THE MONITOR. No. III.
THE state of prosperity in a country is never stationary; it must either be on the increase or the decrease; and the causes which influence it, for the present, must continue to do so, as long as they are more powerful than the other causes which have a tendency to produce different effects.
remaining stock would last, with a determination to go on to the last farthing, and then depend on chance for a future supply.
But let us not despair; our case although it is critical, is far from being desperate; and our disorder, though complicated, is still fully within the power of medicine. If we have discovered the real causes of our complaint and will seriously exert ourselves in the application of the proper remedies to remove those causes, there can be no doubt but that we shall be able to get the better of the complaint itself.
A constant attention to the increase of domestic manufactures; a strict adherence to the general rules of economy; a determined resolution to purchase nothing that we can do without; the considering it as an invariable maxim to give the preference to the manufactures of our own country, as far as they can be made to answer our real wants, and unceasing efforts to encircle to the utmost the exports of our country; will not only effectually remove the present complaint, but bring the body politic into a greater degree of health and vigour than it enjoyed before its disorder.
Domestic manufactures when carried on to the extent and with the spirit they may be, contain in them not only the antidotes of many poisons but they may also be considered as the only foundation on which the health and prosperity of the state can be rested. Every appearance of health and prosperity without their aid will be only temporary and delusive, they alone can give them permanency.
manufacture the article if it was done in our family, instead of calculating what to much of the time of those who would have made it there, would produce it if they were employed in that manner, when they would really be doing nothing if not employed in that way: to that in fact, whenever we purchase what we could make in our families, we ought to add to the price of the article what would have been the value of the labour of that part of the family who could have made it at home if they had been occupied in that way, but who for the want of employment of that kind were idle.
Those who contend for the policy of purchasing such articles instead of manufacturing them, argue against the experience of the world: let them enquire into the present situation of any number of families who have been accustomed to supply themselves in these different ways, and they will find the advantage not only in point of wealth, but also of real comfort and plenty on the side of those who depend on their own wheels and looms for their necessary clothing, &c.
Let them see two such families together, and ask the father of each of them what his coat cost him: the one, with a sigh will calculate the price of the cloth, trimmings and making; the other will tell them with a look of love and esteem cast on his wife and daughter, that he paid only for the pulling the cloth, and that all the rest being done at home, cost him nothing. If we could for a moment be placed in this situation and have the feelings of all the persons present at such an enquiry, it would have more effect than volumes written on the subject.
The success of home manufactures is so all important to the welfare of this country, that the excelling in them should be declared or admitted to be the only just foundation of a claim to superior rank in our free country: if this could be done we should enlist pride in the cause of virtue; and we should then see the fine ladies and gentlemen more solicitous to exhibit their homespun gowns and coats to public view, than they now are to conceal them.
FROM THE FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM.
COMMON SENSE IN DISHABILLES.
LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.
When this lovely brace of Sisters landed on our shores, with smiles on their faces, and the olive branch in their hands, they were received in open arms. We looked with the eyes of a lover, and every thing via Paris was charming. The graces themselves, had they visited our shores, would scarcely have received more attention.

Ly. A council was called, and Sambo invited among the rest "Children," says he, this is an age of reformation. We have improved upon the English principles of education and government, and the French upon ours. It is proved we are all born free and equal I have adhered to the erroneous notions of our forefathers long enough. Hereafter I will lay aside commands and punishments, the instruments of tyrants, and you shall be governed by reason. Your own judgment, instead of my severity, shall correct your faults. It shall be my part to request, and yours to comply. "You berry good master; I thank you master," says Sambo, with a low bow—"I like your resolution," says Edward the oldest son, who had long sighed for liberty—"That's your for-cried master Billy, clapping his hands—Miss Betsy courtseyed—The wife, whose claim to equality was already established, was pleased with the anticipation of something more. All was joy and complacency. A civic dinner ensued. A little dispute arose about the propriety of Sambo's sitting at table. None shewed resentment or used high words, but Betsy and her master, who insisted that liberty and equality were never made for the negroes. Edward could not see why black and white might not set as well together round a table as round a woman's head, and observed that these coulers, with almost every other had often been good companions, on his master's head diels. Ned was a shrewd fellow; he foresaw Sambo would soon rule the roast, and wished to secure his favor. The good man settled the dispute by a conciliatory proposition. The family were to wait on themselves, and Sambo to relinquish his equal right of sitting at the table with them. Excessive good nature is often the introduction to quarrels.
After dinner the master wished to ride out of town. Sambo was requested to saddle the horse and brush his boots. The horse was prepared; but when the boots were called for, Sambo was brushing his own shoes. He waited patiently till they were ready, then went out to mount his horse—None to be found—Ned understood the doctrine of equal rights, had ridden off his father's horse and left him in the lurch. He begins to suspect that his new doctrine, which seemed an angel in theory would be a devil in practice; like hasty converts, he soon becomes an apostate. The next day a number of his friends were invited to dine with him, and discuss his new principles. Sambo had pitched on the same time to convene his companions; the footy tribe had taken possession of the kitchen just before his master's party entered the parlour. He thought himself lord of the kitchen had reserved a few of the best pieces for his own table, and was handing round the second bottle in celebration of his independence, when the maid related his proceedings to the mistress. She talked loudly on the subject. The master blushed for shame, stepped into the kitchen and invited Sambo to tend the table, at the same time reproached him for the freedom he had taken, Sambo was two much intoxicated with the spirit of liberty and West-India to fear or obey, but not enough to forget the overtures of the day before. He answered abruptly he must be excused for the present. The master thought it time to use the old fashioned instruments of commands and punishments or rather without stopping to think, began to use them. High words and hard blows ensued. The noise reached the parlor. Every white face reddened with blushes and resentment, and liberty and equality were echoed from each corner of the kitchen by the blacks. I need not relate the sequel. The gentleman never hears liberty and equality pronounced, without shaking his head; he has often declared that he had rather have the old boxers Castor and Pollux, in his house, and that he believed that if they were allowed to run at large in our country, they would do more mischief than sword and famine. Liberty, uncontroll'd, experience proves to be one of the worst of tyrants; accompanied with good order and good laws, as she was one of the first fetters of this country; may she be found among its last inhabitants. I do not pretend to write for nations; my pen is employed for family use,
If you are a father, and your boy begins to prate about equality, take off his hat, hang it up as high as you can reach, and bid him do the same with yours; if he says he is not tall enough, tell him to say no more about equality, till he is of equal stature with yourself.
From the (New-London) BEE.
When Spurius Postumus the Roman consul, made the "Claudian treaty so memorable for the Romans dishonour," he returned home, covered with shame and confusion; and made a speech to the senate of the following purport: "that the disgraceful treaty he had entered into with the Samnites, being made without the knowledge or consent of the people, the state of Rome was in no manner bound to fulfill it: suppose, said he, that we had engaged that the people of Rome should forsake the city, or set fire to it, or be again governed by kings, would they be obliged to perform our agreement? if the people can without their consent be bound to one thing, they may be bound to every thing. The Samnites could require nothing but the bodies of those who made the treaty; and therefore, he insisted, let us, naked & in chains, be delivered up to them, and so discharge our fellow citizens from obligations, if any there are, in which we have entangled them, that they may stand in the same relation to the Samnites they were before the ignominious compact was entered into."
What an example is this for modern negotiators! But tempora mutantur; and we see that when a treaty is once made, let it be never so disadvantageous or dishonourable to the country, we are told it will be the highest breach of national faith not to perform it; and all the loss and disgrace is to be borne by the people, who had no voice in the transaction. But the Romans were a powerful nation, and we are weak; and justice we know, is always on the strongest side; therefore when the paw of the lion is laid upon us, though ever so unjustly, we must trust to his "justice and magnanimity" and patiently bear its weight till he pleases to take it off, or he may tear our vitals out, if we presume to remonstrate. Policy shews a thousand advantages in compliance; that are not to be found in resistance; and the fearful and weak are never at a loss for arguments for agreeing to the terms of the haughty and powerful.
From the (New-York) Time Piece. Fools will be meddling.
At a time when the wise and prudent are exerting every nerve, and every friend to human nature is throwing in his mite, to preserve peace and good will among mankind, and prevent this country from being harrased by the scourge of nations, war, the interested & the designing are busy in blowing up the embers of discord. This spirit has at length found its way into colleges and academies of science into those institutions which ought to be the repositories of philosophy; where youth are, or ought to be, trained up to become the lights of the world, and qualify themselves to forward that great principle of humanizing, civilizing and harmonizing a race too naturally prone to discord and to render each other's situation uneasy on this earth. In several late college exhibitions in the different states, the pupils have spoken their sentiments (perhaps of their tutors) with unqualified acrimony, against that enlightened nation, which founding heroism on the principles of philosophy, has extended its benevolent idea of government into every quarter of the world, and thereby opened the way for that great philanthropic political system, without the prevalence of which on this globe, the whole of nature's sublunary works is an involvable riddle, which daily prompts the tool to say in his heart, There is no God . It is in vain for these gentlemen to hope at the present crisis of things, to set the American nation at enmity with France. The republican spirit is peace, harmony, and good will among men; the sentiment of America must operate congenially with that of France, in order to confront the demon of monarchy, and drive him to his native obscurity. Ye preceptors, ye fathers of colleges, who possess sentiments unfriendly to the right of man, insult not the public mind, wound not the feelings of your audiences by making in-
nocent youth the organs of your malice, and as far as lies in your power widen the breach, already too far effected by the arts of designing men; between the American and the Gallic republics, our chain of unity, although not bright, will not be easily broken; and British property taken by the French during the time of war, under the protection of a neutral flag, without a reciprocal privilege allowed to France, is too unmeaning a cattle for exciting serious misunderstandings between the two republics.
From the Charleston City Gazette. Curious Fiction.
The following is a curious and ingenious specimen of the artifice which has been employed to keep up the spirit of superstition, for securing the objects of ambitious and avaricious rulers in the Christian church.
"In a book of sermons composed by the theological faculty at Vienna in this age of superstition, (the 14 cent.) in order to recommend their relics to the people, it is asserted, that the thirty pieces of money which Judas received for betraying his master, were coined by Terah, Abraham's father, a celebrated artificer under king Nimrod, who gave them to Abraham, by whom the field of Ephron the Hittite was purchased with this money: thence they passed into the hands of the Ishmaelites who paid them to the brethren of Joseph, when they purchased him. When Joseph's brethren went to buy corn in Egypt, they paid their money to Joseph, by which means it came into Pharaoh's treasury; hence the pieces were given to Moses, when sent by the king of Egypt, with an army to subdue Ethiopia. Moses upon this occasion, gave them, as a dowry to a queen of Sheba, whose descendant presented them to Solomon, by whom they were placed in the royal treasury, and continued there till Nebuchadnezzar seized them among the spoils of Jerusalem, and presented them to one of his auxiliaries, an Arabian king, from whom sprung one of those eastern kings who came to worship Christ, at his birth, and who presented them to Mary. By her they were made an offering, at the purification, when she presented her son, and were again employed in purchasing Christ."
"They are now dispersed in different parts of the world; one of which in gold, as large as an English noble, is shewn in the entrance of St. Peter's church at Rome."
But the age of relics and superstition is fast passing away.

***** LONDON, August 13.
A defender from the north of Ireland who was lately taken up at Limerick, on being examined by Gen Dundas, confessed that he had deserted from the Louth militia, for the purpose of more extensively promoting the cause he revered, & for which he would freely die. He said he was one of the four that had been nominated to murder a clergyman named Nipe, which he was prevented from effecting, by an engagement with the Tipperary militia, in which he had been wounded. To the general's question, "what he & his party wanted?" he replied, "Catholic emancipation, parliamentary reform, and an abolition of tythes."

NEW-YORK, October 9. British Recruits.
We hold documents, which warrant the assertion, that there are several public British rendezvouses, in this city, for recruiting of men to put on board the Thetis and Pregnante, now off Governors Island; that several officers with tempting guineas, generally attend, and that upwards of fifty have been already put on board!!!
These circumstances are noted, that government may not remain ignorant of the acts, without intending a remark at present upon the lawfulness of such proceedings on neutral ground.

Phelim O'Flanagan to Henrietta.
As a lock of fresh hay to a cow, Who all day has been chewing the end; As a pail full of swill to a sow; To a boar as a puddle of mud;
Far sweeter to me is thy face, Where chalk and red-ochre appear; Where the lily is robb'd of each grace, And the rose is in bloom all the year.
How fair, Henrietta, thy name, Which, alas! all comparison mocks; The eel may attempt but in vain, To rival the swiftness of thy locks.
The notes of thy songs far excel The bray of the musical jack— Or, Orpheus, when tripping to hell, To coax his Eurydice back.
While lovers their destiny moan, That their ladies are colder than clay, That their bosoms are harder than stone, Mine is softer than butter or whey.
Should 'Rietta poor Phelim so fake, The world into mourning would go; And bull-frogs would grunt at his fate, And mud-turtles pine at his woes.
Phelim.
ANECDOLE.
A Spanish traveller met an Indian in the middle of a desert; they were both on horseback. The Spaniard, who feared that his horse would not hold out to the end of his journey, because he was none of the best, asked the Indian, who had a young and strong one, to make an exchange, but this he refused. The Spaniard, upon this, quarrelled with him; in short they came to blows, and the aggressor, being well armed, easily seized the horse he desired, and continued his journey. The Indian followed him as far as the nearest city, and then went and complained to the judge. The Spaniard was obliged to appear and bring the horse with him: he treated the Indian as a cheat, affirmed that the horse belonged to him, and that he had bred him from a colt. There were no proofs to the contrary; and the judge, undetermined, was going to dismiss the pleaders from the court, when the Indian cried out, "The horse is mine, and I'll prove it!" He immediately took off his mantle, and with it quickly covered the head of the animal; then addressing himself to the judge—"Since this man," says he, "affirms that he has bred this horse, command him to tell, of which of his two eyes he is blind." The Spaniard, who would not seem to hesitate, instantly answered, "Of the right eye." "He is neither blind," said the Indian, "of the right eye nor of the left." The judge, convinced by a proof so ingenious and decisive, decreed him the horse, and the Spaniard was punished as a robber.
He who fully estimates the preciousness of that bright jewel a Good Name, if he has it not will diligently seek it—if he has it, will carefully preserve it.
Lately died in Ireland, Daniel Bull Macarthy esq. aged 112. He was married to five wives; he married the fifth, who survives him, when he was 84, and she 14, by whom he had 20 children, she bearing a child every year. He was very healthy—no cold ever affected him—and he could not bear the warmth of a shirt in the night time, but put it under his pillow for the last 70 years. In company he drank plentifully of rum and brandy which he called the naked truth; and when out of complaint to other gentlemen, he took claret or port, he always drank an equal glass of rum or brandy, to qualify those liquors; this he called a wedge. He used to walk eight or ten miles in a winter's morning, with grey hounds and finders, and seldom failed to bring home a brace of hares.

The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass un-answered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me—if he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentleman if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do.
