by means Of I)cal mannfa cturcs, that market

The only article Of any value which Eng

p America grew only minor instead of the

want OF subssivieacy TO her interest but up
OF Aalsrican cotton our now principal manu-.
flctufe depends cannot foreqo its use,
nor dare we tax IL for our own sake The
fooe Of supplanling America by growing
cotton in The East Indies, is scarcely worthy
