The tallndia Comply at present have Gripped
their desperate adventure in chaptered bottoms ; it -
was prudent to to do, or else possibly their obnoxi
ous vessels and cargoes might become a sacrifice to
the resentment of a much injured and exafperat^i
people. The fame consideration might probably
have induced them to appoint our Merchants their
pgents, to Support the firft beat of a&ion, rightly
judging that ir we Should chastise our friends nuith
•whips, we Should chastise their factors qvith scorpions.
But if they can once open the channel of trade to
themselves, they will hereafter Ship their teas in
their own bottoms. They have palled a grots af
front upon our Merchants inappointing Such, whom
werefpe&, Commissioners. Hereafter, ifthey fi;c
teed, they will fend their own factors and creatures,
establish houses amongst US, Ship US all other
Katt-India goods ; and, in order to full freight
their Ship:, take in other kind of goods at under
freight, or (more probably) Ship them on their own
accounts to their own factors, and undersell our
Merchants, till they monopolize the whole trade.
Thus our Merchants are ruined, Blip building
ceases. They will then tell goods at any exorbitant
price. Our Artificers will be unemployed, and
every tradesman will groan under the dire oppres
sion.
Jhe Eaft-IndiaiCompany, if once they get foot
ing in this (once) happy country, will leave no
flone unturned to become your inafters. They are
an opulent body, and money or credit is not want
ing among them. They have a designing, depra
ved, and despotic Ministry to assist and flipport them.
They themselves are well verted in Tyranny,
Plunder, Oppression and Bloodshed. Whole
provinces, labouring under the distresses of oppref
fion, Slavery, famine, and the sword, are familiar
to them. Thus they have enriched themselves, —
Thus they are become the molt powerful trading
company in the universe. Be, therefore, my dear
fellow tiadefmen, prudent,—be watchful,—be de
termined to let n^motive induce You to favour the
accursed scheme. Reject every proppfal, but a re
pealing aN. Let not their baneful commodity en
ter your city. Treat every aider or abettor with
ignominy, contempt, &c. and let your whole de
portment prove to the world, “ THAT WE
WILL BE FREE INDEED."
