II Is net our purpose to dwell upon The
theory Of enlistment Of servants, the policy
Of bringing hither the class Of men consti

paid BY stock from their trading posts; said
servants always kept in debt to the Com

after the expiration Of their term Of service
Tho uselessness Of such class TO a COM

strOus and arrogant monopoly the only

depreeatiOns should be deep and heartfelt,

IN this view alone, the citizens of Washing
