236．制造业的发展（1789~1800年）
As soon as the new government with its wide powers was established, manufacturing started into life. Old mills were set to work. While the Revolution had been going on in America, great improvements in the spinning of yarn and the weaving of cloth had been made in England. Parliament made laws to prevent the export from England of machinery or patterns of machinery. But it could not prevent Englishmen from coming to America. Among the recent immigrants to the United States was Samuel Slater. He brought no patterns with him. But he was familiar with the new methods of spinning. He soon built spinning machinery. New cotton mills were now set up in several places. But it was some time before the new weaving machinery was introduced into America.
随着新政府及其强大政权的建立，制造业迅速得到发展，人们重新开动原有的作坊。在美国进行革命战争的同时，英国人在纺纱和织布方面取得了巨大进展。英国议会通过法律禁止英国出口机器和机器零件，但是，法律不能禁止英国人来到美国，在当时移民到美国的人当中就有萨缪尔·斯莱特，他随身带着一些机器零件，此人熟悉纺织的新方法，很快他就造出了纺织机。此时，人们在一些地方建造新的棉花作坊。但是，新式织布机是在此一段时间以后才被引进到美国。
