THE Subferiber desires all persons, without
exception, indebted to him before the fall
of Charleston, either on his private account, or
tinder the different firms of Kerfhaw and Hoyle,
Kerfliaw and Wyllie, or John Wyllie and Co. at
their Stores in Camden, or under the firm of Ker
fhaw and Co. or George Ancrum, jun. and Co.
in Charleston, to difeharge the several bonds, notes
or accounts due to him, or any of the concerns a
bove mentioned, or to fettle as the law direds.

time every produce of the country will be received
in payment, at the highett market price.
At the ensuing court at Camden, will be rented
on a lease for three years, to the highest bidder,
his valuable Plantations, lying near and adjoining
the village of Camden, and the Plantations adjoin
ing his mills on Spears's Creek. The whole will
be divided into final! and convenient tta&s: Also,
the Ferry, opposite to Camden, commonly known
by the name of Gacent's Ferry, with the rich lands
adjoining. All the above lands are well known to
be inferior to none on the river, The amazing loss
of property he has faftAined by the enemy and other
plunderers, has put it out of his power to cultivate
his lands.
The Tobacco Ware Hohfe at his landing is in
confpleat order, and another will soon be ready at
Gacent's Ferry, for the reception of tobacco or any
other produce that may be brough there, which
will be carried to Charleston or Georgetown, on

vered as maybe directed by the owners.

From the Freeman's Journal of Septem
ber 24, 1783.
Mr. Printer,
UNCONNECTED with either the mechanic,
manufadurer, or merchant, of the city cf
Philadelphia: but particularly interested in the
welfare of this Rate, I beg leave through the
channel of your paper to lay before the good peo
ple of Pennsylvania, the following Queries.
Query 1. Whether the prelent inundation of
goods into this city, particularly from Great Bri
tain, if fuffered to continue, will not in the course
of a little time drain us of all our foecie ?
Que. 2. If the want of (pecie is not always fol
lowed with a paper of nominal currency; whether
if it should be again try'd in this country, and
flionld again fail, as it did during the late contest,
what would be the confluence ?
Que. 3. Whether the ballance cl trade being
against any Country, does not anfc from not pro
ducing articles of commerce within herfelf Suffi
cient for her own consumption. and enough to
export for barter to foreign countries, for what she
herfelf may want ?
Que. 4. Whether the mechanic and manufac
turer, who works for our own consumption, as well
as for exportation, should not have a fair chance
With the merchant, and whether it can be any other
way done than by laying a duty upon all imported
goods, that interfere with maoufaduring in this
Ilate ; 1 mean Inch a duty poly as wgl bring the
merchants price utyri apar with what the manu
fa&uer and mechanic afl<ed before the war.
Que. 4. Whether if the prefect importations
Ihould continue without reftri&ion. by which the
merchant should be so far enabled to underfill the
tradesman, as to entirely ruin and flop his trade
for the future, whether we should not fobn have
more reason to complain of the extortion of the
merchant than we ever had of the tradesman, and
with the additional mortification of knowing that
every farthing he got from us he sent out of our
country, and we Ihould have no redress ; for if
once our manufacturers were ruined and dispersed
it would almost take an age to replace them.
Que. 6. Whether the farmer does not aft in
favour of his own interest when he gives the shoe
maker ten Killings, for a pair of Ihocs, in prefer
ence to the merchant from whom he can purchase
a pair for seven and sixpence ; and for this reafon,—
does not the shoemaker carry his money to the tan
ner, and he to the farmer for bark and the butcher
for hides, who also purchafes' his cattle fiom the
farmer; now it follows, that there would be no
purchaser for the bark were it not for the tanner,
and that if the hides were exported raw they would
not bring the butcher any thing, he would not
therefore be able to give the farmer so much for his
cattle; it therefore follows, that the shoemaker
helps to keep up the price of the farmers produce,
and consequently it is the farmers interest to sup
port him: but by giving the money to the mer
chant he helps to work his own ruin in the following
manner —The merchant fends the money to Europe
for goods, and he and the rest of his fraternity as
sociate to keep them as high as possible; they know
you must have them, you have no money but mult
offer produce to barter for such articles as you want,
and as there is nobody to interfere with them in
the purchase they will have your produce at their
own price, when you'll find that all you can raise
on your farms will not supply you with a fufficiency
to barter they get you in debt as they did the Vir
ginians before the late contest—in Ihort, seize upon
your estate and beggar your family.
