not take it.
see it is insisted in some softhe leading presses
in the interest Of those opposed us, that our Tariff
prevents the sending Of our bread stuRs TO England
There is nothing absurd, nothing more entirely
destitute Of all truth and fact assert it as my
opinion that the Tariff were abolished tomorrow,
iyou would not sell one bushel more corn in England
than you do now. why does not England take it
now? not because she pay for it, but the laws
of England prevent the importation Of grain four
except when the price rises high in England ms TO
exceed certain rate, Gas it seldom does) and then
it comes in under low duty.
This happens sometimes, but not often. Flour,
therefore, is sent aboard TO await these occasions,
but only in small quantities You have senta good
deal OF wheat to Canada, where il is ground and be-
comes Canada -four. This gives a vent for some,
and so far it is we'll Some beef and cheese and 9TH
ser provisions go from New York to England, and
this is all we'll The more the better. But depend
upon it, that nothing Of this Kind is affected BY the
sTarif. The reason England takes no more is be-
cause Of her laws-rnd of their alteration see no
prospect-do not admit it, except when there is a
short crop in England, and then under reduced
duty. OH -." 's-.' ..'..' '. "

Mr. Brnen- Sir--your favor of the 2slh instant

men, made by Mr. Ketchum respecting the conduct
ing and results of manufacturing business, and
also importing and shipping which are entirely
correct. -.

first Packets Of New York to Liverpool, during
which time it appeared the most prominent interest
Of the country TO encourage foreign trade.
then MIXED the whilst John Crapo held the bull
by the horns But peace in Europe changed the po-
silion Of the American trade and led rejecting
10 that a change in trade absolutely nee
essary; and our government directed their attention
to the encouragement of American manufactures, by
laying very heavy duties the articles imported.
And as have thought it the interest and duty
Of every citizen go with his government, went to
England in 1924 and '25 and engaged my brother to
give up importing, and to commence manufacturing
in this country which were enabled to do with
many advantages others did not possess, as we were
acquainted WIN INC manufacturers III EHgAnu, WIN
their operations and with every description of cotton
goods then made and with business habits favorable
TO the undertaking. ''.f -..o'.'
The results Of which have been, that for the first
twenty. two years as importers, made nearly one
million of dollars; and during the last nineteen years
manufacturers with most steady attention, are
only rewarded by the results of having made more
people happy than ank other two individuals in the
United States, las we have employed from one thou
sand to tcelre hundred persons steadily during the
whole time and think am safe in say ing AT least
two hundred Of those hands now settled on good
farms, and the most independent citizens in this
country, and as many more have gone into different
branches of business their account. II is not
becoming in me to say how far we have promoted
the spiritual interest Of operatives; but this can
say, that it has been of the prominent objects

success of every undertaking depends upon Divine
blessing and that without that all our labor is in vain
Your ob't servant,
BENJAMIN MARSHALL.
p. S. Respecting the bounty from the British
government, we were allowed 3D. per yard all our
printed and stamped goods imported into this connry
during the years SOB 1912, and in consequence
frequently sold prints for less in New York than we
purchased them in Manchester The bounty on our
imports amounted to $50 81, 900 per annum. .
