Thoughts on tsereaging Of Sheep ard Tie 'nanUfacr
turing Of Woot.
Mr.. AvERILL,
Last evening, happening TO be IN corapany with
my neighbors, A. G.. & r. conversing on the pro-
pfiety oil encouraging the agriculture and 1anuiac~
lures OF oar country, ] observed that the general
government, ought not only etfectually TO protect
The manufacture Of wooden cloths by consldera--
BILE increase OF the duties, but should lay duty or
Foreign wool, in the Same ratio which would M.
duce farmers increase their fiocks OF sheep
My neighbor X. who is farmer, said, What
would you lay duty on the raw MATERIAL My
answer was yes, and when HE increase OF wooy
shall be nearly sufficient for the supply OF the mafl'
Iufacories, would prohibit the importation OF u al
together Go home,'' said he, :" and dream, IT 49,
against all the rules of national economy 10 tax the
raw material"
His views on The subject, of course, concluded
Ito have been drawn from the dt cams OF Adam onirp
an author whose writings are much admired BY tass
English nation but whose Government psrsuc q
policy diametrically opposite. AS the recomnlcn
dation was, TO ego home and drearn," when gaicg
my head upon my pillow, il set me to thinking; j
fancied myself again in the same company, and or
The arrival Of the mail Nationsl InteIgenceT was
received, by which we learned that an increase OF
duties had been laid on fabrics Of wool, and datF
Of ten cents per pound on foreign wool, % Whlei
my neighbor r. says " now it will do 20 increase
our Aocks Of sheep. ! will increase mine 10 ave
hundred the trouble and expense attending aath
stock is riaing in comparison TO that 81 rsisipg
grain, where the amount paid out for labor IS a.
bout equal to the value Of the produce raised MY
neigh bor G.. who is a merchant, has been IN the
habit OF bringing for sale, to the community IN
which reside, wooden goods to the value OF htteen
hundred dollars yearly, for the payment OF whRch
he has TO raise the money and remit within the year
4 My neghbor A. is a cothier and manufactures
of WOOL but for want Of sufficient capital bis bass'
ness is circumscrbed to the carding of wool and
dressing of cloths OF the people in his vicinity
j | again fancied myself in the same communEty
1.-THE following year--whea our farmer had shoFE
his sheep, and had fifteen hundred weight OF wool
ready Cor market, when II would on reaching The
city, command so cents per pound. Our nanafac-
lturer presents himself purchaser OF the wec4
a bargain is made between him and farmer r. or
credit of six months, at the price IT would have
brought in the city, by which sale the farmer saveE
. the expense Of the transportation the raw mate
fl rial is taken 10 the factory, and all hands husily
: employed. The manufacturer finds IT necessary
TO make Some arrangement for procuring his dye
stuffs provisions and other necessares tor hls lam
lily iourneymen and apprentices he calls the
merchant and agrees for his supplies TO the vaIut
81 OF one ird amount OF goods which he IS about e

1.-The value Of 1900 dolls. On examination, thel
prove to be as cheap as be procured in the Siay

raising money for one third of the annual amour

Thus is demonstrated the good effects wnic
would arise to the people, should our government
protect manufactures and the productions OF th
