Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on American Silk: And the Best Means of Rendering It a Source of Individual and National Wealth It is also to he remarked that even if sewing silk could be made in this country, not only equal, but superior, to that which is imported from Europe, it would still be a losing business, because it is a well known fact, that the refuse of the cocoons, those which are called imperfect, and whichcannot be employed to any other purpose, are alone in other countries put to that use, while the silk of the good cocoons, when properly prepared, commands a high price even as a raw material England and France purchase it in large quantities, particularly from China and Italy. France raises it at home, but by no means sufficiently for the consumption of her manufactures. Her annual impor tation of that article in the raw state is immense. Her exportation of manufactured silk, according to a sensible American writer, (mr Vernon of Rhode Island), is not less than five hundred millions of dollars; besides, says the same author, a much larger saving to the French nation from the quantity that she consumes at homet.
