What they supply, however, would quickly and inevitably compose a stock which commerce could not easily dispose of, if from our own shores the raw material and that alone were to be shipped. And thus the necessity exists lor the protection and encouragement here at our own doors of the third of those great interests, whose triple alliance shall confirm and establish each other, and can alone perfect our self relying strength. For no nation is independent whose essential wants are unsup})lied at... home. Nor has the lesson of the past been learned, if we are not yet convinced that tlie people who only raise but do not make, are in no condition to deal on equal grounds with foreign industry. If the physical strength of our nation should be expended on the soil, not only would the accessible markets abroad be overstocked, but the muscle and sinew of our men would be forced to wage an unequal war with the half paid labour of the world beside. Such is not the destiny which God has marked out for us, if we use his gifts aright ; for not reason alone, but nature, would condemn us, if as a people in very truth we take no thought wherewithal we shall be clothed.
