being an answer to a pamphlet , intitul'd , the honour and advantage of the east-india trade , &c. by n. c. a weaver of london . london , printed for t. newborough at the golden-ball in st. paul's church-yard , . to the honourable the commons of england in parliament , assembled . may it please your honours , the reason that hath emboldened me to address the following discourse to this honourable house , is because of a bill now depending , to restrain the wearing of east-indian and persian wrought silks , bengalls , &c. i having met with a book , ( newly come forth ) that seems purposely designed to elude the necessity of . it is not because i think it answer'd here with that accuracy that it might have been , nor do i pretend to be able so to do ; but because i conceive that truth ought to be vindicated , and error detected , rather meanly , than not at all ; but what is wanting in my ability , is abundantly supply'd in the justness of the cause , and the plainness of the truth , here pretended to be vindicated . that manufacture is one of the chief procuring causes of riches , and of improving the land where it is , is so plain a truth , that i think can scarce be deny'd , and therefore ought to be promoted by us rather in england than in india . that there are many towns in england and wales that may be improved , by having manufactories set up in them , besides what have already , i do not question ; and the advance that it gives to land that lies near them , is visible . the extreme and pressing necessities of the poorer sort of people that uses to be employ'd in those manufactories , cannot but afflict them that hear their daily complaints , and hath been a great motive to induce me to this undertaking . that it hath pleased god almighty to preserve our laws , liberties , and parliamentary constitutions to this day , is a mercy that every englishman ought to acknowledge with thankfulness , and that the frequent rise of grievances of one kind or another , make a necessity of frequent parliaments is evident to experience , and that we do not only need , but enjoy them is our comfort . that the god of infinite wisdom and goodness may continually direct and bless your councels and endeavours to his glory ; to the honour and safety of the king's majesty , and to the welfare and prosperity of the nation , is , and shall be the prayer of your honours most humble , and truly devoted servant , n. c. the great necessity and advantage of preserving our own manufactories . that there is a controversie between the manufacturers of england and the east-india traders , i conceive to be generally well known , but the true state of the case , i suppose , is not so well understood : the author of a pamphlet very lately come forth , intituled , the great honour and advantage of the east-india trade , &c. applies the cause of this difference wholly to the mistaken prejudices of those , who being , as he says , no philosophers , don't know where to fix the reason of their misery by the decrease of their trade , but have blindly stumbled upon this as the next in their way ; i shall therefore endeavour to set this case in its true light , thereby to discover whether it be a meer chymerical fancy , or a real evil , that they complain of ; and to that end , that it may appear more clear , i shall lay down both negatively and positively ; first , what it is that they do not complain of ? secondly , what it is that they conceive they have just reason to complain of and desire relief ? as to the first , they do not desire to hinder the trade and commerce of the nation , but are so far from it , that they desire the encrease of all our own manufactures , as one of the best means of increase in it ; nor do they desire the hinderance of any merchandise that tends to the good of the nation ( as he seems to suggest ) but if that men will say , that their trading genius is discouraged , because they are hindered from freely exporting the native product of the land to be manufactured beyond sea , as in the case of the owlers , or because they are hinder'd from bringing in all sorts of provision to serve instead of the product of our own land , or because they are hinder'd from sending out the treasure of the nation to bring n lieu thereof such manufactured goods , as shall serve instead of our own greatest manufactures , which used to employ the largest numbers of our poor : in all these cases , and and other such like , it is evident , that whatever cry such men make of the great loss and damage it is to the nation to hinder their trade and commerce ; yet there is nothing more at the bottom of their design , than their own private gain , to enrich themselves in particular , though it be to the extremest damage and prejudice of the nation in general ; for as it is possible for the nation to get by that trade the merchant loseth by , as the afore-mention'd author relates and exemplifies ; so it was not for want of wit ( he is so much a philosopher ) that he did not tell us , that it is as possible for a merchant to get much , and grow very rich by that trade which the nation loses and is impoverished by . as for example , suppose a merchant send l. to india , and bring over for it , as much wrought silks and painted callicoes , as yield him here l. if they be all worn here in the room of our own silk and woollen manufactures , the nation loses and is the poorer l. notwithstanding the merchant has made a very profitable adventure , and so proportionably the more and oftner he sends , the faster he grows rich , and the more the nation is impoverished . secondly , it is not any suppression of the east-india trade in general that they desire , it is possible that a very considerable trade may be carried on , in such commodities , as may make that trade very profitable , not only to private men but to the nation . there are many very usefull commodities brought from thence , as pepper , salt petre , raw silk , several drugs , and many other things that do not interfere with or hinder the growth or manufacture of england , and such was the indian trade , generally speaking , till within thirty years last past , since which time they have laboured to encrease their trade to their utmost power in those manufactures , and finding the advantage they had of having their goods cheap wrought by the wretched poverty of that numerous people , have used sinister practices to betray the arts used in their native country , such as sending over artificers and patterns to instruct them in the way of making goods , and mercers to direct them in the humour and fancy of them , to make them fit our markets , a practice so inconsistent with the love , and contrary to the interest of their native country , that it is reckoned in some countries a capital crime , and this brings me to the second general , that is , secondly , what it is that they conceive they have just reason to complain of , and desire relief against . and that is , that great import of foreign manufactures that are spent here in the room and stead of our own , and that in such vast quantities , as seems very likely to extinguish the english manufactury , which is as it were quite born down by that mighty torrent and inundation of forreign manufacturies ; and this sending out of our treasure to bring in this abundance of wrought goods , is like drawing out the pure and spirituous blood of a man's veins , and filling them with hydropick humours . but the author of that pamphlet says , that this foreign commerce is the only way to procure us treasure : if he means so much of it as is spent here ( and that is all we contest about ) it must needs be a great mistake , for that is so far from supplying us with gold and silver , that it is more like a quick-sand to devour that we have already . as for his comparison , that the worsted weavers of norwich may as well complain against the silk weavers of london , it is altogether false and illusive ; for london and norwich are members of the same body , and therefore what is laid out with one or other is still within the nation , and will circulate like blood in the veins ; but all the treasure laid out with the indians for their manufactures to wear here , is as intirely lost for ever to this kingdom , as the blood , that by cutting the veins , being shed upon the ground , is to the body : but since he says we have no mines of gold or silver , we can tell him of something else to supply that ; our vast quantity of sheeps wool , which is improv'd from or pence per pound by the labour of our own people to or shillings per pound ; this thus improv'd by manufacture , if worn at home , is money sav'd to the nation from foreign expence , because it costs the nation nothing ; but if sent abroad , the product is all clear gain to the nation ( provided it be by english shipping ) and if the produce be manufacturable commodities , as in the turky trade raw silk , hair , &c. then they are improv'd again by the labour of our own people to double or treble the value ; and if this may justly be compar'd to mines for the encrease of our treasure , then the sending out of our silver or gold to india to bring over wrought silks , bengalls , &c. to be worn here , may as justly be called quick-sands to decrease our treasure by devouring or swallowing it up . what he starts and pretends to answer , that the made goods seem particularly to injure the broad silk weavers , by putting them by or beside their trade and way of living , is illusive , false and foolish ; for he cannot but know ( if he know any thing of this matter ) that the norwich and other worsted weavers were as much and as early in their sence of and complaints against the great damage they receiv'd by these made goods ; and i cannot well tell , whether the folly or dishonesty be greater of comparing against both these numerous people , and the vast multitudes that are dependents on both , a few people employ'd about the indian made goods ; and to say that the latter is much more to the benefit of the nation in general . but the boldest stroke lies behind , that it is not true in fact ( i. e. ) ( that the made goods injure the weavers ) and this is indeed the true paradox . now matter of fact we conceive must be made good by evidence , we are willing to hear it ; then 't is his experience , testifies , that the scarcity of indian goods doth them no kindness , but that rather the plentiful importation of these made goods sets them at work : now in opposition to his experience , we can bring in the testimony of many thousands that have experienced quite contrary , and the sence of it is too fresh upon them , to be easily perswaded , that 't is but a dream , and therefore such lame proof of fact is of no value ; he might as well have said , that when a man hath eat his belly full of westphaliaham , it fits him presently with a better stomach for english bacon ; or when a gentlewoman hath just bought french alamode or flanders lace , it makes her the more earnest presently to furnish her self with english lace and alamode ; and 't is an easie matter to say , that 't is prejudice hinders , when people will not assent to such contradictions : but he says , the bringing in of these made goods will make silk cheap , and that sets them to work ; if he had said , they will bring in more raw silk , and by that means make silk cheap , and set them to work , it had been to the purpose ; but the bringing in of the made goods , takes off the great occasion of their working , viz. ( the supplying the market ) and so sets them to play ; and this is plain and visible . but that i may not suspected of partiality , or be said to abound in mine own sense , i shall bring in the testimony of the judicious sir josiah child , who lays down these solid principles of truth and reason in the d page of his discourse of trade , that whatever doth advance the value of land in purchase , improve the rent of farmes , encrease the bulk of foreign trade , multiply domestick artificers , encline the nation to thriftiness , employ the poor , encrease the stock of people , must be a procuring cause of riches . i conceive that it is self-evident , that there is no one thing more adapted to all these ends , than the use and encouragement of our own manufactories ; nor any thing more contrary , than the use and expence of foreign manufactures , as that judicious author observes , that the expence of foreign commodities , especially foreign manufactures , is the worst expence a nation can be inclinable to , and ought to be prevented as much as possible . and though the pernicious effects of the use and wear of foreign manufactures , doth first reach those concerned in manufactory here , yet its ill influences will as sure reach the gentry and proprietors of land , ( if not timely prevented ) for as the said judicious author says , land and trade are twins , and have always , and ever will wax and wain together ; it cannot be ill with trade , but land will fall ; nor ill with lands , but trade will feel it . and therefore it must needs be , that the promoting the use and wear of indian manufactures here , tend to the sinking of the value of land in england , after the pattern of india , for there must be always a symmetry and proportion between the price of labour and the value of land , for he that works for pence a day , cannot give shillings per ann . rent , nor can he give or pence per l. for meat , nor for any other provision sutable : and 't is as sure , that if the husbandman must sell his provision for a quarter part of what he now sells it , he cannot pay his landlord much more than a quarter part of what he now pays , but these are so plain truths , that it seems , as needless to spend many words about it , as it is to bring arguments to prove that two is more than one , or that the whole is more than a part , or any other most certain maxim. but ere i conclude , it will be necessary once more to look back to the fore-mention'd pamphlet , stiled , the great honour and advantage , &c. where that author brings in the profit the dutch make , and the scotch promise themselves by the east-india trade , as a sure token of its goodness , because no man courts a mischief . i answer , 't is not true nor pertinent : 't is not true in the sense we are treating of , for too many men court that which is a publick mischief , for their own private gain , as i suppose will be generally own'd in the case of those that bring in alamodes and other french commodities against law , now we are engaged in a waragainst them , and many other cases were easie to name , wherein men do court that which is a mischief to the publick for their own private . nor is it pertinent ; for it is not the east india trade in general that is complain'd of , nor that we seek relief against ; but only such of the made goods as interfere with our own manufactures ; and yet but so much of them neither , as only are worn here : and as to this , 't is well known , that though the dutch trade to the e. indies be so much superior to ours , yet as to these goods , that are the mischievous part of that trade , two of our last ships , brought over much more than their twelve ships brought ; and yet that trade would not be so pernicious to the dutch , as to us , because they have not so large a tract of land , no such fund as our sheeps-wooll , nor such vast numbers of people employ'd in manufactories ; but as they have a smaller spot of ground , so their people are mostly employ'd about merchandise and shipping . he might have told us , what reception the french , that have a large tract of land , and many manufactorers , do give to foreign wrought goods , especially indian ( if he had thought it his interest : ) some are of opinion , and not without reason , that if the french king had suffered his people to export the treasure of his country , to bring in foreign made goods , as freely as our indian traders now do , his own merchants would have helpt so effectually to humble him , that he had been brought to reason before now . but that author hath a special knack of confounding one thing with another , to the end , that he might make one thing pass for another , ( a trick very necessary for those that do not intend to clear up truth , but stifle it . ) thus he would make trade and commerce in general , and the whole e. india trade , to be understood for this part of it , which we only oppose , ( and some of themselves have counted a small part formerly . ) thus he would have the particular gain of that company , in advancing their actions treble , pass for a sign of the profit it was to the nation , and the greatest part of his book , upon strict examination , will fall under this head. as for our scotch friends , whatever they promise themselves from this trade , that we contest about , ( and if that bill now depending before the honourable house of commons , for restraining the wear of indian silks , &c. ) do pass into a law , they will be little the better for it , if they come to bring in their callico's in any considerable quantities to be worn in scotland , in lieu of their own linen manufacture ; a few years will teach them ( whatever some private persons may get by it ) that they have made but an ill bargain of it for their countrey ; but if it should not pass into a law , no doubt but they will be peddling them all over england , and then they may well promise themselves to be great gainers , but poor england must pay for all , and suffer the fate of issachar , to couch under two burdens . i have now done for the present with the aforesaid author and the trade he pleads for ; if any desire to inform themselves , both in our east indian and other foreign trades , what benefit each is to the nation , they may please to read a book , called , an essay on the state of england in relation to its trade , &c. written about a year since , by the ingenious mr. john cary , merchant of bristol . i shall now state briefly , whether the people , and their employ , ( for whose sake i have made these faint essays ) be a real benefit to the kingdom in general , or only to some few persons in particular , under the severe administration of the duke of alva , in the netherlands : many families came over into england , and brought over with them this trade of weaving broad silks and stuffs made of wooll and silk and wooll mix'd : these were graciously received , by that great and wise princess queen elizabeth , of blessed memory ; and were so encouraged , that through the succeeding reigns , they came to more thousands than they were families : that this hath been one of those means , that hath advanced land both in rent and purchase so considerably since that time , were easie to demonstrate , not only from experience , but from the nature of the thing , as a cause that must naturally produce such an effect ; and when all is said that can be , we shall never be enrich'd by an ignis fatuus , but by such trades as have a natural tendency thereunto . to conclude , solomon faith , the honour of a king is the multitude of his subjects , but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince . now this trade hath not only brought a livelihood to such great multitudes of our own people , but entertain'd also many thousands of french protestants fled hither for refuge , which will be much to the honour and advantage of this kingdom , if our manufactures be so incouraged , that there may be a sufficient employ flor them all , and our poor ( whom god and nature requires us to take care of ) be so employ'd , as to be an useful part of the nation . much more might be said ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng trade regulation -- england -- early works to . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - apex covantage keyed and coded from proquest page images - celeste ng sampled and proofread - celeste ng text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion to prevent the export of bullion , for purchasing flax , hemp , and linnen . england and ireland being under one government , and lying so near to each other , must partake in each others fortune for ever . and the land of ireland , being so very productive of flax and hemp , and the people's natural inclination tending to spinning , would , with a small incouragement , soon give life to the linnen manufactory there ;
