« Agriculture, and Commerce as its Handmaid » by Pierre Gervais

“…This opposition was centered on contradictory assessments of the benefits and risks of merchant development, which can be observed easily in two important texts, the Notes on the State of Virginia and the Report on Manufactures. While Jefferson considered that the correlated growths of merchant power and market activity were inherently dangerous, and should be strictly controlled, Hamilton took a much more positive view of the same phenomena.A second part relates these two positions to an as yet small sample of patriotic toasts given during the year 1793 and printed in Philadelphia and Boston papers. …”
