England had at that time no competition, and fixed her own prices, and the people of this country had to pay them. The Protective tariff raised the duty to 40 per cent. , and it has since been still further increased to 55 per cent. Under these duties this industry sprung into existence, and it has grown to- such an extent that now our home manufacturers are making two-thirds of all the crockery used in the country. Our home competition has forced down the price in England as well as in this co...untry, and now you can buy as much crockery here for $2. 50 as you could in 1860 for $4, and many descriptions are actu- ally cheaper and are selling here for a less price than they are sold for in England. While residing in Liverpool I ordered a watch from one of the makers in that city, for which he charged me forty guineas, or $200 in our money. After I came home I bought the watch I now carry in this country, for which I paid $100. It is a far better watch than the one I bought in Liverpool and more satisfactory in every way.
