AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.

The subject of manufactures has grown to
such magnitude. both as regards the vast a.
mount of capital employed and the great and
diversified interests involved, and moreover as
it is soon to come before Congress as a ques-
ton of national policy, some little considera-
ton of the subject may not be inappropriate.
So early as 1899, we find the British Par
Lament engaged in legislative acts to cripple
the infant growth of the manufacturing inter
ests in this country by interdicting the ship
ment of woolen yarn or wooden manufactures
from their Colonies to any place whatever and
in l719 the House of Commons declared that
"the erecting manufactures in the Colonies
tended to lessen their dependence on Great
Britain" In consequence Of reports made 10
the mother country of the aptitude of the Col
onies, not only for carrying on trade, but also
for setting up manufactures prejudicial to like
interests in Great Britain, a report was made
by the Board of Trade, in obedience to an or
der from the House of Commons, which states
that In New England, New York, and Penn.
sylvanIa, woollen and linnen cloths were man.
utactured to some extent, for the domestic use.
1t was also reported that flax and hemp were
produced in the Colonies to considerable ex.
tent which were manufactured into a coarse

ported from abroad; yet from the high price of
labor here, the manufacture of linen cannot be
carried on at less than 20 per cent, and that
of woolen at so per cent. less than the Eng
lsh fabaics. Massachusetts at that time man
ufactured coarse cloth from their flax and
wool, but foreign fabrics could be purchased
at cheaper rate than their domestic produc-
tons. A few hat makers worked at their
trades in the towns of that State, but none of
the articles were exported. Leather was also {
wrought by the people of this Porvince, yet it

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Messrs. Mack & Lambert propose 10 give
course, consisting of three lectures on the a.
bo,,e sc;ences at the town room, tie first TO

cos will be illustrated by the use Of .Manikin
or model of man after the skin and cellular
substances have beeu removed consisting Of
100 pieces, reconstructed as TO admit Of be-
ing separately exhibited, and 10 disclose the
internal organs as they are in living man.
We can only say that attendance upon these
lectures as a source of highly useful informa-
ton is recommended by gentlemen of great re-
speciibitiiy, who have listened to Them. The
n epikin is said TO be an unique ard wonderful
specimen Of art, by the aid of which the anat
omy and the various organs ofthe human body
in all their relations, are exhibited with an &C.
curacy and plainness highly satisfactory TO a
non-professonal audience. We are fully as
sured there is ne humouggery. in the case, but
that the trouble and expense of attendance will
be fully compensated to all, and especially to
those whose lot il is, or may be to attend upon
the sick By the practicable knowledge which
NAV thus be obtained. Ladies are assured
that they can be present with great propriety
and profit.

was deemed inferior to that which was impor'
ted from Great Britain.
The report farther states that all the iron
works within its bounds did not supply one
twentieth part of the amount required for its
consumption, nor did New York at that time
exhibit a degree of manufacturing enterprise
which was deemed detrimental Z; that of New
Jersey was no more formidable in this respect,
as its traffic consisted of necessary articles,
shipped from Pennsylvania and New York.
At this period an act was passed by Parlia-
ment declaring upon information that hats
were made to considerable extent in the Colo.
MES, and that none of that article should be
exported. The same act limited the number
of apprentices who were to be engaged in this
business, and prohibited the expectation of hats
from one Colony TO another. Other manu-
features were regarded with equal jealousy.
Such is a brief outline of the condition of
American manufactures while the United
States were Colonies the parent government,
and such the policy of Great Britain in 1882.
From that time down to the period when this
country was separated from the British Crown,
the policy of the mother country was in its re-
strictive character uniform and steady. All
the ingenuity which her statesmen could com
mand was brought into exercise, to embarrass
The onward progress of American industry,
whenever and wherever it promised to interfere
with British cupidity.
