Noble Williams presented a petit
ton signed by 81 mechanics, the gist
of winch was that the petitioners
were of "the opinion that by far the
greater proportion of the manufac-
tured articles now imported could be
made in this country as well, or in
some cases even better than abroad,
although we candidly admit not so
cheaply; but we hold that it is
good policy for the Government to
pay more for the manufactured art
Giles required by the various depart
ments, provided that the money is
spent in the country, thus increasing
the manufacturing capacity of our
industrial establishments, the number
of mechanics in the country and the
taxable value of property. Your
petitioners therefore pray your hon
orable body that suitable action be
taken to restrain as far as possible
the importation by the Hawaiian
Government of such goods and arti-
Giles as can advantageously be manu-
featured in this country" The pc
