"Lay up your stores, and take your silks and fine things and exchange them
for grain and such things as you need and the time will come when we will be
obliged to depend upon our own resources.; for the time is not far distant
when the curtain will be dropped between us and the United States. When that
time comes, brethren and sisters, you will wish you had commenced sooner to
make your own clothing. I tell you God requires us to go into home
manufacture; and prolong it as much as you like, you have got to do it."
