PLEASE HELP "So vast is the Territory of North America, that it will require many Ages to settle it fully; and till it is fully settled, Labor will never be cheap here, where no Man continues long a Laborer for others but gets a [farm] of his own. No Man continues long [an apprentice] to a Trade, but goes among those new Settlers and sets up for himself, &c. ...

"The Danger, therefore, of these Colonies interfering with their Mother Country in Trades that depend on Labor, Manufactures, &c. is too remote to require the Attention of Great Britain.

"But in Proportion to the Increase of the Colonies, a vast Demand is growing for British Manufactures, a glorious Market wholly in the Power of Britain, in which Foreigners cannot interfere, which will increase in a short Time even beyond her Power of supplying, tho' her whole Trade should be to her Colonies. Therefore Britain should not too much restrain Manufactures in her Colonies. A wise and good Mother will not do it. To distress is to weaken, and weakening the Children weakens the whole Family."
