Excerpt from The Protective Question at Home: Being the Substance of a Report of the Committee on Manufactures
In this report, the committee, after a brief introduction, which we omit, consider whether there is not some fundamental and recognized theory of governmental economy which would serve as a key to the inquiry as to the propriety of preserving the warehousing system. This key the committee find in the proposition that the protection of American industry is the fixed policy of the American people. From this proposition they deduce the inexpediency of preserving the warehousing system of 1846. To give the fundamental argument of this report a broader application than that directly intended by the committee, we omit, by authority, as above intimated, the portions bearing upon the warehousing system, and reproduce the argument upon which is based the main proposition, viz.

Excerpt from The Protective Question at Home: Being the Substance of a Report of the Committee on Manufactures
The Committee on Manufactures, to whom were referred sundry petitions praying for the repeal or modification of the existing warehousing laws, have investigated the questions presented by these petitions, with a grave sense of the responsibility attending an inquiry, the result of which might be to disturb a system of commercial policy which has stood unchallenged for over twenty years, which is guarded by careful treasury regulations, provided with a vast machinery of structures and officials, and with whose usages the mercantile communities at home and abroad have become familiar. This responsibility, however, the committee cannot evade. The very constitution of a committee expressly raised to protect and promote, to the extent allowable by the Constitution and the general policy of the nation, the special interests of manufactures, recognizes the obligations of the national legislature to consult the interests of manufactures in their relations to the "general welfare." The committee are made the legislative guardians of all the productive industry of the country which is not within the domain of commerce and agriculture. Even if modern usage has relieved the committee of some of its primitive duties, and transferred them, with doubtful propriety, to committees of ways and means and finance, the obligation is still imposed upon this committee, and is enforced by all its traditions, to inquire seriously into the operation of any policy which is alleged to affect injuriously the manufacturing industry of the country.
Waiving for the present an inquiry into the specific allegations against the warehousing system, the committee propose at first to consider whether there is not some fundamental and recognized theory of governmental economy, which shall serve as the key to this inquiry. This key the committee find in the proposition, that the protection of American industry is the fixed policy of the American people. To maintain the truth of this proposition by unequivocal evidences of public sentiment, to ascertain the foundation of the right of protection and to define its effect and meaning from the expositions of the great political fathers, to show that this policy is founded upon a true consideration of the interests of the people, and is sanctioned by the usages of all industrial nations, and therefore must be permanent, are some of the points to which the committee propose first to devote their attention. The warehousing system of this country will be afterwards carefully examined, and its expediency tested by its conformity or antagonism to protective principles.
