<HEAD><HI>THE PIN-MAKERS CASE</HI> In Oppo&s;ition to Mr. <HI>KILLIGREW</HI>'S Monopolizing BILL.</HEAD>
<P>THE Pin-makers were Incorporated by King <HI>James</HI> the I. and greatly encouraged by &s;ucceeding Princes, &s;o that the Art of Pin-making is at this time arrived to a greater Perfection than ever in this Kingdom, and the <HI>Pin-makers</HI> are able to make better Wares at ea&s;ier Rates than any foreign Nati|on; whereby their Trade at home is &s;ecured from the <HI>Intru&s;ion of Foreigners,</HI> while they quietly carry on a very con&s;iderable Trade abroad into almo&s;t all the parts of the World, there being exported at lea&s;t <HI>a third part</HI> of what Pins are made in <HI>England;</HI> the Trade of which Manufacture being only to be improved by a free exerci&s;e thereof, which the intended Act will altogether de&s;troy by &s;etting up <HI>&s;o gro&s;s a Monopoly</HI> in &s;o con&s;iderable a Ma|nufacture which mu&s;t inevitably reduce the Pin-makers to the &s;ame condition the <HI>Card-makers</HI> are now brought to, by the like means, in the Reign of King <HI>Charles</HI> the II. even to the ruine of their Trade and them&s;elves together.</P>
<P><LABEL>Objection,</LABEL> But it may be Objected this is no <HI>Monopoly</HI> but only a good de&s;ign to take care of the Poor, whereof there are great Numbers in that Company.</P>
<P N="1"><LABEL> Re&s;p. </LABEL>I. A great cau&s;e hereof is from them&s;elves, the Company generally taking poor Peoples Children Apprentices, who when they come out of their times pre&s;ently &s;et up for Ma&s;ters, without Stock or Credit, and are thereby forced to under-&s;ell their Goods by rea&s;on of their nece&s;&s;ities, which might be prevented, and they get a good Livelihood, would they continue and work Journey-work; and by this means the Number of Apprentices are increa&s;ed to &s;uch an unlimited Number, notwith&s;tanding the Companies care in re&s;training them, many Ma&s;ter-Pin-makers not being able now to procure &s;ufficient hands to work their Goods.</P>
<P N="2"><LABEL>Re&s;p. </LABEL>II. This is a plain <HI>Monopoly,</HI> if the&s;e In&s;idents be con&s;idered.</P>
<P N="1">1. The Inhancing the Price very extravagantly to the Burthen of the Subject, and Inriching &s;ome private Per&s;ons, as appears by the advance of near 40000 <HI>l per Annum</HI> in the Pins.</P>
<P N="2">2. By di&s;couraging this Art in giving encouragement to Foreigners to &s;tock our Market by putting the dealers in the&s;e Goods to &s;eek to be &s;upplyed at ea&s;ier rates than is propo&s;ed by this Act, if it pa&s;s, as was done in the like ca&s;e of the <HI>Card-makers.</HI></P>
<P N="3">3. By improveri&s;hing the makers by &s;tinting them in their Work, and obliging them to &s;it &s;till at the plea&s;ure of the <HI>&V;ndertakers,</HI> a Method very &s;trange to enable the Poor workmen to live, who cannot now the Trade is Free and Open.</P>
<P N="4">4. By cau&s;i<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="2 letters"> the Commodity to be wor&s;e made, which will nece&s;&s;arily en&s;ue, becau&s;e the Prices being &s;et, the Workers are to have a certain Price for &s;uch &s;orts, good or bad, and by that means the Pins will be ill made; and &s;o, in a &s;hort time, will de&s;ervedly lo&s;e their Reputation both at home and abroad, the natural con&s;equence whereof will be to give this &s;o con&s;iderable a Trade to the <HI>Dutch.</HI></P>
<P>Be&s;ides, many other inconveniences will nece&s;&s;arily attend this De&s;ign, if this Bill &s;hould pa&s;s, as is &s;hewn more particularly in the Opponent<HI>'s</HI> Rea&s;ons, and many more will be made appear, if they may <HI>be Heard,</HI> both in reference to the Merchant, Worker, and Buyer.</P>
