S I R,
AJM Hfi late duty which the ltgiflature of Pennsylvania has
* Jgf’ laid upon rice imported into that province, and which
is eoual to a prohibition, U a flop that will doubtless be imi-
MBR€ by the Other northern provinces, and that opon the
feme principles. The balance of trade to those provinces
has always been greatly against us, and now mull of eourfe
become much more so; it will therefore be a duty incumbent
VgKMt us, to encourage as much as poftble the railing of
fhlfc aitfcfcs among ourselves as are abfolately neceffavy;
antbl could wife ft were practicable equally to difeourage
riH koportaticri of the many fuperfluoiss ones daily brooght
so by the northward vessels. I lhali inftanceonly two, and
tfeofe are potatoes and onions; the quantities brought in,
Bid thd raft* we pay for them, are really furprHLng, and I
believe no one can doubt but they may both be raftedwithin
ourselves to great perfection. With regard to that very ne
cedfary article dour, I dare fay we mighr in a very little time
be fappHcd with it from oar back settlements, as well as
both boner; for which two articles, and bTead, we have,
•pon an average, for three years pad, paid 40001. per ann.
#od for other commodities from the northern provinces as
much more: bow the remittances made from hence for them
#iay have hurt the other necessary trade of the province let
the merchants teg. : “
I moil however, Mr. Johnston, fay, that I think it would
be bod policy ia us to lay a doty upon any article that we can
n®e rio without, until we can be supplied within ourselves,
as fee wtwle burthen of such duty would, with a conftder
able addition to k, fell upon the consumer; but I would re*
Commend a proper encouragement to persons becoming in
habitants of ©or back settlements, as w ell as to those already
fettled there, to go Upon those articles, which in time would
enable us to follow the example of the Pennsylvanians, and
|ay a prohibitory duty on their staple as they have upon
