The effect of trade and commerce with respect to
most civilized states is
to send out of their countries what the poor, that is, the
great mass of mankind, have occasion for, and to bring
back, in return, what is consumed almost wholly bya small part of those
nations, viz. the rich. Hence it
appears that the greater part of manufactures, trade
and commerce is highly injurious to the poor as being
the chief means of depriving them of the necessaries of
life.
