But I do not think this Work can be presently brought about; ’twill not be easy to persuade the Landlords nor Tenants of _Ireland_, to leave off the way of Husbandry they are now upon, and to turn their Lands to Hemp and Flax, till they see some Encouragement; but when they shall find this new Product bring ready Money, they will soon Set upon it; if the Manufacturer receive ready Money for his Cioath, he will be able to pay ready Money both for Materials and Labour, which Circulation will Encourage both the Farmer and the Manufacturer; and by Degrees, Hemp and Flax-seed will be Sowed in all Lands proper for them, and the Owners will soon see the Difference, between raising Commodities, for which there is a present Demand, and such, as lye on their Hands: For though _Ireland_ may in time produce greater Quantities of Hemp and Flax than they can work up, yet not more than _England_ may Take off, without Prejudice to any Foreign Trade we drive; and their Number of Hands will in all Probability be encreased by the _French_ Refugees, who will be glad to go thither, where they may be employed in a Manufacture, so natural to them as Linnen is; which will also give a fatal Blow to the Kingdom of _France_ in that Manufacture. The People in the North of _Ireland_, make good Cloth, sell it at Reasonable Rates, and would every Year make much more, had they Vent for it; and it is to be observed, that Money is not plentier, nor Rents paid better, in any Part of _Ireland_, than there. The Rents of _Ireland_ grow due at two Times of Payment, _viz._ 1st of _May_, and 1st of _November_, the first becomes payable whilst their Cattle are lean, which puts the Tenants under great Straits, and forces them to sell very low, if they are prest for Money; but the Second Payment is more easily made, their fat Cattle being sold, and their Harvest over: This is the State of that part of the Kingdom that depends on Feeding and Tillage; but where the Linnen Manufacture is, the Tenants are much easier; they spin in the Winter Nights, and at other leisure times, which being wove into Cloth, and whiten’d early in the Year, provides Money for their first Payment, without selling their Cattle before fatted for a Market. It is necessary for a new Undertaking, to be attended with some lucky Accident; the Linnen Manufacture can never be begun in _Ireland_ at a more seasonable Time than now, being imported hither Custom-Free, when all the other Linnens of _Europe_ pay considerable Duties.
