MR. BULL ENLARGING HIS BUSINESS.
Mr. John Bull, having lately been obliged to incur an enormous outlay in consequence of the necessity of making the vast repairs and alterations requisite for the defence and security of his Extensive Premises, is sensible that his object of reimbursing himself will be most speedily and certainly effected by an unlimited expansion of his gigantic Business, in all its numerous and important branches. He has accordingly come to the determination of devoting his whole energies to the prosecution of Trade, in defiance of all obstacles, and irrespectively of every other consideration. For the thorough accomplishment of this grand design, he is fully resolved to make the most tremendous sacrifices, at an immediate loss, which would be ruinous under ordinary circumstances. Accordingly it is his intention to adopt a system which will virtually be one of
ENTIRELY FREE IMPORTS,
regardless of reciprocity. He has also made up his mind to run every risk which may be involved in allowing the
Unlimited Exportation of Coal
and everything else, in pursuance of an agreement in to which he has entered with his Majesty the Emperor of the French, which will also involve the unrestricted
ADMISSION OF FOREIGN WINE,
subject only to a slight duty for purposes of revenue, which will most likely be ultimately altogether repealed. By the same arrangement all French manufactures, Silks, Gloves, Works of Ornament and Luxury, will be taken on the same advantageous terms. To provide for the temporary deficiency which may be apprehended as the immediate consequence of a bold Commercial Policy, Mr. Bull is fully prepared to submit to pay the awful penalty of a galling, oppressive, and inquisitorial Income-Tax amounting to the amazing, awful, and portentous figure of
TENPENCE IN THE POUND!
By the proof which he has thus afforded of his decided resolution to do Business on the largest and most liberal scale, Mr. Bull hopes to secure the immensely increased custom of his European Patrons, and all Consumers in the other quarters of the Globe.
J.B. Begs to state, that he has now nearly completed the Insurance of his Premises, which, beside the regular Police, are guarded by a numerous and effective force, consisting of his Young Men, by whose assistance he trusts to be enabled to repel attack as well as to defy competition.
