Jewish Naturalisation Bill debate 1750s
“For the origin of trade in all countries is manufacturing; but none of the Jews, even of the poorest sort, are ever bred to be manufacturers or mechanics, or indeed to any laborious employment; therefore they can never be the beginners of trade in any country. No instance can be given, Sir, of the Jews having been the beginners of trade in any country, but many to the contrary. In Poland there have been multitudes of Jews for many ages, yet no man will say that Poland is a trading country. The truth is, in those countries where there is little or no trade, they deal mostly in usury, or in collecting the taxes: and where a trade has been already established, some indeed of the richer sort may engage in foreign currency, but the poorer deal only as brokers, peddlers, or hawkers”
but a Jew, though naturalized, may be here today and gone tomorrow”
