              <text>&lt;p align="left"&gt;FREE LABOR PRODUCTS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The disposition to discourage slave labor is evidently gaining ground amongst those who deem slavery a SIN, and consequently, feel that Christians ought in no way or manner to participate in the abomination. A circumstance of the kind came under the notice of the writer during the last week. A respectable shoe manufacturer called at my manufactory, and enquired if I had any&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;Philadelphia&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Sole Leather for sale. I replied, I had none of the particular kind he named on hand, but had a plenty of Baltimore Leather. Oh, says he, that wont answer; I have enough of that myself, but my workmen wont use it. They are such thorough-going&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;abolitionists&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;that they will not work on leather which they know comes from a slave State, and which, of course, they suppose has been made by the labor of slaves!! This was a novel idea to me. I had heard of free labor&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Sugar and Cotton and Rice, but had never heard the term applied to the article in question. I cannot but admire&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;the spirit&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;of those men who thus decline in their humble way to encourage compulsory and unpaid labor; they undoubtedly act consistently with their principles, and if not ranked in fame with Wilberforce and Clarkson and Thompson, are yet sincere and genuine philanthropists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A DEALER.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
