Protective Shipping Policy Cited by Navigation Commissioner
Mr Bates the commissioner of navigation in his annual report argues the early protective shipping policy built domestic strength while free trade harmed foreign trade. He notes a rise from 25% to 90% carriage in foreign trade before 1812 and 90% again after the war, then declines after 1826 under reduced protection. He urges a marine board in the Treasury, opposes federal vessel inspections, and calls to protect seamen wages and expand immigrant ship space. He also advocates abrogating the Great Britain lake vessels treaty and repealing the 1852 act on foreign vessels.
