Excerpt from Mr. Clay's Speech Upon the Tariff, or the "American System, " So Called, or the Anglican System, in Fact, Introduced Here, And Perverted in Its Most Material Bearing Upon Society, by the Omission of a System of Corn Laws, for the Protection of Agriculture: Mr. Giles' Speech Upon the Resolutions of Inquiry in the House of Delegates of Virginia, in Reply to Mr. Clay's Speech, Also, His Speech in Reply to Gen. Taylor's, Accompanied With Sundry Other Interesting Subjects and Original DocumentsIf we suppose no actual abandonment of farming, but, what is most likely, a gradual and imperceptible employment of population in the business of manufacturing, instead ofbeing compelled to resort to agri culture, the salutary efi'ect would be nearly the same. Is any part of our common country likely to be injured by a transfer of the theatre of fabrication, for our own consumption, from Europe to America? All that those parts, if any there be, which will not or cannot engage in manufactures, should require, is, that their consumption should be well supplied, and if the objects of that consumption are produced in other parts of the Union, that can manufacture, far from having on that account, any just cause of complaint, their patriotism will and ought to inculcate a cheerful acquiescence in what essentially contri butes, and is indispensable necessary, to the prosperity of the common family.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
