But I forget: "Pitch and Tar, and Indigo are also Raw-Materials of very great Consequence: And they are imported from _North-America_, but not from _Russia_." True: Pitch and Tar, if imported from _Russia_, would have paid an high Duty; but when brought from _America_, they receive a very large Bounty. And as to Indigo, had it not been for the many Hundred Thousands of Pounds Sterling, which _Great-Britain_ has granted in Bounties and Premiums to promote the Culture of this Article in the _Carolinas_ and _Virginia_, [a tenth Part of which Sum would have served for the Cultivation of a better Sort on the Coast of _Africa_] I say, had it not been for this continual Fostering, and expensive Nursing, probably not an Ounce of it would have been raised in _North-America_. And even as it is, the Indigo of _Carolina_, &c. is, generally speaking, of a Quality much inferior to that, which comes from other Countries. So much therefore as to Raw-Materials,--and let this suffice in respect to the grateful Returns of our Colonies towards us, for making so many impolitic restraining Laws against ourselves, and for granting them so many Monopolies, and such extensive Bounties. The next Head of Enquiry is, what _taxable Objects_ do we receive from _North-America_, if compared with the Taxables of other Countries? Mr. BURKE asserts Page 97, 2d Edit. "That if _America_ gives us _taxable Objects_, on which we lay our Duties here, and gives us at the same Time, a Surplus by a foreign Sale of her Commodities to pay the Duties on these Objects which we tax at Home, _she has performed her Part to the_ British _Revenue_."
