It appears that the obstacles opposed to the expor tation of Cob aiLil produce, added to its forced accts. mulation in the market from the conquered colonies, have been the principal causes of its depreciation; while the Planter has remained'subject to a monopoly in ftVour of British produce and navigation, his exclu-, sive possession of the home. market has been interfered with ; and, while the British consumption has been increasing, the efforts he has made to meet , it. have . turned entirely to his own disadvantage. . ~ • • It appears that the Planter cannot so withdraw his capital, dmiinish the extent, or change the *object of his cultivation, as to prc.rc ore fur hinuelf any adequate .
