GEORGE 7. WENTWORTH, Esq, lawyer, took the stand,
and sad that though comparatively unacquanted with
their profession and not posted in the affairs of shoe bust
yet wherever the yeomanry the working Of the
land struck for their deserved wages he would always
sustain them He alluded to the of declar
Of American independence in IVA which the
sorable tax on certain necessary articles And the
shoemakers are likewise oppressed. While stock

The first remedy Is, to remain you are for month
hrce months necessaryand trust in Providence then
here will be fresh demand for goods, and thereby
fresh demand for help and labor and with these will
"hgher pay The second remedy is to interest the sjob
bers and shoe merchants Ia the metropolis (Boston) to
pay little more (hcy can afford ~, for their goods and
the great and glorious object gained With many good
wshes for their success the reverend gentleman finished
