Of the Government, intended 10 project The many,
so AS 10 make il enuIe 70 the benefit OF the few,

gress.
"rhe iron manufac urers low say mat lhey
cannot afford, with The present duty Of 50 per
cent. To uTnish iron for less Than S55 10 sou per

"AssumiDs that The average weight OF iron,
used by the roads new progressing, 10 be 81 lbs.
