* that sucpess in manufactures is increased the commerce and navigation of the cast, and iras, also, adding powerfully to the wealth and population of these stages. But with how much more reason may it be expected that they will assist tna southern states, seeing that they evei^ now and already consume one-fourth of the whole crop of cotton raised la them.
