The high duties upon foreign manufactures, and upon all goods imported by alien merchants, all tend to the same purpose.

对外国制造品和外国商人进口的所有商品征收高额关税， 都是出于同样的目的。

The gains of alien merchants were looked upon more unfavourably than those of English merchants. It was natural, therefore, that those of the former should be taxed more heavily than those of the latter.

与英国商人相比，外国商人的收益受到更不利的看待。因此，前者的税收自然比后者重。
