position, within the very enyr6ns Of our most po.
pulous cities. And think that unless some law is
speedily enacted to prevent the species of fraud to
which allude, the manufacturing interest of this
country Will be much impaired, If not totally ami
hl'aed You cannot be ignorant ofthe circumstance,
that all OF our best fabrics have been initiated in
England, and although much inferior in quality
imported INTO this country and actually sold 10 the
most public manner for the best domestic goods
But there is a corroboratng circumstance, of less
notoriety, and considerably more dangerous, which
is my principal object to bring within the bounds
OF public knowledge In order to render this kind
oil fraud less liable to detection, large quantities of
goods have been imported, having on them tickets,
purporting them to be manufactured in the United
States. For instance, recently had the mortfca-
ton oil seeing in the possession of friend large
quantity Of imported goods ticketed thus: " Indigo
blues, manufactured By j. Steele 4 Co. PhiladeL-
phia." The colours, although called Indigo, l dis
covered to bt fugitive, andth quality very inferior;
but the imitation SO exact to require the most
experienced Judge to detect the fraud. Upon en-
curing into the matter, l was told that the goods
alluded TO were imported by ]. G. Oliver, of Phila-
dephia; and that Steel, after having failed in bu-
siness, had connected himself with J. G.. Oliver
under the firm of :" j. Steel & Co. Manufacturers"
With these reflections and statements leave you
to the cogitations of your own mind.
