He did not win many friends, however, when he cut wages in response to competition. His employees rioted, damaging the factory and assaulting him in fury. The ascendancy of the tobacco lords was largely over, but the West India merchants were still influential. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, the cotton manufacturers were taking over. Henry Monteith played a major role in securing the supremacy of the cotton trade in the city’s economy.
In his role as Lord Provost during 1920, he had to make provisions for the Radical War of the Scottish workforce, employing militia to counteract this insurrection. In the same capacity he oversaw the hanging of James Wilson on August 30, 1820 on the alleged charge of treason.
