It is strange to see what dupes may be made of mankind: its
not long since our oracles the merchants, made us believe it
was almost an unpardonable sin to buy any English goods. . .
[35 more lines concerning promotion of tea substitutes and
home manufacture of clothes] That disagreeable noise made by
the rattling of the foot wheel was accounted fine music, &
prefer'd to the music of a violin that was imported from
England since the non-importation agreement. . . [54 more
lines. Signed] I am a friend to America. A husbandman.
