The Associatoi-s bound themselves to each other "by the sacred ties of honour and reputation, neither to import or puichase any article then taxed, or which should thereafter be taxed by Parliament, for the purpose of revenue; but these were not its only provisions, it contained an agreement not to ...import or use, as unneces- sary superfluities, a variety of articles of English growth and manufacture, the exclusion of which gave a shock to British trade.^: The combined action of the colonies, in means like these, could but be felt: the commercial relations of the two coun- tries were too intimate — tiieir mutual dependence too com- plete, nrt to be affected. Parliament was once more forced to retrace its steps, but experience of its error enlightened not their rule of action; a repeal was made of all the duties but one — that on tea being retained as a declaration of the supremacy of Parliament, an avowal deemed stronger than words of her right to that power, whose further exercise for commercial reasons she declined.
