She can raise sheep enough to supply the wollen
manufacturers with all they require TO make
cloth for home consumption. For furniture she
has wood for all these purposes. In New York
black walnut is higher than mahogany, In The

South, for there they would find employment an I,

forever from her. and spent in the North. Lei
me ask again, where the free states are to derive
their revenue from except from direct taxation.
The North cannot import more than they ex'

purchase more than he can pay tor with his pro-
duce We will therefore state that the North IN
round numbers export forty millions She can
