AGRICULTURAL MEETING
RESPECTING POTATOES AND BARLEY.
At a large and respectable meeting of the Farmers of the townships of Oxford, Lower Dublin, Byberry, and Moreland, held at the house of Benjamin Snyder, in Bustleton, agreeably to a notice of the 15th of Decem- ber, JACOB SHEARER, Esq. was called to the chair, and Edmund Green appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting being stated, from the Chair, to take into consideration the present prices of produce and the future prospects of the Agriculturists, and to invite the attention of those concerned to the subject of the increasing and direct interference in our domestic market, by the importation, particularly of Barley and Potatoes from foreign countries. On motion,
Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed, consisting of George Breck, Samuel Swift, John H. Gibson, T. J. Baird, G. H. Walker, Franklin Comley, and Edmund Green, to draft a preamble and resolutions to be submitted to an adjourned Meeting, to be held at the house of B. Snyder, in Bustleton, on the 2d Monday in January, at one o'clock P. M.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published.
(Signed) JACOB SHEARER, Chairman. E. GREEN, Secretary.
Whereas, At a meeting of Agriculturists of the Town- ships of Oxford, Lower Dublin, Byberry, and Moreland, Philadelphia county, convened at Bustleton, on Monday, the 22d of December last, agreeably to public notice, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expe- diency of exciting farmers generally in the United States, who may feel interested, to petition Congress for a fur-
ther protection of Potatoes and Barley of Domestic growth, a Committee of seven was appointed to prepare and draft a preamble and resolutions, to be submitted to an adjourned meeting, to be held at the same place, on Monday the 12th January. In pursuance of this trust, the said committee, having met, and taken the subject into consideration, Report:
At this moment, when, with one exception, peace pervades the world, and all civilized nations use exer- tions to foster the industry of their own citizens, we should ill deserve to rank among them, if we disregard- ed interests so manifestly connected with a prosperous condition of society as those of Agriculture. While all Europe, and portions of the American continent, ne- glected necessarily the cultivation of the earth, to en- dure the privations and desolation of war, the agricul- turists of the United States, in consequence of an in- creased demand for their productions abroad, were ena- bled to flourish, and gave the means of profitable com- merce and industry to the merchant; receiving advan- tages which are at present withheld.
The condition of the Farmer now requires our serious attention. He seldom has an opportunity of speculating. His pursuits are regular, and his profits confessedly moderate. He has, in proportion to other professions and trades, less opportunities of increasing his capital, though as earnestly occupied, and with as great indus- try and toil as others evince or encounter. He is called upon by the claims of his family, of interest, of ambition and patriotism, to uphold those arrangements best calcu- lated to improve and encourage an occupation of the first importance to his country, himself, his pride, and his hopes; and in considering the vast number of his fellow citizens actually concerned with him in the pro- motion of such objects, he may fairly defend himself from merely selfish views, and refer the advantages he claims to one general interest.
We perceive many articles capable of employing ad- vantageously the soil and capital of our country, as well as the ability and industry of our population, at lower rates of duty than consists with the interests of the far- mer at certain seasons, when short crops scarcely re- compense him, even with augmented prices, for his labour and expenses; and we desire the aid afforded to other branches of industry, to assist him to attain both skill and capital, which his energy and disposition in- cite him to arrive at.
The numerous canals and rail-roads, and the general facilities for transportation now adopted, will aid in re- ducing the price of agricultural produce, bringing into competition various articles from distant parts of this state, and our sister states, sufficient to supply the de- mand in our markets, without reference to foreign coun- tries for productions capable of being immediately and abundantly provided at home; and if protection, by duties upon foreign products, is afforded to any portion of our citizens, we consider the farmer, personally en- gaged in the most laborious duties, with high wages to pay, and in comparison, small farms, fairly entitled to equal consideration.
In consequence of the high price of labour in the ag- ricultural districts of this country, and our mild and eco- nomical system of government, the expenses of the la- bourer, for the supplies of his family, are greater than probably those of any other in the world. He is ena- bled to purchase abundantly, not only comforts and necessaries produced by the soils of our own land, but to aid the revenue by a large consumption of foreign goods. Thus the high prices given for labour, should aid, ultimately, the agriculturist, who vends at a home market larger supplies of food, and enables the labour- ing man to enjoy an abundance which is the astonish- ment of strangers, and we hope will long be our pride. Let us, as Americans, exult that the consumption even of the luxuries of life, by the poorest people of our country exceeds by far, that, where capital and wages are at a much lower rate. We would draw a corclu-

sion, that if the foreign labourer, who compared with our own is generally badly paid and poorly fed, is al- lowed, (for want of sufficient protection by duties in certain seasons,) to compete with our agriculturist, it may reduce our condition more to a level with theirs, and will not assist them.
The demand in this country for every article of con- sumption continues so regular, from the good wages which labour receives, moderate taxes, and the habits of comfort in which the people constantly indulge, that there is an advance of from 100 to 300 per cent. (from 25 cents to $1 00) in the value of a bushel of potatoes, according to the scarcity of the crop; and in barley there is a difference of 150 per cent. per bushel in price, according to the season-which aids the foreigner to introduce, at the present rates of duty, his pro- duce, to our disadvantage, when the crops are deficient. We would more willingly that there should be a reduc- tion of this scale of prices by competition among our- selves, than permit such interference, in certain years, when the farmer particularly needs assistance from those he has supplied, in abundant seasons, at the low- est rates. Therefore
1. Resolved, That to dissipate the possible character of presumption, from the smallness of the district origi- nating this weighty and national concern, we with all deference allege, that the impulse must come from some quarter, and that we would have been more willing to have followed a larger and more interested portion of our fellow labourers than to have preceded them.
2. Resolved, That viewing our efforts but as prepara- tory in effecting the contemplated purpose, we feel lit- tle doubt of its accomplishment, if farmers will assist it with that unanimity which is important to produce con- viction in the minds of those entrusted with national ob- jects of legislation.
3. Resolved, That from the exemplary acquiescence of agriculturists in the constantly increasing duties, im- posed for the protection of manufactures and mechanic employments generally, this meeting is emboldened to look for no opposition to their views, but rather a hearty and liberal concurrence.
4. Resolved, That as we perceive the subject of the present condition of the agricultural community en- larges much as we consider it, and that it appears to at- tract an attention which we hoped to excite, that we invite the Farmers and Graziers of the County of Phila- delphia generally, and any others inclined to meet us from other counties, to meet in Germantown at the house of John M. Bockus, this day, the 16th inst, at 10 o'clock A. M. to join with us in the free discussion of subjects connected with the interests of our profession.
5. Resolved, That a committee of seven, viz. George Breck, John H. Gibbon, Thomas J. Baird, Samuel Swift, G. H. Walker, Edmund Green, and Benjamin Walmsly, be appointed to give a statement, at a county meeting, of the original purpose and progress of this meeting; and that it be desired to collect any further information which may be acceptable.
6. Resolved, That the minutes of this and the preced- ing meeting be distributed in a circular form, and that we solicit Editors of newspapers, friendly to Agricul- ture, to give publicity to our proceedings.

Remarks .- On examination of the above table, it will appear that the return for New York is now made up to 31st December, and not to 15th February, as formerly, consequently does not embrace the inspections from Jan- uary 1 to February 14, 1828, which, we presume, would have added about 75,000 barrels to the amount of Wheat Flour Inspected at that port. To the Inspec- tion districts embraced in the former tables have been added Albany, N. Y. and Falmouth, Va. which make together about 80,000 barrels. The only remaining In- spection districts are, Wilmington, Del. Pittsburg, Pa. Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky. but as nearly all of the Flour exported from these districts is included in receipts at New Orleans, or Inspections at other ports, they have not been added. We regret to have occa- sion to observe,that the returns from Petersburg, Frede- ricksburg, and Falmouth, Va. are not official, but so nearly correct, that for our purpose they may be relied on. We hope, the Inspectors of those ports will be careful to preserve and publish regular quarterly re- turns in future.
It will be observed, that there has been a gradual in- crease in the quantity of Flour Inspected, which in the last year is particularly striking, as exhibited in this ta- ble, in relation to which we may remark, that the en- hanced prices soon after last harvest have brought to market larger supplies than usual, especially to South- ern ports, a greater proportion of which having been re-shipped to New-York to supply deficiencies at that port from the interior of the State, and being there re- inspected, has swelled the aggregate returns. The ac- tual amount of re-inspections for 1828 has, we believe, exceeded by 100,000 barrels the re-inspections of seve- ral years preceding. Phil. Price Current.
