~ II our oueyst will look at the manliests OF
the late vessels from Europe, ne can answer his
own question. Wo are importing many goods at
present, but the bulk Of them are such as DO not
com. in competition NTH our ovn prsne'pas
manufactures We are not importing PLAIN Cot
tons, Flannels, Nails, Wire, Screws, Glass ware,
&c. &c, in any considerable quantities, and
these articles are comparatively cheap, but there
are great many articles inadequately protected oy
our Tariff, or not attempted to be at ALL and these
are pouring in upon us largely. Watches and
Jewerv, for instance, it was found impossible to
protect, on account Of the facility of smuggling
and SO they are largely coming In under duty
of n per cent Bu. if we could keep out For
eign Watches by Tariff, we have not doubt
that they would in ten years be made here cheap
er than they ever could or can be eimported; and
the same of Woolen Goods. We have always In
sisted tha. our Country would import more in
value and infinitely more in bulk under good
Protective Tariff than under absolute Free Trade,
because the people being employed and fairly paid
would be able to pay for more-but it would not
consist of the same articles by great deal.
