Excerpt from Peter Martyr Vermigli: Leben Und Ausgew???hlte Schriften; Nach Handschriftlichen Und Gleichzeitigen Quellen All this has been reversed; by inconsiderate legislation, and by a. Desire to imitate British industry, without that old precaution of considering that circumstances alter cases, trade and manufactures have been looked upon with favor, and agriculture neglected. With a fine climate of every diversity, and abundance of rich soil, Food is nearly as dear as in Great Britain, the price of grain fluctuating more than in many other countries. Manufactures protected by a thirty per cent. Duty, giving a profit less than common Interest, (few of the New England mills giving over seven per cent., others much less) and their goods actually exported at prices under those of Great Britain, being made quite in excess of home production, making the farmer at home pay the losses on an unprofitable foreign trade converting Iron fit for machinery, at a great expense, into common Pig-metal inverting the usual order of things and becoming mer chants and manufacturers, instead of being the producers of food and raw material for the whole world. N ow this is precisely what we ought not to imitate. We should not be induced, by any amount of rhetoric, to divert our attention from the natural order of progress, - of Agriculture, Manufactures; and the Arts.
