Very great im- provements were made in the character of American manufactures. In New England INDIAN CHILD IN CRADLE. the weaving of cotton and woolen goods was be^un, in a feeble way it is true, but the foundation was laid of that great industry which has since been a constant and grow- ing source of wealth to that section. In 1790 the first census of the United States was taken, and showed the population to be 3,929,827 souls. The Indians of the northwest had been very troublesome for some ti...me. The British agents in that region incited them to hostility against the United States, and urged them to claim the Ohio as their southern and eastern boundary. They com- mitted innumerable outrages along this river and almost put a stop to the trade upon its waters by attacking and plundering the flat- boats of the emigrants and traders which were constantly descending the river. The general government resolved to put a stop to their outrages, and General Harmer was sent against them in 1790, but was defeated with great loss.
