213. AGRICULTURE, Discrimination against.—
Shall we permit the greatest part
of the produce of our fields to rot on our
hands, or lose half its value by subjecting
it to high insurance, [in the event of war,]
merely that our shipbuilders may have
brisker employ? Shall the whole mass of
our farmers be sacrificed to the class of shipwrights?—
Official Opinion. Washington ed. vii, 625.
