BONDED PORTS.
Sec. Shaw Makes a Suggestion for the
Employment of American Labor
en Free Raw Material,
Concord, N. H. Reoietary Siiaw
pok before the New Hamplilm
Hoard of trade here Wednesday even.
Ing oil the subject, "A foreign Market
for American Labor." lie developed
an Ids a of bonded factories on a largt
scale, saying In part:
"Merchandise can now be produced
from ImiKirted material In bonded fac
tories. It seems to be safe end wise
to carry the logic of this provision one
step further and have bonded or free
port s.
"Without attempting a lengthy elab
oration of the Idea I content myself
with throwing out the Fucuestions.
Suppose Instead of n bonded factory
we bond a well defined section of
land containing several thousaud
seres. Within this bonded territory
all kind of fncto'.lt-s could be en
tered without the payment of duty.
This port fchould of course contain
no dwellings. I would allow free coal
and every other element of manufac
ture, except Inbor, to be entered fre
"In other words, this tree port should
be a great consumer of American la
bor, the product of which under the
most encouraging conditions, should
be for export and for exjiort only. 11
It was removed from the port tot
the purpose of domestic consumption
It should pay the same duty !U it im
ported from abroad.
