  Hamilton's Report on Manufacturing
The substitution of foreign for domestic manufactures is a transfer to foreign nations of the advantages accruing from the employment of machinery, in the modes in which it is capable of being employed with most utility and to the greatest extent.
And thus it appears to be one of the attributes of manufactures, and one of no small consequence, to give occasion to the exertion of a greater quantity of industry, even by the same number of persons, where they happen to prevail, than would exist if there were no such establishments.
Manufacturers, who constitute the most numerous class, after the cultivators of land, are for that reason the principal consumers of the surplus of their labor.

  Report on Manufactures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Report on Manufactures is a report written by the 1st U.S. Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton to Congress in 1792 recommending economic policies to stimulate the new republic and make it independent from British manufacturing still controlled by King George III.
Hamilton's "Report on Manufactures" laid forth economic principles, rooted in the both the Mercantilist System of Elizabeth I's England and the practices of Jean-Baptiste Colbert who was economic advisor to Louis XIV of France.
His theories in the "Report" would later be incorporated into the "The American System" by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky and his Whig Party.

 Report on the Subject of Manufactures, by Alexander Hamilton
That the establishment of manufactures is calculated not only to increase the general stock of useful and productive labor; but even to improve the state of agriculture in particular; certainly to advance the interests of those who are engaged in it.
This is another and an efficacious mean of encouraging national manufactures, but in general it is only fit to be employed when a manufacture, has made such a progress and is in so many hands as to insure a due competition, and an adequate supply on reasonable terms.
If prior to the domestic production of the material, in sufficient quantity, to supply the manufacturer on good terms; a duty to be laid upon the importation of it from abroad, with a view to promote the raising of it at home, the interests both of the farmer and manufacturer will be disserved.

 From Revolution to Reconstruction: Biographies: A. Hamilton 23
Hamilton urged congress to promote manufacturing so that the United States could be "independent on foreign nations for military and other essential supplies." In addition to national independence, manufacturing would provide a path to equality in the global market.
His report is more concerned with the interdependence of the two economic systems than the ascendancy of one over the other.
To Hamilton the absence of substantial manufacturing in the United States was a gaping hole of opportunity that desperately needed to be filled.

 Report On The Subject Of Manufactures- December 5, 1791
It is now proper to proceed a step further, and to enumerate the principal circumstances from which it may be inferred that manufacturing establishments not only occasion a positive augmentation of the produce and revenue of the society, but that they contribute essentially to rendering them greater than they could possibly be without such establishments.
In places where these institutions prevail, besides the persons regularly engaged in them, they afford occasional and extra employment to industrious individuals and families, who are willing to devote the leisure resulting from the intermissions of their ordinary pursuits to collateral labors, as a resource for multiplying their acquisitions or their enjoyments.
It is a principal means by which the establishment of manufactures contributes to an augmentation of the produce or revenue of a country, and has an immediate and direct relation to the prosperity of agriculture.

Manufacturing establishments not only occasion a positive augmentation of the Produce and Revenue of the Society, but...they contribute to rendering them greater than they could possibly be, without such establishments.
The objections to the pursuit of manufactures in the United States, which next present themselves to discussion, represent an impracticality of success, arising from three causes--scarcity of hands--dearness of labor--want of capital....
It is not uncommon to meet with an opinion that thought the promoting of manufactures may be the interest of a part of the Union, it is contrary to that of another part.

 Alexander Hamilton, Report on Manufactures
Manufacturers who constitute the most numerous class, after the Cultivators of land, are for that reason the principal consumers of the surplus of their labour.
Whether it be that foreign manufactures endeavour to supplant, by underselling our own, or whatever else be the cause, the effect has been such as is stated, and the reverse of what might have been expected.
Particular encouragements of particular manufactures may be of a Nature to sacrifice the interests of landholders to those of manufacturers; But it is nevertheless a maxim, well established by experience, and generally acknowledged where there has been sufficient experience, that the aggregate prosperity of manufactures, and the aggregate prosperity of Agriculture are intimately connected.

 Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Collector Manufacturing Activities 2005
The U.S. manufacture of both solar thermal collector and photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules continued to grow at a strong pace in 2005.
Among the indicators of the shift is the recent increase in module supply agreements by the PV manufacturers.
Because of this, manufacturing costs have risen sharply, and manufacturers such as Evergreen Solar and SunPower have changed their business strategies to maintain profits and continue to finance their plans to expand their production and strengthen their distribution capabilities.

The latter report assumes the same latitude of power in the national councils, and applies it to the encouragement of agriculture by means of a society to be established at the seat of government.
Although neither of these reports may have received the sanction of a law carrying it into effect, yet, on the other hand, the extraordinary doctrine contained in both, has passed without the slightest positive mark of disapprobation from the authority to which it was addressed.

It is not uncommon to meet with an opinion that though the promoting of manufactures may be the interest of a part of the Union, it is contrary to that of another part.
Indeed they are perceived so often to succour and to befriend each other, that they come at length to be considered as one: a supposition which has been frequently abused and is not universally true.
Particular encouragements of particular manufactures may be of a Nature to sacrifice the interests of landholders to those of manufacturers; But it is nevertheless a maxim well established by experience, and generally acknowledged, where there has been sufficient experience, that the aggregate prosperity of manufactures, and the aggregate prosperity of Agriculture are intimately connected.

One of the most important processes though, has been the re-location of production and manufacturing to the southern hemisphere (or developing world) where is it cheapest, and the adjustment of northern economies from the predominance of `real' economic activity to service-based economic activity.

To these indications might be added, without looking farther, the official report on manufactures by the late secretary of the treasury, made on the 5th of December, 1791, and the report of a committee of Congress, in January, 1797, on the promotion of agriculture.
Congress have power to suppress insurrections; yet it would not be allowed to follow, that they might employ all the means tending to prevent them; of which a system of moral instruction for the ignorant, and of provident support for the poor, might be regarded as among the most efficacious.
