Them spectfuy submit for your consideration our
views the prhsry Cause Of the before mentioned
evil, and the nnuucf its operation They as fol-
lows
Chiefly the Importation of foreign goods. That the
people these have been Uuwtted by foreigners
rarcaAc Of their manufacturers; that we have
fact paid them than il We had made tIen our
selves that manufacturers and mechanics living III for
rcn countries cannot rccIrrocac with US the laws O
their espccyc Governments permitting them thai
foreign trade udcr these circumstances Is national
loss; that II haE created al avelage balance AGAINST
this country of mauy millions year that the quantity
Of European goods purchased for ose million OF dollars
would employ tive thousand -four hundred aud seventy

Five thousand four hundred aad hity' ilvo me
ckanics at 81 10 each per day eoV9eo
Fifteen employers at five Thousand each..- io,uuo
Rent for warehouses, Offices, lighting, hcatipg
Therefore, for every million of ha'aAce there is
against this couHy Eve thoussad four hundred and seV
enly men deprived of employment. and the money
that ought have passed through their hands INTO the
pockets Of latduid the merck: and the farmer ha,
all gone Europe.
Tha this fully for the scarcity OF work and
