ABSTRACT
When a traveller arrives in France, arid there spends 2000 dollars, it must not be supposed that the whole sum is clear profit to France. A stranger, that comes into a country to settle there, and brings his fortune along with him, is a substantial acquisition to the nation. The French emigrants introduced amongst the making of broadcloths, baizes and lighter woollens, of caps, of stockings wove in the frame, of hats, of beaver and felt, as well as dyeing in all its branches. Some refugees of that nation established themselves in trade, and retailed the products of their industrious countrymen. This emigration of industry, capital, and local attachment, is no less a dead and total loss to the country thus abandoned, than it is a clear gain to the, country affording an asylum. The public sights and exhibitions, which are pays for seeing, are expenses already incurred by the nation, which they nowise aggravates by their presence.
