Title A name given to the resource Cases of Conscience Description An account of the resource <div> The Pennsylvania Freeman gives us a gentle h[?] for having so dull a conscience respecting the use of slave labor produce. It copies an item from a late No. of the Christian, and glances an arrow at us, as will be seen below. REFORMATORY.—The Editor of the Christian Freeman has been asked, on a case of conscience, whether it would be right for a strict temperance man to sell timber to a cooper to make up into rum casks. The Editor says he has not 'instinctive discernment' enough to decide so nice a point. We should think a plain NO was the-only tolerable answer. A man who well sell grain to be distilled into intoxicating liquor, or timber to encask it, fails to discountenance intemperance 'in all suitable ways.'— <xsl-text></xsl-text>Practical Christian.<xsl-text></xsl-text> The Practical Christian decides that point without any hesitation. One would think it quite as easy to say No, to the question, is it right for abolitionists to pay the slaveholder the price of the products of his stolen labor, because they are a little cheaper than the products of honest industry. Yet our good friend Ballou lacks the 'instinctive discernment' to answer this. Why can he not see as clearly the wrong of this connection with sin, as in the case he names? Surely it is quite as direct, and abstinence from it as practicable. Cannot our Free Produce friends discriminate correctly, or is the obfuscation all in <xsl-text></xsl-text>our <xsl-text></xsl-text>mental vision? We could not sell stave timber to work up into rum casks, or our grain to be manufactured into whiskey. Why? Because these uses of our stave timber and grain are <xsl-text></xsl-text>evil<xsl-text></xsl-text>, SINFUL; and we cannot be innocent in knowingly selling useful substances for sinful purposes. But the distiller has some old rejected liquor casks, which are suitable for keeping soap. We need casks for that purpose, which is a good purpose, and these are much cheaper than new ones. So we go and purchase his old ruin casks for soap barrels. We testify faithfully against his sinful business, and tell him that while we can sell him nothing to make a <xsl-text></xsl-text>bad <xsl-text></xsl-text>use of, we can sell to him or buy of him anything to make a <xsl-text></xsl-text>good <xsl-text></xsl-text>use of. We are inconsistent, are we? If we cannot furnish him for money our stave timber and grain to pervert to sinful uses, we cannot buy his rejected liquor casks to put to a <xsl-text></xsl-text>good <xsl-text></xsl-text>use! We do not understand such logic. Again; we cannot sell ship timber to build a known slaver, nor help kidnap slaves, nor furnish articles to be worked into slave whips, branding irons, torture collars and hand cuffs, nor recognize a slaveholder as a suitable member in the Christian Church, or in a republican State. But, says brother Free Producer, 'you can purchase and use cotton cloth manufactured out of cotton raised by slave labor! You have no scruples of conscience against this!' No. If we can buy it as an out-spoken anti-slavery man, without compromise or concealment, we have no scruples against doing so. It is a good thing, which we need for a good use, and which we obtain without abating or suppressing our testimony against slavery, or cotton mill oppression. 'But you know that the cotton was raised by slaveholders, by means of slave labor.' Yes, and we know that it was manufactured into cloth without paying all the operatives a full equivalent for their labor. Shall we therefore scruple to buy and use it for a good purpose? 'But you thereby and others in enriching the wicked cotton grower, and so confirm him in slave-holding.' Shall we not do the same thing if we trade at all with people who trade with slave-holders? Why not? We buy broadcloth which was paid for in England with southern cotton. The slaveholder sold his cotton to a trader, who took it to Liverpool, and exchanged it for broadcloth. He brought the broadcloth to Boston, whence it came to Milford, where we buy a piece of it for a new coal. In this case we do not enrich and encourage the slaveholder, do we? A slave-holder swaps a slave for four horses, or for ten silver watches, or for five bales of linen goods. Now we may innocently buy one of these horses, watches, or a bale of linen goods; but if we buy a cotton shirt, or a pint of rice, or a pound of sugar, we buy <xsl-text></xsl-text>stolen goods<xsl-text></xsl-text>, and as a partaker are guilty with the slaveholder of the great transgression. We confess we do not see how men and women of sense can reason in this way. We respect their tenderness of conscience, but we cannot respect their logic. If the fault is in our own head or heart, Heaven grant us a speedy deliverance. We want to go all lengths with a right conscience. But we do not believe a thoroughly enlightened conscience ever quarrels with a thoroughly enlightened reason. Brother Freeman, if we are wild and inconsistent, do not let us off without due correction. </div> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Liberator Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 12.1.1848 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource JUVENILE DEPARTMENT. <xsl-text></xsl-text> For the Liberator.<xsl-text></xsl-text> AUNT MARGERY'S TALK WITH THE YOUNG FOLKS. FIRST EVENING. Go fetch my spectacles, Georgy, and let me look at these pictures you have been talking so much about. Ah, they are about the poor slaves! When I was a child, I never saw any thing of this kind. Look, aunt, how frightened the poor things look, as that ugly cross man. comes among them with his great whip. Oh if I was only a man, and where they are, how I would like to give it to him over his own shoulders! and I would too, if he didn't quit when I told him to. O George, that would not be right, said a little girl about two years older than himself; besides, It would very likely make him angry, and he might whip the slave a great deal harder when you were gone. <xsl-text></xsl-text>George. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Yes, but I wouldn't let him; I would break his whip all to pieces. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>But I will tell you, little George, and Catharine too, how you can help the slaves much better now while you are a child, than by fancying what you would do if you were a man. <xsl-text></xsl-text>G. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Can you, aunt? oh how glad we shall be to know that! <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Well then, you know, do you not, that it is to work for the whites that so many of the colored people are kept in slavery? <xsl-text></xsl-text>G. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Yes, Aunt. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>But did you ever think about their having to work for you? <xsl-text></xsl-text>G. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Why no, aunt; we never saw any slaves. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>But they work for you, for all that; But it is such a little while since you knew or cared about the slaves, that I expected you had never thought of it. What were you eating, Catharine, when you came from school this evening? <xsl-text></xsl-text>C. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Molasses candy, aunt, and George had mint-stick. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>And don't you know that the molasses and the sugar were made by slaves? <xsl-text></xsl-text>C. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Yes, aunt, I did know, but I had forgotten it then. Then you mean, I suppose, that the slaves work for us when we use any thing that they raise, and we use sugar every day, so that I am afraid they work for us a great deal. But I never saw you eat any sugar, or any thing with it in, except when another told you it was free sugar . I did not know till the other day what she meant by that, or why you eat no sugar. But the free sugar is not made by slaves. I wonder every body does not use that sort—I mean except the people who keep slaves. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>There are many persons, my dear, who cannot get free sugar so conveniently as the other kind. There is a much greater quantity raised by slaves than by free people; and many persons who have been accustomed all their lives to use it, do not think enough about the way in which it is made to be willing to do without it, or to take much trouble to procure such as is free. But it is only because people will buy what is raised by slaves, that slavery is continued; if they would not do so, nobody would want to hold slaves, because it would not be profitable. Little children can help some in this way to get the slaves made free, and when they grow older they can help much more and in many other ways. And every person who will use no more than can be helped of any thing that is made by the labor of slaves, will, very likely, be the means of inducing some-others to do the same; and these other people will get their friends to think as they do, so that one person may in the manner be the means of twenty or fifty becoming the friends of the poor ill-used slave. <xsl-text></xsl-text>C. <xsl-text></xsl-text>What else do the slaves raise, aunt, besides sugar? <xsl-text></xsl-text>Aunt M. <xsl-text></xsl-text>Cotton, rice, ginger, pepper, coffee, and several other things are raised by slave labor. But there is much coffee raised also by free people that which is brought from the island of Java, and from St. Domingo or Hayti, and some other places, is raised by free people. Cotton, rice and sugar are raised in the United States by slaves, but much sugar is brought from the West Indies. The labor of cultivating sugar, and rice also, in the way they are managed on the slave plantations, is very severe and both of them are things that people can do without. Children do not buy their own clothes, and therefore must wear whatever their parents please to provide them with. But they can do without sugar and rice pudding if they will. They need not spend their money for sweet things unless they choose, and when they are at their meals they can tell their parents they had rather not eat anything that is raised by the slaves. A little friend of mine, who is about six years old, came to me a few weeks ago, after hearing the story of 'An Evening at Home' read from the 'Liberator,' to ask me to tell her more about the poor slave people. I did so; and when she went to her tea that evening. I heard her say, 'Mother, I don't want you to put any sugar in my tea; I had rather have it without, because the sugar was made by slaves.' And her mother did not give her any. You can do so too; and if you say, 'if you please, mother,' I do not think your mother will be offended with you, though she does not herself like to go without sugar for the sake of the slaves. And now we must go down stairs, for ten is ready. <xsl-text></xsl-text>C. <xsl-text></xsl-text>But you will talk to us some more to-marrow evening, when we come home from school, will you not, aunt Margery?

Title A name given to the resource Debate on the Sugar Duty Description An account of the resource The following remarks were made in the House of Representatives on the 5th inst.: Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, regretted that the House was called upon to decide upon the dangerous questions involved in this bill in a manner far too hasty for safety. He referred to the past legislation of Congress upon the subject of the tariff, and showed that the greatest increase in the production of sugar had taken place in Louisiana and Cuba, and that its greatest increase of consumption was in Great Britain and the United States. Gentlemen had said that the production of sugar In the country was not equal to his consumption; but it was his opinion that if they were well acquainted with its cultivation they would think that it was just as likely to meet the demand as any branch of manufacture. Mr. Colfax, of Indiana, spoke in favor of free sugar; and while thanking the Majority of the Ways and Means Committee for allowing him argue for the sugar consumers before them while preparing their tariff, and for the reduction they propose to t-n percent., urged that the change should not be a partial, but an entire one. He intended that the sugar duly was not needed for revenue purposes, the treasury being already overflowing; mid that as a practical experiment, having been tried for sixty years, it had utterly failed, the crop having virtually run out. He argued that one eighth of the whole tariff receipts last year were collected from sugar and molasses, making twenty five millions of consumers pay a lax as needless as oppressive; that the total horns product was not one-sixth of the consumption; that New Orleans itself imported twenty-five million pounds of foreign sugar last year, and Baltimore forty-three millions; that the whole crop of the country was insufficient to supply the farmers of the Mississippi Valley alone, leaving the remainder of the whole country to draw their supply from abroad; that more duty had been paid on imported sugar last year than the whole amount raised in this country would have cost at Havana, and that it would therefore have been a saving to have repealed the tax and given the whole amount as a bounty to the sugar planters to consent to the repeal, that if the Chinese sugar cane recently introduced proved half as valuable as is claimed for it, sugar would not need protection any more than corn or cord wood. He expressed th opinion that if the question of free sugar was submitted to the voters of every Congressional district in the Union, not twenty out of 234 would vote no.

An unusual breadth of land has been planted this year, and, with anything like a fair season, in his opinion, an average crop will surely be made." If the friends of free sugar persist in their agitation, we should not wonder if the sugar planters should quit complaining altogether, and find out that the cane was never healthier, the season better, the extent of planting greater, the prospect brighter. Really, it is time to have done with such trifling.
