A second letter from a hawker and pedlar in the country, to a Member of Parliament at London. In which The true yearly Revenue and Expence of a Nation is fairly Stated. The Encouragement of Frugality is recommended as the best Method to Increase the Nation's Revenue, and Diminish its Expence. All Monopolies proved to be an Encouragement to Idleness and Luxury. Every Restriction upon Trade a Step to Monopoly. The extravagant Profits taken formerly by the Toy-Shops. Our Improvement in that Trade owing to the Hawkers and Pedlars. Confederacies easily formed when any Branch of Trade is confined to a Particular Set of Men. An Account of the Yearly Expence of a London Shop-Keeper.
