VIEWS of the MANUFACTURES in the UNITED STATES; derived from the returns made to the Treasury, pursuant to an Act of Congress, passed May 1st, 1810. In a letter from S. L. MITCHILL, to the Hon. THOMAS NEWTON, dated Washington, January 7, 1812.


DEAR SIR,


The act further to alter and amend. the act providing for the third census or enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, passed May 1, 1810, made it the duty of the several marshals, secretaries, and their assistants, while, they were taking the census of the people, to take also, under the direction of the secretary of the treasury, and according to the instructions he should give, an account of the several manufacturing establishments and manufactures within their several districts, territories, and divisions. It was directed that the whole of the information so collected should be returned to the secretary of the treasury. It was enacted too that for such additional services, suitable com- pensation should hercafter be made by law. The money appropriated for counting the inhabitants and registering their manufactures, was one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which is understood to have been more than enough to defray the whole cost.


Agreebly to the request of the committee of commerce and manufactures, I have paid some attention to the returns made by the marshals on the state of manufactures in our country. They abound with information; though some of them are executed with greatly . more care and exactness than others. Massachusetts appears to have been done with remarkable correctness and method, by counties and towns. The partial accounts are followed by a general resapitulation;


APPENDIX.


and the whole is an example of order and perspicuity ex- ceedingly creditable to Mr. Prince. South Carolina, on the contrary, is an example of carelessness beyond any of the returns. It is deficient in many important respects; and seems to 'have been sent away in such a hurry, that the columns of figures are not added together into an aggre- gate sum at the foot.


The information collected in the other states, evinces intermediate degrees of observation and accuracy. Yet it ought to be mentioned of New-Jersey, a state famous for in- dustry and manufactures, that the county abstracts only are forwarded, without any summary whatever of the whole. To render the statement instructive, the reader must be- stow the labour of forming the general conclusion; and in attempting this, he will discover frequent instances of in- completeness or inaccuracy. With this may be contrasted the return from Pennsylvania, which evinces an extent of research, on the part of Mr. Smith, honourable to him as an officer, and exhibits the manual arts and trades of the com- monwealth to which he belongs, in a highly advantageous light. Their numbers and kinds are displayed with extraor- dinary detail, both as to the branches carried on and capi- tal employed.


I nevertheless undertook the task of making a general abstract, and of deducing a sort of comprehensive table. I began with the return of Mr. Curtenius, from New-York, and entered the total sums of his several articles in one line upon a sheet of paper. There I recorded the 867 tanneries, 491 distilleries, 42 breweries, 33 068 looms, 467 fulling-mills, 443 carding machines, 26 cotton manufactories, 28 paper- mills, 124 hatteries, 6 glass-houses, 2 powder-mills, 18 rope- walks, 10 refineries of sugar, 28 oil-mills, 11 blast.furnaces, 10 air-furnaces. 44 cut-nail manufactories, and 48 forges, with some other things, particularly the cloths manufactured in that extensive commonwealth. On attempting, however, to arrange the other returns under the same heads, I found great difficulties in the way. For, though Connecticut, North Caro- lina, Kentucky, and indeed most of the states and territories, corresponded very well to a certain number of titles, yet many of the latter were so difform and various, that it was impossible to class them under corresponding heads.


There were further difficulties. Maine was observed by a different officer from him who took the census of Massachu- setts. The return from that district is so unlike the one made by the other marshal, that it is extremely difficult, it' not impossible, to make them correspond and harmonize. I des- paired, therefore, ofeffecting a reconcilement in the returns from the two parts of Massachusetts. Again; Tennessee is in very much the same situation. The marshal of the western


LVI


APPENDIX.


district of that state has made a valuable return; his col. league of the eastern district has not equalled him in parti- cularizing and distributing his subject, and besides, has pur- sued so different a plan that it is not practicable to adapt them.


I might easily make other observations. The return from Rhode-Island might be quoted for its minuteness and accu- racy. But, notwithstanding the appearance of observation and fidelity which pervades it, there is almost or quite an impossibility of adjusting its materials with those contained in the other returns. The like remark applies to Ohio, though its return contains indications of perspicacity and in- telligence; and to Michingan, whose secretary, Atwater, has furnished a paper which, though small, is a moddle of per- spicuity and neatness.


After several attempts to arrange and methodize the ma- terials, so as to bring them into one compendious view, I became convinced that my labours were fruitless, and aban- doned the undertaking. It is certainly a subject of regret that a grand total cannot be formed of all the manufacturing establishments in the nation. Yet we may rejoice that so much has been done. When the next census shall be taken, we may be more successful. An exact schedule of all the subjects of inquiry ought to be formed. These, if transmit- ted to the proper officers, would direct their attention to certain aad definite objects. The returns would therby be rendered uniform, and capable of being added up into one great account, exhibiting in a concordant and uniform man- ner all the subjects inquired into throughout the states and territories.


Some most valuable information is derived from these re- turns, incomplete and heterogeneous as they are. Under the head of sheep, for example, we learn that Vermont contains a stock of 450,000; Massachusetts 399,182; Connecticut400,000; and Pennsylvania 1,466,918. Among these are included the individuals of the merino breed, and of the mixed race de- rived from their communication with the ordinary kind. From these premises we deduce favourable conclusions as to the food derived from their carcasses, the leather from their skins, and above all the clothing from their fleeces.


The number of looms, and of carding and spinning ma- chines, almost exceeds belief, as does also the amount of cloth prepared by the inhabitams. The woollen manufacture has prodigiously increased, as well in the quality and varie- ty, as in the quantity of the goods. Such advances are already made toward supplying domestic fabrics enough to clothe the people, that but few years more will be necessary, under the existing commercial restrictions, to effect that important object.


APPENDIX.


The progress made in the preparation of cotton twist, and of the articles into which it may be manufactured by the weaver, has been still more rapid and surprising. From a perusal of these papers, the most comfortable assurance is derived of the amount and fitness of these products of the loom, to afford a covering to man, and furniture for his ha- bitation.


The fabrics of flax are also so far extended, and so much ' on the increase, as to excite the most cheering prospects of an augmented supply to our citizens, from their own proper labour and skill. The superior excellence of homespun linen is the strongest of all recommendations.


'These papers contain a more distinct and interesting ex- hibition than we ever had before of the saltpetre manufac- tured in the states. Thus Virginia prepares 59,175 pounds; Kentucky 201,937; Massachusetts 23,600; East Tennessee, 17,534, and West Tennessee, chiefly in Jackson, Warren, White, and Smith counties, 144,895; making nearly half a million pounds of home made nitre, as good as that usually brought from foreign parts. It is alleged, the quantity may be increased to any desirable amount. The connexion of this with numerous inanufactories of gun powder, puts us quite at our ease as to the nitrate of potash, and to the means we possess of compounding it.


'The manufacture of straw is eminently worthy of notice. In Massachusetts, where the forming of bonnets from that material seems to have first begun, the yearly amount of sales is not less than $551,988. The manufacture of straw bonnets has been since undertaken in Connecticut, and pro- duces the yearly value of $ 27,100; and it is worthy of re- mark, that the labours of two women in New Jersey, in the same way, yielded them $ 140, amounting to the sum of $ 579,228, for the single article of straw bonnets.


Nor is the preparation of sugar from the juice of the maple free unimportant. Of this domestic sweet, Ohio produces, in a twelve-month, 3,023,806 pounds; Kentucky, 2,471,647; Vermont, 1,200,000; and Eas- l'ennessee, 162,340: making a quantity of nearly seven million pounds in these states only, wherein the returns may be conceived to be greatly within the truth.


Works in horn, ivory, and shell, have made a progress that is worthy of notice. The combs, for instance, which Connecticut prepares annually for market, are estimated at $70,000; Massachusetts $80,624; and Pennsylvania S6,240; equalling a sum of § 156,864.


I may mention too the abundance of copperas which West Tennessee and Vermont afford. The quantity per annum from the former, is stated at 56,000 lbs .; and from the latter, at 8,000. The quality of these sulphates of iron is declared


XVIII


APPENDIX


to be very fine, and that druggists and dyers may be supplied to any demand they may make.


The tanning of skins is displayed, in these surveys, to great advantage. Indeed, among a people who universally wear shoes of leather, and a great part of whose male inhabitants dress in boots. the consumption of that material is extrava- gant. By admitting hides and peltry free of impost, and lay- ing heavy duties upon the introduction of tanned and rawed leather, congress has given ample protection to the operations of preparing skin's for use. But our domestic supplies go far beyond the demand for the feet and legs. Saddlery, harness, and books, are principally supplied from the same internal source, to the great extent of their several demands; and the like may be observed of the supplies for the wants of naviga- tion and military equipments.


A prominent feature in the face of this performance is the number of stills employed in the preparation of ardent spirits. The quantity of ardent spirits annually distilled appears, by the returns, to equal the prodigious amount of twenty-three millions seven hundred and twenty thousand gallons. The extraction of brandy from peaches, of an alkoholic liquid from cider, and of whiskey from rye, and even maize, is carried to this alarming cxccss. These products of the distilleries are chiefly consumed among ourselves, though a portion of the latter is converted to gin before it reaches the human stomach. While, therefore, we observe the increase of these home-made fluids, we must reflect on their inebriating ef- fects. It cannot be disguised, that their intoxicating quality recommends them to such general employment. Nor ought it to be concealed, than in a country where a gallon of this maddening stimulus can be bought for half a dollar, a gill may be obtained at retail for three cents, and the seller, at the same time, more than double his money. The fondness for this bewitching beverage, and the repugnance to any ex- cise upon it, raise in the mind a curious association between the free use of it and of political freedom. And it deserves the consideration of all the thinking part of society, how far discase, idleness, immorality, and other mischiefs incidental to strong potation, may not degrade freedom to rudeness and something worse.


A few other important objects disclosed by an examination of these papers, remain to be mentioned.


The number of water and horse-mills employed in spin- ning cotton, on this exhibition, amounted to 330, in the month of August, 1810, and working one hundred thousand spin- dics These, on an average, will spin annually between four and five million pounds of yarn; and that yarn would be suf- ficient to weave eighteen millions of yards of cotton cloth, three quarters of a yard wide. And this is wholly indepen -.

APPENDIX.


dent of what may be spun in private families, although it makes part of what is wove there.


The fulling mills returned amount to 1630; and the wool- carding machines, going by water, to 1585.


The number of looms returned exceeds 330,000, and the total number of yards of cloth made of wool, cotton, and flax, as returned, exceeds seventy-five millions.


Gun-powder mills are enumerated to the number of 207. Some of these are, indeed, small; but they count, and, in addition to the larger ones, they prepare yearly 1,450,000 pounds of gun-powder.


Five hundred and thirty furnaces, forges, and bloomeries, are enumerated.


The paper mills amount to 190.


I cannot forbear to express the wish, that these important papers may fall into the hands of some person who may have time and ability to derive from them more extensive infor- mation than I am able to give you. But until this shall be done, the present communication may serve to afford some idea of the manner in which the marshals have executed their instructions, and of the facts which their returns con- ta:lı.


Allow me to assure you, once more,. of my great esteem and regard.
