By GEORGE w. p. GUSTS ESQ.
OF .drAngton House, in the District ct Co..
iunbia.
Az a time when the energies of the ma
reign and domestic concerns, we conceive
that the important interests of Agriculture
and Manufactures should meet with con.i-
derable share of the public discussion. Ger
tain it is, that at no period of our political
history could these national subjects excite
more interest or be more properly urged to
the notice Of the pnbi5 mind. The unsettled
and Impending appearance O: our foreign al
fairs, and the present disturbed state of the
European world, renders it doubly necessary
for the citizens of America to cherish and
promote their domestic policy, whereby they
may derive those resources which arc now
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
industry within themselves. Too long have
these important and patriotic interests 6een
neglected. The nation now feels their want,
and we trust will duly provide for their sup
port. Government. hitherto engaged in other
concerns, will now cherish those domestic
Institutions, which will preserve the nations
dignity and promote the peoples welfare.
Of>the merits Of the little work We are
about to issue to the public, ii IS not our pro-
vince to decide, but of the advantages to be
derived from It's sale we would beg leave to
say every thing which disinterested exertion
in the cause Of Domestic Manufacture justly
demands-A And as the profits OF this work,
sitter the expences of publication are pad,
will be solely devoted to the purposes OF the
Arlington Institution, we may hope and con-
6dentIy expect liberal patronage from
discerning and patriotic community.
