A single printed sheet titled "Home Industry, the most direct road to National Prosperity," consisting of a patriotic poem urging the promotion of domestic manufactures. It encourages raising sheep and wool, growing flax and hemp, spinning, weaving and dyeing, and urges women to wear American homespun rather than foreign fashions. It also condemns idleness and charity that encourages sloth, and ties industry to liberty and independence. The text shown is the verse only; the proposals for a Boston manufacture named in the catalog title do not appear in it.
