Manchester goods of this description have
fallen into great discredit, and their place
has been taken by native manufacturers and
even by American goods shipped to the
east, and which are of better quality and as
cheap as the same class of Manchester Goods.

In ready made doors and window frames to
Norway, and even Great Britain's great m
dustry, the manufacture of locomotives and
machinery, has been almost transferred TO
Creuzot and to Belgium. The fact appears
to be slowly dawning upon the British mind

their labor at an artificial price is destructive
