the manufacture of woolen cloths, employing I 200 perfons, and as many more who do pot directly appertain to the e(Ublifl)ment3. The capital lire ad y mvelied therein amounts to 450,000 dollars, and they are cnpatle of making, and probably do in.innf.ict ure anpyally, equal in amount to 375.000 yards of n irr -wf cr 1 25,000 yards of broad cloths Befidei this quantity made at the eftabm"nts, it is Calculated there are 500.000 yards made annually in families, and drelud at the country clpthieri (hops; part of which is regularly fold to the country ftore keepers doing iway, thu far, their former pra'lice of fupplying themfelves with Bri tifli goods ot a fimilar description. The Vilue of all the woolen cloth thus manufactured, at the LoweO eftimate, is 1,500,000 dollars, making a home market for a ftaple of our country of 900. 0C0 pounds of wool, or the produce of 4 O,O0O hVep. With regard to the whole q i ntity of woolen cloths manufaftured in Mie V.

yeirs, and be nearly fufficient to fupply the wh-le demand of the U. States. When it is Confidered that the woolen manufacture is now making a d-meflic market tot1 an important (liple of our country, equal m Vilue to 7,000,000 of dollars, that the product of its induftry, equal to 19,000 000 of dollars, is a reat gin of national wealth, in giving employment to tarioos kinds of libor, at the fume time preventing foreigner! from drawing cjreat refources from us in the file of their manufactured goods; that it produces an intereO in the country, that, und-r ali circumtiancrs mu't be an American intcrefl ; the policy of giving it ?ll necelTnv fupport, becomes obvious to every unpreju heed mi;u'. At the fame time that it i siding snd encouraging Sgricultore in Containing hr productions it is in no degree taking from Ivr the labor neceffjry to carry on her opperations. A great propor. tion of woolen manufacture is carried on by the aid of labor Paving machienery which is almoft exclu lively fuoerintended by women 8c children, ind the infirm, who would ctiiet wife be wholly deftitute of employment whereas they are n.w able to maintain themfelve?. The manual labor employed is of that clftfs who, from their previous habits and occupations in life, arc wholly unfitted fv)r agricu;tur?.l purfuits, and who. if not thus employed, would in moll inflances, be a burden on fociety ; among this defcription are tobe numbered many valuable foreigners who are daily arriving among us in needy and indigent circumftancet, Sc whofe only employment has been in the manufacturing bufinefs at home In the exchange between the different ftatcs of the manufactured goods anil of the raw materials, and i the growing wants of in my foreign articles, as dye (lulls, Sec. the commerce of our country, particularly t lie eoauSng trade, i$ equally benefitted with OIK agriculture. If the woolen manufactures do not Ian guilh for want of neceffary fupport from government at this time, rhere cannot be a doubt, but in the couif of a very few years we (hall he able to fupply the whole demand ot the U. States at 1 lowei r.ite than a fimilar manufacture can now be imported tiom abroad G. Hi it am excludes ali woolen goo.ls nor fuff r a vard to be imported except in a fintihed Rate. It is not now a qoeflton with her manufacturers who fhall fell at bighefl pn ?s, out who can manutacture cheapefl, and the competition thus produced) has enabled her to underfell all the nations in Europe. The fame encouragement to the bufinefs in this country Will produce a like competition, and enable us eventually to underfell her, even in foreign m a kets. The amount of wool n clotl i now imported into the U. States is about ; the quantity a? tins time manufactured, about 19.000,000 dollars in value. It is a bufinets fufceptible or an tucreafc of 23 or 30 per cent annually, fo that in the courfe ot five years at leaft, we may be -ih'e to clothe ourfelvea, indepetuler.t of any foreign nation, and give a new RtmoioS to agriculture which is now langoiQiing under rhe ncrrf fity of depending upon a precarious foreign market lor nofi ol bei in km taut productions."
