Then he describes that he would give up his beliefs on tariffs if he saw the effect of the factory on people. Then he interviews different persons and the effect of the factory in their lives. Then they tell him that it is better to have a functional factory than one stopped. That they would gather in the hill it was built in case it burned to ashes, and that they would talk all day about the goods it gave them and how their lives improved after it was placed over there.
