But TO return 10 the system of stocking
knitting verify believe, Mr. Printer, that
# all the idle women in town. and N coun-
try, in steamboats,. iow-boats. and canal
boats, were Immediately 70 commence the
knitting Of stockings, before seven months
The balance ofrada would be in cur favor ;
at present ii is sadly the reverse; bills on
London - per cent. above pa:. Now |
think the suspension OF stocking knitting ics
deep at the root oft this evil. In the cool
old federal times, when Washington was
President, his lady was not too proud 70
knit stockings for the general. Then, if |
remember right, we had only two hosiery
stores in New York, one kept by Mr. Wins
low, No. Wall street, and one by Gibson,
hosior, shaver, and hair dresser, Maiden
Lane. Now look at this picture and at that,
here we have upward of 1000 stocking
shops, in which. by moderate calculation,
three hundred thousand pairs of stockings
are sold, on an average, every week III the
year. Now, Mr. Printer, is not this same
stocking concern sufficient Of itself 10 kick
both the beam and the balance Of trade in
our faces, and TO counterfeit the whole eX-
poriation of rice, snuff, and tobacco and
every other product of that hot headed
cline ! In the unsophisticated times Of
federalism, Washington and Adams, the
balance of trade was in our favor bills on
London could then be bought at 8 pei
cent. below par, making a broad difference
Of so per cent, between the federal and dc
mocratic rcigns. Then we sent our flou
, 10 Europe by the hundred thousand barrels
per annum; now we beg from the hungr,
lIessians bushel of wheat, or a chaldror
Of rye.
When Washington was President, il
1894, he told Congress that the best way L
r preserve peace, was TO be always prepares
for war. Acting on this sound policy, he
, Adams, and the federal Congress, had pro
f cured a few frigates and sloops Of war; il
: one of them, Commodore Truxton, IN th
West Indies, and Decatur al Ts'r~i >,

, build and sail ships equal 10 any, but II
- fighting them she was second 10 none. Tn

" would be cheaper, safer, and more casil
~ protected by few gun boats, than they co
by dozen of frigates, and sixteen seventy
