And this every farmer knows, for all manufacture 
their wool rather than sell it, though they mighl 
buy coarse cloths relatively cheaper from the Bri¬ 
tish merchant, than line ones, because the native 
wool of England, which serves to make such clotliSj, 
comes 35 per cent, cheaper to the manufacturer 
than the Spanish wool, and w^ool of the description 
which answers for such cloths is 50 per cent, cheap¬ 
er in England than in America. Yet, even suck 
cloth, we find a profit in manufacturing for our¬ 
selves,, How much greater then would the profit 
be, upon the working of fine W’ool, where the labor 
would be but little advanced, and the value more 
than double. Let any man make this simple expe¬ 
riment; let him sort his wool with attention, ^nd 
pick out that only which will make the finest eloth 
to be made from our wool; let it be carded, spui^ 
and wove by the same persons, and at the same rate 
that his coarse wool Is fabricated. He will find, 
that one will give him cloth worth about lOf, our; 
money, or 20/. if it was the breadth of English 
cloth, w^hile the other will give him cloth only of 
6/6, at the same expense, and demand more wool. 
If then, cloth at 6/6 per yard pays him 2/6 for his 
wool, cloth of 10/ must pay him 7/6 ; but if, in¬ 
stead ©f the wool of our sheep, he has Spanish 
sheep, not the sorted only, but the whole fleece 
will be so much finer than even his sorted wool 
from a common flock, that with exactly the same 
labor that he has expended upon his eloth of 6/6 
the yard{yard wide cloth,) he will have cloth worth
