POLITICAL economy. ' - ««<* Extract from the Message of Govern Governnour - nour Governnour Wolcott, to the Legislature of Connecticut, at its present session. ALL our national distrevses proceed, in my opinion, frpm a defective system of finance, which will, I am persuaded, more and more weaken and impoverish the country, until it is changed. The low rate of interest, and the decreasing value of labour, are sure signs of the Stagnation of every kind of active em-' ployment; and the high prices of our publick stocks in England, in connexion with the rate of exchange, are infallible indications that the representatives of our wealth are rapidly trans transferring - ferring transferring to that country. The produce of our farms being refused, these transfers' are made in payment for fabricks of wool, cotton, linen, and metals, which our soil and our arts might produce in abundance, not merely for home consumption, but for the support of our com commerce, - merce, commerce, which can only revive through manu manufactures, - factures, manufactures, or during European wars in which we remain neutral. The fabricks which we im import, - port, import, we yearly consume, thereby constantly destroying the capital applied in payment, and. leaving our accumulating debt as mortgages upon our remaining resources. There is now no civilized independent na nation - tion nation but ourselves which has not become a awakened - wakened awakened to the necessity of protecting its in internal - ternal internal industry. From the Baltick to the Me Mediterranean, - diterranean, Mediterranean, the effort is universal, and we cannot, with impunity, disregard the admoni admonitions - tions admonitions which their examples inculcate. A com comparison - parison comparison between the condition of France and this country win illustrate the difference be between - tween between wise and inefficient systems of political economy. For more than £5 ytears, France harassed by desolating wars - and within five years, she was oppress- d by foreign ar armies, - mies, armies, excited to acts of extortion by vindic vindictive - tive vindictive resentments. Now she supports a circu circulating - lating circulating medium in gold and silver coins ; her agriculture, arts and manufactures are flour flouri*hing - i*hing flouri*hing ; her commerce is reviving, and both excite the jealousy of her neighbours and ri rivals - vals rivals ; h»T revenue exceeds her expenditures, and her taxes are diminishing. Excepting the short period of the last war, we have enjoyed peace, and for most of the time have supposed ourselves to be prosperous; but the acquish tions of which we have boasted, for twenty years, have vanished, or are invested in un unproductive - productive unproductive property, which is daily diminish diminishing - ing diminishing in value. Our industry is becoming lan languid - guid languid ; our currency consists of notes which, are representatives of our debts due to banks ; even usury is less profitable than heretofore ; our national debt exceeds what it did when Die present government was first organized, including the debt of the revolutionary war, and the State debts which were then assumed, while our revenue is unequal to our annual expenses, on the most reduced establishment which we <ian make. No man will deny that this contrast is true, or affirm that it is too highly coloured ; and I deem it my indispensable duty to present it to your consideration, in consequence of the un unexpected - expected unexpected crisis at which our affairs have ar arrived. - rived. arrived. Congress are exclusively vested with powers to regulate commerce with foreign na nations - tions nations and between the States, and yet find themselves unable to adopt regulations which would protect those industrious pursuits of the people, to which they were invited during a period of great difficulty and danger. For want of uniform laws on the subject of bank bankruptcy, - ruptcy, bankruptcy, and in consequence of decisions in the Supreme Court of the United States, local frauds can be committed with impunity, and yet no man, whatever may have been his pre previous - vious previous character and conduct, can, on the sur surrender - render surrender of all his property, be discharged from liability for his debts. Thus it has happened practically, that the non-observance of a Con Constitution, - stitution, Constitution, which was designed to protect the rights of the people of all the States, and to harmonize all their institutions, has, in effect suspended two of the most important powers of government in every State - has annihilated many branches of industry - indirectly en encouraged - couraged encouraged fraud ; and condemned great num numbers, - bers, numbers, throughout this extensive country, to hopeless poverty and indolence. Man in a solitary and insulated condition, is the most defenceless and wretched being with which we are acquainted ; but in a state of society, and with a mind illuminated by science, he holds dominion over the earth, the air and the sea, and renders all nature tributary to his ease and conduit. The an ancient - cient ancient allegories of Prometheus and Hercules are illustrations of the degradations of science and human labour, during the early ages oC mankind, and of the subsequent effects which were produced by their emancipation and united energy. These effects survive in the literature, histories and monuments of the microscopick republicks of Greece, as proofs of the elevation which free states may attain by concord, while their ruins are admonitory admonitorytokens - tokens admonitorytokens of the fatal consequences of disunion and faction. It is a law of human nature, that man never can exert his powers to the injury of his associates, without harm to him himself. - self. himself. Selfishness is never profitable. The preceding observations are not made under the influence of any suspicion that the interests of this state have been particularly neglected, or that injuries to us are meditat meditated - ed meditated from any quarter : on the contraiy, I be believe - lieve believe that we have no reason to be dissatisfied with our relative condition, and that ' there ia no state in the union to which our citizens can migrate, with any prospect of advantage. - We, at least, are not perplexed with contro controversies - versies controversies arising from any supposed opposition of interests between different occupations and* professions. Our agriculture, commerce and manufactures are equally doptessed, an<l we perceive that no branch of industry can flour flourish, - ish, flourish, but in consequence of events and meas measures, - ures, measures, which will be beneficial to every em-
