why we so pertinacously adhere to sucb a svstau

reason OF treaty stpulaons, the importation of un

as more profitable plan of manufacturing sound and

trang the folly OF sending away for the purchase of
an inferior article of foreign manufacture such enor-
nous sums OF money, much wanted here for so
many important purposes To me it seems difficult
to conceive n more suicidal policy. am aware of
the objections formerly urged with success against
the policy which advocate, viz. that the egalized
manufacture of spirits these islands would demor-
alize the natives, and so forth have never advo-
Gated OF the unrestrained use of spirits among
the natives, and L discaim all intention of
doing so now; but ask those who still oppose the
plan advocate, on the ground above alluded to-

here from abuse, by proper excise regulations and
