Life Public Services Of Henr PDF Download

Excerpt from An Address on the Life, Character and Public Services of Henry Clay: Delivered on the Day of August, A. D. 1852, at Weldon, North Carolina, Upon Invitation In 1820, he said: Friendly as I am to the existence of domestic manufactures, I would not give to them unreason able encouragement by protecting duties. Their growth ought to be gradual, but sure. It was a further principle of that system, announced by him in 1833, that, after the accumulation of capital and skill, the manufacturers would stand alone, unaided by govern ment, in competition with the imported articles from any quarter of the world. Finally, it was an additional principle of the system to pro bibit the importation of nothing by protection, but, in impose ing the duties laid for revenue, to adjust them so as to afford incidental protection to our own home industry.
