W A R D j On ihr Bill to CBConratgc ihr jjrowth nud maun ractnrc of Milk. , IN AS3EMBLT... .April 13, 18?. I Mr.. Chairman : I am aware that there is a dirTeren-e of j opinion on this as well as on other subjects that come before , as for our eonsideranoh: and as I mar dirler with some een , tlemon in regard to the benefits to be derived from the passage , of this bill, and believing as I do that i: is one of the most im? portant subjects *>n w hich this Legislature will be called upon to act?important not only to ourselves bat to our posterity? I will briefly rive the reason* whv I think this bill should re , ceive our support, and be spe<vli]v passed into a law. The importation of silk clnriiig the year ending the 30th of Sept.-mbcr, 1330, amounted to aearly $23,000,000, as willbe i ><-en by the following items copi-d from the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury of tlio United States for that year.I j Silk from InJin and China, piece coods.$1,738,509 : I)". d-. ilo. sewings. 50,650 i Do. ?.??witirs from other phcr? than China, Sec.. 213.331 I Do. raw silk. 30.C?S i Do. from other places than India. &c. lace veils, shawls. &c. 345,490 I Do. other manufactures of silk, from other places ; than India. 18,685,295 Manufacturer] of silk and worsted, $3,319,884, (allowing one half the value thereof to bo silk) 1,159,942 Tom!.$32,838,028 Compared with other articles imported, that of silk i? one 1 fourth more than the amount of any other. The amount of manufactures of cotton imported was $14,693,397 : of iron, ; $12,05*1,668 ; of cloths and cassimcrcs, $7,078,906 ; worsted sniffs, $7,025,598; other manufactures ofwenl, $1.727.101; ] tot.ai woollen goods, 313.8:31. f>09. The irnportation of >m:ir amounted to $9,92 1,632 ; linen, $'i.7o 1.273. Se that the irnportation of silk nearly equals that of woollen and linen together, and is equal to half of all ; other fabrics cemVined. During the last ten years the amount paid by the United '. Sinto* for foreign silk has been more than $150,000,000; and 1 find ?? examination ihm of this large amount tho State j of New-York has paid at least $25,000,000, ?t the wholosale cargo price, and the consumer bus had to pur at leu-t double that amount, making, at the lowest possible ostimate, $50,000,000 that the people of this State have .aid in ten years foi the single nrticle of silk ?a sum vastly larger than has been expended in the construction of all our works of in? ternal improvements thai run through the length and breadth : of this great State;?and all this for an article that we ere more capable ol producing ourselves than nnv other country. It may now be necessary to enquire whether wc can pro? duce our own silk, and whether the so;l and climate of this State is adapted to the cultivation of the mulberry, and the production of silk of a good quality. We have every variety A soil, but the soil best adapted to ? the silk culture is a sandy or gravelly soil, and hirti elevation is fimdi the best. It i. the dry nature of the leaf o.i -uro lands that make- the silk superior to that on low lam!-.. : Mulberry* thrives much better in this country, has a more luxu? riant growth, and produces more foliage than in Prance or ' Italy/ Our climate is as varied as our soil; and for the silk cul? ture the climate wants to be ilrv and not loo warm. The South of China is too warm for the silk culture, ami the vast amount of silk raised in that country is mostly produded in i the northern provinces. Silk is already raised t? some extent in most of the coun? ties of this State, and it has been successfully raised for years bk" numerous individuals in several of the State?, par lieu larlVC imnecticut. The silk ot America is found to contain a fibre stronger and of a quality superior to that of almost any other country. Speeimens have been examined by the Chamber of ("om ; mcrcc at Lyons; and other intelligent (Trennlinien, both here and in that country, have examined ami attested tie- truth of this important fart. The causos of this superiority may be traced either tu .-oil. or what is more probable, to our fine and serene climate during summer. Not long since specimens of American raw silk were shown to a verv intelligent ribbon weaver from England, ami he pronounced them altogether superior to any European or India siik he has ever woven in bis native country. This spi aks loudly in favor of the quality of American silk, espe? cially snch as is produced in the Northern latitudes. The cocoons from which tin- silk was reeled, were made oa the ? cold mountains of Litchfield county, Conn. Silk is also successfully raised at Penobscot, Main", in -l? ?1 ? -ir- north latitude. In further proof of the good qualities of the Amc : rican silk. Mr. Wkitiwarsh, of Northampton, Mass., who in : 1839 had power looms sufficient t.> turn oil 4,000 yards of ' ribbon daily besides machinery lor Sewing sill, and braids, savst ? 1 have used the silks of France, Italy, Turkey, China, and.Cengnl, in the progress of manufacturing, ami giro the American the preference by twenty-live percent." It is also an ascertained fact, that from a given quantity ofcosoont, one-third more silk may be reeled than in France or Italv ; and the loss {of worms lias not been as much in this as in those countries. If any further pro.if be necessary, I wnuM roipie-t gentle? men to examine those beautiful specimens of American silk ? that grace the table i:i the Executive Chamber in the other part of the Capital. There are .specimens of sewing silk, ribbons, dress siik. silk velvet, and vestJhgs of diJtrrrent patterns?pecimens that *b> honor to this, and would do honor to any other country. The question may now be asked?if our soil and climate are adapted to the culture of silk, and we can raise ami manu? facture silk of a good ijtiaiitv?can its culture b ? made pro? fitable ' [n:Connecticut, Massachusetts, and in one or two other Slates, they have for years profitably cultivated silk. A fam? ily makes ten. twenty, fifty era hundred pounds in a season, according to their supply ol leaves, ami their industry. la a letter received from Gideon B. Smith. Esq., ot' Balti? more, (dated March 13,1841,) a gentleman of high stand? ing and integrity, who has been for many years extensively engaged in the business, and is prokably as well acquainted with this branch of American industry a- any other in our country, he says; ?? Of our ability to produce siik profitably in tili? country, and in ail parts of the United 5tate,, 1 have tke most conclusive evidence; It can produce specimens of siik from every Mate in the Union, from Vermont to Louisi? ana. It is bot two days ago that I received a ?;.imcs ef sewing silk from Swanten, Vt; This silk, though made on the common spinning wheel, is superior to most of the Ital? ian sewing ?ilk in every particular. Mr. Timothy Smith i t Amtierst. Ma s.. makes siik. and has dose so tor four or live vears, as a means of livelihood, and is abundantly satisfied with the profits. I could till a dozen sheets with such cir cumstasces as the above. Let me conclude tin- branch of my letter by" saying, that any parr of the continent of Ameri? ca that ha- three months of warm weather can make silk profitably." The silk culture can ke made profitable, not only because ?ur soil and climate are suitable to its production, bu: be? cause the labor necessary to produce siik can lie performed by females arid children, and aged persona wbo?e labor is now almost entirely unproductive. A gentlemen of my acquaintance of high standing, re-id bag at East Hartford, Conn., w rites that in 1339 he raise,! 134 !!-. of cocoons, and 10 Iks. ,,f reeled -ilk. His receipts for ogzs ami silk, wa* $310. In 1810 the amount of cocoons raised by him was a trifle over 300 lbs., and the quantity of reeled si;k 17 lbs. !> o-. The sum paid to produce this was not far from $-10, the largest part of which w as paid for r teling. i He concludes by say ing, " mvself, when unengaged in my 1 prof s-ion. (medical) and members of my family, who would have produced nothing in any other way, performed the rest el" the labor.*' M. Borudon reported to the Royal and Central Society of Agriculture of France, in 1837, that he had visited the plan out?4 nrnlt nothing raore.''-II.juusok. j tatjons whtrh cover the country, and more particularly exam i iticii ihr -beds, cotiar:'"? and building, of every description, j appropriated to the accommodation of silk worms; and the ? view ot the so immense establishments, which, supported by I die same product. uriorJ the tr*men and children a certain refage against poverty aud misery, had forcibly explained to j iiim ihe reason* why governments have shown such a strong predilection to cherish the silk culture. I row come to the last and most important part of this subject. It our soil and climate are. adapted to the culture, . and we can profitably rai*o anci manufacture silk, is it neees , sary to give a bounty to encoura^o its crowth aud manufac ! ture ? In every country, where silk is now succcssfullv cultivated, it. culture ha* been promoted by bountr. and by Government ' patron age. I will first refer to France. Several monarch*, amor.; whom Charles VIII. and Fran? cis I. were the most active, had endeavored to establish the silk culture in that kingdom, hut without success. The honor of having contributed more te this than any other person, be I lon;s to Oliver do Serres, in the reign of Henry IV. In the year 1599, Henry IV. wrote to Do Serres for information re? lating to the best meniw of introducing the -ilk culture iato his kingdom, ??that France," said he, "might *ec herself relieved from the necessity of paying more than four millions ? of golden crowns, ($20,000,000) whiuh arc now annually seat . out of the country to purchase -ilk. both raw and manufac? tured." It was in reply to this demand that De Serres wrote [ his celebrated treatise on the culture ol silk, contained in the 5th bo>k of the 15th chapter of the French Theatre of Agri? culture. The Kinj expressed Iiis desire to have mulberry trees plant? ed i- ail his gardens, and in the year 1601 about 20,000 of the a trees were taken to 1'aris ami planted in the garden of the Tuilleries. [n 1604, Henry IV. went to Mantes, accompanied by his Que 'm, Mary of Media's, and bis prime minister, the great and good Sully. This city was a great favorite with the King, . and the main object of his visit on this occasion was to es? tablish in it. as a mark of particular favor a manufactory of *iik. By his order, large plantations of mulberry trees were i formed through the ?listm-t of Mantes, and many thousands of trees were planted iu various provinces, the inhabitants of which devoted themselves with ardor to rearing the silk worms, which led to the establishment of many large mauu tnanufact >ries in the South, ns well as in the central parti of , the kingdom. He was so intent upon redeemim: France from the tax imposed by other silk-growing countries, and to make its culture n source of wealth to bis own subjects, that he, not only filled the royal garden*, including the Tuilleries, at Paris, with mulberry trees, but Sullv tells us that lie even oppropriatctl tin- green-house or ordinary of ibe Tuilleries to the rearing ?f -ilk worms. These efforts^were not unsuccessful, neither were they for? gotten?but on the contrary, they were held in grateful recol? lection by the inhabitants of that country; in proofoFwhich, for the purpose of reminding pnstcritv of the services ren? dered by Henry 1^'. in establishing the -ilk culture, the Royal and Central Societies of Agriculture and Horticulture, 10 recently as 1836, obtained -. permission of Louis Philippe to permit them to erect a marble monument near the old or? angery of the Tuilleries, bearing the fallowing inscription: ?? 1 his is the s>>ot where, in tlu* beginning of the seven? teenth century, iu the reign of Henry IV. and bv the express orders of this Prince, twenty thousand white mulberry trees, collected and planted by Oliver deSerres, afforded the means of propagating this useful tree, and rearing; silkworms iu the happy slimatc of Franco." Since the time of Henry IV. and Do Lcrrcs, government patronage has been librrull? bestowed, ami the culture und manufacture of -ilk have been rapidly advancing. Louis the XIV. not ohIv sfave lartje bounties, hut he also sent agents to Florence and Genoa to procure looms and machinery as well a- manufacturers and workmen acquainted with the mysteries of the art. These workmen and manufacturers diffused tbc knowledge of manufacturing * i I k in France, and in a few years, not onlv nil Europe, but also America became tribu? tary to the superior ?kill of the French. The number of silk looms now in France is about 84, 640, which produce roods to the amount of $39,400,000 an? nually; $13,600.000 of which are consumed*in France, and $35,800,000 worth of raw silk worked up. About *l 3.000. 0011 is paid !V.r labor. At Lyons. 40,000 looms a::,I ilO.OUO weavers arc employed, w hich produce $18,600,000 worth of silk. After all this, France is not yet satisfies!: but la-t year great encouragements wcrc ofTered'by Ministers for the growth of -ilk. and two premiums ot 500 francs each were offered for the best growth of silk-worms and mulberry trees, and for the best method of spinning siik. Lei us now turn our attention Cora moment to Italy, where, under the fostering bands of government, it has become the most productive source of wealth ; aud two-thirds of their ox port* to all countries consists ot silks. I have a letter before me from an intelligent and scientific Italian, who was well acquainted with the silk culture in all its branches. He says: "In Lunabardy and Piedmont, two provinces whose territory, joined together, is not us extensive ns that of the State of New-York?two provinces whoso eli mate is not us favorable as ours to the culture of silk?two provinces where, owing to the institutions of the eountry, the per,on- mostly devoted to this culture, viz. the farmers' wives and daughters, ?!?> not possess it degree of intelligence equal r.ir-two provinces where the shackles of despotism cramp the efforts and the progress of industry?these two provinces r\i?urt raw silk to the amount of about $36,000,000 annually. And I have no doubt that in a few year, we could obtain an ihcrea.f $30,000,000 in this State alone, were the object i:: view properly pursued and encouraged; And how is it with Kniland.' Although the climate of | England n to humid that she cannot successfully cultivate tin mulberry and produce -ilk. yet she has net been iiil.. If: she could uot produce the raw material, she c.iuld manufac ture it; and government has encouraged the branch of in? dustry l>v legislative enactment.-?by bounty?atid by every other means that was likely to ensure success. The result has been, that they now manufacture about $75,000,000 of | silk annually. Let us now- turn aur attention for a few moments to our own country. Before the War of the Revolution, the silk culture was carritd en to a considerable extent in Virginia, Georgia. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-Jersey a:.d Penn? sylvania. Dr. Franklin with his acute judgement and pro I hetic spiii'. saw the immense benefits that would result to c ur '? luntry by the introduction of the siik culture, and in 1770 be established a filature at Philadelphia, and he also recommended to the proviaeial legislature to grant a bounty on the cultivation of the mulberry and the rawing of idle. There i.- but little doubt, if the United States had continued to remain British a Ionics, we would ut?w produce more-ilk than cotton. The business had become permanently estab? lished in several of the States?the provincial governors were granting bounties, a:.d Parliament granted large premiums on all .-ilk. the product of the colonies, that was imported into j Great Britain The War of the Revolution came on. the British soldiery overrun our country, and among oth?*r depredations, they de -troved the mulberry whereevcr i: was found: determited .1" we gained our liberties, to deprive us of this source of na? tional wealth and prosperity:? They were successful in de stroying our property,?We in gaining our liberty. SootTafter the revolution, the cxlture of cotton duct d into t't.i- <?-ut.tr. a- an experiment. The expj n . 4U reed d, and the silk culture was almost entuely aoando,, ed.

In Massachusetts the increased culture ol -nr. is remarka? ble since the passage of a law -a 1330, giving a bounty to OFFICE IVO. 30 A N N - S T . VOL. I. KO. 21. .?r-.-ourairo iu culture.
