 | | The woollen manufacture has never flourished like the cotton; the bad effects of the tariff being more immediately visible in rergard to articles of manufacture whose raw material must be chiefly derived from abroad. |
 | | Next to the cotton and woollen manufactures, the most valuable are manufactures from flax and hemp; from tobacco and grain; sugar, soap, and candles, gunpowder, gold and silver coin, iron, copper and brass, hats, medicinal drugs, and shoes. |
 | | The shoe manufacture is one of the most remarkable in the States, from the suddenness and extent of its spread. |
