5004. MANUFACTURES, Encouragement of.—

The present aspect of our foreign
relations has encouraged here a general spirit
of encouragement to domestic manufactures.
The Merino breed of sheep is well established
with us, and fine samples of cloth are sent to
us from the North. Considerable manufactures
of cotton are also commencing. Philadelphia,
particularly, is becoming more manufacturing
than commercial.—
To Mr. Maury. Washington ed. v, 214.
