of our Products, and especially those OF our Free
/ Labor while they glut our markets, bankrupt our
Merchants, depreciate our currency and famSh our
| Laborers and Artisans by pouring IN upon Us the
products of their skill and Industry, On the easy
| terms proffered them by our low and non-Protec-

| ardently advocate the true American Policy OF
counteruqiing these gross exactons of Great Brit
ain and other Nations by asystem OF direct, avow-

be necessary for the supply of our own wants and
to secure and perfect our independence. 1t will
demonstrate that the true and permanent interests
of all, but especially OF the Agricultural and Work

Product of the National Industry, will be surely
and largely enhanced thereby. In short, this work
