the eastward but which have also besan in
Virginia--and the general simplicity Of the
former comports much better With iry ideas

fact, which ! think. every one will admit, as
have stated it, %
While the goods imported by the mer-
chants Of Massachusetts, were TO be found
scattered in every part OF the United States,
very little OF those received in other states
found their way to Massachusetts for the res
son that her people had nonoPolizcd the car
rying and eoasnng trade of the country, as
observed above. And from much personal
observation and some inquiry among the coon
mission merchants Of Baltimore, venture 10
say, that at least three millions Of the said
fo!y millions collected" in Massachusetts,
was really paid through Baltimore. One
house in this city received foreign goods
from Boston, Salem, and few other eastern
ports, to the value of million FER arnum,
which might he about q fourth OF The whole,
and as great portion Of this value was made
up Of wines, teas and India goods on which
the duties are cxceediryly ly high, the amoun'
supposed TO have been paid through Balti-
