3. By discouraging the Importation of Commodities already manufactured either from our own Plantations or other Places, such as clay'd and refined _Sugars_, wrought _Silks_, _Calicoes_, _Brandy_, _Glass_, _Earthen Ware_, _Irish Frizes_, _Tann'd Leather_, _Gloves_, _Lace_, &c. and instead thereof we should encourage bringing in the Materials whereof they are made, to be wrought up here; this may be done by Laws, and also by being in love with our Home Manufactures, and bringing their Wearing into Fashion. [Sidenote: By freeing the Manufactures from Excises.] 4. By freeing the Manufactures from burthensome Excises, which do much discourage small Stocks, who are not able to carry on their Trades and make Provision for such great Payments; the _Distillers_ have long groaned under them, and I fear the _Glass-makers_ now will, especially those in and about _London_, who have another load by the Duty of Coals, besides the Swarms of Officers to which we lay open the Houses of those Men who deserve all the Encouragement we can give them, and ought to have things made as easie to them as may be; had the like Methods been used to our Wollen and Leather (as was intended) we might have repented it at Leisure; Taxes when laid on our Manufactures ought to be raised by such easie Methods as shall give least trouble to the Makers: Trade ought to be handled gently, and he that considers the Expences of this Nation at Five Pounds _per Head_ comes to Forty Millions, and the Lands of _England_ but to Twelve, will imagine easie Methods may be found out to raise a greater Tax annually then we pay, without loading either Land or Trade as now we do, a Scheme whereof may be easily drawn up. [Sidenote: By not exporting Materials till Manufactured.] 5. By prohibiting as much as may be the Exportation of things to the Plantations fit to be manufactured there till they are first done here, thus 'tvvas better _Shooes_ vvere Transported to the Plantations than _Leather_, so things made of _Iron_, than _Iron_ it self, this vvould employ our People, and add to the value of vvhat vve ship out. [Sidenote: By securing the Foreign Trade.] [Sidenote: Counrts of Merchants.]
