ufactures the leading feature of your paper
think the time is fast approaching when We
! might do much to assist the re-establishment OF
Irish manufactures 10y encouraging our people
to use homemade in preference to Englisl-made
goods. am disposed to believe that in regard
to articles not at present manufactured to any
extent at home. might use the products of
American factories. This would tend to act as
indirect protection to Irish manufactures, as it
