What an invaluable advantage to our
manufacturers, if they shall be allowed to
draw freely on the immense forests of these
Provinces The more plentiful is lumber,
the less will be the cost of building their
manufactures, and of building the dwell
ings of their laborers. Besides, there are
many manufactures, into which lumber
enters more or less largely; and not few
into which scarcely anything but lumber
does enter.
There is another way, in which the
Treaty will help our manufacturers. The
proceeds Of the sales in our country of
the natural productions of these Provinces
will be chiefly expended in our country !:
and such expenditures will be quite as
much to the benefit of our manufacturers,
as Of our merchants.
spoke of the prospective beneficial in
fluence of the Treaty upon our manufac-
lures. referred not only to the vast ter
ritory, and to the rapidly increasing pop
uIation Of the British North American
Provinces. There was still more inn
portant reference, III my mind. Ii is an
adage, that revolutions do not go back
ward. The exchange between this coun-
try and the British North American Prov
lnces III natural productions, once made
free, will remain free. And not only will
the revolution never 90 backward, but it
will go forward. Free exchange in natu-
raj productions will, as have already in
timdted, beget free exchange in manufac-
lures and merchandise. A trade half free
will soon ripen into trade all free. Half
an acquaintance with our Provincial neigh
bors will be impatient for the other half
| will close my too long letter. For
several years, our British neighbors have
been rendering us free trade in the pro-
auctions of nature. But we have requited
their great libcrahty with great illiberality
Protesting to be the most progressive of
all nations, we have, in this instance, chung,
with the most obstinate conservatism, to a
miserable old order of things. | wonder
that the patience of our British neighbors
has not long ago been exhausted. Let us
tax this patience no longer. Let us rise
into an attitude worthy Of the enlightened
age, in which we live. Let us say to the
British Provinces, that we are ready for
free trade with them, and with Great Brit
ain too, and with the whole world too -
and not only in the productions of nature,
but in the productions of art also. Let the
high and honorable position of CONNER
cial America be, that she shrinks not from
competition with any nation, but courts
the competition of every nation.
Very respectfully, yours,
