duties, but IS to what articles could under system OF
free trade be applied by the United States lgave as
my opinion, that in progress OF time, when the rich
lands of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and other
northwestern States are brought into cultivation, hemp,
flax and sleeps wool will become important items OF
our export trade. I knew that are now importing
hemp, knew also that there is little or no duty on hemp

high duty, but item of great consumption in Eng

his suggestion that after the passage OF the Canada corn

Their wheat coming to England through Canada pays

But that the editor Of the Herald has said that
wheat is but minor article IN the exportable agricultural

to be apprehended from the American Abolition Society
