Enough was said and done to enable us to make out
a short list of prices, but the room was thinly attended;
and, except that a few of the prices were indicative of
improvement, and the consequence, no doubt, of the
scarcity of books, business was alike flat and unim-
portant. The last odds were as under:—

CHEAP SUGAR, COFFEE, BREAD,
AN!) TIMBER !

(From the British Queen.)
The advantages of the Ministerial measure have, to our
view, never yet been lucidly and fully, as well as bri.,"fly, laid
before the people. Thoroughly understood, there would not
be a dissentient voice. All the fair sex would.'
They might ;save one-quarter of the he•- oe in its favour.
,sek„ping outlay for
pin-money. It is a choice between r.!„, gift of an additional
income,, or the Tory alternative{ of a taxed income. The
ine-asure is a bonus of 1/. per week, or 521. per annum,
4.,t) every housekeeper W'rio lays out 4/. per week in
household necessaries. Let it be remembered, that the
principal feature of the measure is Cheap Bread, with-
out which the staple manufactories of the country,
already sinking, will be driven successively from every market
of the world, and gradually and ultimately perish. But cheap
sugar, cheap coffee, and cheap timber, are combined in this
memorable measure with cheap bread. A brief comment on
each division of the gift may be serviceable. The Corn-laws
and provision laws, according to the evidence of Dr. Bowring,
and Messrs. Macgregor and Hume, lay a direct tax, which
may be averaged at thirty millions annually, on the working
British community. But indirectly, by their mischievous reaction
(such is the proved assertion of Mr. Al‘Gregor), they tax
the same community to the extent of double the amount
of the revenue ; namely, fifty millions. A fixed duty
of Bs. per quarter would be tantamount to a tax of a penny a
loaf on every individual of the population of Great Britain on
behalf of the landlords, and put into their pockets ten millions
annually. Is not that enough protection for a prosperous and
idle privilege, at the expense of decaying industry and na-
tional prosperity? Next, with regard to sugar. The in-
dustrious classes might at this moment have sugar (Bra.
zilian sugar is now lying in bond at Liverpool at 21-d.
per pound) at 3d. per pound, instead of 9d. And be it
remembered that this sugar would be given in return for their
labour, and for our manufactures, for the production of which
we have long taken, and are now taking, slave-grown
cotton. Away, then, with the new hypocritical pretence of
the old West India slave-floggers in behalf of their former vic-
tims, the negroos. Well has Mr. Edmund Turner denounced
it as an "infantile cry" which conveniently forgets the white
slave of our ill-clothed, ill-fed, ill-housed, and slowly-starved
working population. The sugar-tax in favour of the West
India interest amounts to five millions annually on the com-
munity. Why are we to pay over again, every four years, the
West India compensation of twenty millions ? Let us next
refer to coffee ; and let us look to the evidence regarding it in
the Report of the Import Duties' Committee. It appears, by ex-
cluding Brazilian and St. Domingo coffee, we pay 80 per cent.
more for our coffee than all the other States of Europe ; and that
those States, while they they take the cheap coffee of the Bra-
zils, and increase thereby their comfort and industrious power,
supersede our manufactures in the Brazilian market. Mean-
while the revenue loses considerably by the prohibited coffee be-
ing smuggled by way of the Cape of Good Hope. Thus the
community is heavily taxed, arid the protective purpose abso-
lutely defeated. Lastly, let us take the example of the
timber duties. The working people in their miserable dwell-
ings, and the commercial interest in their shipping, are
taxed 200 per cent ! ! And for what ? In order to force
us to bring bad Canadian timber from a dis-
tance, instead of good Norwegian timber, which is near at
hand. The cottages of the working poor are made hovels only
fit for animals by this process ; and the murderous process of
slow starvation, begun by diminished employment, is com-
pleted by unwholesome dwelling ; and for whom is this prepos-
terous protection For Canada.? No. For the United States,
whose timber constitutes the great bulk of that which is im-
ported under the name of
i Canadian, and whose working po-
pulation are employed n cutting the actual Canadian
timber. The stupidity of the mischief is not yet half
explained. Norway refuses our manufactures, because we
refuse her timber, and builds ships for one-third less, for our
Continental rivals, than they can be built here ; while she and
the foreign shipowners can provision their crews at half the
price, in consequence of our restrictions of the importations
of corn and provisions, to maintain the privileged luxury
and mischievous predominance of the Tory landed aris-
tocracy. Is not the gratitude for which they reward us
for all these sacrifices written in their present acts?
Is not the vicious circle of mischief complete ? Is a
word more requisite to convince any person, of the slightest
common tense, that we have been blundering for years in a
wrong path of self-destructive folly, out of which the Minis-
terial measure offers us the outlet into the mean road of social
comfort and commercial invigoration. Will the people reject
this great concession, greater than ever was offered by any
Administration ? Will they reject the daily bread for which
they daily pray ? Will they prefer social disease and national
decline, to a_wholesome system leading to national convales-
cence and renewed prosperity? That choice is before them,
and in their power.
