TO THE EDITORS OF yyyc r,.oUJRER

Gentlemen: Your friends have great reason to be
obliged 10 you for the liberaly with which you turn
ever your customers TO their hands For nay own part
cannot but thank you for the reiglbory disposition
you made Of Mr. Pickett and his Tea application on
Tuesday last; and the estimate of your kindness is
much enhanced by The consideration Of the feratice
agency which you have declined.
Nothing more IS wanting, am sure, 10 make the
cultivation OF tea an extensive and profitable business
IN America, than, that 4: the next adjustment of the
farm, Congress should lay duty Of FIVE or six dol
lars per pound on the imported article Nor 10 this IN
event SO unlikely, as you and your party with your
uquated notions, may probably imagine. In former
tmes il foolshly thought that Nature Ind adao,ed
peculiar soils and climates the growth OF peculiar
plants and it was considered Of the chief objects
oil civilization and commerce to exchange the excess OF
one production for that Of The other; thus it was rdi.
culousiy imagined, that The peculiar gifts bestowed by
Providence on each might be made common 10 all But
this idea is fast becoming obsolete modern discover
les IN political economy have clearly established the
fact, that nation should produce every thing for
ITSELF and that this consummaiion devouty 10 be
wished for is 10 be Outlined simply by laying suf-
tent duty upon the importation OF the foreign product
Moreover, has been discovered by these as;ute lori
clans, somewhat believe 10 their own astnnshment
that nothing tends much TO lessen the cost of an ar

duct.on.
to unsophstica:sd ears-bu it my solemn con vciion
oil the soundne.s OF this modern political axiom that
induces me TO expect, that the contemplated duty Of
ave or SIX dollars tea, would have such happy ef
iect upon the SOL and climate of the United States
to enable Us to afford the article even cheaper than The
Chinese themselves Under these considerations who
can coao the readiness of every farmer and
