but the way the protective policy always has and always
will tor the people, by giving them goods cheaper and cheaper
capital invested, skill acquired, and supply increased
Repeal the tariff check American competition get goods from
abroad formerly and these Manchester will soon put
up their prices rates and make their fortunes at
