Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

From a Boston Paper.

Look about ye !!!

WHAT is become of our MONEY? A few months ago we had plenty to pay our taxes, and to answer other necessary purposes,--I believe there was as much among us as ever there was, and it was fast diffusing itself: there was enough; it is gone, and I will tell you where: it is gone to Britain to buy goods, and goods of those kinds, which are not only useless, but ruinous to any people. It is computed that not less than eight hundred thousand pounds have gone in a few years past to England.

Powder and ball, muskets and bayonets, could not conquer us, but we are to be subdued by British gewgaws: rather than fail they will come at first cost.

Our Money will be all drawn away, and then we can do nothing; all must stop.--This is a scheme laid by Britons now for our overthrow. Can those who have any concern in sending or bringing those goods, be friends to America? No, they are the worst of men? mean, underhanded, skulking wretches. They could not hurt us (as a Nation) half so much, were they to take their arms and fight against us, or even were they to set fire to our mansions. We can deal with open enemies, but now like worms, they are eating through the bottom of the vessel and down we must go without seeing our destruction. Rouse, Bostonians, avert your ruin, the means are in your own power.--British goods are not more proof against fire or water, than the Tea was in 1774. The States are not to be ruined, our independence is not to be defeated by a tribe of schemers and their paltry goods.--In a word, my countrymen awake to your danger, there is no half way; break up this trade root and branch, or it will break you up effectually.

My Brethren, turn your attention to our own country. Have we not manufacturers sufficient among ourselves? If we have not as yet, was encouragement given, we should abound with them. Our yeomanry clothe themselves with the produce of this state, and are they not as warm and serviceably clothed as those wearers of British manufactures?
