lies The labors Of the FIELD are precarious
from the seasons, and the condition OF the.
farmer to give employment, whereas the ma
nufactory which supplies the wants OF the
people, can only cease with those wants being
supplied. The vast impetus which manufac-
lures would give to the national machine, can
only be imagined from beholdils the fiscal re-
sources Of other countries rs collerieS and
fisheries form the basis of naval strength, SO
agriculture and manufactures are the iounda-
ton OF commercial importance so essential
are they to each other, that agriculture may
be termed the heart, whics ditfuscs life to the
manufacturing system, and regulates the
pulse OF tie national constitution.
