Thus IT was that Mr.. &. demonstrated that the en-
couragement of manufactures necessary to the
security of the country;-hey being necessary TO pre-
vent the ailure of the wealth and resources of the
naton''-its wealth and resources being ndispensa-
Die to It's FINANCES and eurrency"-and these being
Indispensable as "means obedience"
"When our manufactures grown a certain pcr@
lection, as they will be, under The c RE

evils. The farmer tciH find MARKET for his
surplus produce; and ,rhot is almost Of equal

Mr.. G. then adds fresh colors his picture of the
evils attendant upon war, and thus concludes:

lie then recurs to the experience of the war and
to the deep sense which then prevailed Df the i'm
porance of the existence of manufactures among
us so deep was il, that the incidental effect of the
restrictive measures and the war, i'm calling them in
to existence, was deemed compensation for oil our
losses;
"rhe restrictive and the war; though not in

MY the country for all its losses So high was this tone
OF feeling when the want Of these establishments was
practically felt, that he remembered, during war
when some question agitated respecting The
lion OF foreign goods that then opposed on the
ground OF innng our manufactures He then said that
war alone furnished SUFFICIENT stimulus, and perhaps
much, as IL would make their growth unnaturay rapid
but That on the RETURN OF peace would then be tae
show our affection for them"
This affection, let it be noted had for its object
not tie capital already invested in manufactures but
the manufactures themselves as things necessary TO
the security independence, prosper toedLf finances
currency, &C., &c. of the nation. And how was this
affection TO be shown? How but in the mode
here so Zeaiousiy advocated--by promoting +" their
growth" by means of the stimulus of stimulating
duties? Duties imposed not for revenue, but as
Z" stimulus"
| MIR. G. then proceeds TO consider the objections

! Other objections are then reviewed and refued-
among them, the following:
at has been objected to this BILL that it will injtsre on,
marine, and consequently impair our naval Strength.
How lar II is fairly liable to this charge, he pre-
pared to say He hoped and believed it would not at
least To any alarming extent, have that effect Immediate

would be highly beneficial TO The trade

Other objections Of political character were made TO

fact il has been stated that the manufacturing districts in

Finally, speaking of the objection, that manufac-
lures "produced greater dependence the part
of the employed" he says
"t is certainly evil aud he regretted; but he did
not think il decisive objection TO THE SYSTEM; es-
