dear imegM It Meter es a crime upon Sir Robert Pail and
span the leghleines that sack a awe has been introduced
that laLt the lest three yeses we hail been enabled to re-
ed the amount of provisions that had come
into the country the form of wheat—almost an average of
ten millions of quarters per arum, of en annual velure of
some 20 millions sterling. Now these 10 minims of wheat

apparently to these distinguished individuals that this food
kr bra brought into the country. But none of them ban
bed the manliness to sympathise with the pressing wants of
the people of *le country, nor hue say of them declared
that If this food had not some into the country,
that one-third of the population must bars con-
trued to puffer extreme pantie:a. And for a
moment admitting what they say as a nutter of fact, that
the introduction of ten millions of quarters of wheat reit
not to have been brought hither, then I put them upon the
borne of the dilemma, and wk., what must have rooms of
the people who have eaten these ten milling of quarters of
wheat? (Hear.) We are charged sometimes with enter-
%aisle( cad-blooded principles of political economy. But
these gentlemen, who rank themselves r ; rotectlonate, for-
get that they are advocating • system that would have con-
tinued etaratioa to • vast multitude of the indestrione
people of this country. We have had a redaction
of miry Aral duties. We bat had a redaction of
aroma. Seger has been introduced at much lower rates
of duty. The policy that Sir Robert Peel pursued was
questioned in the Howe of Commons, and it was predicted
that it cur entailing ruin and less up= the revenue of the
country. But we have the satidestion of teeing that lower
duties bare increased the reveler; and the sugar at Its
prosiest low rates is yielding a greater amount of revenue
than it has ever drone at the high, ex whiter, and protective
rate that it has ruled at for many years. And ague, we see
the protectiosis's quarrelling with the quantity of sugar that
has been Introduced into this conntry. They say the aken-
toning of protection is injurious to the colonies. Bet they
again forget that the pimple of this country are the mew
errs of the sugar; and if less sugar be brought into the
runtry, again there must be a &Final= of comfort, and
dens of almost the neeessaries of hfir. And, therefore, we
see on almost every hand that the ruse el policy has bra
one le perfect harmony with oar marital interests, and, at
the same time, with humanity. Per Leneseithe cotton may
be regarded as an essential legvedient for the welfare of
the pit** as almost any other commodity. We have to
regret that even yet we are simnel exclusively dependent
upon solitary sources of supply fee this raw material. We
desire to see rues somiag from every quarter of the world
where there is the power of growing it; and whatever we
