AMERICAN JM,fWUF.8CTJJRE,S
That The home manufacture of the arms and
munitions OF war necessary to the defence OF our
homes, ought to be encouraged in preference Ia
all other manufactures IS an indisputable truth
1t has been so felt by every intelligent man IN the
community, and it has been by the government
and its ag nts acted upon for many Years. II is
an essential required by the Commssary Gen sral
of purchases, that the articles purchased shall
be "of American Manufacture" The govern.
ments of the continent of Europe acting upon a
different and most unwise principle, have for
may years received a large portion of their sub.
sides from England in army supplies, clothing
&c. &c. The consequence has been what nigh;
easonably have been expected: such manufacto.
res have almost persisted on the continent, and
Great Britain is more than ever the workshop OF
europe.
We are led TO these observations from fact
which has within few bours come to our know.
edge. A gun smith in this city rs about to con.
tractor has contracted,with government for 100.
900 muskets aud bayonets, of a Ger ain quality
&c. at price much higher than the same quail.
~ &c. could be impopted from Europe and deli.
yered here The reason is obviously to foster
our own manufacture of arms but this object
will be utterly defeated, and the bounty paid 20
encourage American manufactures, will answer
no other purpose than to enrich an Individual. al
the expence of the public if that individual be
permitted to send to Europe and import the
Locks, the Barrels and BAYosETs, and having
put them together be allowed to pass them oil
as AMKHIcAN MUsKETs.
We place the facts before the people and the
government 10 the end, that measures NAV
be adopted by tie government, TO prevent such
fraud beng committed on the people.

In the act of making her escape, he stab'd
