imports that might purchase the products Of Amer

from the first Ia an inferior rank upon The hi n
seas. II has cut down the sales Of American mann
lectures ut home aud abroad, and depleted the re-
turns Of American agriculture, An industry followed
by half our people.
IT costs the people i've times more Than II produces
to the treasury, Ohstrucis the process Of production,
aud wastes the fruits OI labor, II promotes fraud,
fosters smuggling, rnTi, hes dishonest Officials, and
BANKRUPT, honest merchants. We demani that all
