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.
