s raised, and whenever it was lowered tobacco rose in the market. It was proposed to admit leaf tobacco to the Southern Confederacy free of duty, while the manufactured article had to pay duty; and he mentioned the fact that agents from the State of Georgia had been in Richmond, within a few days past, purchasing leaf tobacco, which they carried home and manufactured on their own soil, thus avoiding the duty, while Virginia was in the same proportion losing one of her great branches of labor. when the market was immediately flooded with cheap glass from the North, the result of which was that the establishment closed, and then glass went up to its old prices. It is protection from the North that our manufactures want. The people of Georgia were going into manufacturing operations, which would be developed under their system, and between the upper and nether millstones Virginia would be crushed. He argued that the manufacturers in Virginia, unable to find protection at home, would

Thus, for instance, Georgia, which had acquired the title of Empire State on account of her numerous improvements, had to pay several millions of dollars to the General Government, by way of duties, on the very iron which she used in those improvements; and out of these duh desires to improve her harbor, she can do so, and then levy a tax or duty upon the commerce benefited by such improvements. If Mobile or New Orleans, or any other port, desires to make improvements, they all have the same privilege, and hence Georgia will not have to pay for improving Mobile harbor, and vice versa. In a word, those who receive the benefits, will have to pay for them. This provision he considered wise and just. In the third place — and this is a very important improveme
