5010. MANUFACTURES, Great Britian and America.—
Radically hostile to our
navigation and commerce, and fearing its
rivalry, Great Britain will completely crush
it, and force us to resort to agriculture, not
aware that we shall resort to manufactures
also, and render her conquests over our navigation
and commerce useless, at least, if not
injurious, to herself in the end, and perhaps
salutary to us, as removing out of our way
the chief causes and provocations to war.—
